Another game update today, we were dealing with some leaderboard issues. The baseline times for AI in career are based off the leaderboards as we don't have a "Stig" to set the fastest time for all 1200 leadeboard that cover each car class, weather, & stage combinations. We updated the times after launch, but it turns out there was a bug where scores were being uploaded to another leaderboard accidentally, so we've had to cull the top 30 and need to cull a lesser number today as well unfortunately.

There are some growing pains but now the game should be more stable and we can now focus on larger more fun updates with gameplay tweaks from your feedback, fixing more bugs and are working on better optimization too. All your feedback is very valuable and please tell us what you think of the new updates, we are supporting this game 100%!

Features
-reverted Ai times to pre-launch as there was an issue with incorrect leaderboard scores being uploaded

Improvements
-dakar truck & logging truck on automatic transmission downshifts at a higher rev limit
-tweaked the dakar truck & logging truck collider so the wheels don't clip in the ground on hard impacts
-Added haybales for a cuttable corner on the Sardinia san gavino monreale stage
-FPS counter show the allocated memory now

Fixes
-stage times don't upload to the wrong leadeboard if the stage gets out of sync
-fixed: double-clicking on the "continue" in the post-stage screen in Career would advance the stage index twice
-added missing rock collider on Norway Laupstad stage
-fixed uneven road on Japan freeroam
-fixed: If you repair, then restart on the stage afterwards, it resets your damage to a pre-repaired state.
-car is only dirtied when moving
-fixed Airborne achievement
-fixed: crossing the finish line while in the midst of an off-track reset would still register as finishing

And if you've enjoyed the game so far it would be great if you can leave a review on Steam!
