Spintires Update v1.6.2 Released

November 2, 2020 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

Plenty of fixes and improvements are included in Spintires update v1.6.2, which is now available via Steam. Which means you can now enjoy the off-road challenge of the game with less technical issues, and more focus on not getting stuck on a rock.

It should also be a bit easier to get around as the ‘mud balance’ has been tweaked to give less drag, and be less punishing for road tyres. And the weather will be better, with a reduction in how often it rains.

– UI text is now ellipsized if too big.
– Rain happens less often.

– On skid steering vehicles (ie: Sherp N) steering brake strength is now dynamically adjusted to match a target steering speed, instead of player input directly controlling brake pressure.
– Tweaks to the Night DayTimeState.
– Gamepad and Steering wheel accelerator and brake responses.
