- Update 0.50.0: Preview 5 - 1 October 2023
Hi, Due to some potential legal issues, there will be change in the scope of our game mechanics. Track FieldBreakers will no longer feature obstacles that change AI drive paths. For Example, In Docks, the Crane Collapse, the Container Shortcut, and the Container Explosion Track Switch will no longer be available. We are still designing unique Track FieldBreakers that will be included in the future, despite the mentioned limitation. There will also be a change to the UI. Most vehicle UI will now be an On-Screen HUD. While we are saddened by these changes, we will move forward and not let it hinder us in creating a fun action racing experience.
