Bugs / Glitches
The following bugs/glitches have been fixed:
 * Reset Upgrades : Any vehicle that the player has upgraded but does not own will have its MAX upgrades reset. Gameloft released a hotfix which "allow(s) Gameloft to run scripts to get the upgrades back as they were, and this will happen over the upcoming days".
 * Unusable Fusion Boxes : Attempting to fuse cards will show a full fusion bar. Upon tapping the "Claim" button, the game will show player's actual Fusion Points counter. The boxes depicted is also different, it is now a green BP offer box and the source code for the box's name and description are also shown. This was fixed shortly after the update's release
 * Missing Events : There have been reports that the R&D event for the McLaren 650S GT3 are not available to players even though an advert for the event and the car are shown. This was fixed during the release of the Windows version update.
 * The same case also happened with the Kawasaki Z800 Championship.
 * Game crashes on Android : The game will crash on Android when breakable objects are destroyed on the new track. The only solution is to remove the game cache from the SD card and re-download the game.
 * Persistent Steering : On various versions of iOS 11 & 10.3 and type of device, the game will have the vehicle constantly steering in one direction even if the device's gyroscope is calibrated. Rebooting the game only temporarily fixes the problem for a limited duration; at most, only the entirety of the first race is problem free. The only permanent solution is to restore an earlier iOS version. This is also present in Asphalt Xtreme
 * It is strongly recommended to have a backup of the device's contents as well as the game progress as an iOS reversion is considered to be a factory reset
 * No "Synchronizing Data..." or "Synchronization Complete" in R&D : The "Synchronizing Data..."/"Synchronization Complete" disappears during R&D events (EDDs and Championships are not affected), meaning if there are synchronization problems, the entire R&D race must be re-run from scratch as it prevents the re-sync button from appearing. This was fixed in Hot Wheels Update.
 * Non-stop Out of Bounds : After a Time Attack in Alps Sprint 4, the AI will often cause the player's vehicle to repeatedly go out of bounds.
 * Pro Card Arrangement : The arrangement of the player's inventory is similarly garbled with the card's rarity and type being disregarded. This was also fixed shortly after.
 * Sound on opening boxes (Android): When a pro kit box is opened, the sound effect for the opening sequence will play twice: The first is when the box is shown, the second is when the cards are presented.
 * Missing date on Daily Rewards : For October's daily rewards calendar, the 31st was missing. Whenever the game was loaded up, the sound effect would play but no reward was given, nor would the calendar be shown. This was fixed shortly after.
 * Sector 8 loop glitch
 * The "Championship" bug where Championships would end up being replaced with the McLaren M14A's Championship.
 * No Horizon Tilt.
