• Fixed issue where pressing the clutch would not drop engine RPM;

• Rebalanced nitro refill value;

• Translated the text "MISSED SHIFT" into all other languages (shown when the opponent misses a gear change);

<< Improvements >>

• Added 52 body color options at Tião;

• Fixed bug where Touge mode kept counting even while paused;

• Fixed bug where Touge opponent teleported when far behind;

• Fixed collision issue where Player and NPC overlapped and couldn’t separate easily;

• Improved NPC lane-switching system (now much smarter);

• Added lane numbers to the mini-map;

• Added warning \[!] on the right side of the Highway when a car is about to appear in a lane (useful for players who don’t use the mini-map);

<< Final Notes >>
Due to the removal of automatic saving on exit, PLEASE save your progress manually using the disk icon in the garage. Otherwise, nothing will be saved;

I made some adjustments to opponent difficulty. I need your feedback on whether the difficulty feels right. It should not be too hard or too easy;
