NFS World Beta

:lol:

Don't worry, it's fine. I'm already downloading SP3. It's always easier to blame it all on EA :lol:.

OT: What's the difference between SP2 and SP3? Anything important?

Nothing that shakes the foundations. It's mostly just a bunch of security improvements and hotfixes.
 
is it all one city or do you have the famous canyon from carbon linking rockport and palmount?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :mad::mad::mad:!!!

Ok, got the SP3, got the Firewall exception, and this piece of 🤬 still doesn't work. Any other ideas? :indiff:
 
Did as that post said. Uninstalled NFS:W, Rebooted, Re-downloaded all the 700MB of NFS:W, Re-installed the 2.9MB patch...and guess what...STILL SHUTS IT SELF!!!

I've had enough, as far as I concern EA can shove this beta, and all the latest NFS's up their...🤬. They just can't do anything right. Anything, not even a misere beta.

Seems like the same ****, new package. At least shift was heading in the right direction. When will they learn?

Never. And I'm glad I told them that in their faces.

Me on EA Forums
My problem is that after I download the 2.9MB patch, and after I click "Play" the program just crashes. I tried updating to Windows SP3, still happens. Tried allowing NFS:W in my firewall as an excepction, still happens. Tried doing what the first post in this thread says, and after another wasted afternoon of download, this thing still crashes.

EA, apparently you can't even pull out a beta without critical glitches. Soooooooooo useless...As far as I'm concerned you can take me out of the program if it's going to be as terribly made and as useless during all the beta period. Come on, if my PC isn't able to take the game why did you made me run a check of its specs and accepted me into the program to later give me 700MB of crashing failure?

I just wish GT5 didn't took so long to release. If I had such game in my hands I wouldn't be wasting my time with EA...

*Kazunori Yamauchi dancing to the sound of MC Hammer's "Cant Touch This"*. Just face it EA, you're out. Pro-Street was the last decent, fun, working game, all the rest has been rubbish.

Sorry for being so annoying now, I'll stop ;).
 
The lag and frame rate drop is killing me. For maybe thirty or forty seconds, the frame rate is fine at 30+, then it drops to single digits for about the same amount of time and the process just repeats itself. I have it on low graphics, windowed mode, and lowest resolution. It's possible my laptop doesn't like servers with thousands of people on them.
 
It gets to the point where you get over the ridiculous cop chases that seem to envelop the entire game taking away most of the fun. I'm not going to lie, the maps have been fantastic from underground 2 onwards, but enough is enough. There's only so many ridiculously long cop chases one can put up with before the game gets taken out of the machine and sent back to the store. Atleast with High Stakes, they made running from the police fun.

Its sad that Underground 2 was the last enthralling NFS.
 
I got accepted since Friday and got to level 10 in two days. There were glitches in the beta like for example, the time I use the nitrous and my car starts to roll uncontrollably. The only glitch I find amusing is getting to the bus station by the gas station in Rockport. Things have gone short. I only been on the beta for two days and I got the BMW M3 GTR to look like the hero car from Need For Speed Most Wanted. It's fun racing against online players, but still, the game is not done yet.

I am waiting for the next beta and I'll let you know some more.
 
I just got the email for the next round of beta testing.
I'll post pics, maybe a vid, and my experiences after the footy!

I can't participate because my laptop is getting fixed and the computer I'm on can't play it. Have fun everyone who's in the beta.
 
Apparently EA don't want me to participate after all...
At the very first screen after you click any button to continue, where you select a character and type your name, it freezes. I hit next or select a character it freezes and goes to the desktop.
Any ideas?
I'm on Win7 64 bit
 
So supposedly another Beta session started at 10 am this morning. I'm pretty annoyed as gmail says they sent me the email 20 hours ago, so I haven't had time to do it. It ends Sunday but I'm going to the Carlisle Ford Nationals so I'm giving this one a miss

i got this email but i'm already on the beta so someone here can have it if they want.

if someone does take it and you still want a code they are giving them away over at http://www.fileplanet.com
 
I have just submitted for a sub-forum to be made for World as it is set for release on July 20th

On here?

If anything it will just get a prefix(Jordan is moving away from sub-forums) and this forum will just get renamed "Need for Speed Series" or something like that, first it will have to have sufficient discussion though.
 
:mad::mad::mad::mad:
OMFG!!
I got accepted into the beta, but I'm in the hassle of completely changing my email address... so I didn't realise until two minutes ago!
Gah! I had over a week to play it, and I've gotta cram it in to like two days!
I'm so pissed!
 
Never. And I'm glad I told them that in their faces.

Look. It's a BETA. Get over it. Obviously certain peoples set-ups aren't going to work, I'm sure that's made pretty clear when you sign up.

And Pro-Street was terrible. Just terrible.

On the PS2, it was. I saw it some 7th-Gen gameplay on Youtube and got a little jealous. The PS2 takes a gazillion years to save and load, and the frame rates suck 🤬. As do the controls...
Other than that, it's quite good :lol:

On-topic, I've download NFS World (my PC prob'ly won't handle it, though :P) and I'm ready to update it and click "Update" and it gets stuck on "Verification Complete!".. and that's it, if I wait long enough, an error comes up... expect an edit to see what the error message is...


EDIT: I guess I can't tell you what the error message is... because it was working! :lol:
