Wreckfest recently received an update that added new content and fixed some known issues. This update brings a new tournament called Folk Frenzy and it comes with a new reward bundle.
The developers made some massive improvements to multiplayer and these changes should make online gaming more stable. Players should notice the better performance when using the client after new optimizations. Additionally, a new message will appear for the players who got kicked out of the server for idling. This will help them identify why they got kicked, as internet issues can also be the reason behind it.
