Patch-Notes:

- Fixed some spray-descriptions
- Illegal items can now be discarded (as intended)

- Added two new valentine's themed cosmetic upgrades (available for all cars)

PATCH 1.0.0.8b

HOTFIX UPDATE (1.0.0.8b):
- Fixed a bug where interacting with people could lead to unintended things happening.

------

New patch!
Fixes some quite critical bugs, most notably one with a certain hitchhiker's quest since last patch.

- Fixed the flag-upgrades so they work correctly now. Used to give EXTRA discount when you installed them and also when you loaded the game. (note they gave too much discount before. They should give a 20% discount.
- Pressing "I" to open your trunk while driving now stops the car as if you would've selected it from the car menu.
- Fixed kicked hitchhikers showing up at destinations
- Fixed CD player description (it was outdated and reflected the demo player)
- Might've fixed the "Not-so-fullscreen"-bug or whatever to call it. I've added a little work-around that could help for those who've had issues with the game launching in a smaller screen with the mouse-cursor being hard to control. This is a quite experimental work-around but I hope it would help some.
- Fixed a bug where cafe-bought coffee would crash the game when it got cold.

spoiler patch-notes:

- Fixed so "the Hiker" doesn't return as level 1.
- Fixed a bug where the Race was unable to start when certain conditions happened at the same time.
- If you arrive in the city where grandma is when you get the Inheritance quest, she will be there!
- After you've talked to grandma, she'll disappear after you've rested or worked in the same city.
- Fixed so the Punk club appears correctly now. Note that if you're already in the city where the club should be, you'll have to go back and forth in order for the club to appear.
- Completing the Punk's quest should no longer also give you a "Quest failed"-message.
- Fixed the name of "Festival Kit" in the unlock message you get when completing "The Festival

Another patch up (should be available shortly, it's already live on the test branch)! Thanks for all the feedback and bug-reports. If you encounter some serious bug please don't hesitate to write about it. Added some QOL-updates to the inventory this time around: The ability to move things to your extra-space form the right-click-menu and to rotate an item that you're holding by pressing the "R"-key.

Here are the patch notes:

- Fixed a rare crash for some players when loading a game in rain
- Muscle car's description now correctly says 3 passenger seats
- You can now rotate an item while holding it and pressing "R". This also works when holding an item from a shop!
- Fixed crash when trying to use a cd from the glovebox. (you can no longer use cds from there)
- When shift-clicking to buy something with the extra-space active, the item will move to the extra space instead of the trunk. (same with items outside of the trunk)
- Added "MOVE" as an option to the item-right-click-menu. This will swap an item to the extra-space (if you have any). If used from extra-space it will move the item back to the inventory.
- When using an item in the extra-space that spawns a "new" item (like baguette or jerry-cans) they will stay there.
- The dimensions of the roof-racks are now correct in the item-description
- No more raining in the desert

- Punk club is no longer in ALL cities (only the city specified in his quest)

HOTFIX (1.0.0.3b) Live!
Some rare but important issues have been addressed in this hotfix. Threw in some small fixes while I was at it as well.

- Fixed a couple of rare crashes that could happen for some players in options menu or when picking up a hitchhiker.

- changed sprites for the fender for the muscle car to fit the item-sprite.
- added more info about the roof racks in their descriptions.
- removed the "hair-effect" when checking your extra-space
