PS3? Because it did that for me too. Its super annoying.evil costanza said:

The same issue exists with Halo 3 because it caches to the HDD. It seems that it's faster to go with the DVD without an install because it can deal with both at the same time. When you install it, and it refers to the gamedata AND cache you'll slow things down.
I never had my smashes and billboards reset after buying the party pack.

I didn't really look thoroughly, but how do you actually restart an event?

I'm using a save created after the PS3 trophy patch and smashed boards stayed smashed. Try uploading your save to http://www.burnoutteamrocks.com/evil costanza said:

Are you sure they've been reset? The new smashed billboards look just like the intact ones, only with a brown, non-flickering part in the middle, so I can see how it would be confusing.
Also, playing the Party Pack does indeed reset all billboards and gates afterwards, but I think/hope it only happens if you're 100% on them already...

...hate me...
Note to self: don't get the party pack before getting 100% on smashes and billboards :lol
I'm now at about 12 wins, 1 mugshot and 1 invite to a friend away from getting the Platinum trophy
A bit easy getting Platinum on this game don't you think? You only have to complete a small percentage of a lot of events, don't have to get all the cars, smash all the billboards etc. You don't even have to get all the in-game achievements (I don't remember how they're called). Usually in other games you have to do every-fucking-thing to get Platinum.
This patch was pure bliss. Such a small thing but it really got me back into the game.

The Trophy patch was released in September 2008, meaning most early adopters had already (almost) completed the game, and since trophies were not retroactive, they made them easier than the achievements so that they could be earned without finishing the game 100%.jts said:
Okay, stunt events just went from unbelievably hard to pathetically easy.
It's always been the event I struggled the most with (I probably only completed 2 or 3 of them), and it just seemed impossible to get that many points within 1 and a half minutes after starting in a bad spot on the map. Well, that all changed once I learned you can just tap the boost now and then to make a stunt combo which pretty much lasts forever.
Is that how it's supposed to be played? It kinda breaks the entire event as the timer and start location suddenly doesn't matter at all. On the other hand, it did seem impossible to get a high score quickly on bad locations.
Edit: Also, thank god for event retry. I'm really glad I dropped the game after getting to A license and continued after the patch was released. Being able to instantly retry helps so much and drastically reduces the amount of downtime. Ironically, it also helps me to learn the map since I can quickly drive on the same road over and over.

I find the timer can be abused too much too, even reversing will reset the pie. The count down does speed up over time but by the time it's a threat you are 6+ minutes into a run with quad the score you require to pass, so yes it's fairly broken imo.Sectus said:

Yep, for me it really allows for taking risks that may or may not pan out and if they dont just restart. Awesome addition!
It's been that way long before this update, possibly since the beginning. The designated time is just the limit under which you must start your final combo, i.e. you can't crash after that. What they did change is the speed with which the timer pie goes down. It's much slower now, except online for some reason. Reversing always reset it, as did drifting or smashing a gate.Sectus said:

Yup. Stunt run has always been like that. Which is why I never got why people had problems with it.Sectus said:

Within the last week, I've now clocked in an additional 10+ hours on the 360, and got a PSN and have clocked in another 15+ hours. God damn.
One thing I'm still wondering, will there be more bike events coming? It seems odd that
a)There are only 4 bikes, but a whole menu for it
b)Only 40 events. And none of them with real racing in it.
This also got me thinking: now that Bikes have day and night events, is there anything that's stopping them from making a new add-on that doubles the number of events for night?

I'd like a sequel. Have they ever gone on record as saying when one may come out?
I want the be able to save crash replays like in Skate and have them viewable in a web browser. Plus, you know...have a whole new city to explore.

The thing about the crash and takedown cameras that sucks for me, is that I play on MacbookPro so I have motion blur turned off. So whenever it goes into the already annoying slow motion shot, there is the added annoyance of pausing for a split second and then runs it at a lower framerate because you can't take motion blur off for those sequences.

I'd love to see a new bike pack, and if possible bike racing against the cpu instead of time trial runs.
Do bikes work online btw? and can you race others? I ask this because I can't connect to xbl a university.

Congrats on not releasing this on Steam, EA. Also, it's pretty awesome that your online store seems to think that the only countries that exist in North America are the USA and Canada. High five!

Will the DLC for this game ever stop. This is definitely one of the best games that keeps on giving.

Quick question from a Burnout noob:
Does the Ultimate Box have anything different than the regular version besides the party play? Just trying to figure out which version I should pick up. I don't care about the party play feature very much, so I'm just wondering why I should spend the extra $20 instead of getting the regular version. Is there any other paid DLC included?

Hah, yeah. That was the last one I found too. Road rage I think it was??
After owning the game for over a year, I finally found the last of the gate smashes yesterday. Got the billboards and jumps back in December. Now I just gotta do all the Showtimes and Road Rules. God bless Criterion. Now give us Road Rash!
