Patch Notes

Version 2020.12.16

Have you ever heard people say the last 10% of the work is 90% of the effort? Turns out it's kind of true. We're at the point in development where we are testing, finding bugs, fixing bugs, and grinding some of the rough edges down to a slippery-smooth luster.

The most significant change in this update is this: We finally got our translations for French, German, Spanish and Italian integrated! If you're fluent in these languages, let us know what you think of the translations – turns out there's no word in German for "Cluck-na-do".

Also you probably noticed we changed our versioning system. Goodbye, EA-whatever. Hello, 2020.12.16! Technically we're still in Early Access but this is the first step of getting everything synced for the final release, and date-based versions is how we're doing it going forward.

Here's just a few of the other fixes and changes:
  • Fixed simple lighting for Optimized graphics
  • Changed time scoring criteria to work off rounded 100th's of a second (and an exact match = success)
  • Added smooth loading fade transitions to server images in Tournaments
  • Cleaned up screen transition animations in front-end screens
  • Paint screen polish
  • Trophy and star reward polish
  • Career map optimization
  • Career fog of war polish
  • Fixed sign-in & network check scripting and messaging for Tournaments
  • Added Narrow font for longer localized languages
  • Fixed squashed UVs on paint cans
  • Resetting your game now resets everything (including paints and character dialogs)
  • Icicle smash count stats now work
  • Car collection stats now work
  • Really the list just keeps going….
