Optimization Update

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
[h3]Optimization Update[/h3]
  • Improved terrain performance, especially on lower-end hardware.
  • Less GPU load while keeping visual quality.
  • More stable framerate, especially when viewing distant areas.


What’s improved:
  • Terrain uses fewer textures at the same time.
  • Terrain uses more precise texture blending on higher quality settings, improving the look of transitions between surfaces.
  • Materials are simpler on lower quality settings.
  • Fewer details are rendered in the distance where they are not noticeable.
  • Reduced memory usage.
  • Simplified terrain rendering.
  • Better scaling based on graphics quality settings.
Result: smoother gameplay and fewer FPS drops.

[h3]Other Changes:[/h3]
  • Added a new option in Settings > Gameplay that enables more detailed information in the negotiation window, including listing price, market value, and purchase price.
  • Reduced the price limit that customers are willing to accept without negotiation. Customers may now agree to a higher amount if the offer remains attractive. The less attractive the offer, the lower the chance of a full-price purchase. This applies only to classic listings without the “non-negotiable” option.
  • Fixed an issue where customers were not entering the dealership building.
  • Improved map visuals in selected areas. Trees now transition smoothly instead of popping in.
  • Improved loading of the police station on the map.
  • Improved traffic pathing for AI vehicles.
