Star Wars Outlaws' hectic speeder wipeouts won't happen as often with its major new update

Kay on her speeder.

Star Wars Outlaws is a decent Ubisoft open world adventure with its fair share of problems. In the days after it was released, I noticed a lot of people griping about Kay's speeder: it was far too easy to fall off the thing when crashing into rocks, trees and other environmental objects. I mean, that's realism for you. But realism is annoying, and people just want to go super fast on their sci-fi motorbike without the risk of annoying wipeouts, thank you very much. 

Ubisoft has issued a major new patch for Outlaws that, among other things, smoothens the riding experience. In particular, the studio has "improved speeder collision with the environment to reduce being knocked off the speeder". I just booted the game and did a little mosey around Toshara and, well, it's kinda hard to judge when you're actively trying to crash, but brushing against walls at high speed resulted in my bouncing off them, rather than off my bike (I ended up riding into a swamp and dying instead).
