Burnout Paradise v1.0 - Original Disc Pressing (January 22nd, 2008
Full game unpatched.

Burnout Paradise v1.1 - Astaire (Evening of January 22nd, 2008
Minor online update to fix problems discovered during the demo relating to connection and firewall issues.

Burnout Paradise v1.2 - Bogart (April 18th, 2008 for Xbox 360, April 24th, 2008 for PS3)
Top 10 problems reported have been fixed, which consists of the following:

• - PS3 game can crash when a player is taken down and the player that has performed the Takedown leaves the game.
  - The game indefinitely displays "Connecting to Paradise City Servers" if it's having problems pinging the rebroadcast server.
  - Disconnecting the controller before a race begins can mean that race timings can be manipulated with players who didn't cross the line first being awarded the win
  - Repeatedly joining and leaving a game with 8 players can cause the game to hang.
  - Hammering the A (360) or X (PS3) after unlocking a car can cause the game to hang.
  - East Crawford and Watt St achievements can not be achieved if the player goes online and sets road rules before attempting them offline.
  - Audio distortion when using 5.1 / DTS and looking rearwards.
  - Enhanced 360 streaming performance stops instances where the game seems to pause for a second or so.
  - Total time driven in player stats would stick at 145 hours
  - VoIP connection problems with 8 player games.

Game experience enhancements:

• - We fixed Head-on Takedowns as these seemed generally unfair and unrealistic. Unfair low speed Takedowns have now been eradicated.
  - Increase online race timer timeout so players have a greater chance of finishing the race.
  - Fix drifting bug when drifting and boosting there wasn't any real control on the brake so players would grind around the walls of the corners. Getting better control.
  - Boost fix, stabbing the boost has too much of a jerky behaviour in the car handling.
  - Surround sound fix - Centre speaker was 4dB louder, ruining the mix and the speech has now been positioned correctly.
  - Tweak Marked Man gameplay AI, was easy to exploit by driving in reverse.
  - Increase the # of search results returned for online games.
  - Increase Picture Paradise timer so it doesn't kick in so quickly.

Other high priority issues:

• - Some online race start points face the players in the wrong direction
  - Instances where Barrel rolls were not registering correctly in Stunt Run
  - Instances in Stunt Run where players would crash but not wreck & score multipliers by driving away
  - Fixed instances where the counting of Boost Chains would drop out
  - Some instances where Revenge Rivalries desync & don't get fixed until players are updated online.
  - Some instance where the Host couldn't change the game access if the game was created through an invite.
  - Achievements, Awards and Challenges numbers sometimes not updated if the player didn't leave the game cleanly
  - Online challenge issues where the challenge couldn't be completed if it was started at the exact time that a player left the game.
  - Incorrect rivalry updates when European players played against English or Japanese players. Online connection issues
  - Force timeout if the 360 gets stuck on "Connecting to Paradise City Servers" - NAT error
  - Rich presence on 360 didn't change correctly when there is a change in the game parameters.
  - Instances where Friends were not being displayed on the mini map.

Gameplay Questions

Q. How do I barrel roll?
A. Spread out throughout Paradise City are split ramps where one side of the ramp is higher than the other. Going off these ramps with one set of wheels on the higher portion and one set on the lower portion will send your car into a barrel roll if done properly. You can control the spin of the roll using the left analog stick, which is very helpful for leveling out your car to avoid a wreck or to spin even faster. YouTube - Barrel Rolls

Q. How do I power park?
A. You first need to find some cars parked on the side of the road with a gap of about two or three car lengths between them. (A few common places to go include the tunnel on E. Crawford, just before the jump on Casey Pass and the northern portions of Angus Wharf.) While driving, you must hit the handbrake and try to align yourself with the cars and the curb. I personally find it easier to not go too fast and to try to leave about a lane of space between myself and the parking space before attempting it. YouTube - Burnout Paradise - How to Power Park (Parallel Parking)

A. Follow this video guide from Criterion
