Thank you very much.
A PC update would be great too. There are so many problem that need to be fixed in the PC version.

What about PC version ?

But this is just great! Because it shows that you aren't dead under the development

Keep it up

That's great! It really was time for this! But I still can't upload new replays to the Driver Club. My account is full of never appeared replays that I' can't delete :-(

Good to see continued support- I just have three questions:

1: Will this patch come to PCs further down the road?

2: Can you elaborate on what you mean by "Improved gameplay balancing in Tag mode by reducing tag car performance under certain conditions"? -Does this mean the Tag car no longer gets a boost ability? I sure hope so...

3: Finally, are there any plans to fix the 'spark flying across the screen' glitch that occasionally happens in Film Director replays on the first frame of a camera change?

Downloaded the update but I keep seeing same cars on splitscreen, anyone?

[adam-pelikan]

Can u tell me when ubi will add corvete cop for online takedown and new getaway cars new routes

[LCPDCV]

Still no ASYMS or Monaco copcar, and the traffic pattern fix sucks. You have to quit to main menu so it can load another predefined set of vehicles from another chapter. It should randomize itself every time you enter freedrive or exit a garage.

Many thanks for the info LCPDCV, hope there are more of this awsome fixes and improvements.

What, no PC version?

Meh, I lost interest in this game a long time ago. It's clearly a console game, with extremely dumbed down features/graphics, and lack of care for the pc version... just not worth my time.
