Update Speculation thread

I'm sure they do interaction crash testing. Like crashing a 200bx against a t-series, to make sure it doesn't go through it.

 

it does, from the image it looks like quite a bit of adjustment, makes me wonder if only 200bx will get the new detailed mirrors in the new update, cuz its probably bit hard to adjust for all current vehicles (might take a bit.)

 

Yes, but if they do, they'd do such stuff at the end of the work in progress stuff and when everything is finished and it's near the update time, to check for minor bugs or problems that have to be fixed before the update drop, they could also test and fix such stuff in the hotfixes, more necessary stuff should be working right as the update drops

 

Maybe i'm a bit insane too, is it just me, or did the graphics get better?

 

Leeloo tweaks the sun settings (and maybe slight photoshop) for the teasers
(older teaser for reference)

The lighting does look a tiny bit nicer.

 

What if it is that time?

 

Uptade toady?
bad spelling on purpose

 

I am 80% sure the next update is going to be career mod based, maybe we are getting new missions for the t-series in the labourer branch or new pickup deliveries that require the t- series ( i really hope so)

 

It is not usual ANYWHERE to release the update as soon as / the same day you release a teaser, no game dev would do that as far as i know

 

Maybe they decide to be first lol.

 

Remember that one time the update dropped a day or 2 after the teaser?

I meant "It is that time" as in they were doing all the minor bugfixing you talked about. The stuff they do just before they release it.

 

Releasing a teaser usually consists of something the devs are working on, witch means they are still working on some stuff, thus the update is not ready yet, and i dont think any dev team is fast enough to prepare some unfinished stuff shown in a teaser that fast to be able to release the update on the same day of releasing the teaser.

 

No way thet it will happen, the creator program hasn't been updated since december

 

It can be possible that the teaser is an already finished product, just with W.I.P slapped onto it.
Leeloo, please confirm or deny that an update is close, this debate will be endless.

 

It's not endless. It will end as soon as the update drops

Also "close" is a variable amount of time, "close" could be 1 day or 1 month!

 

The new things (200bx refresh/remaster, and trailer with logs) are shown ingame, which im pretty sure is really far down in development, only QA after that?, They are also updating qa a lot, so there is a high chance update will be early april.

 

A precast concrete vendor would open up a lot of possibilities. I was able to get a tour of a precast facility last year, they're cool places. Like a miniature version of the steel factory we got in 0.30. While the precast jersey barriers are an obvious choice, there's all sorts of precast material props we could see that would lend to various possible laborer missions/businesses. Good opportunity for some heavy weight delivery missions, and some pick missions if we ever get a crane.

 

Maybe the 300bx is getting a refresh along with a new car

 

Yes, the trailer is new. We've only had flat trailers (and the extendable one, which has placing hooks for levelling the rear load up with the front one, due to the height difference between its two parts) up until now but this here has a kink going down right above the landing gear, presumably for lowering the center of gravity of the rear load, which is more susceptible to crosswinds.

edit: Also, no other trailer has railing protection mounted up front.
