BUG FIXES

General

• A player’s Rank now correctly displays on the post-match screen

• Fixed an issue causing Orange team-specific Presets to incorrectly preload during matchmaking, causing them to appear late once the map loaded

• Fixed Boost activation occurring one frame behind input when client runs above 60 FPS

• Boost Audio and visual FX will no longer continue to play after boost is deactivated

• Fixed an issue with physics state quantization that led to cars occasionally “settling” at inconsistent suspension heights (thank you to Rocket Science for reporting this)

• Improved loading performance that was causing some players (particularly on PS4) to experience stutter in the first 5-10 seconds of matches

• Fixed players who have initiated a Forfeit Vote being unable to see the Vote to Forfeit option afterwards

• The “Keyboard Input Acceleration Time” option is once again available in the Options – Controls menu.

• Fixed the “Favorite” button sometimes disappearing in the Garage Car Body tab

• Fixed issues with car preview sometimes breaking when quickly switching garage tabs

• [Switch] Improved scrolling performance when viewing items in the Garage

• Tread glow on ‘Season 3 – Star’ Wheels has been restored

• FX on Draco Wheels have been restored

KNOWN ISSUES

[NOTE: If you go down a division after a win in a Ranked match, this is not a bug. The division down is attached to a previous loss that was reported to our database late. You are still receiving appropriate credit for the win.]
