Post-Release Hotfix #1
Posted: Sat, August 20, 2016 @ 2:48 AM CEST
The Zen Edition has been out for three days, and there have been many new players, along with many bugs to fix.
Here is the latest patch and I'm working to fix new bugs as they come up!
Improvements:
o Added controller logging for better controller troubleshooting
o Can have more than one controller/input device plugged in (ie. steering wheel + gamepad)
o Added WASD controls. (sorry I forgot!)
o Game engine updated to Unity 5.3.6p2
Fixed:
o Fixed controllers vibrating if the car crashes right before the pause screen or on game over.
o PS4 controllers should work on SteamOS now.
o Minor bug where the Lighthouse in World 5 in Free-Roam had an incorrect collider.
o Max frame-rate is limited to roughly 200FPS to fix some UI glitches.
Known Issues:
o OSX: Crash when entering midnight events. Look here for updates.
o OSX: crash on startup. This has been temporarily fixed on some machines by skipping the Splash Screen.
o Some people have reported problems completing The Completionist achievement.
o Car sometimes starts in reverse or neutral when restarting an event.
o Glitches with the pause screen or game over animation. Try turning v-sync on if this happens to you.
It's been great seeing all the new feedback from the new Update, see you on the leaderboards!

Minor Update (Beta)
Posted: Wed, March 8, 2017 @ 5:28 AM CET
Hello My Children,
Been working on minor update which addresses a few lingering issues with Absolute Drift.
It is undergoing Beta testing, access it by opting-in to the [beta] branch in the steam client.
Improvements:
o Game Audio mutes when minimizing the game.
o Scraping the ground doesn't kill the multiplier anymore.
o Wall tapping doesn't kill the multiplier as easily now. (However, if you wall-tap very hard, it will).
o Added a quick restart button to the controls.
o Added a clutch button to the controls.
o Made the Hoonivan slightly larger to reduce its competitive advantage.
o Updated the game engine to Unity 5.6.
o Updated the input system, which should hopefully fix Win 10 + Xbox controller bugs.
o Added more Sake.
Fixes:
o Controller vibration continuing after an event ends.
o Car momentarily starting in reverse when restarting an event.
o A couple missions in World 5 free-roam that weren't consistently detecting spins.
o Falling through the level in World 5 if you hit a certain place at a certain angle.
Post Bugs (see 1st changelog)
And follow @AbsoluteDrift for the latest updates!

Btw, what would like you like to see in a Rally game?
