Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Thread

[RejZoR]

Well i had a pirate version crashed once (i've downloaded it because i just couldn't wait the release even though i had it pre-ordered long before) and the original also crashed once. But ever since that crash, not a single one. Works like a charm.

The problem seems to be related to FSAA because when i forced regular FSAA, the game ran like crap and eventually crashed to desktop. So if you have Catalyst 10.10e Hotfix, use MLAA mode. It's used later in the rendering output and doesn't interfer with the game. Effect is also super smooth image and superior performance without a single crash. Gotta love AMD and their MLAA
Other than that i haven't changed anything else.

Oh and don't use Catalyst 10.11 WHQL as they are rubbish and just make the game crash. Use Cat 10.10e Hotfix. Works the best.

I haven't had a single problem with 10.11's crashing on me with this game. I am going to try 10.10e's because I want to try out MLAA.

What is this rubber band BS?

rubber banding is like lagging, when you think you are somewhere and then all of the sudden the game pulls you back to where it thinks you are.

like in an FPS and you run around a corner, and then die and it shows that you never made it there.

your computer is faster than the server, and the server compensates by rubber banding you backwards.

GOOD NEWS for all of us PC users.

Taken from EA forums:

Thanks to everyone who has helped us track down the problems that have been heavily reported on these forums.

I'm pleased to be able to update you on the patch that will be forthcoming early next week.

Mulit-Core CPU's
We've now located and fixed the problem that players were reporting where the game would crash on Car Select, Map Screen, Loading screen or just at the start of an event. Interestingly we're actually intrigued that the game works at all after our investigations with the problem actually manifesting itself in code that we shipped as part of Burnout Paradise.

We've also taken the opportunity to address a couple of other reported problems.

Missing Rain / Snow and Corona effects
This have been fixed

CL Eye Driver crashing the game on startup
Fixed.

Corrupted Dreamshots in non 16:9 aspect ratios
Fixed.

We've also added D-BOX motion chair support.

Once again, 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.

Criterion Games

So... lets wait another more week and let´s see the results of the new patch.

[Arciks]

ou yee,atlast good news.I was hoping to see some snow and rain in game.but what about mirror effect or is it normal?

[animal007uk]

Finaly got to play this game for a while and its a strange game, I don't think much to it yet i cant put it down if that makes sense lol.

All i can say is its a crap but a great game lol.

wow seriously read those user reviews, why do people always nag so much.

80% of these reviews are like this: "I wanted NFS undercover/mostwanted game ."
or "it does not have manual shifting"
or"its just like burnout"
it just makes me sick.
or "it does not have options to "pimp" or customize your car
PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK. some people just dont get what this game was meant to be. i am happy with this game and i am happy they have left that underground/most wanted stuff behind.

oh yeah and some of them also want a story line. i always found that the lames part of those street racing series. i just want to race. and if i want a story line. ill just play an rpg or something. racing games should be about good racing action, not about the pimping or storyline. (IMO)
tho they are right about the lack of graphical options/tweaking in this game. I HATE JAGGIES.

Hey fellas, please check out the Launch video for NFS even if you'll have watched it once.

We’re thrilled to see that a lot of you are loving Hot Pursuit as much as we are. We all knew that Autolog was something special, but you guys are proving that it’s going to change racing games forever. We actually feel sort of guilty for ruining so many friendships over the last week – with over 3 million challenges exchanged already..., it’s clear that all is fair when it comes to the Speedwall. So now we have a challenge for all of you! The dev team has put together a pack of 3 supercar convertibles – the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster , and the Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible Final Edition. If we can get the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit launch trailer to 1 million views by December 12th, these three amazing rides will be our little holiday gift to all of you playing Hot Pursuit. The race is on!

i have a legit complaint.. how do u release a game in 2010 that crashes on quad core computers.... shitty port

atleast the patch is coming out 2 weeks later...

[zaqwsx]

I have a quad core and havnt had a problem. I think some people dont know what they are doing half the time. I have played this game since midnight release for a week straight with no issues?

my game wont launch unless i set the affinity manually every time... and its a reported bug where the dev went as far to say "im surprised the game works at all"

Actually I meant the lame rubber band AI.

[Stak]

Well i haven't had any problems with my I7. I can play it for hours and hours without any problem

[Meizuman]

I might as well wait for a little while...

That should have PEGI 18

Most of you have probably seen it already as it is a bonus material in Hot Pursuit

[n-ster]

First of all, this is OT but... MLAA sometimes makes stuff blurry, not just text, which is annoying (mostly in pre-2008 games though)

So I can force AA and MLAA on NFS HP np, but my framerates suck... Even without AA of any sort, I get 37 min 62 max 49.8 avg

With 8xMSAA Edge-detect (24x) and MLAA I get 28min 38max 34avg ... Lower AA doesn't change the fps much

Is this normal? i7 920 D0 @ 4ghz and a 6870

[RejZoR]

MLAA doesn't make things blurry, it just makes things smooth that you ppl were used to see all jaggy. Wide/narrow tent filters do make image blurry. I kno because i was using Quincunx in GeForce days which worked the same way and was using Transparency AA since Radeon 9600 Pro days. So having smooth image is something normal for me for ages and i don't see any blur in images.

W00T-acular Rejzor, I actually got the game to boot now! my last reply to EA was rather strongly worded, so i assume that's why they put a patch out you can all thank me!

[zaqwsx]

it's a chair that has feedback effects, that add to immersion i guess. like tilting on turns, etc. never used one.
