Adjustments have been made to the physics of Drag Tires to align them more with their expected behaviour.
Developer Notes: The team noticed that Drag tires were reducing Performance Index (PI) significantly while still providing enough lateral grip to work effectively as a tire choice for several event types outside of Drag Racing. This is not the expected behaviour or use case for Drag Tires. To alleviate this issue, we have made some adjustments that ensure Drag Tires are no longer the optimal tire choice outside of drag racing events.
Fixed an issue where the Photography Section of Discover Japan could not be completed, which prevented players from reaching Master Explorer.
Further optimizations have been applied to PC audio performance, including adjustments to "Low" and "Very Low" Audio Quality settings. We recommend using these settings within the Graphics & Performance section of the Settings menu if you are experiencing audio crackling.
