I am quite certain roulettes have been adjusted (not in a good way).

Before, your reward, 95% of the time, was the top left reward. You could almost guaranteed predict what you'd get based on what ended up in that slot.

I've opened all my tickets today and they've all been in completely random spots - so I think they've finally noted that and made it more 'unpredictabe'.

They have fixed the big FPS drop in the first corner on Nurb WTC800, but some stuttering is still present. Maybe I'm imagining things, but those drops are smaller. Have to test other tracks.

Hard to tell and depends massively on the other conditions (weather, other cars, …).

How is that not in a good way? It'll likely still give you the same odds, so you can still tell what you're likely to get from it 😂

It still comes down to the payout - whether this has changed or not.
Just saying "it now seems to be more often the price at position x" has no factual value.
Besides, as the roulette is only a visual representation to waste our time, I dont think PD would change this at all.
 
Went to check my Ae86's horsepower, thought "168hp??" that can't be right. turns out I had bought the turbo but the game might have removed it from my car after the update which brings me to this change:

Undocumented change:

  • There's a New message if you are changing your parts in settings, you'll be notified now with a popup message if you add the turbo, certain engine upgrades are removed.

  • I believe also there is a new song or two. Maybe four new songs or more. New songs in garage and for the online time trials thingo menus

Also, they're probably going to fix this, but the Jimny decal group "other" is incorrectly not for the number plate you just bought.. to do that you have to place a decal in Body 2, the hood decal group

Probably not that incorrect after all, more like a pretty genius move. If it was in the "other" you'd have a hard time lining the plate up perfectly to not spill over to the bumper, now it's much easier. An unorthodox choice but one that works really well.

I bought a different bumper with new rear plates, so maybe you've got a different combination that works. In my case It'd make more sense the other way round. Different strokes

I just mean "not in a good way" as in it's not a positive change, not that it's a bad one instead.
I only said it because I didn't want people to get their hopes up after reading "I think the roulettes have changed" lol.

It's a very mundane and meaingless change but I'm 100% sure it has changed.

Today's reward was top left as most of the time, while a few of the last ones (this week but prior to update) were the one on the middle right.

I literally just got 10k for a 4-star ticket followed by 100k for a 3-star ticket so I think PD may have changed something up with the odds.

Not really sure what you're trying to say. I bought both front bumpers, the different rear bumper, and even the GT licence plates to see if any of them change the situation from default parts. They don't. In every case the bumpers are in Other, and the plates in Body 2 probably just to make it so that the plates can be easily decaled without affecting the bumpers.

I just watched Digit open like 15 tickets, and only a couple of them landed on that upper left prize. He was still getting the lowest prize for the most part, but it was no longer in that position. So, I'd say you're initial observation has merit.
