Back on the Slopes: The New WRS2 Update Is Here!

Things have been rather quiet around Winter Resort Simulator 2 over the past few months – maybe even a bit too quiet. Many of you have been wondering whether anything was still happening with the game. That’s exactly why we’re here now – to give you an update!

The main reason for the recent silence was the release of SubwaySim 2. Finishing such a large project took a lot out of our team. So we’re even more excited to now return to Winter Resort Simulator 2 with full energy after this intense period.

While we can’t reveal too much about the future of the game just yet, we’re here to deliver something that’s been a long time coming: the official release of Update 16!

At last, the time has come: Update 16 is leaving beta and is now available for all players. Alongside various bug fixes, the update also includes several handy quality-of-life improvements – especially for our modding community.

➡️ Highlights

• Riedkopfbahn now automatically couples/garages when both sections are open and the same spacing is set.

• Riedkopfbahn now starts correctly when both sections are coupled.

• Ski huts operate independently of the time of day.

• Skiers now only despawn shortly before the area closes – meaning evening skiing is finally possible.

• MP Join Screen: Clicking on missing mods now leads to the Steam Workshop.

• A button to prepare all pistes at once.

• Simuverse rebranding.

➡️ Bugfixes & Improvements

• Minimap fix for 1440p resolution,

• Missing switch added to Hexenkessel Berg,

• Direct button to open log.txt in case of loading errors,

• AutoStop gameplay setting now only affects the player’s own vehicle,

• Winch should now tension correctly when joining in MP,

• Fuel price reduced to €1.50,

• Bug fix related to upcoming weather situations,

• Bug fix for SnowGroomer MP synchronisation.

➡️ Modding

• New API function: EntryLaneWaypoint.isNPCApproaching(),

• New API function: ModListener.onObjectDeselected,

• New map option: skiResort.skierUseTerrainOnly for DonChris Ski Hall,

• RWDefaultConstructor now supports carrierWeight for more realistic sag,

• Event RWControl:onSoundTriggered() now also includes the CarrierId.

We hope you enjoy the update! And if you thought things might quiet down now... you might be in for a surprise. ;)
