The maintenance compensation will be sent out through the in-game mailbox to all Racers that logged in to the game before 9:00 AM UTC.
The mail will expire in 30 days, so make sure to claim it as soon as possible.
[Fixed] Known Issue: Intermittent Permanent Bans when Retrying in Time Attack
Hey Racers,
This issue has been fixed through a temporary maintenance on Oct 12th.
Any Racers that were banned due to this issue have been unbanned, and will receive 2,000 Lucci as a compensation for the inconvenience. The compensation will be sent to the in-game mailbox and will expire in 30 days, so make sure to claim it as soon as possible.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience, and will do our best to provide better service.
The KartRider: Drift Team -------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have verified that after the Oct 11th update, there is an issue in Time Attack where pressing Retry before crossing the Finish Line intermittently causes a permanent ban and a shutdown of the game client.
Before this issue is fixed, we strongly advise Racers to refrain from using Retry in the middle of a Time Attack match right before crossing the Finish Line during the last lap.
In addition, we have checked the data and unbanned Racers that had been banned up to this point due to this issue. We will do our best to identify the cause and fix the issue, and will inform you through this announcement if there are any updates.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

Don't let your guard down, though: Item Boxes appear in Flag Mode, just like in Item Mode, and can be used to knock flags loose from enemy racers!
Win Conditions:
The first team to 20 points, or the team with the most points when time expires, wins!
If both teams are tied when time expires, an Overtime period is played where the first team to 10 points wins.
Two Flags will appear on the track, Red and Blue. Secure your team's flag to get a bonus point!
Racers who are hit with items while holding a flag, or who crash into the environment, will drop their flag and be unable to pick it up again for 2 seconds.
Racers holding a flag will move slower than normal, making them more vulnerable to enemy racers. Keep the flag carrier protected, no matter the cost!
Kart Resets cannot be used unless stuck or out of bounds.
The towing effect cannot be applied.
Auto-Steering, Track Guidelines, Drift Assist, Drift Zones, Item Hints, and Instant Boost Hints are not available in Flag Mode.
In the final minute of the match, additional flags will appear on the track, so don't lose heart from an early deficit!
Available Items:
Can be acquired while holding a flag:
Banana
Boost
EMP Wave
Magnet
Mine
Siren
Shield
Can be acquired while not holding a flag:
Angel Armor
Boost
EMP Wave
Lightning
Magnet
Mine
Missile
Siren
Shield
UFO
Item Changes from Item Mode (Flag Mode Only):
UFO: Targets the opposing racer who has been holding the flag the longest and slows them down. Does not knock the flag loose.
Lightning: Lightning hits all Racers!
Tracks available for Flag Mode:
Stadium Beach Island
Difficulty: ★
Hidden Meadow
Difficulty: ★★
Changes to Flag Mode
Flag Mode originally appeared in Season 3, and we've made a number of changes to make it even better!
Taking a flag to the opposing team's flag zone will no longer score any points for either team, and instead return the flag to its original position.
Flags will always appear in the same location at the start of a race, but their position will change with each subsequent flag that spawns.
The interactions when colliding with a flag carrier has been changed:
A flag carrier colliding with an allied Racer will no longer drop the Flag.
A non-flag carrier colliding with an opposing flag carrier will move the flag into their possession, rather than causing the flag to drop.
When a flag carrier collides with another flag carrier, both Racers will drop their flags.
Added character animations for stealing a flag and having their flag stolen.
Added feedback when obtaining a flag:
When a flag is obtained, a notification is displayed in the HUD.
The size and transparency of a held flag has been adjusted.
Adjusted the sound effect played when a flag is obtained.
When a team reaches at least 15 points, an effect will be shown and the background music will change to warn both teams.
The number of flags that spawn during Overtime has been decreased.
The background music now changes when Overtime begins.
A Flag Mode-exclusive loading screen tip has been added.
The flag zone location guide on the HUD has been adjusted to match your team's color. [table] [tr] [th]Before[/th] [th]After[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td][/td] [td][/td] [/tr] [/table]
The Water Bomb item has been removed from Flag Mode.
If a flag drops into a flag zone, it will no longer score a point without being picked up by that zone's team.
Changes and Improvements
Time Trials
Save Location and Rewind
A new feature for Time Trials has been added to allow Racers to practice specific sections of a track.
Save Location
Save the location, speed, and driving status of your Kart when the Save Location button is pressed.
The Save Location button can also be pressed while Rewinding, stopping the Rewind at that point.
Cannot Save Location while a video is playing, or while you're being affected by an item.
Up to 1 location can be saved.
Saved Locations will be removed in the following situations:
When rewinding to a point earlier than the Saved Location.
When saving a new location.
When the saved location is at least five minutes behind the current location.
Rewind
When the Rewind button is pressed, the race will play backwards towards the start!
The Rewind will automatically pause upon reaching a Saved Location, allowing you to restart the race from that point.
Pressing the Rewind button again will continue to Rewind the race.
Cannot Rewind while a video is playing, or while you're being affected by an item.
Rewinds can be manually stopped at any point by pressing the Save Location button, which will set that point as the Saved Location and allow you to restart the race at that point.
Races can only be rewound up to 5 minutes.
The Shadow will be rewound at the same time as the Race is.
Note: Shadows from Time Trial races generated before the October 11 update may not display normally during Rewind.
Note: Certain visual and environmental effects will not be affected by the Rewind, such as lightning effects in the track's background.
Settings
(PC/Console) "Use Special Feature" key bindings have been added
Six control bindings have been added, dedicated to be used in certain systems and content.
These can be customized in the [Settings - Controls] menu.
For the new "Save and Rewind Location" feature, the Special Feature buttons control the following features:
Use Special Feature 1: Rewind
Use Special Feature 2: Save Location
Use Special Feature 3: N/A
Use Special Feature 4: N/A
Use Special Feature 5: N/A
Use Special Feature 6: Rewind Speed
Future additions will use these buttons in different manners, but for the moment only buttons 1, 2, and 6 are used.
(Mobile) Save Location & Rewind Buttons
Buttons to control the Save Location and Rewind features in Time Trials have been added.
Note: The "Disable" feature for these buttons is not supported on Mobile.
(PC/Console) Certain Default Hotkeys have changed.
Due to a change in the default hotkeys, Racers will be moved to the [Settings - Controls] screen on their first login after the update, and the following hotkeys have been changed:
PC:
Voice Chat
Open Emoji Menu / Use Emoji Slot 1
Use Emoji Slot 2
Use Emoji Slot 3
Use Emoji Slot 4
Console:

Village: Breezy Park
World Tour: Gangnam Streets
Joy's Surprise Tests
Reduced the number of Racers needed to trigger Joy's Surprise Tests (2 or more Racers in a match, down from 4 or more).
The difficulty of some tests have been reduced:
(Item Mode - All) Use an attack item on a specific Racer 2 times (down from 3)
(Item Mode - All) Land an attack 5 times (down from 7)
(Item Mode - Solo) Block an attack 3 times (down from 5)
(Item Mode - Duo) Protect a teammate 4 times (down from 8)
(Item Mode - Squad) Protect a teammate 7 times (down from 10)
License Mode
The difficulty of L2 License mission "01 Time Trial 1" has been slightly decreased:
The section of Village: Breezy Park that this trial uses has been altered to make for a faster traversal.
The Time Limit for the Time Trial has been decreased to 42.753s (down from 46.153s).
The combination of these two changes results in a slightly easier mission overall.

Farewell from JL
Hello Racers!
I'm JL, the director of KartRider: Drift.
Today, I'm here to speak to you not as a director, but as a developer instead.
As a developer, I've been putting my faith into making KartRider: Drift a great game, a game that Racers will love. I've always put in my best effort to make that happen.
Obviously, we haven't satisfied every Racer. But I believe that KartRider: Drift is not lacking in power, and our developers are consistently putting in the work to improve and develop the game further. We are striving for KartRider: Drift to become a game that's widely loved by you, the Racers.
Although I should put in more work as a developer to provide our Racers with a better experience, I have realized that my personal health has taken a toll recently as I have been working nonstop.
I've nagged our other developers to make sure they stay healthy, but it turns out that I couldn't preserve my own health. I am in need of rest and time to recover. So, I plan on leaving the role of KartRider: Drift director after finishing up the Season 4 mid-season update.
Though I'm stepping down from the director role of KartRider: Drift, I will not only focus on recovering my health but I will also provide the support that I can to make KartRider: Drift a better game.
I sincerely apologize that I have not been able to fulfill all of the promises I made to you before stepping down, and I hope to see you in the future in good health.
Please continue sending your love for KartRider: Drift. Our representative, Jaewoo Seo, will be taking over as the new director starting with Season 5. Please keep showing your interest and support in KartRider: Drift as we transition.
