[0.18.7.0] Accelerate's Drifting is Messed Up in Mirror Mode

When playing an Accelerate map with Mirror Mode enabled, drifting is incorrect if you perform a drift while boosting. It seems that the only thing affected in mirror mode is drifting, but I could be mistaken.

Steps to Reproduce

Play a map with mirror mode enabled, then perform a drift while you are boosting (either from a previous drift, a melon, or a boost pad).

What I expected to happen

To be able to perform a wide drift while boosting.

What happened

Instead of doing a wide drift, I sharply turn in the direction I’m drifting with little to no control.


Media

In both of these clips, I am drifting while holding either left or right (depending on the mode) away from the direction I’m turning.

I’m doing the same action, in the regular mode I perform a wide drift as expected, yet I somehow perform an extremely sharp drift in mirror mode.

I thought I was going crazy when it happened to me, but glad that I wasn’t the only one experiencing this bug.

Looks like the drift acceleration is being doubled in Mirror Mode. I’ll work on a fix.

This is now fixed in the next update.

Maybe I’m insane, but I just compared drifting again with the new hot fix (0.18.7.1) and it still does not feel correct in mirror mode. I believe that you still turn much more in mirror mode in a boosting drift than you do in normal mode, it’s very noticeable when you compare long turns between both of the modes.

it is definitely still quite off, you still turn way quicker with your drifts in mirror than you would in normal mode; makes doing ‘straight’ drifts to get boosts nigh impossible on certain tracks without bonking and losing your speed

Okay, yeah I notice it’s still off sometimes. I’m looking into the issue.
