x64 Open Beta
This beta runs on retail, and retail-enabled PC versions of Need for Speed: Undercover. This beta adds on a few mods from NFS: Hot Pursuit, namely the Stopwatch mod and NoSage. NFSUC was the only NFS game to have two previous patches, the 1.0 Patch and the 1.5 Patch. With this release the game's credits are removed and replaced by a free patch by Darkc0der.
As this was the only patch version, there are some known issues with the beta. Some menu options are not functional, including the Load Game option, the Leaderboard option, and the Quit option. There is also no offline split-screen functionality. The prologue of the game is also different from the retail version, as the short prologue is replaced by an extended prologue.
This version runs on retail, and retail-enabled PC versions of Need for Speed: Undercover.
