NFS World. Patch 5.18

NFS: World

New features:
- Dolby® Axon voice chat has been added to the game. Players can now communicate with each other after joining a group (up to 8 people)
- A new ‘Download Size’ option has been added to the launcher to help reduce download time for players who do not plan to play at maximum graphics settings
Note: installed games already contain textures for maximum settings. We advise players who have already downloaded not to change the option from ‘Maximum’ to ‘Standard’, as this will download additional files
- Players can now buy card packs divided by car tier (tier 1, 2, 3). Each pack contains parts for its tier.
- New Dodge Viper SRT10 (Team Escape style) is available for purchase
- New Pontiac GTO ’65 (Team Escape style) is available for purchase
- Pontiac GTO ’65 is available for purchase with in-game currency (previously available only for SpeedBoost)
- A new group HUD has been added. Players can now team up in groups to complete group challenges.

Fixes:
- Improved game client stability
- Identical visual tuning packs have been merged
- Fixed an issue where players did not receive the starting set of Power-ups for Team Escape
- Replaced the ‘Royal Purple’ wheel icon for the Dodge Charger
- Fixed a Team Escape issue where the chase distance was displayed incorrectly
- Fixed an issue where all Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 tuning packs were displayed in the Street category
- Fixed an issue where the number of participants who joined a private race was displayed incorrectly.
- Fixed an issue with incorrect display of the car durability icon
- Fixed a launcher display issue

Communicating with Dolby ® Axon

NFS: World

Who has the time and desire to type text during a race? Or in Team Pursuit, when you're pinned down, how do you call for backup? Text chat is no help here.

Today, April 12, voice chat will be introduced into NFS World, in partnership with Dolby ® Axon!

Dolby ® Axon offers clear, interference-free voice chat. Since it will be built into the game, you can talk during races without any problems. It's easier than ever — just log in and talk hands-free while you race.

Players will be able to start voice chat as soon as they join a group. Combined with new features such as Group HUD and Private Match, it will become much easier than ever to communicate and strategize for Team Pursuit or just go for a spin in Free Roam and chat with friends.

So grab your microphones off the shelves and get ready to chat with your friends in Need For Speed World!
