addedSymphony of ValvesElectric cars are still quiet. I could add “realistic” electric audio, but nobody wants to drive around listening to a cordless vacuum, so I skipped that for now. As always, feedback is welcome. Salute to all my petrolheads. 🫡
addedMusicAround 100 new soundtrack tracks have been added across multiple genres. I genuinely lost count somewhere along the way. The jukebox now offers a much wider range for building playlists.

addedQuality of LifeSupporter DLC owners no longer need to press the refuel button. (Chat, does this qualify as P2W?) Skydeck already supported color and vinyl switching, but it didn’t have an on-screen prompt. That prompt has now been added. Thanks to MrEniena on Discord for pointing it out.
fixedFixesA bug that caused post-processing and retro effects to stop working on certain windows has been fixed. Restarting the game from the menu was also broken; it now works properly. Thanks again to MrEniena and Wightie for reporting both issues.
