Fixes Coming Tomorrow...

There will be a fix coming tomorrow, Thursday the 30th of April, for the bugs listed underneath. These are listed exactly as they were on Criterion's site. Please note that the patch will be SEPARATE from the Cops and Robbers pack, and that you will not have to pay for it.



GT Nighthawk PlayStation 3 Trophy

Something that only became apparent once the Legendary Cars went live is that if you already had the 2x Boost Chain Trophy it was impossible to get the GT Nighthawk one. We're pleased to say this is now fixed and everyone will be able to earn this Trophy once the update goes live tomorrow.



Game freezing on the start line of an online ranked race

We had a number of reports about this though we have had difficulty reproducing it in-house. However, we did find one possible issue which we have now fixed and we very much hope this fixes the issue some players have been reporting. We're monitoring the situation and will make improvements where we can.



Not being able to select purchased vehicles in the Junkyard

In the majority of cases we found the cause of this was that people had purchased the vehicles but not downloaded AND installed them.Correctly downloading and installing the vehicles fixed the issue. However there was a rare bug seen with a handful of customers who achieved their Elite license during a specific period of time last year which meant that some of the vehicles had indeed disappeared. We have now fixed this issue and that fix appears in the new update.



Smashes and billboards resetting after playing the Party Mode

This was a problem that occasionally happened when you started a Party then re-entered Paradise City.
They weren't actually reset. When you restarted the game everything was back to normal. However, it was annoying and we are pleased to say it has now been fixed.



To get these fixes you must download version 1.8 once it is released on April 30th 2009. Criterion will post a story as soon as the update is live.

When you boot Burnout Paradise tomorrow, if you are online, the 1.8 update should automatically download and install. Once it has done so, all the bugs will (hopefully) be fixed.

Sometimes the Xbox 360 will not do this, so you should head over to the Xbox Live Marketplace in order to get it. You will not be able to play online if you do not do so.

This is an exciting fix and game pack. I will hopefully be able to buy it by the weekend, but I may not be able to. As I said before, the prices for the Cops and Robbers mode (Not the patch) are $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99 / 800MS. See you online!
