Update Speculation thread

this picture from the devblog a little while back shows it pretty well:

 

Another gas station.

So thats at least 2 added to Italy in the next update
Already had 1 in ECUSA and WCUSA

I'm starting to wonder if they are going to introduce a feature to them

 

Explosions... You can't have an open world driving game without petrol pump explosions

It would be like having a mound of rubble with wooden boards placed on top, that you can't ramp over.

 

adding them in there now means that if they eventually add a need for them in a career mode, they won't have to add them way later.

 

I assume these will act as more than fuel stops. It takes so much in game driving to need fuel that it wouldn't be worth it to add them just for that when the player could just refuel automatically or at their garage.

Maybe a source of career mode missions or garages/shops, etc...

 

I just realized Driver: San Francisco had no gas stations

It most certainly is for refueling. However, maybe a career element would be transporting gasoline in tanker trucks?

 

I hadn't log into Steam since Sunday, what's this update?

 

Nvidia error fixed

 

It wasn't a fix, they added a feature to detect if the player is using the broken nvidia driver, and then bring up a warning telling the player about the issue if they are using it.
Since the update went live, nvidia has launched a new driver that addresses the issues.

 

Oh, I didn’t know

 

Ah, how did I forget about that picture, explains it all very well.

I see that this town has a harbour, and the town Norte also does, so boats are getting a function (sort of).

 

@Nadeox1 Will the thumbnail generator be fixed in the upcomming update?

 

Thumbnail generator works fine for me. I go on photoroom light, select 'use current map' and let it take the screenshots.

Apparently messing with advanced settings stuffs it up, so I didn't touch those.

 

I do the same, but since a few updates it does not work anymore. I tried without mods and everyting
I click on generate thumbnails, it goes into the photo room, but nothing happens after that! It does not even keep the car i selected, it just goes back to the default vehicle (blue truck)!

 

Have you tried a clean re-install?

Just move out all your mods and place them back later

 

Just did a clean reinstall, still doesn't work or keeps the selected car.

why do we discuss this here?

 

Okay, my forum notifications have been weird lately, and I haven't got any notifications for this thread. Is there anything I missed?

 

An Italy teaser or two, some drama with the GPU drivers, some stupid drama.

 

I can confirm that in the new picture of Italy, the esbr is shown.
What color is this car? a light green, what color is this car? the same light green color.
therefore, I can confirm this is the esbr shown, and it will be the default color of the config.

 

Thank you captain obvious.
