Bug Fixes and Improvements​

Stability and Performance [All Platforms]

• Fixed a game crash when purchasing a car returns an error from the server. [1921064]
• Fixed a game crash that could occur when upgrading your car due to memory issues. [1937666]
• Improved stability when resuming the title from a suspended state [1983641]

Audio [All Platforms]

• Update 18 features the car audio updates for the 1998 Toyota Supra RZ [1654763] and 2020 Toyota GR Supra [1786443]. These fixes were originally intended to be released with Update 17, however due to an oversight, they were not included in the previous update. Both cars have received their improved sounds with Update 18.
• Update 18 also introduces updated car audio for the 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia based on community feedback. [1729130]

Rendering [All Platforms]

• For some HDR displays, the game would automatically configure its HDR Brightness value below 1,000 nits which made the highlights in the image look flat and clamped. The fix prevents the game from automatically configuring the value below 1,000 even if the display metadata reports that its peak luminance is under 1,000. [1896256]

Gameplay [All Platforms]

• 1998 Nissan R390 has been moved from the Exotic GT Classic Division to the Early Factory Racecar Division based on community feedback. [1937670]
• Fixed an issue where players could temporarily be sorted incorrectly in the pre-race menu player list in a Multi-Class Race event after changing classes. [1794707]
• Fixed throttle and lap time offsets after using Rewind. [1963547]
• Fixed an issue where certain cars experienced a delay when shifting from first to second gear during a standing start. [1621855]

Featured Multiplayer [All Platforms]

• Increased the race duration of ‘Short’ length races from 8 minutes to 10 minutes.
• Updated Event schedule timing for ‘Short’ and ‘Medium’ length races to slightly increase amount of time between races based on player feedback. [1912216]
• Fixed an issue where other players could appear incorrectly sorted in the driver list in Multiclass events after changing car groups. [1794707]

• Fixed a soft lock issue during host migration in Private Multiplayer. [1972108]
