Players can now collect a poker chip that is located near to the "Danza Macabra" event when driving the McLaren P1.
Autolog recommendations now display the car type and rating used on repeatable events.
We found a rare issue that would cause the game to sometimes hang indefinitely when selecting "swap with warehouse" in AllDrive. It no longer does this.

Players can no longer navigate through the pause menu after pressing the 'Back' prompt in the multiplayer lobby.

Tune-up shops would sometimes, on rare occasions, display ineligible button prompts. These prompts are now legible.
Brake calipers were present on Ford Mustang, Nissan Fairlady and Chevrolet C10 derelicts even though the stock build already has Drum Brakes. The stock versions now only have drum brakes.

Players are no longer prompted to "Try again later" when accessing the "Challenges" menu.
Speedlist games sometimes enter a state where they are in post-game and matchmaking players to new servers, but also still open to new players joining the decommissioning server. It no longer does this.
Spamming the A button will no longer cause the game to hang when opening shipments. Patience please, nobody likes a button masher.
Players are now reset as expected if they go out of bounds when reaching the area near the fence, to the right side of the ramp near one of the Ford Mustang Derelict parts.
Diffusers on the Nissan GT-R are now using the correct geometry.
You used to be able to change difficulty mid-mission from (for example Hard to Easy) and gain more time per checkpoint without restarting the mission in the Runner time trial "Elysium Dash". Not anymore.
If you started to play the Drag time trial "Safety Last" on Hard and then change the difficulty to Easy without restarting the mission, players would still gain more time per checkpoint than if you'd played on Hard the entire time. Also, not anymore.
The game would sometimes crash when opening the map right before starting an AllDrive: Activity. We fixed this before you even got to experience it.
Watanabe rims on the Honda S2000 no longer clip.
The Rocket Bunny spoiler is now visible on the Honda NSX Type-R

The Derelict sonar sound is now muted when the game is paused.

Adjusted several Runner events to now have balanced rewards.
Previously, if a player enters the "Tune-Up-Shop" with the Subaru Impreza WRX STI off-road build for the first time, the parts available were level 13. This is no longer the case and the cards are set to an appropriate level.

Players are now notified when another player leaves the AllDrive server.
Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes crash when players entered a Tune-up shop in AllDrive.
Entering an even number of characters on the license plate of the Plymouth Barracuda no longer causes an error. Odd bug this.

Multiple other tweaks, fixes and improvements.
