Transport Fever 2

 
The final update for Transport Fever 2 is on its wayMar 14, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsIt has already been one year since Transport Fever 2 got released on consoles. Time has flown by and we are overwhelmed by the positive response from the community, which has continued to grow on all platforms in recent months. As we are always listening to our players' feedback, we are excited to release several improvements as part of the last game update in the second half of the year that many of you have been waiting for. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948180/4734c7646551602be745c60c15d81caf7900ac80.jpg Today we want to give you a glimpse of two usability improvements: One of the new features is the implementation of better snapping options for road construction. This will make the placement of right angles and 45° junctions much easier and more intuitive. Another highlight is the ability to subsequently replace bridges and tunnels that have already been built without having to manually demolish them first. This not only saves time, but also makes it easier to adapt your infrastructure more flexibly to the technical innovations that will become available in the game over time. The central element of this final update will be the announced cross-platform mod support for PS5, Xbox Series and all PC versions. We have already cleared many technical hurdles and are now in the middle of implementing this long-awaited feature. We look forward to giving many more players easy access to the content you've created for Transport Fever 2. Together we have come a long way and we look forward to continuing the journey with you. Thank you for being part of the Transport Fever community! Happy Holidays and a great 2024 from the Transport Fever 2 FamilyDec 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsAs this year draws to a close, we are settling down a little and looking back on an eventful year with many highlights: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948180/b73af15b2085e9565b9473ead558a808dc5a80c9.png We started this year by releasing the Console Edition and a free update for everyone. At the same time, the Deluxe Upgrade, the first expansion for Transport Fever 2, was released. From what we have read and heard, you seem to have just as much fun playing with the additional content as we had creating it. In the summer, we had a second highlight, which was entirely thanks to you: Transport Fever 2 now has more than one million players across the globe! This is a significant achievement for us, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support and enthusiasm. Making games is great, but making games for a community like ours makes it even more fulfilling. Besides this great news, Urban Games also celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. Neither of both would have been possible without you! As already announced in our last post, this was not the last year of Transport Fever 2. We will release one more game update next year. More information about this will follow during the next few months. The entire team at Urban Games wishes you beautiful and healthy holidays and a happy new year! Happy anniversary Transport Fever 2!Dec 11, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsExactly 4 years ago, Transport Fever 2 was released for PC.

We plan to combine this with various other improvements in a major game update for PC and console platforms scheduled for the second half of 2024. Transparency is important to us: the introduction of cross-platform content is a complex undertaking that can present unforeseen challenges. We are optimistic and committed to delivering the best possible experience for you. Today, we can already assure you that the well-used Steam Workshop for Transport Fever 2 will be unaffected by these developments. In the meantime, you can expect more minor maintenance fixes to enhance your current gaming experience, with the first maintenance update already going to beta in December. Beyond routine maintenance, the mentioned game update in the second half of 2024 marks what we anticipate to be the concluding major update for Transport Fever 2. With this update, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the community for your ongoing interest and dedication. Following this final milestone for Transport Fever 2, we have something new and great in the pipeline. It is still far too early, but we are already looking forward to telling you more about it.

Gameplay video shows controller support in actionFeb 22, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsWe are thrilled to release a new gameplay video featuring the soon-to-be-available controller support. Together with Nihat Isik, developer at Urban Games, a transport empire is built on a tropical island and the most important game mechanics are explained. In the video, supply chains emerge to deliver cargo to the cities and a local transport network enables residents to travel across the island. For the first time, the new user interface optimized for controllers is used, which makes it possible to play Transport Fever 2 while sitting on the couch and relaxing on a large screen. While the video is recorded with the Console Edition, the new interface and controller support will be available to PC players and Steam Deck users with the upcoming game update too. The game update for PC will be released on 9 March 2023. Thank you very much for the interest in the game and best regards from the entire Urban Games team.The highlights of the upcoming update at a glanceFeb 16, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsA multitude of enhancements awaits you on March 9th in the upcoming game update. These have already been presented on the Transport Fever 2 social media channels in recent weeks. For all those who would like to see the improvements at a glance, there is a summary in this news. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948180/adc869b8476a3f070d5b9633728cbcdeadf571b5.jpg Selecting the appropriate vehicles for building your transport empire is a crucial aspect of Transport Fever 2. It is the realistic representation of the vehicles in the game world that really makes it possible to immerse oneself in this beautiful game world. That is why an impressive total of 85 vehicles have been completely redesigned as part of the upcoming free game update. To improve the overall appearance, even more attention was paid to exact proportions when reworking the vehicles. For some of the vehicles, other originals and new paint schemes were used. The new vehicle models feature enhanced textures that fit much better into the look of the game. We are pleased to fulfill a wish of many players with better rendering of glass and eliminate the unwanted transparency rendering artifacts known as x-ray vision. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948180/58282618578435118cb48654a39efd0c0eb67994.png To provide the best possible gaming experience, not only vehicles have been improved. A good balance between the different hardware components is key to make it work. The GPU-based terrain tesselation reduces the load on CPU and memory consumption. Less memory is also needed due to texture streaming, which allows clearing textures of models that are not in view anymore and constantly loading textures at the highest affordable resolution. Furthermore, the size of save games has been significantly reduced. Together with the improved map generation, this leads to noticeably shorter loading times. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948180/83da4bcd466c78da6d48f63b916694b16318a4c7.png To grow the Transport Fever 2 family even further, the range of officially included localizations is extended to 13 languages as part of the game update: Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Korean will be included in Transport Fever 2. The localizations cover the whole user interface and all the written story texts of the campaign missions. There is more good news for Steam Deck users: The full controller support will not only be available for PC on March 9th, but for Steam Deck as well! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948180/f5ce09411440d0418c849e26751652881b1b0797.png Many more pictures of the new vehicle models and the differences to the old models are available on our social media channels: Facebook Instagram Twitter We look forward to sharing more details with you about the upcoming game update on 9 March in the coming week.On the way to the releaseJan 25, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsWith the announcement of the release date, we have embarked on the next stage of our journey together towards the Deluxe Edition and the free major game update for Transport Fever 2 on PC.
