Update 1.0.8 — Car Paint and Improvements

🎨 Car paint

  • Where to paint: in the Garage, click your car to open paint customization.
  • How to earn points: each car has its own mileage, which goes up as it races. Every mileage level gives the car 1 paint point. Mileage starts counting from this update.
  • Unlocking colors: pick one of the 11 colors in the palette, spend 1 point to unlock it and apply it. The car's original color is already unlocked.
  • Permanent colors: once unlocked, a color stays available for that car, and you can switch between your unlocked colors whenever you like.
  • In races: the new color kicks in from the next race, and other players see your paint job too.
  • Level track: shows how far you are from the next point.
  • Mascot alert: your mascot lets you know when the equipped car has a paint point to spend.

✨ Refreshed look

  • Inventory, Steam Inventory and Collection now use rarity cards, making it easier to spot each item at a glance.
  • Buttons, frames and tooltips have been redesigned and look cleaner.

🔧 Part tooltips

  • Comparison with the equipped part: each attribute has a bar, with gains in green and losses in red.
  • Upgrade: a line shows how much the part's upgrade adds to each attribute.
  • Collection: the Collection Piece badge appears when the part fills an empty slot in a set, along with the set progress (e.g. 1/4).
  • Steam: Steam items show the Tradable on Steam badge.

🐾 Mascots

  • The mascots screen now has two scrollable columns.
  • Each mascot's card shows which attribute it boosts.
  • The starter mascot now appears alongside the others in the collection.

🌍 Translations

  • General translation improvements.
  • In Asian languages, quantities in lists are now aligned with the item name.

🛠️ Fixes

  • Fixed cut-off text on Windows with display scaling at 100%. This affected tooltips, mascot cards and TrackCards.
  • Rain, fog and other weather effects no longer freeze during the championship intro.
  • The game no longer stops your computer from turning off the display when idle.

🏁 Let's hit the track! More updates are rolling in over the next few days, with new features and functions, just like you're used to. We're keeping the pedal to the metal! 🏎️💨
