Thanks!

The Spintires: MudRunner team.

Yes! [Access it here]{LINK REMOVED}.

Does Spintires: MudRunner require an online connection?

Do you support multiplayer saves?

Yes, Spintires: MudRunner supports multiplayer saves.

Will there be cross-platform play?

At this time, we don't plan to support cross-platform play.

What is real-time mud?

Muddy terrain, rivers, and other obstacles all realistically react to the weight and movement of your vehicle, thanks to the game's advanced physics engine. "Real-time mud" is the term we came up with to summarize all this!

Is there PC Mod support?

Yes, of course!

Are you able to change time of day?

Yes, in Casual mode you will be able to skip night at the cost of fuel.

Will Spintires: MudRunner have VR support?

This is a feature that isn't currently planned for Spintires: MudRunner

Are lights, sound and mud synced in multiplayer?

Due to technical constraints of the game engine, we don't have the ability to implement multiplayer light, sound and mud sync at this time.

Is there be a map editor?

Yes, on PC. As we will not be supporting mods on consoles, there also will not be a map editor on consoles either.

Is this a re-release of Spintires?

Spintires: MudRunner is the ultimate version of Spintires. Developed not only for PC but also for the first time for PS4 and Xbox One. It's a huge upgrade over its predecessor, as this edition comes complete with "a brand new Sandbox Map joining the original game's 5 environments, a total graphical overhaul, a new Challenge mode with 9 new dedicated maps, 13 new vehicles and other comprehensive improvements." Original Spintires players on Steam will get 50% off MudRunner as a loyalty discount up until the release of American Wilds on October 23rd.

Will there be a Nintendo Switch version?

- Yes! Spintires: MudRunner will be coming to Nintendo Switch in 2018.

Can you clarify the involvement of Pavel in Spintires: MudRunner?

Pavel Zagrebelny, the creator of the original Spintires, is back at Saber Interactive as vision holder and lead developer on Spintires: MudRunner, and therefore, is fully involved in the project.

Focus Home (we) will be the ones publishing it, so we'll be releasing it, handling future updates (along with the dev team) and distributing it, too.

What will be the recommended settings/specs?

The recommended settings for Spintires: MudRunner should be very similar to the original game, but may change as we get closer to release.

Do you plan to support Mac and Linux?

- At this time, we don't plan to support Mac and Linux with Spintires: MudRunner.

Will there be vehicle customisation?

- No. This means that you won't be able to add decals, change vehicle colours, or add rim spinners. Rest assured that you will be able to modify vehicles with log bays, trailers, and other modifications as you could in the original Spintires.

How will deliveries be handled?

Deliveries will work the same way that they always have.

What framerate will Spintires: MudRunner run at?

Locked to 30fps on consoles, locked to 60fps on PC.

Will there be tracked vehicles?

This is not currently planned.

Will you support dedicated servers?

This is not currently planned.

don't know why everyone is asking... it'S clearly stated on the store page:

© 2017 MudRunner: a Spintires game. Developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive. Spintires is a registered trademark of Oovee™ Ltd © 2017 Oovee™ Ltd. MudRunner is a trademark of Saber Interactive Inc. All rights reserved.

They kept the Spintires name to let everyone knows how things have moved since then but at the same time introduced the new trademark MudRunner to become known and grow in popularity. If there is a sequel, they will simply name it MudRunner 2 and drop the Spintires name entirely. If Oovee would still own the rights to the code that Pavel developed, this game would not even exist as they would not have allowed the switch for another publisher, that's for sure. They must have come to an agreement, it's easy to figure out. Oovee will still pump cash for this game on the trademark but after that, it's game done. Some here are paranoid about reading the Oovee name on the product, but they're not as much involved anymore as some might think, I'm quite sure on this, so calm down, relax everyone... this game will be pure gold!!

Can you blame us for being overly cautious?

Hey I followed the Spintires and now this new game here.
I hope my question is not dumb, cause I never played, but how you handle loads and stuff like this?
Is this game based to simulate offroad driving or also a little bit the Transportation themselfe?
Am I able to load and unload cargo and get payed for?
How I handle the trucks in game? Do I Need to buy them with in game Money or just select and drive?
Cheers

@Mr_Jolly: Whatever Oovee promised and didn't deliver, Focus Home/Saber Interactive are now set to do. There's already a MP save mod for the old Spintires, so why would you not trust MudRunner to have it? But hey, instead of spewing hate, you could just wait until it comes out before you buy.

Pavel Zagrebelny has never abandoned Spintires; he severed ties with Oovee, and MudRunner is the result of that precisely because he didn't. Also, I'm certain that Oovee kept most of your money (one of the reasons he left there).

Loads can either load automatically (drive to the lumberyard, click "load") or by operating a crane on other logging areas. The game is not an ETS2-type economic simulation. You load and unload cargo, you need to bring enough lumber to the target area to "win" the map. Trucks are "select and drive".

The focus of Spintires is on the offroad driving, with its unequaled ground simulation.

Hi all,

I noticed that there were questions about vehicle customisation. I have edited the original post for clarity, but you will be able to modify your vehicles, as you were able to in the original Spintires.
What you won't be able to do is add decals, change vehicle colours, or add rim spinners. That kind of customisation.
