There is a bug (for me) that softlocks a game. After prologue there is no message from Mia and because of this I can't go into garage and then continue game.

100% the most relevant mod on this site, only second to Widescreen fixes. I love this, i hope you keep developing this.

As for feedback, i compared footage of the start of the game between this and the actual X360 gameplay, and i noticed that the lighting when races start aren't the same as in the 360. Shadows are aligned differently even if you change the time of day to the closest of the 360's gameplay footage.
I guess this is because of how differently time of day work in both versions? Good job anyway.

@elaymm4 Another problem - in the game after installing this mod there is no sun. That is, the sky shines, but there is no sun with rays, although it appears if you hold down the F12 button.

Great job man, but I noticed one problem - this mod destroys the gamepad icons that are installed thanks to WidescreenFix , as a result after installing the mod all the icons become like on the keyboard again.
