Patch 1.8.0
Ossu!
[p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Before we go into patch details, we would like to once again thank the community members, who took the time out of their day, launched our test branch and provided feedback to our work in progress features. Your opinions helped immensely in shaping today’s update and we are very thankful for your support.[/p][p][/p][p]Based on the tests, the livery system addition to the Paint Shop has been postponed for now as we continue to fix the current issues with it, whilst expanding this feature with your suggestions in mind. Our goal right now is to bring it to you as soon as we can. [/p][p][/p][p]The second feature we were testing proved to be working flawlessly, so we’re extremely happy to announce that with today’s patch restarting an event will literally take only a couple of seconds to load up. That’s right, no longer will you have to wait for twenty seconds or longer to repeat a mission.[/p][p][/p][p]The second headliner today is the addition of the next Villain Side Story Campaign. Let’s look at details:[/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes[/h2][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]Shortened loading times - event soft restarts[/h3][p]The loading times for repeating a mission (whether you lost it or just hit that restart button in the pause menu) have been drastically reduced. Re-loading an event should take no longer than just a couple of seconds now. [/p][p]Note that loading the event for the first time will still need to load up all of the assets and it has not been influenced by this change.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Villain Side Story Campaign - Honey Badger[/h3][p]Lt. Boswell’s origins story is now available. You will play through six new missions, consisting of time attack challenges and a drag tournament, to win the Honey Badger’s unique and heavily tuned muscle car. [/p][p]Boswell’s ride is a true drag racing beast that will be able to fight with any car on a straight road, while also being a decent grip racer overall. [/p][p]As always, you will be able to start the campaign by finding the Honey Badger marker in the open world and interacting with it. Completing the first mission will unlock the second and so forth.[/p][p][/p][h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]- [p]Fixed an issue in Challenge Mode on the Bamboo Track grip race, where players could be instantly disqualified.[/p]
