Developer snapshot 2026-07-22

Preview snapshot for players who want the newest features before the next stable release. Expect rough edges; your save files stay compatible whenever possible, but back them up first.

Changes since the previous snapshot

Added

• The game can now tell you where its log file is. Settings has a new Problem reports category, and Where the game log is saved reads out the full path and shows it in the window. The game has always kept a log of the session, including everything it said out loud, but nothing ever pointed you at it. Attaching it to a bug report shows exactly what you heard. The previous session is kept beside it, so restarting the game to check something does not lose it, and both files stay on your computer.

Changed

• The drivers board now checks in a little less often. With online presence on, the game reports you every two and a half minutes instead of every minute, and the board waits six minutes before it calls a driver gone. You still appear the moment you go on duty, and going off duty, pulling over, or starting a new leg still reaches the board within seconds; it is only the quiet keep-alive that slowed down. A driver who closes the game may sit on the board a few minutes longer than before.

Fixed

• Automatic cruise now leaves enough speed in hand for an exit. After you signal for an exit, cruise aims for 40 miles per hour instead of balancing on the 45-mile-per-hour ramp limit. It now stays safely under that limit on a downhill approach instead of creeping up to 46 and missing the exit.
• Distances and speeds no longer say "1 miles". Anything that comes out to exactly one is now read as "1 mile" or "1 kilometer", on map points, stop distances, speed readouts, and everywhere else the game speaks a measurement.
• The Map screen now names the cities on your route. Its first line read the internal data names aloud, so a run down the east coast opened with "new underscore york underscore n y underscore u s" and kept going for every city on the route. It now says "New York to Philadelphia to Washington", the same way the delivery summary and the dispatch board already did.
• Driving through a city no longer announces the same truck stop twice. A city's stops were counted once for the road coming in and once for the road going out, so passing through called out a single Pilot or Love's twice, two miles apart, as though they were two places. On a Chicago to Los Angeles run that was eight doubled stops. Each facility is now listed once, keeping whichever exit number was recorded for it.
