Yeah. Two days to update and no teaser.

Damage, damage, damage. Visual and mechanical.

Mechanical damage is already in the game. Put the slider (located in the assists tab) to 100% and go change from 5th to 1st and you will blow the engine. The indicator will go red and the engine will cut. Dont know what other things can happen but engine failure is deffo in.

I recently got a TH8RS Shifter and have ruined many an engine practicing my heel n toe skills or lack there off.

If you think that's the final implementation of the mechanical damage Kunos wants to have, you are in for a treat

Remember the last time there was no teasing on FB before a build.....everybody freaked out thinking that Kunos had abandoned the project....ends up that the build was pretty much a bug fix build with no new content.....expect that again is my bet.

i would expect the same this week.

...or they're working hard to give us a surprise, lol

As much as I want mp... I'd be surprised if they released any before first getting CPU/GPU/funny UI-fps issues sorted out. If they were to give us some mp, I think it'd be wise to limit it to 2-4 players plus AI for the time being. Just my 5p's worth

I would still be so freakin' happy with a 2-4 person MP! I would be perfectly ok with just goofing around with my friends, and do some races between us. But I doubt it this week.

We'll likely get some bug fixes, small tweaks to the AI, maybe a small feature here and there. After this week though, we should get 0.9, and that I believe is going to be balls to the walls!

I was thinking the other day of the worse possible scenario for the 1st release of MP : The physics are tied up to the netcode, so if you have 200ms ping you have 200ms input lag

Has any other game ever had that problem? Kunos' isn't reinventing the wheel here you know....or maybe you are being humorous and it went right over my head.

Stelios · Apr 9, 2014

Humor

Michael Hornbuckle · Apr 9, 2014

Here is my speculation:
ability to flat spot tires
brake fade (along with brake heat, etc...)
transmission damage enabled
more intelligence for the AI
behind the scenes bug fixes and such

possibly another step version of a car or two

Although it would not be the mega build with MP and such that most of us want I would still consider this a nice build....only a couple more days until we find out.

This is Kunos not EA. If you want a game that never works correctly and constantly under delivers I suggest you spend (waste) your hard earned $$$ with EA

Still hoping for laserscanned pitbabes...they did promise to put some in, didn't they?

Michael Hornbuckle · Apr 9, 2014

Laser scanned Italian pit babes........

I am fully prepared to go into a level 5 nerd rage with full caps lock if this doesn't happen

Benjamin Hellmann · Apr 9, 2014

hehehe glad you have a few bug fixes

I do keep saying this, but they do need to get the car horn sounds sorted out.
Im telling you, this appears the main blocker to implementing multiplayer, and i expect is also linked to the lack of cpu and gpu optimisation, micro stutter, AI behaviour, and is the primary reason the 458 GT2 hasnt rocked up yet.

I don't need a horn because I'm always in front.
