"No" to your questions (once purchased on forever; no toggle yet; game needs a refresh when files are changed)
Ya get much better support on the Discord channel than here.
I can understand a little bit of sliding, and yes...you almost have to quickly drive around everywhere. The game expects so much from you early on that it's impossible to catch up meeting daily goals without speed. I just want the ride to be a bit more smoother to control..it feels like driving a tank
Love the game - the tension is amazing and...hoo boy, do NOT run out of stamina. Uh, if I had one suggestion it's PLEASE fix the driving and controls for the ATV. Driving is an absolute necessary thing so...why does the driving feel so terrible? It's hard to get anywhere and the brakes don't even work half of the time.
Yeah, these people worked hard to make this game. If you can't afford to buy it and support them then you don't play it. This is an Indie Game site and this kind of behavior isn't cool...especially because these games are incredibly inexpensive compared to mainstream titles and usually have a lot more charm and work put into them.
