Well, at least they released the game on time and didn't delay it 10 times like most companies do.
The info says it will fix the rear view mirror. Is it in the game? I couldn't ifnd it.

The mirror thing - just seen it - when you sometimes see only one side mirror when racing. I noticed in online game on a Neon.

Oh, no, don't have a mirror. It's that sometimes only one is visible when you flip a car and than drive again. Also, if you look at one of the loading screens they have (it's an IMPREZA with perlescent paint job, green looking) - it's also there. Funny they'd put a screen that shows a bug as a start up! :?

I have a problem with the new patch...when i enable both light glow and motion blurring my screen turns black when it is supposed to blur and only the street lights can be seen.

my second problem is that when i press the go online button it says my connection has been lost or something like that and something is wrong with my isp. If something was wrong with my internet than how could i be posting this? :?

If you're talking about the problem with NOS, it has nothing to do with the drivers. It's EA's Christmas gift to us - a new bug :)

i am staying with previous patch. forget this! when they come up with a fix for that - I'll sing up. I play now (just sorted a grafx prob) on full everything at 1280*1024 and when the patch affects the look of the game (let's face it - the visuals are the best that this game has) - than what's the point! I can't play online yet, but it's not like I can't wait for another month.
Just remembered what other recent game had so many problems - FREELANCER by M$. Same crap, great and stuning game - and tons of buds and glitches. I dont' think there ever will be a bug free game! Grrrr.

I have same problem with 1.3.0 patch, with the screen going black when using nitro with motion blur activated. I wrote to ea technical support about it, and another problem I had with my controller. B :evil: ut I only recieved an answer to my controller problem. No reply regarding the faulty motion blur in the new patch.
If you are not going online do not install new patch!!!
