There are three versions of the patch - with one for the English, French & Mexican version of the game (which was distributed in the US), one for the European version of the game (which was distributed in Europe and other PAL territories), and a final version for French, German & Italian audiences.
The patch weighs in at a measly 9.5MB, and is accompanied with the following statement from taken from the Need For Speed website:
When the game team started working on the patch around Christmas we spent a lot of time talking to the guys on the forums and the fansites to find out what people wanted us to look at the most. The clear message from this was that people thought the frame-rate and difficulty were the key fixes so this is what we focused on.The team working on Need For Speed: Undercover are now working on the downloadable content to the title, which will be out later this year. For more information on Need For Speed: Undercover, check out our review.
When he spoke to me last week Scott [the producer of the game] said that, while patch was mainly focused on improving the frame-rate, his team worked particularly hard to get as many other fixes into it as possible. A great example of this is the new difficulty system for expert gamers. If you've played the game a lot you'll notice that the difficulty level ramps up much earlier than previously making the game much more of a challenge.
