Truck interior has had a lot of adjustments and updates to account for interior customizations
As you can imagine this update touches on almost every element of the game and although we’ve spent a lot of time, energy and dollar testing it there’s bound to be some niggles. To that extent we’d like to remind you that if you stumble on a particularly bad bug (or you just want to send some feedback) please head over to the Raw Fury Support Desk and submit a ticket. It makes it a lot easier for us to track and resolve issues this way. Thanks!
