[Update May 15] Decal Market Known Issue



[Update MAY 15] This issue has been fixed on mobile (iOS / Android) and console (Xbox, PlayStation) platforms. Please update KartRider: Drift through each store.

Mobile devices and Console devices will need to be updated manually for the issue to be resolved. Please make sure to update KartRider: Drift through the respective app stores to experience improved game play!

[Update MAY 11] This issue has been fixed on PC. We will provide an additional update when a fix for other platforms is applied. Thank you for your patience.

Hey Racers,


We would like to bring to your attention an issue that has recently been identified regarding new decals made with any image decal that was obtained prior to the May 10 (PT) maintenance. We have found that attempting to list these decals on the Decal Market may result in the game client closing.

If you currently have any of these decals in your possession, we ask that you either delete them before listing new decals to the Decal Market, or refrain from listing decals in the market until this issue is resolved.

Please rest assured that our team is working diligently to identify and resolve this issue as quickly as possible, in order to provide you with the best possible gaming experience. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

 
Thank you, 
KartRider: Drift Team
