I don't know if you notice... since the patch when dedicated server was finally released plus another improvements, some bugs appeared as well, some were fixed inmmediately, but seems like other were not. So since that patch... the high quality sound of the DMD P20 gear got turned down, while the shadow of MISTRAL M531 dissapeared. I like so much this category but I don't like racing like that... and just becuase it's free doesn't mean is not worthy. Anyone has heard about these bugs before?
The free to play side of things is undergoing a complete revamp bringing it inline with the rest of the game, maybe you may have to wait a wee bit longer as probably not worth working on the old version with a new just around the corner. I promise you it will be worth the wait!!!!!
