Controls reversed since latest update

My game updated last night and I just tried to do some races only to find that my tilt controls are now reversed. While it's kind of funny to do a couple of races turning the wrong way, the novelty wears off pretty quick and I'm now down points in BRR because I tested a couple of things to see if it was the game or just my phone. Seems to be the game so does anyone else have the same issue and know how to fix it?

    Copied from here, not sure if it works:

    Yep, it's a known issue that's noted to be fixed, likely in the next update.

     

    For now, avoid tilting your device all the way (that seems to be the cause). The work around right now is pause the game and rotate your device back to the original position, this should fix the problem.

     I would also try holding the device in desired position, engage the device orientation lock then start the game.

    Nevermind, I've managed to sort it. Force stopping the game in app settings (which I have to do every time I close the game to stop it ruining my battery anyway) seems to have solved the problem.

    Ok so it's just happened again. This time I just tried flipping my phone and the controls went back to normal. Flipping again and its back to reversed so it seems that while the game (or phone, not sure which decides that) realises the screen has flipped, the controls don't follow suit.

    Easy fix is to just use the phone up the other way but it means my left hand sits on the camera lens and my right hand covers the speaker, both of which are avoided when it's up the other way so it's kind of annoying.

    When playing nfs no linits (during an event) I started the race n my car swerved towards a the wall to the right. I only realized halfway through that for some reason my controls were inverted!! Someone hlep idk why this happened. How do I prevent this from happening again because tickets are expensive and because of that error my ticket was wasted
