It's been a long time in the making but today we're very happy to say that Need for Speed The Run patch is now available.  Here are some highlights of the updates in the patch, but for a full list visit the Need for Speed "Downloads" page:

- 30 FPS cap is disabled when v-sync is set to OFF in advanced display settings
- Tweaked reset behavior for a number of tracks in The Run where resets seemed too close to the main race route
- When players go off track, they will be reset back onto the track instead of at the last checkpoint.  Crashes will still result in a reset to the last checkpoint.
- Added Quick Match option from multiplayer menu
– Players now have the option to mute VOIP of other players in multiplayer sessions
– Reduced unrealistic behaviors when multiplayer opponents drive off-road or collide with world objects
- Autolog Friends now displays whether a friend is online, joinable or offline in player badge

We're also very excited to announce that not only will PC players get all the updates; they'll also get all the Signature Edition Booster Pack cars!  You'll be able to take on The Run, challenge Series or your friends in multiplayer with these signature rides:

- Puppet Chevy El Camino SS
- Fatlace Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R
- Venom Nissan 370Z
- Scoundrel Subaru Impreza WRX STi
- Victory BMW M3 Sport Evolution
- Nicolas Mazda RX-7
- Mega Nissan GT-R (R35)
- Falken Porsche 911 GT3
- Conroy Ford GT

I think the patch made it worse cops are insane in easy mode finished easy mode before the path 19 resets over 30 after the patch and the challenge section is harder after the patch There should of been no change in what I just said to this game but there is. Has anyone else notice this???
