For each update released, there lies the potential for changes undocumented in the initial patch notes. Please report any Undocumented changes you find in the current update and I'll update the OP as much as possible to reflect those changes found.


1. It is encouraged that you make an effort in verifying these changes as much as possible.
2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.
3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.

THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF THE UPDATE or anything else other than undocumented changes in the update. Keep those strictly to the appropriate threads:

Could be coincidence, but my login bonus worked today after starting up the game twice.
My login number is at 18.

It's been working for awhile just unable to accept the rewards.
As it still for me says I am almost done with that achievement and I am on day 12.
 
Just to clarify, today was the first time I was able to receive the reward.

Again I don't think it's quite working since I still haven't been able to receive the award and I am on 1.05.
 
It seem that tires have more longitudinal grip / forward grip. Taking off from a standing start is much easier now, as the tires don't feel as slippery as they did before. Can anyone else confirm this? I'm not quite sure if it's just me.
 
Hmmm, yup, the tires definitely do feel different compared to before the update. Tried to do some drifting just now, and I can't do my usual wide drifts and smooth slaloms down straights. If I go for my usual wide angle, I'm guaranteed to oversteer or spin out.
