Specifically with the scriptAI issues, where paths are set for AI vehicles, users were having issues with the paths not being followed or ignored. That has been updated in this patch. Other than that, the update is generally small but helpful. It’s only a 23MB update file, so that’s how tiny it really is. Check out the full set of changes below.
