Sources & version notes
Traffic Architect tool advice here uses dated original sources. The current review distinguishes the documented Demo 1.0.7/1.0.8 changes from the full game's November 3, 2026 version 1.1.0 announcement.
Read the version before the workaround
Older road or phase reports can explain the cause of a problem without proving it remains present in your build. A developer's conditional workaround is not a universal repair. A plan for a future selection tool is not a control already available.
The current full-release announcement does not establish Demo parity. Source videos remain tied to their actual read range and identified or unknown recorded build; source gameplay is not this site's own test.
