Hello beloved community!Today, it is kind of content & content update :) I\'ve been working for some time on pack of new road vehicles, and while preparing them for the release, holiday season came so I\'ve also prepared new Christmas quest with Santa.Hope you will enjoy it!New road vehiclesAdded 13 New modern road vehicles including new double decker bus. These were the last missing road vehicles I\'ve planned for the full game. Christmas questThere is a new Christmas quest, featuring 5 unique vehicle versions (reskins for goods delivering vehicles) and loco as a reward!Get on board a car for goods delivery, find Santa waiting at a station and give him a lift to any city station where he jumps out and light up the Christmas tree on city center.Repeat for as many cities as possible to get unique locomotive as a reward.I\'ve added also 3D icon of Santa and the distance to him when in driver mode and route list icons visible (by hitting Alt key). This should helps you find him easily. Quality of lifeAdded Metric system (Kph/Mph) game setup. I know I know, sorry it took me so long :) I really appreciate your patience.Change log:Fixed proper Turn around on the end of runwayFixed two potential crashes when accessing missing planned pathFixed cargo filter icons in shared routelistAdded christmass quest, script, visual midification of 5 vehciles, animated Santa on road stops, animated Santa in road vehicles, added co-driver positions for him, etc.Vehicle / wagon with cargo type but no capacity shows visually full loadAdded new script function GetVehicleCargoType(vehicle, preferredCargoType) - return first cargo type detected, but if preferred valid, returns the same string if vehicle have itAdded new script function VehicleSetWagonType(vehicle, index of wagon, new hash)Modified XMass quest now release Santa after each successful delivery so you need to find him every time (but you may change vehicle to test xmass modified versions)Added 3D icon of Santa position when in driver mode and routelist icons visibleAdded emmisive materials supportXmass assets are now using emmisive light bulbsFixed possibility to pick up Santa when manual driving (and station is not in the routelist atm)Fixed black rectangles instead of croswalksAdded Kph/Mph setupFixed strange keys iresponsibility when load savegame from other savegameFixed proper track/road speed hintsFixed driver mode road highlight visualizationFixed issues with loading some saves and start custom maps

Hello beloved community!I have a rather boring update today :) It\'s mainly about the performance of the game engine. I focused on FPS at runtime, but I also significantly reduced the loading time! Due to huge changes in the codebase, it took quite a while, because we had to make sure everything works the way we want. Runtime optimizationsProbably the biggest performance boost comes from the switch from the old \"agents search by track tiles\" to graph-based search. Now the entire track system is divided into graph edges between any crossings, intersections, or track type changes. Any vehicle can very quickly check which path is best at each intersection, so it responds to signal states as it always does, but with less performance impact and without stuttering.Another big benefit is the new ability to move a vehicle by any distance in a single update. In previous versions, vehicles would move multiple times if necessary, each time by a maximum of half a tile. The reason was to ensure proper signal responses and other dependencies during movement. Now, for example, fast trains or planes can move across multiple tiles with signals and crossings, which significantly improves performance.This helped a lot, especially on large and dense maps where performance suffered, especially when accelerating the game by 4x. In some cases, this update can increase FPS by 3x. Loading time optimizationsRegarding loading time, I modified the streaming to only collect lowpoly models, exit the loading screen, and continue streaming the hipoly models. This saved some loading time.I also implemented a non-native driver way of loading models and added custom texture decompression algorithms, making it easier to work with multiple threads and improve loading even more.Loading times were cut by about half compared to the previous version. ImprovementsThere are other updates as well, I improved the terrain and grass rendering, polished up the colors a bit, and last but not least, I added what we call the Lazy Button (hotkey is \"I\"), which can place any object you click on (helpful when you need to switch tools frequently).Meanwhile, I have about 14 of the 16 new road vehicles, so once I finish the last few trucks, we\'ll iterate on the parameters and prepare the next - this time content - update for you ;)

New Industry chain2 new cargo types: Sand and Steel.New buildings: Sand quarry with 2 upgrades and Steelworks with 3 upgrades.New building recipes and Factory upgrade to process steel into tokens and goods.Oil refining process rebalancing including oil wells upgrade to make more oil tokens.New Quests 7+ new quests, 2 old quests improved and modified Era quest.We\'ve also finished the brand new internal script director so it is possible to add more quests easier.New Engines and WagonsSince we are in an advanced diesel age, there are new 4 fast diesel engines.Also we\'ve added 4 new unique engines as a quest reward (reskinned old types, but one is really unique & awesome). There is also one new rare quest wagon.There are new sand / steel wagons but there is also new iron wagon requested by the community.New MapOne biggest carefully prepared map called IslandUpdated all maps with 4th era industry locationsNew FeaturesBuildings now have onboard cameras (172 camera positions for all buildings and building upgrades so you can climb up the chimney and look around or even takea look inside one or two buildings).Now you can easily duplicate any train either stopped inside the depot or runningoutside.Vehicle\'s (or building\'s) onboad cameras now have directions and better transition between cameras itself.Minor improvementsMany script functions for possibility to make quests even more interesting and novelty (already used for 4th era quests).Rendering is now capable to cut holes into the ground for specific building parts (used for sand quarry).Engines and wagons rebalancing.There is also message when you send train to a depot and it finally reachesthe destination :)FixesMany fixes including some pathfinding, autorouting, signals, quests, visuals, post office generating, kph/mph conversions, quest text alignment with buttons and icons. Splash window always starts on primary monitor and fixed prefered monitor index (for cases where removed or switched monitors).and much more.

How i get crack ? :O 

Nuke, Problems of this kind can arise because the game is at the stage of development.
