• Several broken links within the PDF of the Guide were fixed
  

(!!!) Dear mod creators, the fix to the problem in the mod editor, that we warned you about, will not be in the next patch, we will continue to work on fixing the issue. But for now here is the guidance on how to avoid the issue: add all the new rivers and overlays to groups; before editing the old ones - transfer them to groups. We strongly recommend you to follow the guidance. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Already the fourth Community Update of the year, let's do a little recap of what's happening on SnowRunner’s roads!

[h2]🎊 It's SnowRunner 3 year anniversary 🎉[/h2]

36 months, 156 weeks, 1095 days spent on the road. It’s been 3 years already since SnowRunner was launched on PC, PS4 and Xbox One! We wanted to thank you all for the support you gave to us since the beginning! The game would not be what it is today without you, and we’ll keep on improving to give you the best of SnowRunner! The adventure is far from over 😃



[h2]You runners are really creative ⛏️📸[/h2]

[h2]Short FAQ[/h2]
Here is a small FAQ to answer the frequently asked questions:

When is season 10 coming?
While we can’t give you a release window yet, we can tell you that our teams are currently fully focused on it! A little more patience ;)

When will coop issues be fixed on Xbox consoles?
Our devs are aware of the problems and are on the set. It demands a lot of time and patience, and the team made good progress over the last months. We’ll keep you updated on that matter, we apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience in the meantime.

Will there be a PTS update soon?
We’re expecting to have a PTS update prior to the Season 10 update. No date to communicate yet, we’ll make sure to let you know if a PTS update is on the way.

Why are there less mods available on PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch?
Modders have to update their mods to be available on the different platforms, and then, the mods have to be approved by mod.io, that's why some mods are not available on some consoles.

When will the mastodon DLC be available?
The Mastodon DLC will be available soon, stay tuned not to miss the info!


[h2]It's almost time for the Mod Creator Awards 🏆[/h2]
Like every two months, our devs pick their most liked mods on mod.io! The winners receive a prize, so if you’re into modding, don’t hesitate to share your creations on mod.io! If you missed them, here’s the last edition winners:

• Z2 Captain Firetruck by zxp990
  
• Mega Cab HD by JohnJohnHotRod
