May 2020 Wreckfest Hotfix Released

Bugbear Entertainment continue to update their celebration of car destruction with a May 2020 Wreckfest hotfix released now for the PC, and presumably coming to console editions shortly.

The update fixes some issues relating to the last major game update at the end of April which added a new Tournament mode, a new demolition derby arena, and saw the release of the latest American All-Star Car Pack.

It also covers off some other existing issues to make Wreckfest more enjoyable, including ensuring that scoring quick multiple hits registers properly.
