Patch 1.2.4 released!03.09.2012


A free patch from v1.2.3 to v1.2.4 has been released! Update now! The main new feature is the multilingual support! City Car Driving now supports: English, German and French user interface! You can select the language during the game installation. In future we plan to add more languages.



What's new in version 1.2.4:


  • Added a multilingual support: English, German and French user interface;
  • Added a new player car;
  • Fixed several bugs, which caused the game to crash;
  • Fixed several defects in level-design.

    Greatly improved artificial intelligence and traffic rules control system:

  • Traffic cars learned the U-turn at intersections;
  • Fixed "dead" traffic jams at intersections (due to the new traffic cars’ skill to move in reverse);
  • Traffic cars increasingly make way for the player with priority at intersections, properly pass one another (they less bump and less stand on the road unreasonably);
  • Quantity of cars and pedestrians now corresponds to the density of each area (also fixed large number of cars on the highway when traffic density is set to low);
  • Traffic cars acceleration and deceleration now matches the characteristics of real cars (fixed unnatural, sharp acceleration and deceleration);
  • Driving behavior of traffic cars is more satisfied to the selected type of traffic (calm, aggressive, etc.). This is reflected in the average speed (for example, when you select the aggressive behavior of traffic cars, they drive much faster in the left lane of the highway);
  • Traffic cars like to drive on the right side of the road (there’re more of them in right lanes of the road), and the traffic cars speed on left lanes of the road became much faster);
  • Traffic cars ceased to stop immediately, when an obstacle appears in front of them;
  • Traffic cars ceased to drive through intersections at red lights;
  • Reduced the number of traffic rules violations on roundabouts caused by traffic cars (for example, they ceased to turn left from the right lane).

    Improved the behavior of traffic cars on roundabouts:

  • Traffic cars increasingly make way for the player with priority on roundabouts;
  • Traffic cars less stand on the road unreasonably;
  • Fixed abnormally short lane changings (perpendicular to the lane) of traffic cars on roundabouts;
  • Now traffic cars switch on the turn signal on roundabouts according to following recommendations:

    - If the traffic car drives off the roundabout in the first ramp: it drives in the roundabout and drives along the roundabout with the right turn signal;
    - If the traffic car needs to drive for about half of the roundabout: it drives in the roundabout and drives along the roundabout with none of turn signals;
    - If the traffic car needs to drive for almost the entire roundabout: it drives in the roundabout and drives along the roundabout with the left turn signal;
    - When the traffic car drives off the roundabout: it switches on the right turn signal.
