Friday news report! Slight delay in the plans.
Friday News Report!
The upcoming update 0.14 "Control & Dirt improvments" is yet again delayed, Thanks for being patient!
The reason for this delay: in late stages of testing we reworked parts of the dirt becuse we werent happy with its performance,
The rework is done but we need a couple of days to test it, if it goes to plan the update will drop mid week.
One of the other reasons for the delay with the control update is that we included all features you players asked for (that was possible to include) in the control system, even if we knew it might cause a delay. its just worth the extra time.
A bit of a teaser of the new control hints, the hints are toggable with F2
and if everything goes to plan, 0.15 will be on "time" even if 0.14 is delayed(again)
What we are working on & testing that will be included in the update:
*Reworking the Control setup UI so its easier to navigate *Entirely new control system to improve controls & default controls *New system will include presets so if the PC looses a Device you can reassign it in seconds *Improved ability to set up controls like you want them *Improving the dirt lock to make it alot more reliable and so dirt stays in buckets *Fixing the issue where dirt vanishes when you drive longer distances *General improvements to the game/dirt/vehicles *Time & Weather settings *Dynamic Deadzone *Dynamic Control hints *Sense/scalar settings for controls *Pre set ranges for pedals

Controller poll results & Friday news!
Friday News Report! ːsteamhappyː
This week has been a really hectic one with the quite big task of getting the control system ready for testing, on last fridays post there where some good suggestions and after both testing and discussing it we decided to add Modifier keys that replace the old Mode 1 & 2
Adding Modifier keys and other changes takes additional time but we want to have a solid, easy to use and highly customizable control system so pushing the update release a couple of weeks will be worth it. (we are working at max capacity atm & as always, thanks for being patient!)
The poll results from last week showed that its mostly keyboard and Xbox controllers that is used so testing and stuff will be focused on those (dont worry, wheels & joysticks get attention aswell)
Poll results:
The upcoming 0.14 update "Control & Dirt improvments" is planned to drop early-mid June and if everything goes to plan, 0.15 will be on "time" even if this is delayed
