Patch Notes (14 January 2020)

An issue with achievements not unlocking in the following three DLCs has been fixed.

• "Battle Rally"
• "Story Quest Pack"
• "Big Merry Cruise"

The achievements will now unlock by restarting with a saved game.

Due to game save specifications, some achievements cannot be determined by the saved game data even if the achievement conditions have been met. In these cases, it will be necessary to replay the relevant DLC again with a main game cleared save to unlock the achievements.

Issues with the UI not displaying correctly while playing using a keyboard have been fixed. The game will now function as follows:

• Starting the game by using keyboard inputs from the main menu will now display the keyboard UI during play.
• Starting the game by using controller inputs from the main menu will display the controller UI during play.
• Input switching is available only from the main menu.
