Hotfix #144

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
[h3]Changes:[/h3]
  • Trailer pins are now hidden on the minimap when attached to the vehicle currently driven by the player. Improved minimap readability.
  • Fixed an issue where the negotiation window could lose focus, causing keyboard shortcuts to stop working.
  • Improved the trailer attachment position on the transporter.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed assigning employees to transport wrecks the player had not interacted with yet.
  • Improved vehicle dust VFX when driving on asphalt.


[h3]Recent changes to negotiations[/h3]
We see that many of you have reported issues with negotiations, so we would like to clarify a few things.

There were no changes to the core negotiation system. The limitations applied only to the Non-Negotiable option and to customers who automatically accepted the price without negotiating. These limits were introduced because vehicles could be sold with no price restrictions and this was being used as a money glitch.

We improved the attractiveness bar behavior. When switching the price to Non-Negotiable, you can now check whether customers will be interested at all. The lower the bar fill, the longer the wait for a customer. This has always worked this way.

Market Value is an average market price that takes into account the vehicle’s age, mileage, and technical condition. It is not an indicator of profit or loss, but only a guideline for the price at which you can sell the vehicle.

The difference between the purchase price and your total investment, including replaced parts, is visible on the scanner. It is also displayed in the negotiation window next to Purchase Price. Green indicates profit, red indicates loss compared to the original purchase price.

We are working on improving the clarity of the negotiation window and plan to introduce changes that will make it easier to navigate.

Additional economy-related updates are coming soon. These changes will also prepare the game for an upcoming DLC that introduces new types of parts.

First Look at Office Customization

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
In today’s devlog, we’re sharing more updates from the development of the Up 2 You DLC.
We’ve recently wrapped up the devlog series focused on vehicle customization. Now it’s time for office customization.

Today, we want to show you a few furniture sets that you’ll be able to swap inside your building.
The sets are divided into thematic styles. These are working names for now:

  • Texas



  • Steampunk



  • Cyberpunk



  • Modern







In the upcoming devlogs, we’ll reveal:
  • what you’ll be able to do with specific furniture pieces,
  • and what other elements you’ll be able to customize, to make your dealership fit your personal style even better.

Hotfix #141

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
[h3]Changes:[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug that placed vehicle dealers outside the city limits. This change also affects dealers in your saves - they will be moved to the city border. Unfortunately, affected dealers may have incorrect vehicle assignments, so check if the price matches the vehicle; we suggest cancelling those meetings. Newly scheduled meetings have correctly assigned vehicles.
  • Aligned zone icons with the new icons on meeting pins and email offers.
  • Fixed the appearance of the non-negotiable option – the listing on the portal no longer appears inactive.
  • Fixed a bug where customers agreed to any vehicle price when using the non-negotiable option.
  • Fixed adding missing parts to the shopping list.
  • Fixed dust VFX in the UMX 800C model.
  • Fixed the position of license plates on the P2 model in traffic.
  • Fixed the driver position on the P2 model in traffic.
