Need for Speed Underground 1.3 patch problem

[patsernr1]

Hi Guys,

I have a real problem with the new patch or update of NFS:U 1.3

The filter effect that similates the speed (the surroundings are getting blur) seems not to work. Instead of blur it gets dark.

Also my controller does not seems to work properly anymore, the buttons are resetted every time. I now stick to the 1.2 patch but that doesn't allow me to go online.

Anybody experiencing the same problem. And is it the update of EA or the patch that makes these errors.

Thanks
