The PC version of Bus Simulator 21 has a new update. This patch brings additional fixes to save issues that plagued the game for some time now. It also includes some performance improvements and an updated input library that aims to fix problems with using third-party steering wheels.
Critical Improvements
The developers at StillAlive Studios understand that there are still some lingering game save issues in Bus Simulator 21. Update 2 for PC improves access to your saved games, especially if the system does not consider you the rightful owner.
Aside from that, some missions have their performance issues resolved, including the “Catch them all” mission which is crucial in unlocking the Pecunia District.
Those who want to play the game with others via multiplayer will be happy to know that rubber-banding has been addressed. You may still experience it, but it should be far less than before.
If you are using a third-party steering wheel, the game’s input library has been updated which likely fixes some issues that you may have encountered in the past. Furthermore, force feedback has been improved as you are now capable of fine-tuning the feedback to your liking.
