- Need for Speed Shift Patch 2 plus DLC ready for download
The next patch for Need for Speed: Shift has been released for download. The update to version 1.02 fixes several bugs and improvements.
Need for Speed: Shift - Patch 1.02 and DLC available
EA has released a new patch for Need for Speed: Shift. The update to version 1.02 is now available for PC (and Xbox 360), too. But for the PC edition EA warns to apply the patch to the Steam version of Shift, because errors might be possible it is rather recommended to use the automatic update option of the Steam client. Besides that the publisher also recommends to apply the patch to a "clean” installation of the racing game only - community mods for example should be uninstalled in advance.
Attention: From now on the Online Mode in the PC version in Need for Speed: Shift works with the new patch applied only. EA was forced to take this step because there had been too many cheat tools been used on the PC.
With Patch 1.02 five new cars (Toyota Supra Mk IV, 1967 Shelby GT500, 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, 1969 Dodge Charger R/T and the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T) are integrated into Need for Speed: Shift. Furthermore there is a new game mode called Team Racing and the maximal number of players per race has been increased from 8 to 12.
You can download patch 1.02 from the official Need for Speed website. There are two versions of the patch available for the North American version of Nfs: Shift and All Other Languages.
