Simulation

Debris particles may now be spawned along the entire width of the tire carcass instead of only in the center of the contact patch.

Fixed an issue with the updated debris system where some particles were not allowed to interact with the environment during their lifetime.

Dirt Racing

Fixed a critical issue where loose dirt at Dirt Oval tracks was completely invisible in Replay cameras.

Fixed a critical issue where AI Drivers would refuse to grid for Oval events using Timeline Weather.
