Recently there’s been some reports of a near game-breaking bug in last week’s Xbox Live Arcade release, Mad Tracks. Users who had previously downloaded the trial version and then upgraded to the full game were unable to play certain unlocked tracks and mini-games.

Fortunately, a game developer from Load Inc. says the bug is now squashed and the patch has been sent to Microsoft for quality assurance testing. We’d guess a lot of users are upset over this, as plunking down 800 Microsoft Points only to get what is essentially still the trial version is, simply put, a downer. Be patient though, Microsoft should have the patch out sometime this week.
