- Graphic bug hotfix

- Reworked graphics: asphalts, grass, materials and lighting - Improved performance on AMD cards and non-RTX cards - Reworked grass alignment - Minor changes to "Wooden hill" - There are more graphics improvements yet to come, but I need to release this patch because I need to update the backend

- Improved lighting & reflections - Slightly reduced build size

- Engine update: Unity 2022.3 -> Unity 6 - New premium formula: Concept 2026 - experience 2026 today! - Significantly improved sharpness of the rendered image - Slightly improved performance on some setups, RAM usage - Reduced build size - Removed several tiny visual bugs - Marginally improved race starts precision - Retextured GEN 1 formula - Fixed very rare issue when time cheat was falsely detected

- Engine update: Unity 2022.3 -> Unity 6 - New premium formula: Concept 2026 - experience 2026 today! - Significantly improved sharpness of the rendered image - Slightly improved performance on some setups, RAM usage - Reduced build size - Removed several tiny visual bugs - Marginally improved race starts precision

- Improved multiplayer synchronization accuracy

- Resources balancing (Lower positions between 2nd and 15th get more resources) - Chat messages are now sent instantly - Improved backend stability - Reduced network bandwidth usage - Bug when game breaks when leaving and rejoining quickly should be fixed - Slightly reduced build size - Slightly improved ideal line coloring + automatic braking

- Fixed collisions - Minor fixes

- Vehicles shouldn't jitter at the start - Minor bug fixes CUSTOM ROOM - Fixed & added proper translations - Added ability to kick unwanted players - When creating custom room you can decide if the created room should be publicly visible. You can join private room by typing their EXACT (case sensitive) name.

- Start synchronization should now be precise - Improved position synchronization - Network bandwidth usage should be improved

- Updated realtime multiplayer SDK - New synchronization algorithm

- Improved multiplayer precision - Main menu slightly simplified (same in terms of functionality) - Slightly reduced build size (14 MB) - Slightly improved RAM usage - Long nicknames now get truncated

TECHNICAL - Improved script performance, especially when the ideal line is turned ON - Reduced RAM usage by 15% to 40% (depending on the scene) - Reduced build size by 120 MB MULTIPLAYER - Improved position synchronization in general - Additionally, improved precision when the vehicle is rotating and better synced vehicle rotation along its axis - Vehicles should be ghosted in the other vehicle lags and become stationary for a brief moment (when several packets are temporarily lost) - When loading race fails, the game now returns to the main menu - Further improvements are yet to come GRAPHICS - Added rocks - Improved skyscrapers on the map "City park"

- Script performance optimizations - Technical fixes

- Steam should detect controllers without problem - Minor technical fixes

- Crashed vehicles are immediately ghosted to prevent pileups - Minor performance optimalizations - Technical improvements

- Fixed: Leaderboards not updating in some cases - Fixed: UI was not responding in lower resolutions - Slightly boosted slipstream and other minor balancing
