WTH with new update?

[typer_forum]

After update I can't now while drifting do nitro pls fix it in next update or make old drifting physics like 1.4

There is no change whatsoever to game mechanics in SuperTuxKart 1.5.

Using nitro while drifting is absolutely possible there.

The most likely reason for such a symptom would be a keyboard not being able to support enough simultaneous presses although that shouldn't be an issue for normal keyboards with the default layout, and there is no relevant change between 1.4 and 1.5 here.
