This patch is shipped with PCSX2 starting with v2.3.221.
This small SilentPatch primarily addresses the infamous “Magazine 22” issue, where a bug in the game’s implementation made the unlock requirements nearly impossible to meet. Additionally, several smaller bugs have also been fixed.
Featured fixes
- Fixed the unlock requirements for Magazine 22, which is awarded for setting a Drift Track record. The magazine is now awarded for beating the average lap high score, ensuring the requirements are fair regardless of the number of laps in the event.
- Drift events now display the total score as their High Score instead of style points.
- Fixed a buffer overflow issue in the UI display of opponent names. This resolves a bug where Samantha’s name appeared corrupted during races.
