[h3]Hello drifters! [/h3][p]Today we are releasing fixes for some pressing issues, as well as minor quality of life improvements.[/p][h3]Enabling automatic tire replacement by default[/h3][p]Many players did not realize that tires are now consumables and need to be replaced regularly, and having auto-replacement feature turned off by default did not help to improve their experience at all.[/p][p]To make the transition smoother, we added several sets of each type of tire to all players, and for all players who still have auto-replacement turned off in their settings, we enabled it by default at 15%.[/p][p]Also, on the tire screen, the rear tire tab should open first by default.[/p][h3]Restoring familiar settings for the arcade-like assist[/h3][p]Arcade-like assist got some restored setting:[/p]

• [p]Stabilization[/p]
• [p]Prediction[/p]

[p]You should already be familiar with these settings from DRO1.[/p][h3]Bugfixes[/h3]

• [p]Fixed black and missing smoke in the drift school[/p]
• [p]Fixed engine disappearing after exiting the test drive[/p]
• [p]Fixed all sound disappearing after changing career stages and selecting controls in the FTUE segment[/p]
• [p]Multiple fixes for objects and road markings on the Kami Road track[/p]
• [p]Removed the ability to spectate a player who has not yet loaded[/p]
• [p]Replaced sponsor banners and logos on the Fuji Speedway map[/p]
• [p]Fixed backfire and anti-lag sounds[/p]
• [p]Fixed switching to invalid player when the spectated player leaves the room[/p]

[p]Thanks for your feedback! [/p]

[h3]What's up, drivers! [/h3][p]We have been closely monitoring your feedback and appreciate your interest in the project. Over the past few days, we have read a huge amount of kind words and criticism. Thank you for every review. Together, we will make this the perfect drifting project! We have prepared some changes that many of you have been waiting for:[/p][h3]Arcade Drift Assist[/h3][p]We have added a drift assist feature, which will be familiar to players of CarX Drift Racing Online 1. The assist greatly simplifies drifting for new players and allows players of our other projects to enjoy drifting without having to relearn the controls. The assist will not affect the basic physics and control model without it. With the early access release, we will add the ability to specify the type of allowed assist when creating online rooms, and you will be able to play with others with similar assistance settings.[/p][p]Warning! Esports events will mainly be geared towards players without assists; it will not be possible to participate in them with an arcade assist.[/p][hr][/hr][h3][/h3][hr][/hr][h3]Online rooms[/h3][p]We have launched online room servers, and you can finally determine who has managed to put together the best setup in recent days.[/p][p]US/EU/Asia regions are available.

[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Bugfixes and polishing[/h3]

• [p]Default sound settings have been changed [/p]
• [p]Default steering wheel settings have been changed [/p]
• [p]Tire parameters are displayed in HUD by default[/p]
• [p]Start car for drift school has been updated[/p]
• [p]Fixed vehicle damage at the dealership[/p]
