Fixes coming your way!
11:00 Wednesday 29 April 2009
We're always working to improve the Burnout Paradise experience wherever possible and with the release of the Cops and Robbers Pack this week we have been able to release an update which addresses some problems that have been reported to us.

These include:

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 when it becomes available on April 30th 2009. We will post a news story as soon as it is live on each console (we don't control what time the new update is made live - that's down to Microsoft and Sony).

Once it becomes available, provided you are signed in online, when you boot Burnout Paradise the 1.8 update should automatically download and install. Once it has successfully installed the game will start and the fixes will be live.
If you are playing on Xbox 360 and it does not update you can always download the latest version from the Game Add-ons section of Xbox Marketplace.


It's impossible with a game as large and as online as Paradise to know what issues may crop up or to find and fix every single problem but we do our best. We appreciate the reports we get from our loyal customers and work as fast as we can to fix any unforeseen issues. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

It is not necessary to purchase the Cops and Robbers pack to get this new update - but we very much appreciate it if you do!

Wahey
Not that any of those fixes mean anything to me, because I don't have any DLCs, but I'm glad because it brings us one step closer to version 2.0, which I'm guessing is going to be Big Surf Island's update.

1.8 update is apparently live.

[sunnybacon]

I just started up the game but it didn't ask me to update to 1.8
I checked the in-game store and Cops and Robbers isn't there, however on the Playstation Store it is.
Can anyone else confirm that the update hasn't gone live yet, or has it gone live and it's just mine that's not updating?

Downloading right now, but isn't a USA version so they may get the update activated until later.

Oh yeah, didn't think about that
That's probably why then, USA probably won't get the update rolled out until later on their time.
