Hey guys,

It seems the V1.3 patch is out.I downloaded it but am clueless as to how it needs to be installed.

Can someone help me out ? :huh:
 
Hmm, if its a cumulative patch it should install stand alone, otherwise you would need 1.1, and 1.2 patches installed.

Or else, if you really are a poor person like us, you need to look at some megagames site *cough*
 
i dont know about NFS carbon patch but knowing EA it will be simple executable file. double click and it will patch the game automatically.
 
@ Funky,had it been so straight forward,why would i ask here ?

Comon man i aint that dumb also.....lol
 
Got this info from the thread link i posted:

When the DOS prompt first appeared, I thought there was something wrong. After all, most patches these days offer their own, colorful installer that allows you to watch the patching process in a window with a completion bar or something. This DOS prompt was very...juvenile. I thought my computer had froze and was on my way to ctrl-alt-del-ing my way out of it until I realized that the hard driver was spinning like mad. I thought, "Huh, maybe the patch is working. Who knows?" and I just let it run.

After what seemed like an hour, the DOS thingy dissappeared and the game was successfully patched.

hope this helps :)
 
hope this is of some help to u. source -nfsunlimited
The much awaited Need For Speed Carbon PC Patch 1.3 was released today and can be downloaded from the official EA site.

According to the Readme document, the patch addresses the following issues:

* Addresses issue with the online authentication screen
* Allows for consistent use of EA Messenger
* Updates to address a leaderboard issue during Online Pursuit Tag
* Allows for full friend searching functionality
* Updates to address launching issues between XP and 2K
Note that the 1.3 Patch is a requirement for online play.

Installation Notes

I have tested the patch and can verify that it works correctly. If applied correctly the game loading screen will show version 1.3 in the upper right corner as the game loads.

To install the patch, download the file appropriate to your region and game version, then double click the downloaded file. A block 'DOS box' will appear on screen with some text crediting the patch development to Pocket Soft Inc.

Do not close the DOS box manually!

Despite the fact that it does not give any feedback, you will see from your hard disk activity indicator that things are actually happening. The whole process will take around a minute, and then the DOS box will close automatically. At this point, your game is patched.

lol..when i try to run that patch,

it opens a dos window which closes itself the next second

and creates a file called 'regini.txt'

i'm as clueless as darky. :lol:
 
I hav the same problem, on running the patch, i get the error message "Patch terminated by Custom Action" ...

I dropped the idea of patching the game, as it only addresses only Online Gameplay issues and some users on other forums hav reported, that this patch makes the game crash more...

However, if u still want to apply the patch, try to d/l Euro Multilaguage Patch, one two guys have reported that it had worked for them, also restore the cracked .exe with orignal one b4 applying the patch...
