Hello, fellow drivers!
Finally, the new update is here!

Since our one and only world builder Betty was taking a break for a new baby, it was good timing to upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.
Although it took longer than expected, we finally have some stable build, thanks to all the Testers!

Unreal Engine5 doesn't make it look or feel different much for now.
But it opens new possibilities for future updates, and Betty is now back in business with new tools in her hands, so stay tuned!

NOTE: Unreal Engine 5 uses DirectX 12 as default, if you have trouble, try using '-DX11' launch option (How to set Launch Option)
