Update v0.2.29c6163

This update should address a bunch of common issues as well as add a variety of small improvements. There will be further changes and improvements to the AI, physics, UI and other areas in future updates. Please let us know if you encounter issues!

Gameplay

AI has been improved somewhat - they now follow the racing line more confidently and take less avoiding action.
AI skill level is now more representative and accurate.
AI should no longer get "lost" after resetting.
AI should no longer pit on the last lap of a race in most cases.
Updated the Formula and the General to be less "floaty" and more driveable.
Increased the top speed of the Lightning.
Added a penalty for holding down the throttle whilst the lights go out.
Made the tyre wear rate depend on grip (lower wear on low-friction surfaces like ice).
Adjusted the colliders for the open-wheel cars, to allow them to race better side-by-side (and not get tangled in objects).
Small update to the Collisium track.
FIXED: Reverse should no longer enable when braking and drifting.
FIXED: Large world-size tracks no longer clip into the background.

Audio

Slightly adjusted the engine audio for the Lightning and the Classic.
Slightly adjusted default audio levels.
FIXED: Sound sliders should now appropriately control engine and car noises again.
FIXED: Player cars should no longer change audio level (or lose audio completely) when crossing the finish line.

User Interface

Adjusted how the colours are displayed in the Customise menu and added tooltips.
Updated the AI slider to show values and allow entering specific values.
Inverted the damage bar to increase with damage, rather than decrease.
Added an option to specify a frame-rate limit, in the Options menu (does not apply to menus).
Framerate in menu is always limited to 60fps to reduce GPU burden.
Updated the track list to be categorised by difficulty.
FIXED: The cursor no longer disappears when returning to the main menu from the "Press Any Key" screen before a race.
FIXED: Some minor misplaced UI.

Track Editor

Improved the way the pit AI line connects to the main AI line.
Added random track names to the track save dialog.
Narrowed the default width of the AI line gates to make placement easier.
Made it essential to have an AI line before a track can be uploaded to Steam Workshop.
Adjusted the default track zoom to be closer to the track.

GeneRally 2 is a friendly top-down arcade racing game - with an easy-to-use, built-in track editor. GeneRally 2 is the sequel to the 2002 classic, GeneRally - one of the most played arcade racing games of all time! Have fun racing alone against the AI; with your friends in "no split-screen necessary" couch PvP; or try your hand at creating tracks and sharing them with the world.

GeneRally 2 now in Early Access! If you want to find out more about the Early Access process, please read our developer blog post on the subject!

Experience a wide variety of fun and interesting tracks created by us, by the GeneRally 2 community - or make the perfect track for you in our track editor. With 60+ objects (and more being added all the time); 12 different surface types (from dirt and gravel, to snow and ice); and a feature-packed terrain-editing tool - the only limit is your imagination! Upload your creations to Steam Workshop and share them with the world. You can even import tracks from GeneRally 1 directly into the game!
Race against the clock (and the ghost car) in time-trial; against the AI; or with friends in couch PvP (online multiplayer coming during Early Access). There's no need for split screen - the whole track is visible at once - so grab your friends and family, and get racing! Compete in single races, or see who's victorious over multiple races in championship mode. Up to 8 players can play together on the same computer.
Customise your car and stand out from the crowd - adjust the colours and paint scheme for you and every car in the race.
Detailed car physics take account of many different real-world parameters like drive-train type (FWD/RWD/AWD), suspension travel/rebound, weight distribution and more! The cars are easy-to-learn but hard-to-master, based on a realistic physics simulation.
Plan your pitstops and manage your fuel, tyre wear and damage over the course of the race - or turn all of those off and enjoy unlimited ability to run your friends off the road!
With a variety of different cars (5 at launch, more coming later), each with their own unique performance and handling characteristics, there's never a dull moment.
Tweak the AI opponents for closer racing - choose between multiple driving style "profiles" and adjust their skill level to battle for victory.
