Hot Fix

Hello players! With this update, we’ve fixed the major issues you reported and made your gameplay experience more stable. You can see the applied fixes below:

1. Showroom and Vehicle Management
Issue: When you deleted a showroom while it still contained a vehicle, that vehicle would disappear as well.

Fix: Deleting a showroom now only removes the showroom object; vehicles stored inside remain safe in your depot.

2. PSO TRACE Mouse Stuttering
Issue: Mouse movements would stutter while playing in PSO TRACE mode.

Fix: Optimized the interaction between PSO TRACE and the mouse; mouse movements are now smooth.

3. Office, Caravan, and House Add-On Errors
Issue: Certain add-ons for offices, caravans, or houses (for example, changing the house color) were producing errors.

Fix: Reviewed all office/caravan/house add-ons; color settings and other customizations now display correctly.

4. Car Auction Error Trigger
Issue: In the “Car Auction” screen, clicking on a buyer would trigger an error if there were vehicles in your depot.

Fix: Improved the auction entry logic to check for vehicles properly; no errors now occur even when you have cars stored.

5. Saved Game (Save) File Errors
Issue 5.1: When loading save files from before a map change, the game would throw an error and fail to start.

Fix: Added a patch that detects old map formats and applies the necessary conversion. Save files from before the map change now load without issues.

Issue 5.2: Players with older-version save files encountered errors when opening the game.

Fix: Restored full backward compatibility for all previous-version save files. Older saves load properly so you can continue your progress seamlessly.

6. Drag Race Transition Animation Error
Issue: Transitioning to the “Drag Race” screen would trigger an error during the money-text animation.

Fix: Reworked the money animation code; transitioning into a Drag Race now plays the animation smoothly without errors.

Note: All of the above fixes have been thoroughly tested based on your feedback. If you encounter any other issues or have suggestions, please let us know. Enjoy the game!








New Update : Improvements



[h3]1. Game Launches Faster[/h3]

In the past, when you first started the game, all vehicle data would load onto your computer at once. This often caused long wait times. Now, we load each car only when you actually need it.

How does this help? The loading time is reduced when you enter the game. Vehicles appear much faster when you browse the menu or switch to a new map.

[h3]2. Smaller Updates When You Have Internet Connection[/h3]

If there’s an update on Steam, instead of downloading the entire vehicle pack again, we only download the small pieces that have changed.

How does this help? Ongoing updates take up less space and download more quickly. When we add a new car or fix visuals on a model, the update size stays small, so the download time is shorter.

[h3]3. Uses Less Memory (RAM) on Your Computer[/h3]

Because not all cars are loaded into memory at the same time, your computer can run more smoothly while you play.

How does this help? If you play for a long time or change maps, you’re less likely to experience stuttering or lag. This makes the overall experience more fluid and enjoyable.

[h3]4. We Can Add New Cars Instantly[/h3]

When our development team creates new cars, new skins, or extra add-ons, those items become available automatically as soon as you update the game. This means:

You can use new vehicles without needing to download a massive file.

If we only change a few models, only those model files get updated.

Car For Sale Simulator 2023 - Community Anouncement! 📢



Hello CFS23 Community 👋


Based on recent comments and feedback, we are fully aware of the performance issues and bugs that have been affecting the game. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and dissatisfaction this may have caused.

Our development team is currently fully focused on optimizing the game and fixing existing issues. As part of this effort, we have postponed the release of previously planned DLC packs. Our top priority is to make the base game more stable and enjoyable for everyone. Once we complete these improvements, we plan to share the DLC content with you as well.

We've also noticed that some of our players miss the old map. In response, we will be launching a poll very soon to gauge interest. If enough players would like to see it return, we will consider reintroducing the old map as an optional content.

Throughout our journey, we've made it a priority to grow and improve the game alongside our community. We understand that you expect better performance from Car For Sale Simulator 2023, and we are committed to doing our best to meet those expectations.

Over the next month, we will be sharing major updates focused on performance improvements.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Red Axe Games Team
