This update includes the new menu UI, a new car, some physics and AI updates, and many other general improvements. This is our last planned patch before the release of Online Multiplayer, and the patch includes a number of improvements made in preparation!

Gameplay & Performance

• Added a new car: Monster Truck.
• (Finally) added the option to end the current race immediately from the pause menu.
• Made various adjustments to car steering and suspension when the car is tilted at a high angle.
• Significantly improved the handling of the Drift.
• Reduced the friction of "worn" mud.
• Adjusted behaviour of all cars as they approach top speed to improve racing on longer tracks.
• Improved car reset logic.
• Improved ghost car appearance.
• Cars are now ghosted briefly after resetting.
• Various performance optimisations.
• Small adjustments to some car sounds.
• FIXED: Various memory leaks in menus and game have been patched.

User Interface

• Added Italian language localisation (thanks to Marcello Beretta, Amedeo Sorpreso and Riccardo Russo).
• Completely reworked main menu UI (with improved performance and visuals).
• Updates to the in-game UI to align more closely with the new main menu UI.
• Added a news panel to the game with latest information about the game (in English).

Known Issues

• None

• 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.
