OI, SPEED FREEKS!

We're just dropped a hotfix for various things below, including some stuff for Alternate Weapons which will be playable again this weekend. Be sure to jump in for some new kinds of krumpin'!

• Fixed issue with player progression needing a client restart to be shown properly in the menu
  
• Fixed issue with Steam Deck / Linux players no longer being able to play because of Easy Anti-Cheat being a right git. If you still get kicked to the menu and see an error pop up, just matchmake again and things should work fine after that.
  
• Reverted change to status bar text on HUD using red outline which apparently made some players' eyes bleed
  
• Fixed issue with Kustom Boosta-Blasta and Megatrakk Scrapjet getting speed loss
  
• Fixed bots using alt weapons that weren't synced properly.
  
• Fixed performance issue with the kill kam where it was tanking framerate when loading
  
• Fixed/updated game mode text for Deff Rally to reflect racing changes made in last patch
  
• Reduced size of central game mode HUD element to reduce clutter. More room ta see da krumpin'!
  
• Updated Looted Wagon crosshair so it reflects cooldown of the Kannon. This is a test to see how players like it (you will). If they do, we'll apply the same system to other vehicles
  
• Grot bomm now has a big flare on it so it's easier to see coming and increased sound distance. Reduced it's max duration from 13 sec to 10, which also fixed a bug with VFX disappearing
  
• Kustom Boosta-Blasta alternate weapon fire rate set to 0.6 (from 1.2), damage set to 33 (from 22), splash radius set to 12 (from 10). This weapon will be playable this coming weekend!
  
• Updated popup message text when getting kicked to the menu because of Easy Anti-Cheat issues
  
• Made the Grot Mega Tank rokkit knockback consistently pop enemies up instead of randomly spin them out
  
• Returns Shokkjump Dragsta lock on crosshair

Oi Speed Freeks,

Firstly, we want to give you our greenest thanks to you gits for playing Speed Freeks during its Early Access phase. Since the launch in August, da Mek Boyz have nabbed and utilized your feedback to make a ton of fixes and quality of life improvements, plus changes to game modes, maps and vehicles. This has led to a really solid foundation for the game, and it’s been truly humbling to see all of your positive comments and hear about all the fun players are having.

This week Early Access Update #4 landed which continues to grow and evolve the game into something we hope you’ll enjoy coming back to for a long time. This patch greatly improves Deff Rally mode, adding more racing and dynamic combat encounters, plus adds alternate weapons/abilities for some vehicles as a limited time mode, creating armament variety for each class. It also brings the usual improvements we’ve been doing since launch in terms of bug fixes and quality of life stuff for the game. If you’ve not grabbed it yet, get on it!
We want your feedback!

Closing out the end of 2024 and looking to the future, we want to hear from our valued community as we continue to roar through the grimdark wasteland together. This new survey will help us better understand what is important to you gits, with the results directly influencing our ongoing development of the game. So please give it a shot below!

In terms of the next update, rest assured that we are hard at work developing new features and improvements, including a more traditional Combat Racing game mode prototype - which we want to get into your hands to start playing as soon as possible. As usual, we’re going to develop this feature alongside your feedback, and especially in this case, where it will become a permanent mode for the game in the future.

Further on from that next patch, we’re speeding towards the full launch of this game out of early access and into version 1.0. We’ve got some really exciting things coming with that version and will be sharing some info about it in the new year. We can’t say much yet, but there will be a lot to look forward to in 2025 and beyond, so keep yer enginez burnin’ n’ yer dakka ready!

Our ultimate goal is to make Speed Freeks one of the greatest combat racing games of all time, and as we solidify the base game towards it’s full release, we’re confident it will be a rich and rewarding experience for Warhammer 40,000 Ork fans and general vehicular combat fans alike.

Before we forget, here’s a bit of a sneak peek showing a new map coming your way next year called Da Dust Up! This map starts in an Ork fortress up on a big hill, then speeds down into the valley for some intense racin’ and fightin’. We’ll drop more info about this map and others as we get closer to their release.

Finally, a proppa big thanks again to all you’z gits for being a part of this important development period called Early Access. You’ve had, and will continue to have, a substantial impact on the game as a whole. As much as it can be difficult to have the game live during this time, we are truly thankful to have you on this journey with us and encourage you to keep helping us through this fun and experimental phase of game development.

It really motivates us to have such dedicated and crazed fans of the game already and also gives us confidence of where this game can go in the future.

As always, feel free to drop your feedback and suggestions in the comments or the usual social spaces linked below. If there’s anything you think really needs fixing or improving, or if you have a feature suggestion that you think will have a big impact on the game, we’re happy to hear about it.
On behalf of Caged Element and PLAION, we’z shoutin’ a big WAAAGH! Thanks for joinin’ da Kult of Speed in Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks!
