This update is heavily focused around physics
A lot of the work has been about making vehicle interactions feel more believable and less unpredictable. AI should behave more consistently when colliding with you in the Takedown camera, traffic are less likely to suddenly launch itself across the map at warp speed, and we’ve improved some impacts that could produce odd reactions or instant takedowns from very minor contact. There's still more work to do here, but it should feel a lot more solid
There’s also a good number of general fixes and improvements as well, including reduced shader stalling, the much requested 'finish times on race results in all circumstances', audio muting removed in VOIP, UI clean-up and a number of crash fixes.
Full list below:
General
Added finish times onto race results screens regardless of whether you beat your best time
Fixed audio muting in online games when someone uses Voice Chat
Fixed crashes caused by swapping events on the map if you remix a public event while your vehicle is also in the trigger
Remapped the Rate button to prevent accidental ratings when swapping events
Fixed incorrect reporting of "Other Stats"
Optimised shaders to help reduce stalling
Added warning not to remap arrow keys
Removed "Experimental" label from LiveMix buildings
Fixed broken HLODs on Lanois Bridge and Observation Towers
Physics / AI
Reduced glitching when AI hit the player car during takedown camera
Fixed AI getting shot forwards when grazing the side of your vehicle
Fixed a bug where AI vehicles could drive inside one another (although we’ve found another version of this when they respawn in Road Rage, so that’s next on the list)
Fixed an issue where traffic could fly around at extreme speeds or move laterally across the road
Made AI slightly tougher against walls and each other so the slightest touch doesn’t immediately result in a crash/takedown
Have fun!

*New* Fixes for Online Crashes and Disconnects (Update 17!)

Thanks to our Discord members we discovered there were some issues with online connectivity that had got much worse recently - so we have been investigating that.
A reminder what's in this Patch:
Waiting longer before a challenge starts, ensuring all players have received the data (note you will therefore notice a longer load if the challenge is large or players have low bandwidth/high latency)
Fixing an issue where a default engine cap meant large challenges were not being broadcast to players
Displaying challenge size as a percentage in the map popup, so players can see when they are near or over the limit
Preventing hosts from launching challenges over 100% of the allowed size in multiplayer (these can still be played offline)
As a result of these we are hoping to see a significant improvement in the amount of Online crashes and disconnects !
Note there is still one disconnect issue remaining due to latency issues which we are still investigating. Players who are geographically closer to one another are less likely to encounter these issues.
We have some more fixes in the works and will update on those soon. In the meantime do let us know how you get on with the new patch.

We’ve had to adjust our plans slightly after a few issues came up that we felt were important to fix properly.
An update is now live with the following fixes and improvements across all platforms (unless otherwise specified):
[Online] Resolved a crash occurring in online sessions
[Drifting] Experimental Drift Mode is not longer experimental and is enabled by default. Legacy drift mode can still be enabled via the DJ Menu → Settings.
[Performance] Added a Setting to disable Parking Lots to improve performance (and in doing so allow car switching at any time). When parking lots are disabled, changing car becomes available under "Mix My Car" in the DJ Menu (same as it is online).
[Performance] Extended streaming range to prevent players from outrunning world streaming in the Weld
[Weld] Corrected the 0-62mph string for the Weld

A new cop car - the ever popular Maclean Aurora now comes in a Cop Variant - unlocks at 750 Licence Points
Once you've secured this new ride, head to any of the 4 Police HQ Parking Lots to pick it up and go hunting for the Weld WTF Shutdown
Shut down the Weld and you'll have unlocked the ultimate reward car.
Get behind the wheel of the Weld WTF and you'll find 4 more events waiting for you.
The Weld WTF Wreckoning event
Run to the Sun: A New Wreckoning
Macgowan’s Peak

Upgrade to the Weld WTF GP and 3 further events are now yours to dominate
Starman's Dilemma
Race to Higher Ground
Downhill Rampage
The 100% requirement has been upgraded to include the new cars and new events (but don't worry you don’t have to re-earn the 100% car if you already have it!)
Other fixes and improvements include:
Fix for invisible barriers appearing in races when creating custom road events
Disconnect popup now only shows every 10 minutes (we didn't want to let players disable it entirely as they would then not be uploading and downloading high scores.)
Correct time shows on the Mitani Suprema’s Wreckoning (5.00)
Alternate liveries for existing cop cars
Livery fix for one of the Mulsanne liveries.
Russian drift and drift chain message fixed

Welcome to our 14th Update
Watch on YouTube
Here is what's included
Drifting
Our new Drifting Model, thoroughly tested and loved by our Patreon players, is now available to all players (switch to it in Mix My Car)
We've also made the following Additional Drift Improvements (for those who were already playing it).
⁃ Drift entry is now more consistent across all cars
⁃ Drift exit is less "sticky", meaning there isn't a big delay right at the end of counter-steering before actually exiting
⁃ Drift transitions have been improved
⁃ Cars are much less likely to roll over (even part way) when drifting over the start of a downward slope on Sky Tracks
⁃ Braking and Handbraking now have a larger slowing effect while drifting
Liveries
The Motorhead, Headbanger, Vagabond, Hauler, Powerslave, Mulsanne, Cigarello and Bison all have new liveries created by Wreckreation player ‘Biggie’ - 34 new liveries in total
Thanks to another Wreckreation player KekAnTing the cop cars now have county alternate liveries available via Customise My Car.
Other Fixes and Improvements
We've upgraded the Boost system on the Huntsville Hauler and Maiden Manhattan cars (and their Wreckoning versions) so they can carry 95% of their top speed when boosting offroad (to match other cars in the Offroad class).
We've fixed barrel rolls being limited to 1 roll on keyboard controls
Finally, last not very much not least - SkyTracks have been optimised allowing for larger tracks to be uploaded.
Thanks for everyone who continues to feed back on the game. We are loving working so closely with the community. See you soon. If you're not already there, consider joining us on Discord or Patreon.

*New* Worldwide Leaderboards & PC Rebinding Patch (Update 13)
Our 13th free update, Patch 8, is live. Last week, just as we were preparing to release, we discovered a 100% reproducible crash that would have impacted anyone creating events. We held the update back to fix it properly. That inevitably caused a delay, but it was the right call.
Our 13th free update, Patch 8, is live.
Last week, just as we were preparing to release, we discovered a 100% reproducible crash that would have impacted anyone creating events. We held the update back to fix it properly. That inevitably caused a delay, but it was the right call.
This update includes significant changes to the new drift model (now available as an option to all Patreon members - free and paid), AI and Sky Track fixes, and the addition of Top 6 Global Leaderboards for all event types.
Leaderboards
Top 6 leaderboard for every event is now shown in the Event panel for all Event types including Custom Events, via the Map (note: does not show on race results).
Handling changes
Drift
Fixed drift exit taking too long
Fixed bug where some cars (particularly RWD Bruisers) could spin out and become stuck driving in reverse
Reduced resistance when exiting a drift by steering out
Tuned vehicle rotation during drift, especially when steering in
Automatic gearbox is no longer disabled while drifting
This fixes the issue where you could start drifting at 50 mph in 2nd gear, boost to 200 mph, and still remain in 2nd
Handbrake now correctly increases turn-in (previously had no effect)
Tweaked steering response on certain cars to reduce lag/floatiness
Moved the Experimental Drift Model to a more obvious location in the DJ Menu
Handling
Fixed strange roll/spin correction while airborne
Handling: Tweaked suspension setup for Hooper Powerslave to make it more stable when cornering (especially on Sky Tracks)
PC
Key bindings can now be accessed via DJ Menu > Settings as well as Map > Help.
AI
Fixed AI crash when landing jumps
Fixed AI spinning out when shunting other cars (including the player)
Reduced AI confusion caused by bumps/jumps during Sky Track lap races
SkyTracks
Fixed a crash that affected any track with a checkpoint on a jump where a loop came close to the top of the checkpoint.
Fixed a crash if you went into daydream on a SkyTrack near a junction without a road attached.
We know many of you are eagerly awaiting news on the Weld, Blackspots, Construction Vehicles, and more.
As we explained on our Patreon last week, larger feature updates need funding behind them. We’re continuing to work on that in parallel.
If you’d like to help move things forward, there are a few ways that genuinely make a difference:
Join our Patreon, even as a free member, it all helps.
Keep playing and stress-testing the update
Report reproducible issues clearly (especially crashes)
Set leaderboard times and flag anything that looks rogue
Share Creator Challenges and events you’re proud of
Spread the word to friends who love arcade driving games
Every bit of interest strengthens the case for what we can build next.

This is our 7th Patch and our 12th update overall (check out our FAQ for a list of all the updates we have done so far)
This patch includes the following improvements and fixes:
PC: Keyboard rebinding (beta) - we’d love feedback once it’s in your hands
Gas station repair now reliably reattaches missing parts
Challenges moved into a separate save game to prevent stalling for players with very large saves
Drift fix: reduce the chance of cars rolling over during drift
Cop Car Liveries: fix the cop car liveries being incorrectly assigned when damaged; fix an additional bug where police vans would have incorrect liveries applied
Nebraska Wreckoning: prevent the event being played in any car, and remove incorrect cars from the leaderboards
AI ruleset fix (Road Rage): if more than 4 AI are applied, the game will show an error and limit AI to 4 (prioritising non-penalty AI)
We have also extended access to the new experimental drifting system to all paid Patreon members - find it under Mix My Car>Handling>Drift Model where you can turn it off and on - let us know what you think. Note this was a server side change so takes time to roll out - if you don't yet have access wait til tomorrow and if still no access then message us on here and we will check your gamertag/Steam ID etc is linked up.
As ever head over to our Patreon or Discord if you'd like to engage with other players, find online games or chat to us online.

This pack introduces an alternative, physically driven drift model - this will be rolled out gradually as it is still very much in Beta - we have rolled it out to our Beta members to gauge feedback.
Crucially this new system will sit alongside the existing drift behaviour - it will not replace it. Players will be able to switch freely between the two and decide which they prefer. Once we have gauged initial feedback and made any adjustments we will roll it out to all players.
This Content Pack also includes the following community-voted Improvements:
Adds a filter to show only incomplete items on the map - this can filter by Incomplete progression events or Incomplete Billboards, Smash Gates and Live Mix Collectibles helping players mop up those last few items by type.
Replaces Double-Header Billboards so all Billboard collectible-related cars can be collected in Offline play.
Introduces a change to the reset feature after a crash - now offers both ‘Reset’ (to undamaged vehicle) and Drive away options.
Adds the Police class to custom events enabling players to make Cop only events
We have also enabled the ability to choose specific vehicle models for each AI type in all modes of play (note that the existing AI ruleset will need to be deleted when editing custom events and the new Car specific AI ruleset added).
The player car no longer crashes out when jumping off low Sky tracks outside events
Console and PC performance has been improved to minimize streaming hitches
In addition we have made multiple small world, Sign and car livery/badge fixes as well as some small UI fixes

We have just published a quick patch to solve a few things we discovered this week and wanted to get sorted quickly. Thanks to everyone involved in getting this out so quickly.
Changes:
Fixed issue where first race would reset you back on the Sky track at the end, requiring a game reset to bypass (also affected all Sky Track races that ended with a jump off an off-ramp)
Fixed virtual keyboard not appearing on console when entering Share codes (to view other people’s challenges)
For Patreon members look for a poll later today asking you to prioritise what Quality of Life changes we should focus on next.

Players can visit any of the four County Police HQs or Sheriff Departments to discover a new drivable Cop Car at each location — each with its own unique Shutdown event. Look for the Police Badge icon on the Map.

By completing all four Shutdown events, players will unlock the following vehicles:
- Huntsville Nebraska
- Mitani Suprema
- Freiberg AMG W-Class (Track-based)
- Delon Mulsanne (Track-based)
Each unlocked car features its own Wreckoning event — complete it to earn the upgraded version of that vehicle.
Cop Cars can ram traffic out of the way and can also be used in any unlocked events that don’t have a specific Car Restriction.
Additional Content
The pack also introduces 8 new Live Mix unlockables unlocking 60 new Live Mix pieces, including:
- New narrow straights and curves connecting to the popular Spiral piece.
- 3 new moving Obstacles - the “Bootlegger”, the “Gate Crasher” and the “Slugger” - to add some extra danger to Challenges!
- Physical letters and numbers.
- Seasonal items for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
- A new extra small platform and target and additional props.
Technical Updates
- PlayStation 5 Pro: Native 4K at 60 FPS
- PlayStation DualSense: Custom colour feedback during gameplay
- Plus, numerous community-requested fixes and optimisations
Fixes include
Cop cars, Bruiser and Offroad Cars can punt cars from behind making them a more forgiving choice in races for less skilled players (note this is not ‘traffic checking’, there is a speed hit for doing it so it’s not a fastest time strategy!)
Race and Hyper Class Cars can no longer punt any cars in Freedrive. However all cars have a more forgiving collision system when travelling at low speeds or when glancing off the sides of obstacles.
There is now less chance of spinning out when shunting traffic.
Fix some cars crashing on the Super Loop.
Arlen’s Cove ‘Par’ Wreckord Time has been increased by 5 seconds.
Police Stations have new icons.
Dynamic Obstacles have been moved out of Sky Track menu (as they can be used anywhere not just in Sky Tracks) and into their own category. Also now easier to cycle between them.
Fixed Dynamic Obstacles not deforming the car.
Collision properly resets on Repair when driving through Gas Stations.
Added VFX Settings options on PC
· High - No changes
· Medium - Front wheels don't produce smoke
· Low: Front wheels don't produce smoke, Only player vehicle's wheels produce smoke, Vehicle explosion effect no longer produces light
Fix for Crash in Profanity Filter which would happen when editing Challenge or Event instructions in the Map.
2 ramps on Bay Drive and 1 on Black Pine Bridge moved out of the racing line.
Culled some trees at Crystal Bay Speedway entrance that interfered with the racing line.
Extending the Checkpoint radius so they are consistent across all event types regardless of visual size of the Checkpoint.
Fix for visual collision on the Food trucks not matching the actual collision.
Improved Streaming to reduce chances of falling through the world due to unloaded tiles.
Fix for FOV being incorrect after crashes, especially noticeable on ultrawide monitors
HUD changes to better support Steam Deck screen size.

Patch 3 Key Changes
Fixed various Physics bugs particularly when coming back from the Takedown camera. This work is ongoing.
Reduce frustration from inconsistent and low speed Car collisions.
Make Battling more consistent.
Improve responsiveness of the handling and make the drift more consistent.
Fixed a various bugs with Game Stats and Achievements/Trophies.
Fixed a bug with 2 Live Mix icons that could not be collected and add new unlocks for those 2 collectibles.
New reward for the “Blown all Cobwebs” Trophy/Achievement - Display all unlocks on the Map.
Fixed a bug where the custom car engine audio will reset if you crash.
Various other Gameplay bugs.
Fixed most frequent causes of Game Crashes.
Multiple World fixes for issues reported by players.
Physics, Collisions and Battling
Fix Physics bugs particularly when coming back from the Takedown camera. This is part of ongoing work to detect and fix Physics issues.
Reduce frustration from inconsistent and low speed Car collisions - Under 60mph reduce the likelihood of crashing your vehicle at all in events. Work is ongoing to take this further and to make collisions more consistent between Freedrive and Events.
Made Battling more consistent by ensuring AI always react when slammed.
Handling
Fixed inconsistencies in starting a drift.
Fixed another speed up bug (in addition to the one fixed in previous patch)
Improve responsiveness of the following cars:
Solomon-Hirsch Headbanger
Solomon-Hirsch Motorhead
Dearborn & Schaeffer Gemini
Solomon-Hirsch Hellfire
Solomon-Hirsch Cyclone
For example, the Headbanger which is the first car in the game is now much more responsive to steering inputs, at all speeds. Total steering amount at high speed is slightly reduced, to encourage drifting rather than simply driving around any corner. Tyre friction has been reduced front and rear, to allow for slightly looser grip levels to reduce the "on rails" feeling. Suspension has been softened up to allow a small amount of extra body roll and weight transfer. Camera rotational lag has been tightened as well to make the car appear more urgent and less wallowy when changing directions.
Fixed cars that could spin out too easily:
Kurosawa Dragon
Delon Cigarello
Tasca Barchetta Maestrale
Improve overall handling of 2 cars:
Dearborn & Schaeffer Model D (improve steering at speed)
Hooper Wildcat HRT (suspension bottomed out and made car wobble when cornering hard)
Reduce the likelihood of cars flipping over when offroad.
Stats/Collectibles/Achievement Fixes
Fixed a bug with the reward cars not unlocking (for Billboards and Smash Gate Milestones) if they were collected as the client online. This will be retroactively awarded for players who have already completed the requirement.
Fix a bug with 2 Live Mix icons (Glen Ross Farms overpass and Smokey Tower) that were duplicates of others and therefore would not unlock. New Live Mix unlocks not previously available have been added for those 2 collectibles.
Fix a bug with the ‘My Colouring Book’ and ‘Road Runner’ Achievements/Trophies (Discover all Roads/All Dirt Roads) which were not counting correctly in events. Unfortunately, any missing roads may need to be rediscovered though it is likely these would be Ranch Road or Piper’s Trail. Note that the whole of every road and dirt road does not need to be driven to unlock this award.
Correct the Stats reporting of Wreckords to not combine Drift Combo and Drift Wreckords (this also solves confusion as to whether players had unlocked the Fellow Traveller Trophy/Achievement)
Correct the Stats reporting of Completed Events and Total Wins to exclude the Tutorial Race (as you can't replay it if you don't win it making it unfair for completionists) and include the Stunt Runner event
Correct the text on the ‘We are the Champions’ Trophy/Achievement to reflect that it is awarded for all Road Races (so excluding Offroad Races and Sky Track Races)
Other Fixes
Total Road Rage on Dry Creek Road and Total Road Rage on Coastal Highway have been given more time but still remain in the Snow.
If you change your car engine audio, it will no longer reset when you crash.
Fix Bug to ensure the Online Coop Challenge “TFE Challenge #8 ‘Be in the Loop’” loads correctly.
Change collected Live Mix icon to a tick rather than being transparent.
Fix the Hunter Hauler Extreme not physically colliding with Smash Gates.
Fix bug where you could lose all UI if you hit ‘Retry’ as your vehicle was about to crash.
Fix various rock holes, missing sign text and road snapping issues.
Crashes
Crash when holding throttle when changing car.
Various crashes / instability if you launched an event through the map screen, then opened and closed the map during the event.
Random crash from a threading issue, more prevalent on Xbox.

First Fixes - Fixed the Stalling. Moved Settings as noone could find it!

Hello and a huge thank you to all of our fans currently playing the game and thank you for your patience in particular with the Stall issues since we launched almost 2 days ago.
Our top priority right now is to ensure we get rapid changes into your hands whilst ensuring we test them thoroughly.
We are pleased to announce our first PC patch
Key Highlights of this Patch include:
PSO data has been regenerated and repackaged to significantly improve Stalls on PC
Unnatural speed Drifting bug has been fixed (thanks to the Discord community for their help with this one in particular)
Settings moved to a more Visible location
Many of the Race and Road Rage events have been updated to have pre-authored time and weather to reduce difficulty spikes from the dynamic TOD and weather systems. This does not affect any previous progress, all times, licence points and Live Medals remain valid.
Full Details on all Changes
Stalls:
Regenerate and repackage PSO data to significantly improve Stalls on PC. This work is ongoing to ensure the maximum possible coverage
Handling:
Fixed a bug with drifting, which made the car speed up unnaturally or move around in a janky way.
Settings:
Add settings button to the pause menu (redirects you to the DJ menu like the stats does the map)
Settings also now available in Opening race.
Video settings now available at the same time as Audio settings for consistency and to make them visible during events.
Events:
Changed Race and Road Rages to have a pre authored time and weather to reduce difficulty spikes when driving predominantly at night or in bad weather. This does not affect any previous progress, all times, licence points and Live Medals remain valid. However it may make the events easier if you have not yet completed them (depending on the time of day and weather conditions were when you first played it!). See full list of changes at bottom of this update.
Crash Fixes:
Fixed a crash when moving Live Mix Track Pieces near certain road pieces
Other Fixes:
Remove one type of low rock cluster reported by players that had no collision (to add collision would have been annoying as it is too low to be visible when driving)
Audio:
Adjusted Sirens so they faded in and out better as they drive past you and they don't suddenly cut off at 660m
Adjusted Plane so it also faded in and out more smoothly and didn't fade away unnaturally quickly
Reduced volume of 2 Boost layers so they were not as loud in the mix, especially when at low BoostOnTime values
Reduced volume of Turbo1 and slightly reduced volume of all turbos when in Bumper cam
Reduced volume of InSky looping ambience so it does not come in super loud when navigating around in LiveMix
Reduced volume of Traffic exhausts to try and stop the mix being super bass heavy when there are lots of vehicles stationary/waiting at junctions
EVENT CHANGE DETAILS
The following Races have been changed to have the originally authored Time of Day and Weather to reduce difficulty spikes when driving predominantly at night or in bad weather. As stated above, this does not affect any previous progress - all times set, licence points earned and Live Medals recorded remain valid. However it may make the events easier if you have not yet completed them (depending on the time of day and weather conditions were when you first played it)

All Road Rages have been updated with a set Time of Day and Weather apart from the following 2 Road Rages which have remained as Dynamic:
Penalty Road Rage on Crystal Bay
Total Road Rage on Shoreline
As above this change does not affect any previous progress - all Scores set, Licence Points earned and Live Medals recorded remain valid. However it may make the events easier if you have not yet completed them (depending on the time of day and weather conditions were when you first played it!)
We continue to look at Road Rage however please remember to use Gas Stations to add Wreck Limits, Bruiser cars to get an additional +1 at the start and that you can change direction to pick an ‘easier’ route on the fly.
As always we will be constantly checking the feedback and bug reports, so please keep updating us. We hope you’re enjoying Wreckreation so far and that this new update will be helpful to you all.
