Electronic Arts has let loose a new Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit patch that should fix a lot of the problems being experienced by those who have ATI Radeon X1300, X1550 and X1800 graphics cards on their gaming rigs. According to the announcement, the fixes in patch v1.030 account for 47 percent of the top problems being reported by Hot Pursuit players.

The new patch also corrects issues with Intel embedded graphics chipsets such as the Intel GMA 500, Intel GMA 600 and Intel GMA X3000 which are running older graphics drivers. Another crash bug has also been resolved when running on graphics hardware that does not support DirectX Shader Model 3.0.

Here's a list of fixes also included in the update:

Flickering graphics after Alt-Tabbing out of the game and back.
Controller configurations sometimes failing to save correctly.
Steering response dead-zone when playing with steering wheel controllers.
Player car engine audio volume too low.
Some issues with CPU performance.
Rare crash issue when entering the Career map screen.

Finally, fixes aren't the only thing the patch brings. It also addes three new supercars: the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 650-4 Roadster and the Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible Final Edition.
