**Range Rover Evoque Coupe HSE Dynamic
**Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG

***This was fixed on October 12.
*Cheaterboard issue: After updating the game, some players reported being sent to the Cheaterboard by just participating in a race
**It is recommended that the player should not participate in a race when any of the booster's timer is close to 0s, or else the server will treat it as a cheat, thus result in the player being sent to Cheaterboard, unless the player actually used any cheat engines
***Another cause that could have trigger this bug is when the player has a low internet connection, resulted in unstable connection or delayed between the player's device and Gameloft's server
**To be able to return to the normal leaderboard, the player first has to wait for 24 hours from the moment the player was sent to the cheaterboard. During this period, it is advised that the player should not open the game. After that, simply plays the affected event one more time.
***Another quicker method is to do the following:
****After being sent to the Cheaterboard, play a Special Event race in any stages.
****After finishing the Special Event race, close and reopen the game.
****Simply play the affected event one more time.
*Game crash issues:
**On October 13, some players reported the loading screen being stuck midway, thus unable to enter the game 
***A work-around is to restart the game
***This was fixed on October 14
**Other players have reported that attempting to play a Gauntlet or Multiplayer race would result in a game crash
*If the player swiped or scrolled the season page in Career mode quick enough, the text that displays the season name would be disappeared until the player exits the mode or enters any races in any season pages
*If the player attempt to re-enter a race using the replay button, sometimes the credit-rewarded screen and/or the Multi Credits-rewarded screen would be glitched out
