Gameplay Adjustments to Support NASCAR[]

November is NASCAR month! To celebrate, we’ve made global changes in both Updates 13 and 14 to improve the racing experience across the game, and to make oval racing especially shine:

  • Tuned Drivatar AI on Ovals to have cleaner race starts, transition more smoothly after race start, and to trail more effectively.
  • Tuned car-to-car collision response for more physically accurate energy dissipation. This reduces the impact of small collisions and allows for more stability and control.
  • Downforce reduction for lead cars when drafting was reduced to make it easier to maintain position. (Update 13)
  • Improved Drivatar AI trailing ability especially in braking zones, making Drivatars less prone to rear ending other cars. (Update 13)
  • Updated the multi-car aero model to reduce downforce impact on leading cars, widen the aero wake near the car, smooth transitions near wake edges and reduce drafting induced aero balance changes. (Update 13)
  • Additionally, we’ve added support for rolling starts in Featured Multiplayer. Rolling starts will be enabled for all events in the NASCAR Series in Featured Multiplayer in Update 14. Rolling starts will be added to additional events, where appropriate, starting in Update 15.

Forza Race Regulations (FRR) Improvements[]

  • With Update 14, we’ve pushed a new Forza Race Regulations model with a slight reduction to false positive penalty assignments, and an improvement to severity assignment.

Advanced Ghosting in Multiplayer[]

Advanced Ghosting is a support mechanism for Multiplayer and Forza Race Regulations to help prevent some key collision or off-track situations from adversely affecting the online racing experience. Players will be ghosted in the following scenarios:

  • Predicted high relative velocity collisions: when an imminent collision between two cars is detected while driving above the speed threshold, the car with the higher velocity will be ghosted. This does not include low-relative velocity collisions like small fender bumps.
  • Returning to track: when a car goes off track, they will be ghosted to prevent collisions caused by unsafe re-entry until they have returned to track and reached a minimum speed threshold.
  • Stopped on track or driving below a speed threshold: cars that are driving too slowly or are entirely stopped and blocking traffic will be ghosted to prevent risk to other cars.
  • Driving the wrong way on track: cars driving the wrong direction on track will be ghosted until they are driving in the correct direction and meeting a minimum speed threshold. This is an existing behavior but has been expanded to include cars at extreme angles relative to track direction and speed.

Bug Fixes and Improvements[]

Stability and Performance[]

  • Fixed an issue where the game will sometimes crash when attempting to reset Free Play Setup settings to default after changing the Game Type to Multi-Class.
  • Improving loading time for vinyl groups on "My Vinyl Group" screen.
  • Improved performance when navigating between Vinyl Groups and Liveries menu.
  • Fixed an uncommon crash that could happen when loading liveries for AI Drivatars in Free Play events.
  • Fixed a possible game crash when pressing Confirm on Quick Upgrade.
  • Fixed an issue where the game could crash when accepting challenges.

Rendering[]

  • The global reflection probe for the track is now captured at the camera location and includes the track itself. This allows reflections to appear more accurate and prevents visual pops in the reflections by smoothly fading over time.

Physics[]

  • Fixed an issue on Mugello and other tracks where hitting curbs could cause sporadic, uncontrollable spins. This would occasionally occur when one or more tires rapidly accelerated or decelerated while unloaded during cornering. While curbs can naturally affect car balance, this fix ensures more predictable handling in these scenarios. As in real life, drivers should still approach curbs with caution, as they can disrupt vehicle stability.
  • Adjusted track wall friction on Eaglerock Speedway, Daytona, Homestead, and Indianapolis to more accurately reflect physical material properties.

Gameplay[]

  • Fixed an issue where a car's upgrades would also be reset if the player reset its tuning.
  • Performance rating is now correctly synced with the server even if the player leaves the upgrade screen immediately after equipping the previous part back.
  • Players are now able to move AI Drivatars from one group to another and resort the grid.

Audio[]

Multiplayer[]

Featured[]

  • Fixed an issue where players with a warning or ban history could get their current session into a banned state by going into Photo Mode.
  • Fixed an issue where upcoming series were sorted above active series in the Featured Multiplayer Event Select UI.
  • Medium races in Featured Multiplayer events have been updated to target a 20-minute race length.

Private[]

  • Fixed an issue where the mini leaderboard wasn't sorting players correctly in Drift events.
  • Fixed an issue where wet tires sometimes weren't automatically applied in rainy weather events.
  • Fixed an issue where players could be disconnected for inactivity in post-race in Private Multiplayer events.
  • Fixed a bug which incorrectly calculated Drift Lap Score when spectating.
  • Fixed an issue where the car's fuel level would not be correctly adjusted during Practice in Private Multiplayer.
  • Non-host players now have a UI element to convey information on whether the player's ready to race, ready to spectate, or unready.
  • Fixed bug where selecting Spectate would not automatically register that player as ready on the Host's game.
  • Fixed an issue where the Rivals Post Race menu would not be properly displayed, and the user would encounter a black screen.
  • Fixed a lobby disconnect which occurred when ending a Meetup with Drift scoring options on Sunset Peninsula.
  • Fixed an issue where accepting a Private Multiplayer invite while the livery save popup is displayed would cause game instability.
  • Fixed a crash which occurred when the player being spectated, or the host, quits the race.
  • Fixed an issue where the player would be locked in a loading screen while joining a Private Multiplayer lobby.

Career[]

  • Fixed an issue where certain cars would be ghosted in the First Cup race.
  • Fixed an issue where the player would become soft locked if they drove into the pit lane during the First Cup on Hakone.

AI[]

  • Fixed a bug where tire wear was not correctly affecting grip of Drivatar AI opponents in races.
  • Improved Drivatar AI pitting logic, especially in Endurance Races.

UI[]

  • Added a ‘Sort by Overall’ / ‘Sort by Group’ button to Event Results for Multi-Class Races allowing players to compare how they did against the overall driver list.
  • Fixed an issue where backing out of the Car Select Menu from an Open Class Tour will carry the same restrictions over to the Car Select Menus outside of the event.
  • Fixed an issue where the player loses HUD information when attempting to resume the game with a controller connected on PC, while focused on a second monitor.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred on PC when the file popup module for My Files is shown in a Community tab and the Share option is selected. Also, fixed the file options modal not opening in game options and while saving a UGC item.
  • Fixed an issue where the Start Race button was enabled too early after ending a Meetup, which could lead to unexpected behavior in pre-race scenarios.
  • Fixed an issue that resulted in an endless progress spinner on the info panel while attempting to save a tuning setup in the Upgrade & Tune menu.
  • Fixed an issue where a red gradient would appear over thumbnails while loading.
  • Fixed an issue where a random player-owned car would show up in the player's Primary Car Bay.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Wet Tires Applied” notification was either not displaying when it should or was displaying when it should not.
  • Fixed an issue where Best Drift value was not being calculated correctly when fast forwarding or rewinding a Drift Replay.

Livery Editor[]

  • Autosaved tunes no longer apply to a player's tune save limit.
  • Fixed an issue where livery changes would not be saved.
  • Fixed an issue where existing UGC could not be overwritten in Save Livery, Tuning, or Photo menus.
