New & Improved: ????

Balance for Custom Gas Prices: The Custom Gas Prices balance patch fixes gameplay issues where fuel prices led to overly reduced traffic in the early game. Traffic behavior is now more balanced, making the system feel more fair in the beginning of the game. We’ve also made a few UI improvements for clarity and ease of use when managing prices and traffic.
Setting New Fuel Price should close/open fuel pumps to reset the Traffic
Small changes to the questline in early game.

Crash Update: We’ve fixed critical physics issue that was causing most of the crashes, especially during high-traffic or object-heavy situations. With these changes, overall crash frequency should be reduced by around 75%, resulting in a more stable and smoother gameplay experience.
