Used Cars Simulator News

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

[h3]We have the second update ready! Again - thanks to you![/h3]
We really appreciate your engagement ːsteamhappyː

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]



Our main focus is still the optimization. We're adding the next improvements, but we're still working on it - it's a process. Your feedback is very helpful here.

Here's what else we did:

✅ New Features & Improvements:

• You can now disable quest tracking – making it easier to enjoy freeplay without distractions
  
• A Save button has been added to the pause menu, so you can save without needing to exit to the main menu first
  
• Font size for alert descriptions has been increased for better readability
  
• You can now buy water at the Gas Station
  
• Packages ordered from UsedBay will now be delivered only to the shed - we know that you don't like the port delivery (Note: on old saves, it might still appear briefly)
  

🛠️ Fixes:

• Side mirrors and headlights no longer fall off so easily
  
• Fixed an issue with VSync auto-enabling itself in the settings
  
• Fixed incorrect nozzle size naming in the powerwash mechanic
  
• Fixed alert about high vehicle prices – it now only appears when no one is actually interested in the car
  
• Vehicles left too long at the dealer will now be towed to the police parking lot to avoid spawning cars in the other cars
  
• Various save/load stability improvements
  

🚀 Performance Optimizations:

• Shadow rendering optimized
  
• Reflection performance improved
  

🌍 Localization Fixes:

• Improvements to German, Japanese, Russian, and Polish translations.
  

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

Thank you!

🌐 Localization Updates

• Fixed issues in Japanese and Russian translations
  

🌄 Visual & Performance Improvements

• Fixed the pink rocks issue in the West Hill area

🚗 Hey Awesome Drivers!

The moment has finally arrived when we can share Used Cars Simulator with you in Early Access!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

As you can see, a lot has changed since the beginning of that project 😄

BEFORE

AFTER

Just showing old materials brings a tear to our eye 😄
[h3]YOUR VOICE[/h3]

What our players think is very important to us. That's why we listened carefully to the voice of our community. We took into account the suggestions made in the demo and playtests and improved the Early Access version of the game based on that. We are very grateful for such a strongly involved community!

[h3]We wouldn't be here without you![/h3]

As you probably know, there was also a Community Challenge - we couldn't reach the final goal, but as a thank you for your engagement, we're setting the 10% launch discount ːsteamhappyː

Huge thanks to all the influencers who played the preview version of our game over the past few days! Thanks to you (and the players who watched your streams), we were able to make a bunch of improvements and fixes just in time 😄



FYI - We made over 2,700 PRs on Github (here are just a few of them) and drank hectoliters of coffee while making the game. 😄


We are glad you are here with us! We hope the game will meet your expectations! We look forward to your feedback so we can plan the next updates. 😄
