Bug fixing:

- Fixed a bug related to functionality issues of Thrustmaster T300 and T80 driving wheels on PS4.
- Fixed an issue related to the progression of certain Awards and Achievements.
- For some Awards and Achievements, the progression was not correctly tracked and the Awards were not correctly completed.
- Fixed an issue where some Faction Missions didn’t display the proper duration.
- Example: the Faction Mission “The Fugitive” that was considered as a long mission (over an hour) has been changed to a medium mission (10-60 min), accordingly it has had its reward rescaled to the new duration.
- Fixed some issues that were encountered when using text chat on PC.
- Improved camera stability at 60 frames per second.
- General stability improvements.
- Fixed an issue with the 6th gear on NISSAN Skyline GT-R (R34) Full stock.

Known issues:

- Using the rear view camera in Cockpit View will not be working properly: this bug is being worked on and should be fixed in the coming weeks.
