Critical Fixes

• Fixed a game crash caused by passengers re-entering the bus after being thrown out.
• Fixed the game freezing on a PS5 host after a few minutes of multiplayer gameplay.
• Fixed issues caused by Daylight Saving Time that made AI bus drivers wait at bus stops so their schedule would match the current time.

Quality of Life Improvements

• Added a connection quality warning that notifies a client when their connection is affecting gameplay.

Multiplayer

• Fixed the client being unable to begin a trip from the bus depot.
• Fixed clients being kicked out of multiplayer sessions on join, and a black screen with no functionality when teleporting to a bus.
• Fixed the GPS not plotting a route for the client when starting an Extra Trip from a bus depot.

Traffic AI

• Further fixes for junctions in Fishermen's Wharf, New Harbour, Iron District, Peace District and Worker's Town.
• Level design fixes: unserviceable Crude Oil Tanks stops, stop highlights at Refining Hub A and Lighthouse Road A, and traffic AI in Lake Valley.

Gameplay / UI

• Added contextual Bus Control Hints for ending a service at the bus depot.
• Fixed the player getting stuck in the seat in the Alexander Dennis Enviro500, and NPC and player heads clipping through the roof in various models.
• Character Creation: removed white row outlines, keeping only category separators.
• Fixed the line name overlapping the line rating in the Employees tab.
• Fixed the controller vibrating when driving over a crossing.
• Fixed passengers crouching while sitting.
• Fixed the names of new customization presets not being changeable.
• Removed conflicting keybinds from the bus showcase, which stopped the shortcut menu opening with a gamepad on Alternative bindings.
• Fixed vibration/force feedback missing from the Shortcut menu when cycling fast through the ignition options.
• Changing the main event frequency option in World & Company Settings now changes all related options as well.
• Fixed two NPCs being able to sit on the same seat.
• GPS fixes: it no longer tells the player to turn around instead of offering alternative routes, now directs the player forward to a stop behind them, and no longer redirects them in the opposite direction.

Vehicle / Art

• AC and heating now turn off when the bus is powered off.

• Fixes to minor visual and collision issues in the game world.
• Fixed the ticket computer collider on the Alexander Dennis Enviro 500, which required clicking a specific spot to buy an A+RUL ticket.
• Fixed the daytime running light looking incorrect on the Solaris Urbino.
• Fixed NPC drivers with floating hair, caused by scale being wrongly forwarded from the bus to the driver's skeletal mesh bones.
• Fixed an FPS dip at the Terrace Drive A station in High Town by bringing resolution quality (used when dynamic resolution is off) to sane levels.

Audio

• Ensured that stop request sounds play correctly in all buses.
• General improvements to bus sounds and the sound system overall
