Bugs/Glitches[]

  • The following bugs/ glitches have been fixed
  • The following bugs/ glitches still persist from previous updates
    • The red color option of the McLaren 600LT is not displayed properly
    • Graphics issue: Some players reported unable to set the graphics to high, even though the device is capable of doing so. On Android, attempting to set the visual quality to the highest will result in resetting to default after getting out of the "settings" page
  • Christmas Gifts: Several players have received both the Lotus Exige S Coupe and "Black Stripes" Decals from the Christmas Gifts, even though the latter is supposed to be compensation for those who already own the car.
  • The signs and billboards on some track are distorted or not displayed properly
  • Upgrades for the DMC DeLorean Neon Edition, the Rinspeed zaZen and the 9FF GT9 VMAX cannot be applied
    • This was fixed on December 20, 2024
  • From December 12, 2024 onwards, players on Windows platform are now able to watch ads again in order to obtain rewards such as Credits Cresdits, Fusion Coins Fusion Coins, parts, Tokens Tokens, Wild Cards from the milestone ads and vehicles from the Ads Relay Ads, storage slots, in addition to the Credits Credits from the daily multiplier ads after completing a race
    • Previously, at an unknown point in 2022 or possibly even earlier in 2021, only Credits Credits from the daily multiplier ads after completing a race were obtainable
  • Some players on Windows platform reported FPS dropped significantly and constant lagged during a race, despite their devices are capable of running the game smoothly or at least meet the minimum requirements to run the game
  • The Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster's rank, which is S1865, wasn't placed in a fixed Multiplayer Bracket that was introduced in the 2022 Lunar New Year Update and can't be tuned due to being an ULTIMATE vehicle. Instead, this car was treated as if it doesn't have a Multiplayer Bracket, causing an unfair advantage, especially when racing in a lower bracket
  • Chasing Stars Event's reward bug: After the conclusion of the event, the following rewards were given out instead of the actual rewards the player would receive based on the actual position in the leaderboard. These rewards were given whenever the player opened the game. However, this only seems to be applied to certain players who participated in the event (i.e. make a wish to get a reward in a rewards board) and in some cases, finishing below Top 1% in the leaderboard
  • In the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster Car Hunt (3), there was only 1 Car Hunt Coins Cup as oppose to 2
  • For Android users, trying to access TLEs, Multiplayer, or Gauntlet results in Downloading Data, with the progress bar showing 0.0/0.0 MB.
