Hello Runners!


As we revealed last week in our roadmap update, we are currently focusing on Quality of Life improvements and decided to postpone the release of the Season 2. 

Veteran runners have been asking for a controller scheme that is closer to SnowRunner’s. This update brings a new scheme that is much closer to SnowRunner’s Scheme A. We hope you’ll appreciate it. Don’t hesitate to give us feedback.

Another request that you had was to add a compass on the map. This has now been implemented.

Many other improvements have been made to make your experience smoother in Expeditions. You’ll find the complete details in the patch notes down below. 


Once again, make sure to give us feedback so we can pinpoint where we can improve your experience.


PATCH NOTES


Main features

  • New gamepad control scheme based on SnowRunner’s scheme A.

  • Compass added on the map

  • The bridges that have been built on the terrain are shown on the map.

  • Possibility of truck recovery to any accessible outpost, including recovery between different maps

  • Truck’s markers on the map have been redesigned:

    • The markers have been moved higher to avoid overlapping with the 3D thumbnail of the truck, which caused the player to not understand the direction of the truck

    • The truck’s markers take on the color corresponding to the player in the co-op session and include a hint with the player's name

  • Tips on the Customize screen, which add-on is required to install the selected add-on

  • Area exploration stages have been made easier: players don't have to explore hard-to-reach places to pass a stage

  • When the game starts, a 3D scene of the main menu is displayed instead of static 2D art

  • Several UX and texts improvements related to Base modules

  • Collected Amethyst crystals are sold on exit to HQ

 

New vehicle

  • KHAN 317 Sentinel

    A rugged and reliable 4x4 scout vehicle designed with flexibility in mind. This pickup features a robust frame and a functional exterior with a variety of accessible addons that allow adjustments to the vehicle for both off-road performance and cargo capacity, making it ideal for both tougher terrains and long-distance expeditions.

 

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a significant number of crashes.

  • Fixed SIRO 72 T8-H animations on Xbox One.

  • PROS QR code is readable on Nintendo Switch Lite.

  • Ready-made graphics preset doesn’t reset after restarting.

  • Fullscreen display setting doesn’t reset after minimizing the game.

  • Player’s info is displayed on the truck card on the map while using the Helipad.

  • Fixed a bug where the trade window would not open for one of the co-op players if they were located too far away.

  • Fixed a bug where a truck occupied by a Guest in the previous deployment is blocked as occupied in the new deployment.

  • Fixed a bug where it wouldn't be possible to exit the trade if it had started while using a drone.

  • The HUD layer is hidden when the Expedition Complete screen is displayed.

  • Fixed an incorrect position of Start Co-op and Back buttons hints.

  • Technical strings without localisation for visiting zones aren't displayed when using binoculars.

  • Limited the number of stages that can be displayed on the screen at the same time on expeditions in the Sedona region.

  • Fixed repeated sound after skipping a Drone scanning.

Glad that you gave us Snowrunners controller scheme A. But... It doesn't help players who have played Snowrunner with controller scheme B (like myself), C or D.

 Question: Are you gonna add those in the future? Or better yet, why just don't give us option to freely customise our controller scheme? That would be even better.

First bug: while creating the controller scheme you inverted the garage view camera control. On PC, A and D makes the camera go up and down, W and S makes the camera go Left and Right.

Good update, but new issue. 


Console: Xbox Series X

Unable to launch the Mod Browser. When hovering over the option and pressing A, nothing happens. No error message appears. The browser doesn't load.

Finally, I don't have to remake my video settings back to where they were before I close the game. 
Please keep up on improving the game before adding/selling new content. 
Thanks

Hi. Can we expect a snow map to be added in the future? There are 4 desert maps, one forest map, and zero snow maps! Or are snow maps exclusive to SnowRunner?

2 points:


1. Need better communication with community.  Games issue for 2 days from major developer is meh.  Hire me to be your community outreach coordinator, I promise to do a better job than the current one.


2. Thanks for the update, but stick around to watch for issues.  Mod server has been down for 2 days now and trying reddit or going to mod.io is a joke.  Please fix mod server, with the player count dropping your losing you audience.


From playing your games since mud runner, these are THE BEST off road simulator games.  Please don't take my criticism too harsh.  I can honestly say I can wait to play Roadcraft and beyond.
