Used Cars Simulator News

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

[h3]We have the next update ready! [/h3]

But before we explain what's actually in this update, here's a brief instruction.

Sometimes you can have a problem with launching the game (or some parts of it) after the update. This issue could be related to Steam and not the game itself. If you encounter a problem like that, please check your local files here:



[h3]And now, let's get back to our update...[/h3]



In this update, we focused heavily on elements that can improve optimization. And we're still working on it - with each update, we try to add something that will increase your FPS.

Here's what we did:

• significant FPS gains due to vegetation optimization
• fixed some memory leaks
  
• improvements of the reflections on the roads
  
• improved the reflections on the hidden shelf behind the poster
  
• fixed the issue where cars often showed up with a listing price the same as 'If restored to 100%' price (so you couldn’t make a profit on them). Now, these cars will appear much less often
  
• fixed the price difference for cars with nitro (sometimes the price on the Cars For Sale screen didn’t match what NPCs offered when you got close to them)
  
• made improvements in translations for Polish and German
  

We're still open for your opinions, suggestions, and all the feedback - it helps us improve the game!

Thank you!

[h3]And now, let's get back to our update...[/h3]



Here's what we did:

• significant FPS gains due to reflection optimization
• hiding spot where you can hide from the police – reaching it ends the chase (there’s a distance bar on the screen, and also an indicator)
  
• the ability to hang license plates in the shed (on a special shelf behind the poster)
  
• an option to disable notifications in the settings
  
• slightly reduced police speed
  
• fixed the quest related to upgrading the shed and buying it from the old man
  
• some changes to the economy, so you can now make a bit more profit from cheaper cars
  
• improved the “Cars For Sale” screen – instead of Market Price, you’ll now see the car’s value after restoring it to 100%
  
• increased scroll speed on several screens
  
• fixed a glitch in the quest log
  
• removed a memory leak that occurred when adding car parts to the inventory
  
• made improvements in translations for French, German, and Portuguese
  

Many of you often ask about the ability to hide the UI in the game. This is just a reminder that there’s an option to disable it completely (using the ] key). We’ve also recently added the option to hide car hints ːsteamhappyː
