==Patch Notes==
=== New Features ===
*Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ technology, initially designed for Rayfield vehicles only, has now been adopted by other car manufacturers. You can now change the paint jobs on Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort vehicles. Pro tip: Use CrystalCoat™ to fool the cops and lower your NCPD wanted level!
*Kiroshi presents TWINTONE™! As CrystalCoat™ continues to in gain popularity, TWINTONE™ takes your paint jobs to the next level. Simply scan a car with your Kiroshi optics, switch to the TWINTONE™ tab, then save the vehicle's color scheme for a small fee. You'll then be able to select the scheme in the TWINTONE™ database under the CrystalCoat™ menu. There, you'll also find generic color schemes for all CrystalCoat™-compatible vehicles as well as unique color schemes exclusive to the vehicle model from which they were copied. Please note that color scheme cloning is not authorized on vehicles that are linked to quests, belong to the NCPD or that are incompatible with CrystalCoat™ tech.
*All vehicles compatible with CrystalCoat™ and TWINTONE™ are marked with a spray can icon on Autofixer.

*Mizutani Shion MZ1

We've overhauled Photo Mode and added multiple community-requested features:
*Drone Camera is now a free camera instead of an orbital camera centered around V.
*Increased camera range.
*Full Collision (ON/OFF) - determines whether the camera respects in-game object collisions.
*Lock Camera (ON/OFF) - locks the camera to avoid misclicking and ruining the frame.

=== Quests & Open World ===

*Balls to the Wall - Fixed an issue where it was impossible to exit the elevator and talk to Yuri because of an invisible wall.
*Firestarter - Fixed an issue where fast travel could be blocked if the player saved the game soon after exiting Reed's car.
