This patch is basically an introduction to the upcoming 007 Aston Martin car along with a number of bug fixes. Other changes include bug fixes including an issue due to which, some licensed vehicles, such as the Nissan Skyline, were unable to be equipped with some Wheels (Apex, Bionic, Patriarch, and ARMR). Fixed save data uploads so that they don’t interfere with connectivity or in-game functioning for some players at the start of online matches. The effect of Decals on Octane’s body trim has been changed such that pixelation no longer occurs.
