■ Read before playing
Getting in or out of vehicles such as cars and the Garden can occasionally leave your character trapped between the vehicle and the terrain features, or freeze the vehicle in place. This seems to happen most often when you leave your vehicle near impassable terrain or when you try to get in or out of the vehicle during certain scheduled events. Currently, the only solution for this is to reload a previously saved game, so be sure to save your progress frequently.
Some locations can be difficult to navigate using Speed Boost (x3). We advise you to disable this feature in these cases.
