Submitted by NFSKirk on Tue, 2011-05-03 13:55

Purpose:
The purpose of this maintenance window is to deploy server / a game patch to Need for Speed World. Please see Release Notes below.  

Date:
May 3, 2011

Duration(s):
Start: 2pm (14:00) PDT - 5pm (17:00) EST - 10pm (22:00) GMT

Affected Users:
During the maintenance window, the servers will be offline and users will not be able to log in and play Need for Speed World. Players who are already logged in and playing NFS World will be disconnected from the server and therefore disconnected from the game.

Bug Fixes:
-Made improvements to the game client’s stability
-Fixed an issue that caused an insufficient SpeedBoost error to appear when purchasing an item that has the same value as the player’s wallet balance
-Fixed an issue that caused an insufficient SpeedBoost error to appear when attempting to redeem gifts
-Fixed an issue with VOIP that caused microphone input to be voice active upon booting, despite ‘Push-to-talk’ being the default setting
-Fixed an issue that prevented the ‘Cops Taken Out’ value from counting after destroying a cop car with a Pursuit Breaker
-Fixed an issue that prevented the Friends chat option from functioning
-Fixed an issue that prevented the VOIP HUD from appearing when two players invite each other to a Group
-Fixed some cut off text on a number of screens

Adding new speedboost stuff and causing a great unbalance compared to cash stuff just encourages people to hack and cheat. Once again, <em>WAY TO GO.<em>

OMG...
I must say this, although it is not related to this post... My NFS acc was stolen yesterday and I went berserk...
Later, I discovered EA customer support and by their chat helpdesk returned my previously stolen account. In this way I must compliment EA customer service. It is really working (in first I thought I'm talking to a chat bot or something)!!! GOOD WORKD EA, If only everything else would work like that!!!
