Ready, set, go! The Season Pass keeps on smashing with its third DLC
Vienna, AUSTRIA / Helsinki, FINLAND - The Backwood Bangers Car Pack is out featuring three new vehicles: the Outlaw, the Hornet, and the dirtiest, shittiest racer ever: the Honey Pot.
Outlaw: This Hot Rod from the 1930s combines american muscle with agility, so it's a great allrounder! Hornet: This 1980s Euro Coupé stands well against the American muscle cars and is a formidable weapon of choice even for derbies! Honey Pot: Make sure to sit REALLY tight whenever this thing goes upside down!
The Backwood Bangers Car Pack is part of the Season Pass, which is including 20 new cars, 20 special roof decorations and additional car customizations like armor, rims and more. This new content will be released step by step, along with free content updates.
It has come to our attention that a number of users who have special characters in their username have been unable to run the game due to receiving an error message stating that the game is unable to create "settings.conf" file. We just pushed out a small (well, a minuscule) hotfix to address this issue. The game version of the updated build is 0.252066 (printed in the window title).
In case you're still receiving the same error message, please make sure to whitelist the game in your antivirus application and check that you have proper user permissions to My Documents (should be by default).
