Physics

• Suspension overhaul! Suspension behaviors are more consistent and predictable than ever whether you’re skimming whoops, landing jumps, or cornering. Suspension has less "pop" when bottoming-out. And it is softer and more capable of handling obstacles.
  

Customization

• New styles for Bell Moto-10 helmets are waiting for you in the Locker! Check out stock and custom variants for Carbon Fiber, Evade, and Sliced!

Physics

• Fixed an issue which would cause the vehicles tires to sink into the ground when bottoming-out. This issue would then cause other undesirable behaviors to occur like suspension popping and poor hook-up in turns. Most driving behaviors are now more accurate and consistent, especially on MX Bikes.
  
• Suspension, Chassis, and Traction tuning parts have been adjusted in response to the suspension changes. We recommend testing the suspension changes on a stock tune then adjusting the tuning to your preference.
  
• Adjusted tire friction calculations so that the vehicle behaves more consistently when applying throttle, releasing throttle, or braking.

• Greatly improved ATV suspension dampening and rebound to reduce bouncing and improve capabilities in whoops.

Gameplay

Online

• Playlist Matchmaking priorities have been adjusted to maximize the number of players on the server in order to reduce low population matches and increase competition.

[h3]Fixes & Improvements[/h3]

Physics

• Tweaked the automatic gearbox shift behavior to ensure maximum power output at each gear before shifting; affects all vehicles.
  
• The change to improve interactions with sloped terrain is restored. The accuracy of these interactions has been slightly improved, and the instances of falling through or being ejected from the terrain are significantly reduced.
  
• Instances of accidental scrubs when cornering should be significantly reduced, especially in bowl turns. This change should also prevent other unusual behaviors recently observed when scrubbing or railing berms.
  

Audio

• Occurrences of engine audio stuttering and cutting out are significantly reduced.
  
• Select between Current or Original engine sounds in the Audio settings. Current will use the new engine audio system we are continuing to develop and mature. Original uses the audio system that launched with the game. This setting only affects the engine audio system used by your vehicle, not AI nor Online opponents.
  

Gameplay

• Stunt animations play correctly and are counted correctly when holding the stunt input and performing a one-shot (non-held) aerial stunt. If a one-shot stunt (ex: Bike Flip) is performed and the input remains held after the stunt completes, the stunt will be performed again.
  

Online

• The blocks and bales swapped after the holeshot now have the correct state for all players, including for late-joining spectators.
  

UI

• Addressed small inconsistencies and bugs across the Menu UI.
  

VFX

• The color of the roost particles kicked up by the tires when driving more accurately reflect the color of the ground.
  
• Fixed a bug causing the tire dust to appear white in some lighting conditions on the 2024 Supercross tracks.
  

Other

• Fixed a bug causing crashes when transitioning between maps.
  
• Fixed potential causes of crashes when navigating the Locker and Garage.
  
• Fixed a rare crash when accessing the Playlist menu.
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• Frame rates exceeding 60 FPS may experience visual errors and inconsistent gameplay behaviors, especially when exceeding 120 FPS.
  
• Stuttering or dropout may still occur in the engine audio. These issues will continue to be resolved as they are uncovered.
  
• Shift sounds can still trigger at the incorrect revs. These issues are currently being addressed. More news to come as work progresses.
  

[h3]Fixes and Improvements[/h3]

Gameplay

• To quickly restore server stability and reduce the instances of riders falling through or being ejected from the terrain, the improvements to the tire tracking on the terrain added in Patch 3.09 have been rolled back temporarily. As soon as we can track down the underlying causes of the issue, the improvements will be reintroduced. Until then, expect interactions with berms and other sloped surfaces to behave differently than they have over the last several weeks.
  

Audio

• Fixed gear shift audio bug and reworked shift sounds in general.
  
• Added rev limiter audio to all vehicle classes.
  
• Fixed issues with power band audio; throttle now responds correctly to engine RPM.

Physics

• Automatic gearbox timing and gear selection is improved for all vehicle classes. More improvements to come in future patches.
  

Series

• AI are present when resuming a Series started before the addition of Series Settings, and the game no longer crashes when completing the race.
  
• Terrain deformation is present when resuming a Series started before the addition of Series Settings.
  

Environment

• Snow no longer appears on objects indoors.
  
• Performance and memory usage on Reflex Pack tracks is slightly improved.
  

Other

• Fixed a very rare crash when performing stunts under very specific timing.
  
• Fixed a rare crash when the vehicle is being changed.
  
• Fixed a crash when transitioning to the post-race results in an online race with especially specific timing.
  
• Fixed a crash (and potential cause of save corruption) when changing parts and gear.
  
• Fixed an extremely rare crash when generating thumbnail images for parts, gear, and vehicles.
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

Gameplay

• Frame rates exceeding 60 FPS may experience visual errors and inconsistent gameplay behaviors, especially when exceeding 120 FPS.
  

Save Data

• Gear and Vehicle customization may be reset, or Game Progress may be reset upon re-launching the game. We are actively continuing to find and fix the causes of this issue and need all the data we can get. If you think you've just encountered this issue, please IMMEDIATELY pause the game and Submit Player Report.
