DATABASE - 04/03/20
I have reworked the economy of the game slightly and standardised pricing in game.
This is long overdue and should make it easier for players to decide what to buy and what with.
All prices are now set to class other than Drift and TA cars which will remain as is.
Horns above class 2 are GP only.
GP prices should match RP prices better now.
10,000 RP car will cost 10 GP while the top end cars that are around 500,000 RP will cost 500 GP.
This is needed as we increased the payout quite substantially and also made boosters cheaper to buy.
Those two things have resulted in many players have a lot of in game cash that has gone unspent, granted the top end cars were left to add to the game.
Below is the updated pricing. Not that some GP prices in game are rounded up or have special pricing for parts.
Prices are subject to change without warning.

BUILD 5024 - 03/04/20
We have made some backend changes and have moved to a dedicated server (previously on multiple cloud instances).
The multiple cloud instances were okay but became a nightmare to manage 5-6 servers in total just for game services.
We are now running all game services on a single dedicated host to help with management and lower downtime during weekly restart.
Might see some performance improvements too as we are on 6 cores and 12 threads that only we use (over powered for 200-300 users but will cope with 3000-5000 players easy).
Note we still run other services on their own cloud instances as they run Linux or have other security policies.
Please report back any findings. Would like to know if the white vote box is fixed and if users who use to use VPNs to connect can now connect.
You will know this fix is working for you if you see Project-Torque.com rather than ProjectTorque.Racing in the login screen.
Known bugs:
Register button is not working.
- Fixed Kawanagawasga map ID in the game so it matches track IDs. This has fixed the white vote box issue.
- Added alternative server IP. This might fix login connection issues for some users unable to connect to login server.
- Changed to URLs instead of IP addresses. This should make IP changes easier as we just change the DNS instead. DNS TTL is only 2 mins.
- Removed login girls (will make separate post on why)

BUILD 5028 - 23/04/20 Beta Branch MULTIPLAYER DISABLED Now live on Steam
This build includes the rework of all the maps from the later builds of the game.
Broken textures should now be fixed across the board and all new tracks within the new maps now available to be enabled.
Due to reworking all the map files, there will be a small download of around 350MB that extracts to ~3GB.
Maps updated:
Expect most of these maps not to register checkpoints.
Please let us know which in the Beta discussion. https://community.projecttorque.racing/threads/beta-23-04-20.1101/#post-6663
Let us know if there are any broken maps or missing tracks in that thread too.
New tracks will be added over the coming weeks.

BUILD 5030 - 19/06/20
This update focuses on the extension of car paint options.
Read more detailed info here, https://community.projecttorque.racing/threads/more-paint-options-update-wip.1217/#post-7361
Note that this is part 1 of multiple updates around car paints. While the options are now in-game, there are no new paints for cars yet. In due course.
Shop/Garage
Switched out the Level R garage for the paint shop on the main menu for users without a clan.
Hope to add this so when users are in the shop and garage it uses this room instead of clan room.
KNOWN ISSUES
We are aware that McAfee antivirus is false flagging the game as a virus. We are working with them to resolve this issue.
More info can be found here, https://community.projecttorque.racing/threads/virus.1257/#post-7602
Some textures are not loading on some cars. We are investigating.

Beta Branch on Steam is now on its own server separate from the Public live game servers.
This is to allow for better testing of builds and database changes prior to public release.
Note that progression on this test server may not save, so expect account resets periodically or to be reverted to an earlier time.
Buying GP is only for Public servers. Working on setting things up so Beta branch auto gifts RP and GP for testing.
Don't expect Beta Branch to be online 247.
