- Multiplayer Update - 27 March 2023
Due to a recent business model change for our current server hosting provider, we have unfortunately been forced to temporarily disable online multiplayer racing support in DRAG. We are actively working on a suitable multi-platform replacement solution, and we will restore online functionality once this new multiplayer implementation is complete. We do not yet have a specific time frame to announce, but we are committed to completing this work during the early access period prior to the game's upcoming official release. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience during this transition.

The demo special event track has been updated with movable containers and tyre walls too! We've completely revised the online multiplayer races You can now respawn at any time during an online race.

- Driving Physics Update v0.2.4.0 - 31 December 2020
Updated both the full game and demo! Special Event track 1 is now permanently included in the demo, so you can test all the latest changes on a slightly longer track. Physics adjustments Limited-slip differentials We added limited-slip differentials to the front and rear axles as well as a center diff. We balanced the all-wheel drive system for better handling of uneven surfaces, drift and weight transfers. removed bumpsteer from the axis geometry increased tire tread depth (grab mass) reduced contact patch size (grip compensated) lowered slide friction ratio reduced tire elasticity stiffened damper relaxation and compression slightly softened anti-roll bars on vehicle 2 reduced toe angles on vehicle 2 With all the changes we've made sure that the cars are ever so slightly faster than before, so that all the top times on the leaderboards can still be beaten.

- Update v0.2.3.0 - 10 December 2020
Changelog for DRAG up to version 0.2.3.0 Reworked wheel steering You can now use the full range of your wheel. The updated wheel steering also no longer uses speed adapt, which should make it much more predictable. Added steering linearity setting Although the default setting should be fine for most cases, you can now adjust the steering linearity to your personal preferences. Added centered / combined pedal support If the pedals are combined, they are treated as one axis (y-axis). Use this setting and check with the visualization bars if throttle and brake are assigned accordingly. Added support for dynamic physics objects You can try it out with the containers in Special Event 9. We will of course use this technology on a lot more objects in the future.

- Update v0.2.0.0 - 15 November 2020
With version 0.2.0.0 we add many new and most requested features Added resolution setting You can now directly select a common render resolution. Use the resolution scale setting below to scale down in small increments for better performance if necessary. Added super sampling setting Use this setting for the highest rendering fidelity and best overall image quality. Saving camera choice Your last camera choice is now saved, so you no longer need to switch to your favourite view at the start of a new challenge or race. Added ingame option to hide / unhide the ghost Improved ghost clearance for all camera options This solves the issue that the ghost in the hood and cockpit camera was shown much too close obstructing the view. Together with the hide / unhide option, the ghost should now be much more practical. A time-deltabar as an alternative to the ghost will come with a future update. W…
