Available for several days in beta test on the test server of the Epic Games Store, update 5 is quite stable and fixes a number of bugs.
It will be released on June 9, for everyone, whether you are PC and console gamers. The main new features of this patch are:
For all platforms:
- New Rift map for the Taymyr environment, with new missions
- 2 new vehicle skins (Derry Longhorn 3194, KHAN Lo4F)
- Multiple save slots, so your brother stops playing your save game
- In multiplayer: players can now switch regions together
PC only:
- Mods: display of the installed mods counter
- Adjusting the force feedback on the handwheels
- Flycam on mod cards
Consoles only:
- The mirrors work!
Steering wheel support for consoles unfortunately could not be included in the update, but should arrive a week or two after the final release of Update 5.0. The full list of bug fixes and improvements will be available when the patch goes live.
Many major bugs have been fixed, such as freezes of the game, but especially the big problems of collisions between cargoes and vehicles, as well as missing vehicles while they are displayed on the map.
Important: The public test server will shut down when Update 5.0 launches, but will be back shortly thereafter to prepare for the “Phase 1” update.
