@discomac45 Totally with you!
This is now completely ridiculous

Wow! haven't checked the PTS yet but photomode sure sounds interesting.... this game is perfect for photo mode and finally ANK would be even more useful with frame add-ons... If anybody find outs any new skins or any other new stuff that's not mentioned in notes please let me know.

Awesome.
Looking forward for this one and finally medium logs on more truck on chassi, now!
Massive patch and new features. Got me hyped!

Thanks

In new map... Every time when I load or unload cargo, attach or detach trailer - game crashes. Game files verified, doesn't help.

Seeing a couple of issues I reported, glad they made it to the new update.
Will start looking into it on the PTS.

Thanks Saber !

@Mzulft
Already found one problem

The finetune gearbox for the Freightliner M916A1 is indeed in the game files but its not available in the customization menu.
There is still only the Special offroad one.

Praise ye be for hearing the community about the new Derry Longhorn 4520 engine.

230000 units of torque, vs 192000 for the last highest one.
Beautiful improvement.

I used to give it the same set of engines than the CAT 745C (with 250000 units of torque for the top engine) and felt it made the truck actually behave properly or at least, it was fun to drive not locking its wheels everywhere.

Now with its new engine, the DL 4520 is now fun to drive and can actually do something in the game.

Thank you very much Saber.
That's a win in my book.

@SD1ONE Truck Tournament winners received their skins (Ford F750, Azov 8x8, Kolob and Tayga)

@Nextej The F750 doesn't seem to have his skin, the 3 others do.

Where do the pictures get saved I can now make with the "photo mode"?

No currency rewards for any tasks or contracts in Hard Mode. Is this an omission or part of the game play?
Just managed to complete the 'Customisation" contract though. Very useful to access vehicle add-ons etc.
Liking what I see thus far!

@Mzulft

So many quality of life improvements, Thank you very much!

Two comments:

• new scout trailers are so big…ok, normal player will never attach such to tiny Don or other normal scouts (as wel as default 2 slot bed and other big trailers)
  But PLEASE make these trailers available for Gaz 66 and Eger (Tuz Arch and War), Ford F and for small Tatra.
  We need it, since frankly speaking these lorries are not trucks, its a big scouts (as well as Loadstar), and just CANT move huge truck trailers, its just against any common sense and physic laws.

• weather and time in Photomode…are we a gods?)
  Photo craftsmanship is meant to catch the moment, hone it, but not completely change the reality)

@Nextej So, there're 2 8x8 Azovs, Azov 5319 already had a skin that came free to year2 pass owners, Azov 64131 (the winner of tournament) has no skin in my game even it's old skin is not there also As mentioned by @DJbarro F750 also has no skin as of now..but Kolob and Tayga did get new skins

Why is this beta still doesn't active in a Steam?

massive stuters when moving camera after alt+tabing the game

@SD1ONE do you have any local mods in media folder in MyDocuments, or any other types of mods that may override customization_presets file?

Edit: if you got none of above, then it means the new skins are by default disabled, you need to navigate to \SnowRunnerPublicTest\en_us\preload\paks\client\initial.pak[media]\classes\customization_presets\ and copy the XML file to \Documents\My Games\SnowRunnerBeta\Media\mods\<nameyouwant>\classes\customization_presets (create the needed folders in the process)
you can also download that file here if it's easier for you: customization_preset.xml

note that it will only work on proving grounds

@Mzulft said in PTS Update 16.1 [28/10/2021]:

Season 6 - Haul & Hustle

Hello Mzulft .. When will Season 6 - Haul & Hustle be available individually in the store without Season Pass 2 or do these additions only work in conjunction with Season Pass 2 ??

@936-Farmer-CH Yes you'll be able to purchase the DLC separately
