[h3]Detailed changelog
[/h3]

• Resolved a crash in Paint Shop when modifying some specific Frames and Graphic Kits which were updated in the previous patch. The crash only impacted players who had customized vehicles using those frames and kits using stock colors prior to patch 1.19.
  
• Adjusted spatialization of MX 450F engine audio to return more output to "center channel" and reduce the side-to-side jumping most noticeable on some surround sound headphones.
  

[h3]Highlights[/h3]

• Implemented additional fixes for lap tracking when racing online. All known issues have been resolved. Work will continue to improve the the underlying systems.
• Fixed the bug causing players to get stuck in the reset "ghost" state under specific client and server conditions during online races.
• Addressed the issue causing riderless bikes during online events.
• Added "Ghosting" to paused players. In an effort to reduce opportunities for griefing during online races, paused players will be transparent and will not be able to physically interact with other players.
• Fixed the bug which reset Rider Gear colorization when using Gear Paint Shop online.
• Added options to remove Roof, Light kit, and Nerfbars on all UTVs.
• Added and improved colorization of Frames and Graphic Kits on all MX Bikes.

[h2]Detailed changelog[/h2]

• Gameplay: Added "Ghosting" to paused players to reduce griefing during online races. Paused players will be transparent and have no collision while paused. This effect will slowly dissipate once unpaused. This functions similarly to the "ghosting" after a reset.
• Gameplay: Improved holeshot tracking when online. Now only the first player to actually cross the holeshot will receive notification.
