### COMMUNITY UPDATES

* **Bus Stop System:**
*After a lot of community complaints about the current car system in the game we think we finally have a proper side solution for the issues related to the car system. Cars have always been unstable causing people to crash / lose their cars and were never a good feature from the beginning.*
*Unfortunately we can not simply remove car﻿s entirely from the game since cars are actually very useful for players to go from location to location. We have looked at this and came to realize that the only main reason cars are used is for players to go from location A to location B.*
*Now, we have came up with another idea: A bus system. This system will basicly allow players to fast travel through the maps for GD (Game Dollars). This system will be more efficient and faster than using cars and it will also be way cheaper. Here's how the system﻿ will work﻿:﻿*+ Travelling through the map can only be done through marked bus stops. Players have to go here to be able to travel to a different location on the map.
+ The bus stop travel system is available on Colorado V2, Colorado V1 & Caliwood.
+ For travelling through the map GD will be charged from the player's account. Prices will be based on distance but will be relatively cheap.
+ Deluxe account subscriptions can travel for 50% of the GD price, extreme subscriptions can travel entirely free.

*You can kind of see t﻿his feature as a side s﻿olution for the ca﻿r ﻿﻿s﻿ystem. However, since the new bus stop system will be much more efficient and cheap we hope players will stop using cars and use t﻿he bus stop s﻿yste﻿m.*
*The video about that feature will be added at the end of the patch notes.*

* **The Fast-Lo﻿ad Rewor﻿k:**
*Fast-Load has been reworked and optimized in this patch. Fast-load loads models around you in a "smoother way". They load slower to prevent the game from freezing. So instead of freezing for 1-2 seconds many times while entering a big city, you will get slighly lower fps for maybe 5 seconds.*+ Added a UI indicator so you know if fast-load is loading buildings or not.
