[Update 11:10 AM UTC FEB 23] This issue was fixed during the February 23 Maintenance, thank you for your patience.

Hey Racers,

We are aware of an issue where Win Streak bonuses are being maintained when force-closing KartRider: Drift during a match. We are investigating this issue, and will update you when any changes to this are planned.

However, we have also observed some Racers intentionally exploiting this issue in order to maintain long Win Streak bonuses. This exploit, which negatively affects fair competition between Racers, is in violation of our policies, and we may take action against these players. We strongly recommend Racers avoid intentionally force-quitting KartRider: Drift in this manner.

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue causes, and are doing our best to create a fun and fair racing experience for all.

Thank you,

- The KartRider: Drift Team -

[Update 3:00 AM UTC FEB 22] In the process of reimbursing Racers who upgraded their Storm kart prior to the February 14 RISE Update, a small amount of Lucci was also sent out to some Racers (in amounts of 3, 10, and 25 Lucci). This was incorrect; however all Racers who qualified for the original reimbursement did receive the correct amount.
