Further Work On Progression System Echoing what we said in the previous sprint post, we heard you loud and clear regarding progression and realize this needs to be a priority. We want to get something into your hands sooner rather than later but with this comes a number of hurdles. It also means building in a few other systems around it to expand on in the future but, more about those systems another time! UI Improvements We're also continuing to refine the UI in certain sections, either because they're absent of vital information or aren't clear with the information they're showing, this includes items for the upcoming squad mode. New Character Tweaks While we haven't given away who the new character is yet, we're hard at work making sure everything works correctly with his "larger" frame. Sewer Race Map We teased it last week and production continues with the first pass of our environ…

- Jected EA Development Sprint #1 - 16 May 2023
Fleshing Out The Progression System We've heard the outcry for progression in Jected and we want to address this. While we can't share details and specifics yet, we are looking at moving it up the priority list to start tackling it sooner than our roadmap states. If you've got suggestions for what you'd like to see, we'd love to hear from you! Party/Squad Clarity and Bug Fixes As we continue to work towards partying up with friends and rolling out as a squad visual indication is super important! The last thing you wanna do is t-bone your own teammate.... right? Feedback Deep Dive Since early access began we've had an awesome amount of feedback, now its time to do something with it. We'll be pulling apart all we've received across multiple platforms and seeing where the community's pain points are and, how we can address them moving forward. General Bug Fixes While we've had a couple of…
- Hotfix - early_access.40695 - 11 May 2023
Hello everyone! We just released a small hotfix, this one addresses the problems some players have had trying to find a game. Previously when searching for a match if you didn't meet the ping requirements for a server, it would simply cancel the queue. Now it'll expand the search and if unable to locate a server, place you in your own lobby. While this may mean you'll face off with bots only from time to time if you're unable to locate a suitable server, we are now monitoring to see where we may need to deploy extra servers. But, from now onwards everyone will be able to find a game no matter what.

This hotfix addresses the following issues: - Adjusted a problematic spawn point on the Destruction Dish map - Fixed an issue where cars would often instantly nose dive when going over ramps - Fixed some problematic spawn locations on Grand Finale - Slight adjustment to make the canyon section in the Grand Finale have a smoother flow - Improved on an issue where players would sometimes lose all momentum when switching back to the vehicle mid air - Fixed an issue with changing audio settings with a controller - Fixed the intro camera in Eagle's Nest We are aware that there are still other things that don't work as expected, and we are currently investigating those. Some of these known issues: - Input lag and strange behaviour on collisions with cars - Some UI/UX issues where the navigatio…

In this sprint we’ve been working on a myriad of different things to help improve First Time User Experience (FTUE), revisiting the structure and design of some of our existing maps, and developing our AI further so they feel more like other players and less like epic-driver-bots-of-doom. Our biggest set of priorities in the run-up to Christmas is general stabilization, bug fixing, and getting the game back into the hands of the community to see what you all think of the changes. You’ll be seeing this pop-up a lot in future blog posts as it's super important to us to get you all back into the world of Stuntfest Worldtour ASAP. The same is also said for our server stabilization progress making sure your competitors are where they’re supposed to be … behind you! Our first-time user experience has gone through a number of significant iterations since the project began, starting as a genera…
