@RealRaptoReX
and about the content locked after 3rd Stacked Deck territory, which route did you pick? I didn't have such issue when I completed it.

@Milano
1. It doesn't work on redux.
@RealRaptoReX
2. It was never mentioned rebalanced AI in drift races.
3. Its mentioned in the text files that unlock progression isn't balanced and might change in the future as I would need to rework the current progression.
4. HardAI is disabled by default. It's the same thing of whatever CBR does.
5. Don't enable increased difficult for pursuits if its too difficult.
6. There are no plans for 5 races per territory or race war cash reward changes.

I tried to download it on the Redux, but the first step gave me errors. Does it mean it's not compatible with Redux?

@379Felipe

-AI isn't rebalanced in Drift Races
-Police are annoyingly rubberbandy, it's super hard to get rid of them, spawn-rates of Police are also way too high
-Race Wars only give 10K Money

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I couldn't direct message you on discord
