Optimised all routes for Lydden Hill so it chugs less
Graphical Improvements to all stages on the Holjes Circuit as well as the routes for Powys, Wales and Pikes Peak
Those excessive gravel surface sounds have been toned down – which should also help with stuttering audio
Fixed an issue where the Community delta time splits were being incorrectly shown in the Pant Mawr stage from Wales
Light pods no longer show on day routes when using the bonnet / interior cameras on certain vehicles
Direct Input slider axis enumeration has been fixed which is a fancy way of saying this should solve issues with pedal bindings, most frequently the clutch
Rallycross friend leaderboards now only show the players fastest lap time
Abandoning a Rallycross Daily Event now uploads the stage maximum, rather than the time the game was paused… oops
Jump starting certain Rallycross tracks no longer results in the players lap counter refusing to increment when passing the start/finish line

Community delta times are now displayed correctly in the standings before the event begins
The Community delta times that were invalid on some tracks have now been reset
Crossing a reset line will now always result in you receiving a penalty

Joker laps will now register even when exiting the joker sector backwards… Because sometimes it’s fun to show off
The AI will now take the Joker lap in a Rallycross event less than 4 laps
The AI should no longer accidently take a Joker lap when switching paths after losing control.
Did you ever see that bug where the Rallycross AI would drive into a barrier, reverse, then drive into again? It was pretty funny but we thought we better fix it
Used your data to improve our AI across all Rallycross routes. They’ll now put up much more of a challenge
