<li>VOIP system is now working as intended if a headset is plugged in after joining a multiplayer lobby.</li>
<li>Speech to text should now be functional for players on the same platform.</li>
<li>A similar issue also affected the text to speech audio being distorted, this is now resolved.</li>

<li>When using custom colors, the color displayed in the “last/recent” slots should now display correctly. It did most of the time, but there were a few scenarios where it wouldn’t.</li>
<li>Fixed an occlusion issue on a mountain along Boulder Road.</li>
<li>The Porsche Boxster Spyder now allows you to recreate “Speed Yellow” using the custom color palette.</li>
<li>Some events were missing Speedwalls, these are now present and visible on the career map.</li>
<li>The “Beauty and the Beasts” summary screen now shows the bounty earned for placing 3rd.</li>
<li>When losing connection and reconnecting, the player avatar is shown correctly on the Speedwall.</li>
<li>Notifications that a friend beat you in an Intercept event will no longer be cut off when scrolling at the bottom of the map screen, nor should they display random question marks.</li>

<li>When you are viewing your own profile on PS4, the game you’re currently playing is now correctly shown.</li>

<li>The player avatar frame now disappears after the first loading screen.</li>
<li>Player avatars should now be better aligned with names in result screens.</li>
<li>When cross-play is enabled, the platform identifier should now also show next to the name during a race, not only on the leaderboard.</li>
<li>With cross-play enabled, all platform identifier icons have the same shade / opacity of white.</li>

<li>In Photo Mode, the top part of the police car sirens is no longer blacked out when the “Show Damage” toggle is set to “on”.</li>
<li>Removed a redundant line from the User Agreement.</li>
<li>After changing the resolution multiple times, the intro cinematic to “My Career” should still render at full screen now.</li>
<li>As some if you had pointed out, there was a Rank 21 shown as next rank. This was unintended and has now been fixed – Rank 20 is the highest rank.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Localization</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Traditional Chinese: The “Jammer” text in the HUD is now in the right place when all charges have been exhausted.</li>
<li>All languages: Updated the localized Technical Support files in the Support folder of the game installation.</li>
