From the start of the game when ever I play a swoop race it places me high in the air where I cannot get any boost. I managed to 'fix' this by holding down the space bar when I started and all was going well. Now, however, even if I finish a race, even if I beat the best time or do not crash once, the person at the swoop race says something along the lines of "Oh, that was a terrible crash. You have to complete the race". Is there a patch out to fix this yet? I know many people who have the first bug but I'm the only one who seems to get the second. Has anyone here had the same bug and is there a way to fix it?
