Hello everyone! Today there’s a new build in the beta branch for Jalopy. Details on how to access this branch will be at the bottom of this announcement.

Build 0.612

• Fixed issue with level 2 and 3 tool racks not loading
• Added a new loading screen
• Moved game loading to a separate and lower priority thread, but unity still has bottle neck issues with loading which I'm not able to access, so some momentary hitches during loading screen still occur.
• Rebuilt how windscreen visual damage works, so should be a more reliable indicator of car overall damage
• Fixed car tipping over (for reals this time, I think)
• Added collisions to gate cars at scrapyards
• Cleaned up the visuals of scrapyards slightly to make it easier to spot scrapped components
• Fixed some shopping basket clipping issues
• Fixed shops breaking if trying to sell an item with a value of 0
• Added bulk selling when using the shopping baskets at the checkout counter
• Fixed shopping basket weight being applied to car weight when out of the car
• Added touched up loading art from Gunstone Build 0.612
• Fixed CSFR Map Yugoslavia error - Fixed floating puddle in CSFR
• Removed doppler effect which distorted audio playback
• Added pause option to allow hiding cursor
• Fixed issue with R joystick look not working for brand new players
• Uncle no longer flips car during tutorial
• Fixed some shopping basket clipping issues
• Fixed shops breaking if trying to sell an item with a value of 0
• Added bulk selling when using the shopping baskets at the checkout counter (you can now use a bucket filled with goods and the cashier will sort them all for you)
• Fixed shopping basket weight being applied to car weight when out of the car
• Fixed issue with level 2 and 3 tool racks not loading

Known issues:

• We recommend playing through the tutorial with the mouse and keyboard. There is a small hiccup in the game when using a 360 controller that can halt progress through the tutorial
• Some issues when trying to reverse on an xbox 360 controller when completely stationary. If the car is in any sort of movement though, the player can reverse.

If you have any issues, do let us know in the forums.
