A Need For Speed Undercover Patch Is In The Works

Hi
I certainly hope that they will fix the current preformance issues, they are driving me nuts! I read on different forums that preformance issues are related to people that obtained the game illegaly and used a
non-standard-exe-file. But i have the real deal, and i tested a "nsef" to see if there were any difference. The difference is non existing! So the issue is with the game itself. I don't know if the games engine is the problem but in that case i'll stop buying games from EA just to prove that i am THAT tired of bad releases from them. In my opinion games are too expensive to have this kind of flaws. And just for the record, my system:
An OC'd XFX 8800GT
A E4400@2x3Ghz.... WHAT? Yes this is possible with stock cooling.
3Gb ram@800Mhz + 10GB pagefile XD plenty of space...
p5e-vm mb fsb@1Ghz
Vista 32bit utimate... And yes i love vista!

Well...I don't know. This NFS hasn't got that many problems. I have basically the same system only that I have also a ATI 3870 and without any problems I'm playing it at 1680x1050 with full details. Maybe it's something with your OS.

I am running the original retail version of NFS: Undercover, and have no problems at max settings. I suggest the 1st poster to check if your OCed hardware might be causing a problem. Some games don't like certain speeds.

Don't blame this on EA (I dont like EA anyhow), but I have no problems with this game yet.

If you're wondering, my system is a Asus P5K-E, Q6600 at 2.4, 4GB Kingston HyperX, ATi 3870+3850 crossfire.

well for me that schreen freezed to but when i turned off the shadows it stoped,so u might wana try that if it happens to u.it might help :) .

chears

I have a fairly beefy system aswell, and i truns like absolute crap, their is graphics glitches all over the place. I am lucky to get 5fps in some cases. I am running a 9600 GT with duelcore AMD 4800+ CPU and 3 gigs of RAM on XP pro.
I also notice this games doesn't properly support steering wheels. This game fails. This patch for it to be good will need to be basically a rewrite of the game.

I think its a game issue not OS. Ive tried on two different systems running Different OS and i like thousands and thousands of others including gameinformer mag have huge issues with popups, artufacts and poor fps! Sorry, but this game needs help, not someone bragging into the wind!

yeah i know this game have problems... if u dont see them.. then you are blind or something or just a fanboy... dont worry in time you will stop loving NFS after a few more mess up titles... this one is horrible...

1. low performance for no reason.. i dont see crysis like graphs, looks more like processor trouble...

2. stop to load game world in game... what the hell... is this!!!! hello EA the game should use ram not the pagefile of the computer lol...

3. the shadows are %^&* ^&*

4. and so on and so on

5. be a cookie cutter....

There are bugs within the game i seam to have problems when changing the wheels size ie making the rims bigger, the game crashes and needs alt,ctl,del to restart , does anyone know if there is a new game patch coming out anytime seen ?

I'm having that exact same problem and can't find any solutions.

wot about the xbox360? it seems to me that the 360 has the same problems

i have a really fast system
i can max the game at 1920 1200 full setting up high and get 50fps everywhere but yet it still feels as though its lagging.. every few seconds it will stop to load something for a split second enough to ram you into a wall at 400kph...and with motion blur i find it harder to race with the annoying lag type problem.. lowering the screen res down to 1680 by 1050 gives me 200fps unlocked and it still feels as if im lagging... hopefully this patch can help

we dont spend truck loads on computers that wont look nice

I'm having the same problems with slow frame rates and freezes. I've even upgraded my graphics card and I still have problems.

At first I was running it with 2 x ati crossfired x1950 pro's at 512mb (each) ddr2 pci express x16. I've now upgraded to a 1GB ATI HD4870 Toxic. It has improved the quality as I can max everything but still get the freezes now and again.

I had the same problem with Pro Street when that first came out but I upgraded my graphics drivers and it was perfect......not the same with undercover.

My System:
asus PK5 deluxe
2GB DDR2 RAm (soon upgrading to 4GB)
2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Quad
Sata Drive
ATI HD4870 graphics card
Windows XP Pro

Just finished upgrading my machine. I'm running the above system as mentioned in my last post but i've added another 4gb of RAM (6GB alltogether) and I've also installed Windows XP 64bit addition. I was going to overclock my quad core processor to 3GB but decided against it. Need for Speed runs like a dream now though with no stuttering or freezes. Everything is on max including Anti-A at 8X......I can finally play the game which I've had since Christmas!

Yea my 360 has been repaired and modified t its highest standards and the game is still freezing on me. im glad theyre doing this. THANK YOU GOD!

I have NFS undercover for ps3 and I noticed the update version 1.0 is causing my game to freeze without the update installed it works fine but it won't allow you to sign into the playstation network to play online you can only play offline and I have a brand new ps3 they really need to fix this problem.
