In this thread, we will discuss everything about the Community Patch, so check all the information carefully so you can know everything about the Patch, and how to give your valuable hints and help in the best way possible!

1) About the Patch:
This Patch will fix several known issues (Bugs) that Need for Speed™ Most Wanted currently has. It will also unlock several hidden features and make important improvements to the original version, such as vehicles performance and many other aspects.
2) Features:
Currently confirmed features:
A) AI Vehicles Fix, which means that you will be able to drive almost all AI vehicles without making the game crash to desktop!
B) All Non-AI vehicles and some of the AI vehicles will use the Correct Engine and Turbo Sounds they should use, according to the available engine and turbo sounds in the game, some of them will use engine sounds that were not used in the original game.
C) All Bonus Cars and some of the Police Vehicles will Appear in Races as Racers!
D) Infinite strength of some vehicles and objects Will be Removed, so no more moving walls nor objects that are impossible to move!
E) Hidden Camera Views Unlocked, and they are properly adjusted so you can use the most appropiated camera view for all vehicles!
F) New Traffic Cars added to Rockport City traffic, they are arranged in a better way now.
G) Several Minor Fixes, like adjustments to the ride height of some cars, handling stats, and more!
H) You will be able to enjoy all features of the Patch without MW Mod Loader!
I) Your Mods will be able to Override the Changes Made by the Patch, just like before applying the Patch, so it's non-MW Mod Loader-friendly and Modder-friendly at the same time!
J) All 10 Police Pursuit Levels will be unlocked!
K) All 101 Cars will be available to be bought in Car Lots and acquired in My Cars menu!!
L) All names of Non-AI Cars will be corrected!
M) Most Traffic Vehicles and some Undercover Police Vehicles will be paintable!
3) What the Patch can fix at this moment:
-Major fixes in the performance of some of the vehicles with bugs in their performance.
-Many general settings.
-Many other aspects related to VLTEdit.
-Tune and improve the default engine via patch scripts.
-Drive the hidden BMW E3 E46.
-Customize the BMW M3 GTR E46 ALMS (MW Hero's car) normally.
4) What the Patch can't fix/make (Yet):
-Crashes to desktop and "vanishing cars" issues because of bad memory management the original game has, when Mods are used.
-Completely fix the handling of all Traffic Vehicles, since they all use the same adjustments.
-Allow the player to fly the RPD Helicopter.
-Disable unnecessary LODs (Levels of Detail) of cars, and force all vehicles to use only 1 LOD to increase memory performance.
-Prevent that the game makes the front wheels disappear. The "wheels vanishing" measure makes impossible so far to make open-wheel car Mods (Formula 1 cars, for example) to work properly.
-Other aspects I forgot to mention, and other aspects that are logically impossible to solve.
5) Patch limitations:
At the moment, the Patch can only fix issues related to VLTEdit, other major fixes require advanced knowledge in Reverse Engineering to be solved, so if you have good skills in Reverse Engineering or you know someone who has them, tell him/her about the Patch so he/she can help us to fix those issues.
6) Fixes in progress:
-Performance fixes for all vehicles whose performance can be fixed.
-Many Performance fixes.
-Totally fix the hidden BMW M3 E46.
-And more!

I will post all featured contents with their respective authors' names here, feel free to give any constructive criticism and feedbacks, as long as they are useful to improve the contents and obviously, the Patch.
8) Installation method:
-It will be through an Installer, since the Patch won't require any patch scripts and the amount of fixes will be high, in any case, it will be totally secure.
-You will need to have your game correctly patched to 1.3 Version.
9) Frequently Asked Questions:
Q) Will the Patch require a specific .exe?
A- No, the Patch does not touch the .exe file at all, so you can breath in relief.
Q) Does it require to have the Black Edition?
A- Due to the big amount of changes, there is a possibility that the Black Edition of MW can be a requirement, but in any case, we're working in a workaround for this issue. However, you do need to have your game updated to the version 1.3.
Q) Will you need a new Save Game?
A- Unfortunately, yes, but the Patch will include 100% Savegames so you don't have to play the game again if you don't want to, but I highly recommend you to play the game from the beginning, because you will have a new experience with MW!
Q) Will the Patch fix, at least, the majority of the bugs?
A- Everything will highly depend on the number of people that work in the Patch, and their expertise level.
-More questions will be added, feel free to make all Patch-related questions, as long as they have anything to do with the Patch, and their purpose is to solve logic doubts.
10) Ways in which you can help the Development Team:

and good luck. also. since you guys could make AI paths could you add a Blacklist #16 race? I'm serious. Maybe you could make a Blacklist #16 Boss race with Rog's Mustang. And also TRY to recreate the Drag Race with Mia. That'd be insanely AWESOME 
lmao
