• Release date: January 10th 2023 (North America, Europe, Japan)
• Patch notes:

New Features

• Engine sounds for Diesel and CNG buses adjust to different RPM and acoustically simulate gear shifting
• Road signs now break and fall over on impact with the bus. They respawn after a short period of time in a certain distance from the bus.
• Added localised subtitles for the passenger voice-overs during drives
• Added customisation options for buses and profile pictures:
  • the primary and secondary colours chosen during Profile Creation are applied to buses as default colours; you can also choose ‘no colour’ to play with the manufacturer’s default colours for the buses
  • the primary colour also applies to your chosen character profile picture
  • added an option to adjust colours for individual buses in your Fleet Menu
• You can choose two additional steering options for touch input in the settings to use:
  • a ‘real’ steering wheel based off the bus’ actual steering wheel
  • or a ‘button’ input to steer with a left and right UI button on the touchscreen

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Improved physics stability for articulated buses and overall driving behaviour
• Passengers and pedestrians are fading in & out when entering or exiting the bus
• Fixed the sidewalk near the ‘Meyer Farm’ bus stop overlapping with the grassy ground

• Crash fixes

Bug fixes and improvements

• Fixed a missing localization string in settings menu
• Fixed scrolling behaving erratically in settings menu

• Fixed issue with the Road Blocker visual effect being overlaid by fog in the background
• Fixed X-axis being inverted
• Fixed satisfaction score calculation showing wrong base values in the end-of-route score screen

• Fixed more instances of gamepad hints in the bottom bar in various menus to say “back” instead of “cancel”
• Reduced road sign collider sizes (some colliders were too big and close to the road making it easy for the bus to collide with them)
• Fixed instances (especially in the Old Town district) where road signs were floating above the ground
• Fixed instance where guardrail pole collider was slightly protruding into the road

• Additional notes: none
