It sounds like the devs might be out of the danger zone now, with their latest update noting that "Since game release day, 2 weeks ago, we were patching fixing and changing game constantly. Maybe they'll circle back round to a lick of new paint once they've got the engine purring impeccably. The interface as a whole is still more of a headache than it needs to be, with even the main menu a mess of small words and inconsistent controls, but it's bearable even if it's not as slick as a game this zen ideally needs. Clicking 'New Game' from the main menu (whether accidentally or on purpose) also no longer instantly eradicates any existing savegame, which corrects one of the more baffling interface oversights, although I'll never get those nine hours back. It now has an autosave feature, which as far as I can tell triggers after a completed repair job, so you don't stand to lose anything like so much time in the event of a crash. The feel is of a far more stable game, but I guess it's stable until it isn't.įar more importantly, it's added some major quality of life improvements in terms of savgames. More importantly, the damn thing hasn't crashed on me once since I went back to it, although I should say that I'm yet to put the same number of hours into it that I did first and second time around. But! It does indeed now seem to be in the sort of state I'd have expected it to be in at launch.įor starters, the frame rate is now a mostly solid 60 even maxed-out, as opposed to ranging wildly all over the place no matter how low I set it, as was the case previously. I can't be unequivocal here - just because I haven't encountered any showstopping issues in the most recent builds doesn't mean no-one has, and the fact that the devs are still patching it even now suggests there's still a few rusty bits under the hood. The issue at stake is whether you're still risking losing hours of progress to a crash, with its lousy save system and inconsiderate UI still offering no protection against such things.

I won't do a full revisit, because the broad thrust of my feelings about the game - that, despite superficially ultra-technical subject matter, it's a deeply relaxing and rewarding game for anyone, car enthusiast or no - remain unchanged. Since that time, the developers have released approximately eight million and twelve patches (not to mention a feverish mea culpa for the game's launch woes), so it's time to take it back to the shop and see if it's safe to drive by now. I spent a few pleasant but troubled days with Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 just after launch, reporting that it was a great game saddled with significant technical and interface issues.
