Default [NFS Planet] NFS Shift: Patch Details announced



Quote:
The first details about the next upcoming patch for Need for Speed Shift were released. The patch concentrates on bugfixes, stability- and performance-improvements, as well as an improved car handling. PC users will be happy to hear about the performance optimizations due to the improved dynamic vertex buffer usage, as well as improved support for ATi graphics cards. Many crashes were fixed and you won't see the weird "black sky phenomenon" any more.

Apart from bugfixes and improvements the patch increased the maximum number of online players from 8 to 12 drivers. ( we already wrote about this)

The SP is awesome as always The multiplayer is insane.The game is a lot more balanced than COD4 and feels a lot better. The maps in MP are awesome. The game is totally worth the $60.

4870 X3 got to do with it. I get 35-50fps and it feel very laggy or its the game engine itself. Also i have Forza 3 for 360 and when i compare it to this game it looks much better and is more enjoyable.

Forgot to fix that. I'm back to the X2 only now. My board is crippling the second cards performance. But even on my X2 I've never had the problems I've seen listed about the net.
Luck?
