  • The WestPlay tablet has a new look: a slim aluminium tablet with a black glass front, at a real tablet's size (24.8 x 17.9 cm), WestPlay laid out in the shape of its screen. The tablet's model is Art_bor's (Sketchfab, CC BY 4.0).
  • Hanging, the tablet is held by a clamp over its top edge, on a short, sturdy arm: the long thin bar it hung from is gone.
  • On the tablet, WestPlay uses more of the screen: the margin round it is smaller, as the tablet shows all of WestPlay's picture.
  • Every panel's corners are rounded the same, as the Dashboard's widgets are: the sidebar, the map, the apps' windows and the keyboard each had their own.
  • The truck's screen no longer freezes on its last picture after the game runs again from its menu: in some players' games, WestPlay stopped seeing the screen being drawn and left it as it was until the next pause.
  • YouTube's videos fill the player: a video could play small in its top left corner, most often the next one after the first.
  • Maps takes less of your graphics card and processor, most of all in towns with their 3D buildings: it was drawn as often as your monitor refreshes (144 times a second or more on some), though the game shows at most 60 of WestPlay's frames. It's drawn at most 60 times a second now.
  • In a truck with the tablet, the companion says WestPlay is on the truck's screen: it kept saying it was waiting for the cab, and its switch for WestPlay's screen stayed greyed out.
  • The companion's window holds still while it isn't in front: its floating screen kept drawing behind the game, taking up to two processor threads the game could use. It goes on the moment you click it.
  • The cursor on WestPlay's screen follows the mouse at once: it was drawn by the screen itself and showed three or four frames late, more at a low frame rate. WestPlay now draws it straight into the frame the game shows, the same dot as before, in a few milliseconds.
  • WestPlay's log says more when its screen is slow: every 10 seconds instead of every minute, the screen's own frame rate beside the frames Windows delivers, the companion window's share of the processor, and the game's window (fullscreen, borderless or a window, and when it's in the background).
  • The companion says when YMN One, another CarPlay mod, is installed in the game: it takes over the truck's GPS screen, so WestPlay can't show there, and the screen turns pink while YMN One isn't running. It says which file to delete.
  • YouTube videos no longer stop playing altogether with "This content isn't available, try again later": the way WestPlay asks for a video without the ad's wait sometimes got that answer, and was kept for every video after it. That way is now dropped for the video asked again YouTube's own way, so it plays.
  • YouTube and YouTube Music work in the EU, the UK and Switzerland: YouTube's "Before you continue to YouTube" cookie page stood in for them, with no one to answer it. WestPlay answers it for you as Reject all does.
  • YouTube plays videos it shows a warning before ("this video may contain disturbing images"), such as some songs' videos: WestPlay's player stayed on the warning, which had no one to press continue.
  • Spotify shows all your Liked Songs, and every song of a long playlist or album: the list stopped at the first 50 (Liked Songs and albums) or 100 (playlists). The rest now load as you scroll down, as in Spotify.
