Issues unresolved
Vehicle models stuck together after collision
Reducing chance of issue occurring[citation needed] |
---|
|
Falling through the floor or walls of the game map
- This often occurs after changing seats with other drivers many times in a short period.
Change seats again or call 911[citation needed] |
---|
Rivals disappear after changing seats
- This makes it arriving at the destination first impossible. No known fix.
- A workaround is to initiate a trucking race, finish it in any position and the remaining unemployed truckers (assuming they participated in the race) may be for hire after the race. This workaround is not guaranteed to work.
- May be triggered by starting the race directly or by changing seats.
- While often considered an in-game mechanic, this is very likely a memory leak. No known workaround.
Issues fixed
