Fixes & Improvements
Physics
- Adjusted steering and leaning behaviors while in Shallow Water. It is now easier to steer/lean in shallow water when moving less than 10 mph, as speed increases steering/leaning gradually become more difficult.
Environment
- Returned National start gates to the correct appearance and location.
- Cleaned up some imperfections in the appearance of the terrain in KTM RD Field.
- Added fade to start gate backdrops so that vehicles are visible at the start gate when in events which include UTVs.
Gameplay
- Movement at the start gate prior to the gate drop have been restored to the previous level of freedom.
- Disabled controls during the Pre-Race animations and Post-Race results. This also impacts the first few seconds of the pre-race during Online events; we are looking for a solution to reduce/remove this in a future patch.
- Start positions for vehicles when using the ALL OPEN class have been adjusted to better accommodate UTVs in Nationals and other events.
- Gate Selection is also available in Exhibition, allowing players to get first pick at their starting position and practice the holeshot from anywhere in the gate.
Online
- Addressed further potential causes of Online Playlist events sometimes ending before the finish conditions are met.
- Improved the visual quality and reliability of the transparent “ghosting” effect applied to players when paused/reset.
- Added the “ghosting” effect to paused and reset players in Freeride and Pre-Event Lobbies.
- Casters and Spectators will start in a camera overlooking the start gate, if it's available for the event.
UI
- Updated “Remaining Time” widget in the FMX HUD to improve readability and unify its appearance across events.
- Event Settings are now retained when navigating away from the menu, creating another event, and even when restarting the game.
- Updated composition of Handguard thumbnails in the Parts menu to capture them from the correct angle and provide a fuller image.
Animation
- When using Airborne Adjustment, the rider is now appears to actively push the bike down using their legs and arms. The Rider will now Stand-up when Standing (left-stick Up, E key) instead of sitting down, and when Sitting (left-stick Down, Q key) the Rider will first push the bike down and then Stand-up.
Customization
- Fixed issues causing some MX graphics customization to be lost/reset.
- Adjusted logo/design on Thor LaunchMode pants to better reflect real-world product
- Updated Goggle lens colors to better reflect real-world products.
Other
- Optimized rendering performance, especially on XB1 and PS4. The visual quality of each frame should now appear more crisp and clear when there is a lot of onscreen action.
Known Issues
Gameplay
- Frame rates exceeding 60 FPS may experience visual errors and inconsistent gameplay behaviors, especially when exceeding 120 FPS.
- Shift sounds can still trigger at the incorrect revs. These issues are currently being addressed. More news to come as work progresses.
