Online
For the launch period we temporarily deactivated the additional modifiers that could be applied to races when playing Screamer’s Mixtape (like Instant Overdrive, Power Shift, and others). The modifiers are still available to use in private lobbies without limitations. We’ll evaluate re-activating them at a later date.
Fixed a bug were successfully Striking Aisha was not rewarding Sync to the player performing the strike
General
Fixed the Hunter achievement not triggering unless the objective was completed under 30 seconds even if the achievement doesn’t have any time requirement
Fixed the Lavinia’s Master and Gregor’s Mastery achievement having their icons inverted
Fixed a rare bug that caused some pieces to detach from the cars during races even if said pieces didn’t exist. These pieces had collisions and could interfere with other cars behaviors, causing instability or random explosion during races
Fixed subtitles appearing slightly off timing during some cutscenes in all languages
