The penultimate month of 2010 has witnessed bizarre and fast-paced action set out by the advent of thrilling car races. As the next installment in the NFS series zoomed into the scene, gamers got onto the hot seat for an exciting and adventurous escapade. Apparently, some of these PC drivers seem to have met rough weather on the ride. According to a post on EA’s Need for Speed forum, Criterion Games has crafted a patch to fix issues faced by racers in Hot Pursuit.
Matt Webster from the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit development team, remarked, “Thanks to all the players who helped us track down and identify the problem. We’ll detail exactly when the patch will be available as soon as we can. As I said, it’s likely to be early next week, but we need to go through the testing and certification systems that are in place prior to release.”
The post elaborates that the development team has been receiving reports claiming that the game would crash on Map Screen, Car Select, Loading screen or even as the race was flagged off. This patch will resolve such hassles related to multi-core CPUs as well as fix the missing rain, snow and corona effects. It is also expected to secure Dreamshots in 16:9 aspect ratio while introducing the D-Box motion chair support.
Though no official date has been announced for the release of this patch, it is anticipated to come on board early this week. Some rumors indicate that the patch is already out for enhancing the adrenaline pumping race.
