In addition, a new freely floating camera mode is now available within the settings: Head over to "Settings > Game > Camera > Looking Direction" to check it out!We've also introduced several new illegal items and drug states, leading to much more comprehensive tests. Citizens will now be picked up by a tow truck if their car gets towed: NPCs will enter it and drive off. Our team has also adjusted the light setup for police cars, ensuring much brighter and more visible lights both at day and at night.What has changed with Open Beta #2?Thanks to your feedback, we have made several adjustements in comparison to the first version from last week.
