Bugs/Glitches[]
- Cadillac ATS-V Coupes returned to the garage - Many players that owned the Cadillac ATS-V Coupe reported that their Cadillac ATS-V Coupes were now unowned with a purchase price of 2,000.
- Falken Tyres ad blocking Tuning Kits (since Oct 16, 2019): For German players, the Tuning Kit panel on the pre-race screen is replaced with an ad by Falken Tyres which deletes the Play ad! button, so players lose 5 Tuning Kits per day. Combined with the persisting "Unavailable Nitro Starter ads" bug (see below), German Android players cannot watch Nitro Starter ads either, which lets them lose 5 Nitro Starters per day.
- Missing Pontiac Solstice GXP R&D: Some players reported that the R&D event of Pontiac Solstice GXP is inaccessible.
- This was fixed on October 1st, 2019 and the event was extended by 3 days for the players who encountered the problem.
- Automatic Event Participation: Some players have reported that Special Events are being automatically participated in, even after the time to participate has expired.
- Invisible Tokens Rewards: Tokens awarded when redeeming Daily Task or Multiplayer League Rewards appear with a placeholder icon and no text.
- Missing ReplayKit feature: For iOS users, players can't access ReplayKit because it disappeared in the game settings. This was fixed in the 2019 Halloween Update.
- The following glitches still persist from the preceding updates:
- System notifications about keys and tires being fully restored appear right after the first key (tire) gets available instead of when all keys (tires) get really available (seen on Android).
- Unavailable Nitro Starter ads (since 2019 Spring Update, v4.2.0): Some Android players experience a vanished Play ad! button for Nitro Starters when starting races while the Tuning Kit button is still displayed. Workaround: Playing a Tuning Kit ad first lets the Nitro Starter button reappear (Android).
