And it will appear in version 0.3, which is already coming soon. This was repeatedly reported by the creators themselves in the blog.
Since this will be his debut, do not overestimate expectations. In the first stage of multiplayer will have only 16 slots, but with the release of the next updates and patches their number will gradually increase, assures team Kunos. The user server portal is also expected to appear. Given that development is being carried out jointly with SIATI, the project looks promising.
The multiplayer also features Daily Racing, developed in conjunction with SimGrid. The portal will become a platform for regular online competitions and unite the community around the format of «daily races». His appearance is planned for the 4th release of Early Access.

Among the major changes can be noted optimization of graphics and user interface. In complex scenes, the loss of frames and slumping will become less noticeable, there will be more smoothness and stability. In the multi-user display, a leaderboard with real-time updates will be available, as well as the ability to enter your own settings and customizations.
In terms of physics, the following improvements will be implemented: improved behavior of cars on the tracks, damping at 1000 Hz for a more accurate response, modernized suspension model that makes turns and braking more realistic, reworked tires with new temperature regimes, smoother braking and better control of the car.
We did not forget about the sound effects. Improvements are not critical, but they have a positive effect on the game atmosphere. The motors of cars will sound more interesting and unique. Owners of steering with low torque will notice the changes in the front-end. The new tyre model forms a cleaner and more predictable response, and thanks to the built-in widget you can change the feedback parameters directly during the race.
