We are happy to announce the Photo Finish Update for Traction Control! This update includes improved camera controls, redesigned halfpipe, and more!
Camera
-Added player options for camera properties
-Added Camera Control input (Camera Pan & Reverse Camera toggle)
Points and Scoring
-Combo Timer reduced from 5sec to 3.5sec
-Boost Combo no longer gets reset on collision event
The intent with these two changes were to remove frustrating inconsistencies with collision tolerance in non-destructive crashes. Combos will now only consider time since last trick, making combos more consistent overall.
General Visual Updates
-Post-Processing FX & Boost FX have been slightly altered
-Some trees still weren't wiggling, but now they are.
Cars
-Cars, on the whole, have received buffs to jump height, boost strength and car acceleration.
-On average, car boost spend rates have been reduced (Samurai especially)
Levels
-Fixed a small hole in diamondback
-Fixed a BIG "hole" in temple
-Significant Park Changes: Halfpipes are no longer just tall ground. Properly modeled half pipes play way better, and have been included around the map. We've also added a small number of new features to Park.
-Minor fixes for all levels with respect to asset placement
Other
-Fixed issues with certain cars disabling collisions in multiplayer mode
-Fixed a spelling mistake
-Cleaned up some path/ ground intersections
-Added a ring to 'Learners Permit' challenge to make it clearer where to go
-Increased starting boost on 'Razor Thin' challenge from 50 to 200
-Updated 'Pipe Dream' challenge to pretty much be a brand new challenge
Challenge updates should not affect any paint jobs you have already unlocked.
-Minor updates to Options Menu
