Update for Windows and GNU/Linux New Feature: Added Toolbox When to use? If you dont want to go to the workshop every time to repair your car. Where to buy? Available at the workshop. Special function: Allows you to call a quick tow truck to restart the car if it falls into the water. Instant repair: Press 1 to repair the car at any time. Limited uses: Can be used twice before needing to buy another one. Fixes and Improvements

• License Plate Validation: The game now checks if the car is registered at the start.
• Collectibles: Fixed an issue that allowed players to collect them multiple times.
• The message confirming that the game was saved now correctly appears in the mobile profile.
• The message confirming that the save was loaded has also been fixed.
• Added the "Chase Cam Lag" effect to one of the fixed cameras.
• Fixed the cursor not appearing in the house purchase menu.

• Achievement Fix: If you already own a house but the achievement was not unlocked, it will now be unlocked automatically.

Important Notice: The displayed house price is 10,000, but it is currently charging 20,000. We are investigating the cause. Recommendation: Do not attempt to buy the house with less than 20,000, as the game may also deduct the license plate cost. If this happens, reload your save on the phone to restore progress.
