changedMud mats releasing: main feature of mud mats are to slightly drop into the terrain once driven over for stability. It was not possible to retrieve them anymore once they have sunken. Now you can release them by dragging them out of mud with a winch.
removedOld-style Tutorials levels are removed: most people should be able to start playing the Career mode right away since there are sufficient help icons scattered around that explain things. Also, players will get a free pickup and a small trailer from the get-go in Career.
changedTuned game lighting settings for more dynamic/contrast, I guess it looks a bit better?

  • Mud mats releasing: main feature of mud mats are to slightly drop into the terrain once driven over for stability. It was not possible to retrieve them anymore once they have sunken. Now you can release them by dragging them out of mud with a winch.

  • Old-style Tutorials levels are removed: most people should be able to start playing the Career mode right away since there are sufficient help icons scattered around that explain things. Also, players will get a free pickup and a small trailer from the get-go in Career.

  • Open world levels locking: initially locked, open world levels now require players to play Career and reach some player level to unlock. Your existing save-games will load without this restriction. This is to guide players in the beginning to play Career at least a bit since there are more help-hints over there.

  • Tuned game lighting settings for more dynamic/contrast, I guess it looks a bit better?
