Need For Speed news

An update for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit titled 1.2 has arrived.

At the moment, the update is being distributed only in PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 networks (connect later if you cannot access the update), and will be automatically accepted upon the next launch of NFS: HP in connected mode.

Here is a portion (the main part) of this update:
- Fixed a frequent issue where players would hang while loading after joining an Online game.
- Fixed a frequent issue where the number of received snapshot/dreamshots was displayed incorrectly.
- Fixed an issue with the roadblock on Coral Bay Drive in the "Highway Battle" invitation.
- Also fixed a bug reported by players where they could not take any more photos even though their limit had not been reached.

So, we finally determined the winner of the competition Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Autolog Photo Contest after 10 not-so-easy rounds of voting. The winner was AznMunky710 with his Lamborghini Reventon going head-to-head with Pagani Zonda.

It was quite exciting to browse all the screenshots and put them up for the community vote, and in the end democracy won, so I ask you to join in and congratulate the winner.

We built a new in-game store so that, instead of visiting the website every time you wanted to buy new Powerups or purchase the latest car releases, you can always open our Boost store right in the game with a single click.

To enter the store, you need to click the icon SpeedBoost Store in the upper right corner of the screen.

We kept the store design in a very minimal style to make it as simple as possible, so you can see a row of tabs at the top of the store with the items you need.

When you click on one of them, you will see updates with specific offers. When we created the store, we wanted to help you choose a car, so we made the car store in such a way that when you hover the mouse over a selected car, you could see its specifications.
