Submitted by NFSDrew on Tue, 2012-01-31 09:07

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

To get the patch simply login to Origin on your PC and it will automatically download / install the patch.

How do you get the FPS to display on your gaming screen? I have an 4870x2 OC'd and can't confirm if the patch actually took when V-sync is off, because I can't get an FPS meter in the game.

Thanks,

When I race the "Tunnels and Trains" and I beat the train, the factoryhall, and enter the road with explosives, And I hit the last line of explosives, the game crashes. This is repeatable.

Furthermore: can't you please remove this origin or is there a tool to do it myself? One game uses windows live, another one Steam, another Gameshadow or gameSpy, And now there's origin. When I say it has to start hidden it always shows on startup. It slows down my machine and the startup of the game. I didn't ask for it but the game won't install without.

And last but not least, you guys just have to work on your interface. It has never been any good. When I want to exit it askes if I realy want to and I have to go through different menu's to realy quit. Just add an option to exit to windows immidiately. And why doesn't it remember what I was doing the last time? When I want to race a single race I have to start the game with an almost unskippable movie. I have to go to gameplay>settings to check if my hotkeys are still okay, If I skip this they wont be. Then I have to click back through several menu's and choose a race 5 times to the left, click down four times, race against the trains and let the game crash, and start all over again. It costs me more time to start the just crashed race then to actually race it!

Thank God you finally removed the 30fps cap, sort of.
The mute option is just stupid, why do you make the option like that? why we have to hear the annoying voice of the other players in the first place?? Why is it impossible to just defaultly turn it off?? How hard can it be?
Playing recent NFS games is really, not bad, but annoying. Starting with Undercover, in which everything just goes wrong. Then Shift, in which input lag is just tragic. Then Hot pursuit, have to say it's the best NFS game in recent 5 years, but is made with little engine sound and is still not solved. Then Shift II, in which the input lag is even more ridiculous. Then is the Run, too many problems to complain about. We are car lovers and NFS lovers and really want to see a game, that will make us feel we are not in the wrong era. Thank you EA, for bringing us such a wonderful title. But it just can be better.
