1.3 Patch

Post by skylineguy »

If I use the official 1.3 patch will I have to start the whole game over or can I just continue from when I last saved?

The patch won't change or remove your savegame data.

Nope, it won't destroy your saved games.

Not sure if you've completed the game yet, so I'll post this warning:

*** SPOILER AHEAD ***
However, it does introduce brand new bugs into the game, including not driving the BMW M3GTR at the end of the game, using your last used career car instead - which for me, is one of the best things about this patch!
*** END SPOILER ***

he means the patch or "bug" allows you to use your car you used to beat razor (which is better) to do the last pursuit.

The "bug" only occurs if you play with a savegame that was created on the 1.2 version of Most Wanted.

For me, I've found the bug occurs every 2nd game.

The first play through, I completed with the BMW, then the 2nd one I did the final pursuit in my Lambo Murcielago. I've just completed a 3rd playthrough, and again was given the BMW - which was a shame, as I was really enjoying driving my maxxed McLaren SLR - BMW handled like a Routemaster Bus in comparison :D

It's not essential for the single player modes, and I don't really know what it fixes. It seems (at least on my setup) to be more flakey than 1.2!! Many more random crashes to desktop and slow downs for no discernable reason.

The only reason I patched was to be able to run the CameraHack that is available on this site, so I could get a "behind the steering wheel" view.

It is only essential as far as I am aware if you want to play online (at least, you normally have to have the latest patched version to be able to go on line in my experience).

Well since I don't play this game online I won't bother with the patch then. I was hopeing it fixed those blurred tailights when you hit the boost but no big deal really.
Thanks for the info.
