Besides the fact that it is not possible to change controller settings ingame (embarrassing.. update pls) I'd like to know how to get rid of my cars accelerating automatically..It's reaaally damn annoying.

Who invented that absolutely random wooden loops in Lagoon? This is fail - you can't control car on them and even if you drive straight - your car turns. I'm talking about that loop that is at the end of some Lagoon map in white campaign. I liked Canyon "loop of death", really, it was hard but you can learn it. But not this one. This Lagoon loop is impossible even if you have three blocks space. More grip!

But why we can't set a custom map-thumbnail? How it's possible? I saw it often on other maps

never buy a game in the first days , never preorder, you must try it before buying.

What differences you get by changing car's material? it appears the same car...

[Florenzius]

You can do it, while testing the track if you press the "end" button on your keyboars

is the multiplayer mode just for local games?
i didnt figure out how to use it online with friends

[Hylis]

yes, it's local multiplayer. For real time online, there is only the Stunt mode that is part of secrets mode that is available.

Secret is the name of the collection of local multiplayer modes. Stuns is playable online. DoubleDriver could have been a good addition but we focused on other things since DoubleDriver has been invented more for party play, to balance level or complete solo tracks. Ranking online in DoubleDriver would also require to eventually "who is your peer" or make it generic. Of course it would have been better with, but I am just trying to explain why and where we had to put some limits. Other modes are designed for party/fun/short term sessions that are more suited for "unfair but laughing" situations that the online, which is more long term oriented is made for. Would we had to add this in addition, the call would probably have been to simply not do them, considering the constraints, including the fact that the collisions on servers are not handled for many reasons, included performance like cpu, memory and bandwidth
