After the release of RoadCraft on May 20, 2025, players who have been trying it out on PC have shared their views regarding how good it is. But not every player was happy with the experience. Some were encountering controller not working issues, while for some, the giant textures were a hurdle. That said, on May 28, 2025, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment released their first-ever update for RoadCraft, Patch 1.5. Here, we will discuss what this patch is all about and what it brings. So, without further ado, let’s get right into the details.
The Patch 1.5 for RoadCraft is more of a bug-fix and quality-of-life improvements patch than a content one. In this update, some major issues were fixed, including the infamous profanity filter that kicked in when you tried to name your company. Due to the filter’s aggressive nature, the developers decided to disable it after getting feedback from the players. But that’s not all. The giant textures/grass issues have also been fixed in this new patch. All you have to do is download the update and then enjoy. But wait. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Patch 1.5 update contains a lot more. Below we have shared the patch notes.
