Because i need to compare some JSON files if a new build has been released, to make sure that my online editing tool is "up to date", i thought it also might be interesting for others, to know what has been changed. If something changed, it is strongly recommended to let the game create a new JSON file instead of putting the old file in the new installation. Also if you just update the game. I compare 3 files: player.JSON Multiplayer.JSON CustomPluginVariables.JSON Spoiler: Changes from older Builds Update 23 February 2022 I compare Build 1124 ID 6558068 with Build 1126 ID 8157914 CustomPluginVariables.JSON: identical Multiplayer.JSON: removed: "Auto Exit":..., player.JSON: removed: "First Run":....., new: "Subscribe to all Studio397 Content":...

Very good post! I would also think that it is interesting to remark which variables in the 3 default JSON files change their default value in a substantial way. I suppose OP is using notepad++ compare plugin to find new and obsolete variables. When doing the check I think it would be easy to account for default value changes. I found a difference in multiplayer.json which seemed to affect collision detection stuff. I'll check and edit my post later because I can't remember the name.

Now that's interesting, would be nice to have, in the car setup screen for example. Question, is the actual UI capable of using Tooltips? Thank's redapg.
I had the same thought after i posted the thread. I will add the changed "default" values in the first posting, soon. And just for information: i use Total Commander for content-comparison of files.
Just as an Information: There were no Changes in the player.JSON Multiplayer.JSON CustomPluginVariables.JSON between Build 1120 ID 5150785 and Build 1121 ID 5504070
Just as an Information: There is a new Line in the player.JSON of Build 1122, ID 5848835 : "First Run":false, (without an explanatory Line)
