Burnout Paradise - The Ultimate Box

Bah, I've been getting some crazy stuttering even on all low gfx... :/ Shouldn't be happening even if I do have an old 8800GTS 320mb. Defragging the HD to see if it helps.
 
been playing it some more today but getting so annoyed at the crashes.
Why would they remove traffic checking from the game the slightest touch of anything destroys your car and there are loads of jumps that when you have done the sequence up on going into a wall, normally getting it off sideways and getting ownd in the process. also the recovery from a crash is just as bad i drifted around a long bend and the cars handling was the worst and i got caught on the wall and "crashed" (online race) was 1st place and it sent me 10seconds back down the round to go around the same corner and made me face the other way thanks for that so i lost the race by about 40 seconds.

Big rank i know.

Where is this almighty RESTART feature they "added" in for a race.

- Checking is still in there (use a stronger car). The original Burnout didn't allow you to touch anything :)

- Use a Stunt car for jumps. They don't go sideways.

Gimpy>Get the demo download and we will have a bish bash at it. I seem to recall playing on Grid with you in the little f3000 cars.

I remember that well.

The F3000's were the only cars I liked in Grid, mainly because you could race on Donnington :)

Did they open it up so you could race any cars on any Track?

Anyways, I have Burnout now so dont care :)
 
can you do the crash mode from burnout revenge, where you get points for crashing as many cars as possible, and then ur mate doing the same and comparing points
 
Sharpygsx>I am having the same problem as well. I am adding people from the OCUK burnout paradise list bit by bit. I can see them online. But I can't can't join to them unless I send an invite.

Also unless they are hosting you can't see what their status is if they are playing singleplayer or what part of mp they are playing whether it the freeburn, in a ranked match or whatever.

So it would seem that unless we are hosting and sending out invites individually the friends list is a bit useless really.

crooked i>I don't know what you mean about the crash mode in Burnout revenge as I never played it. But last night while I was playing on Freeburn online I enter showtime (crash mode) and while I was trying to do it, it let me know that Andyburnes had the highest crash score as he is on my buddy list. But he wasn't on the same server as me.

I still can't get use to the open world racing. I am always forever getting lost or just taking the wrong turn completely. When that happens I just go off and drive around aimlessly and I start to lose interest.

I welcome it open world mode as it makes a nice change but would have preferred it for pure racing mode to be a little closed off more. Not to mention I find it tricky to watch the mini map and the sign indicator at the same time.
 
If you log on to the game at load all your scores are sent to friends to try and beat in their own single-player environment. Party Mode has offline pass-the-controller challenges, and there are online ones too.

As for online, you should be able to join your friends if they're on a server. Could have swore I've done that.

Redwings, I suggest you do the Time Road Rules. You really get to know the layout better, and some on/offline races have checkpoints, giving you structure in the open world environment. You may also be able to create your own online checkpoint races, but don't quote me on that.
 
How come there are no sound effects when you pull off events like takedowns, which were present in previous versions of Burnout?

Is there anyone who prefers this game to Burnout 3 or Revenge? Because I would find that hard to believe.
 
I prefer Burnout 3, was more about the crashing....

On another note, a cookie for the 1st person that tells me where the hell save game files are kept on Vista.....

EDIT: COOKIE FOR ME!!! C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise\Save

:D :D

is it possible to easily locate friends in this game without invites?

Was playing a session there now and aside from oddwire i was unable to get a "join game" option with any1 else.

I think it was just a case of no other friend was playing online at that time, and they were doing 1 player stuff.
I could be wrong, but i hope not, since it would suck pretty bad if the join option was only available if the person was actually hosting.
