  • This setting controls which method the game uses to send your gameplay inputs to our servers. These methods are:

    • STS (Sim Time Scaling) - This allows the game server to instruct your client to very subtly speed up or slow down in order to maintain a smooth input stream.

    • CSTS (Continuous Sim Time Scaling) - A more aggressive version of STS that uses a continuous feedback loop to determine game speed.

  • Both STS and CSTS are newer strategies for latency mitigation that may be more effective for players with connectivity issues, spotty Wi-Fi, etc. than the Legacy method

  • If you experience connectivity issues during a match, you should try switching from Legacy to STS or CSTS. If you see no improvement, change back to Legacy

BUG FIXES

General

• A player’s Rank now correctly displays on the post-match screen

• Fixed an issue causing Orange team-specific Presets to incorrectly preload during matchmaking, causing them to appear late once the map loaded

• [Xbox One] Fixed a crash/performance issue

• Fixed Boost activation occurring one frame behind input when client runs above 60 FPS

• Boost Audio and visual FX will no longer continue to play after boost is deactivated

• Fixed an issue with physics state quantization that led to cars occasionally “settling” at inconsistent suspension heights (thank you to Rocket Science for reporting this)

• Improved loading performance that was causing some players (particularly on PS4) to experience stutter in the first 5-10 seconds of matches

• Fixed players who have initiated a Forfeit Vote being unable to see the Vote to Forfeit option afterwards

• The “Keyboard Input Acceleration Time” option is once again available in the Options - Controls menu.

• Fixed the “Favorite” button sometimes disappearing in the Garage Car Body tab

• Fixed issues with car preview sometimes breaking when quickly switching garage tabs

• [Switch] Improved scrolling performance when viewing items in the Garage

• Tread glow on ‘Season 3 - Star’ Wheels has been restored

• FX on Draco Wheels have been restored

KNOWN ISSUES

UPDATE: If you are experiencing join delays or freezing upon entering a match on PS4 and PS4 Pro, we recommend that you only queue for new matches from the Main Menu and not from your previous match's end match screen. This issue is one we are trying to address in our next client update.

[NOTE: If you go down a division after a win in a Ranked match, this is not a bug. The division down is attached to a previous loss that was reported to our database late. You are still receiving appropriate credit for the win.]
