Latest Steam announcements

• Netcode Improvements - Testing at 9pm ET Tonight! - 27 August 2025

  We'll have an organized test tonight to try out some of the netcode changes. This should be a massive improvement when cars start crashing, but I need 5-10 people online to see. Hope you can join us at 9pm ET tonight!

• VSync Now Available and Softlock Fixed for Single Player Races - 26 August 2025

  VSync is now an option at the bottom of the settings menu. The softlock after crashing in single player races has been resolved.

• Oops (Not Able to Race Bug Fixed!) - 25 August 2025

  When music was set to "OFF" players couldn't race. Oops! It's been fixed.

• Mini Seasons (Up to 36 races) are working with in-game points standings! - 25 August 2025

  You can now select "Mini Season" when starting a server. This will initiate "Season Mode" which will allow you to track points for the duration of the season. A few notes: As of right now, a user must finish the first race of the season in order to be added to the standings and subsequently have their points tallied. Working on a fix for this! Season standings can be viewed when you return to the lobby. There will be a UI element automatically populated on your screen. Also in this build: Shortened up the intro cinematics for each race, to save about 10 seconds. Removed duplicate chat widgets for spectators and before the race starts when input is disabled.

• Updated drafting physics & netcode update - 24 August 2025

  Further improvements to the drafting physics Small netcode update

• Physics Updates - 24 August 2025

  After seeing a lot of runs stall out near the front of the field, DRAFTYCAR officials wanted that changed immediately. All physics have been updated accordingly. The #1 truck has a new paint scheme

• Game Menu Glitch Fixed - 23 August 2025

  Fixed an issue where you'd try to collapse the game menu and it would overlay another menu on top of it in certain scenarios. This was introduced a couple of builds ago. Early access things.

• v1.68 - 23 August 2025

  Adjusted physics for all cars Adjusted chat widget Adjusted blowover physics (WIP) Adjusted crash likelihood based on the amount of laps the race is.

• Text chat enabled - 22 August 2025

  Text chat is enabled! You can now chat in both the PP Lounge and Race Sessions. There will probably be a couple of scenarios where input is disabled and you cannot text chat, but I will iron out those issues soon.

• v1.65 - 21 August 2025

  Fixed a bug that would stop the race from finishing. Adjusted physics for the leader to make leading less overpowered.

• v1.65 - 21 August 2025

  Players can no longer hit 260 mph.

• Steering Issue - 20 August 2025

  The previous build bugged the keyboard steering. Quick fix to resolve that.

• v1.62 - 20 August 2025

  Fixed an issue where the server's car would crash out of the race and sometimes delete all of the cars May have fixed an issue where spectators would see the race running order fill the entire screen and make it so the user cannot see the race. Fixed issue where players couldn't see running order as cars cross the line to complete a lap after crashing out of the race. Added logic so players do not inherit crash camera if they are about to slide across the line wrecking on the final lap Tweaked crash physics and likelihood Top speed adjusted for all cars Changed blowover effect so cars catch more air Moved the finish line camera back so players can see more of the chaos Steering sensitivity has been tweaked

• 1.59 - 19 August 2025

  Fixed an issue where AI cars were crashing too frequently.

• 1.58 - 19 August 2025

  Updated physics to avoid parking lot/gridlock style racing.
