v0.1.10 — full widescreen fix

Update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.10.dmg below (your saves are kept).

• Full widescreen fix: HD intro, widescreen movies, rain drops, water reflections, map cursor and more.
• Non-English copies start in their own language.

v0.1.9 — smoother performance

Update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.9.dmg below (your saves are kept).

• Smoother performance: new Render resolution setting (F10 → Graphics), Balanced by default.
• Online modes (Quick Match, Custom Match) removed from the main menu.
• Skip intro and Hide online modes are now on the F10 Mods tab.

v0.1.8 — character model fix

Update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.8.dmg below (your saves are kept).

• Fixed torn character models in cutscenes (spiky skirts, neck seams).

v0.1.7 — start-up black screen fixed

Install or update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.7.dmg below. Updating keeps your saves and settings and is much quicker than the first build.

Fixed

• Black screen at start-up (no picture and no sound, usually on a first launch): when the window lost and regained focus during the switch to full screen, the two changes could reach the game in the wrong order, so it believed it was in the background and paused itself. They now always arrive in order.

New

• Skip intro movies (F10 → Graphics, off by default): starts without the EA logo and the street-racing warning. Story movies still play.

Known issues

• The online menus are still shown; say No to connecting.
• If the game ever stops responding at a particular point, please open an issue saying where, and attach ~/Library/Application Support/NFS Carbon/Logs/latest.log.

v0.1.6 — crew key for Mac keyboards

Install or update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.6.dmg below. Updating keeps your saves and settings and is much quicker than the first build.

New

• Crew key for Mac keyboards. Activate Crew Member now also works on Right Option, the key just right of the space bar (shown as "Right Alt" in Controls). The PC default, Right Ctrl, doesn't exist on Mac keyboards. New profiles and Restore Defaults get it, and so do existing saves that still have the original crew key; a key you chose yourself is kept.

Known issues

• The online menus are still shown; say No to connecting.
• If the game ever stops responding or closes at a particular point, please open an issue saying where, and attach ~/Library/Application Support/NFS Carbon/Logs/latest.log.

v0.1.5 — safehouse crash and keyboard fixes

Install or update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.5.dmg below. Updating keeps your saves and settings and is much quicker than the first build.

Fixed

• Crash on the first safehouse visit in the story. A floating-point setting that Windows' Direct3D resets automatically wasn't being reset, so a harmless maths error ended the game. This may also prevent other random crashes of the same kind.
• Picture could freeze after switching apps (Cmd+Tab) in full screen while the game kept running. It now recovers on its own.
• Keyboard bindings: letter keys now show their names in Options → Controls, so rebinding works as expected. Mac keyboards have no Right Ctrl, so rebind Activate Crew Member to a key you like.

Known issues

• The online menus are still shown; say No to connecting.
• If the game ever stops responding or closes at a particular point, please open an issue saying where, and attach ~/Library/Application Support/NFS Carbon/Logs/latest.log.

v0.1.4 — career hang after the Cross chase fixed

Install or update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.4.dmg below. Updating keeps your saves and settings and is much quicker than the first build.

Fixed

• Career no longer hangs after the first Cross chase. After the chase and its cutscene the game stopped responding: it called a game function the translation had missed. Update if you're stuck there; your save is fine.

New

• Widescreen rear-view mirror and picture-in-picture. They keep their proper shape on wide screens instead of being stretched, and the picture-in-picture lines up with the HUD. This is new and hasn't been checked on every screen yet, so please report if either looks off.

Known issues

• The online menus are still shown; say No to connecting.
• If the game ever stops responding at a particular point, please open an issue saying where, and attach ~/Library/Application Support/NFS Carbon/Logs/latest.log. It names what's missing.

v0.1.3 — mouse cursor fix

Install or update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.3.dmg below. Updating keeps your saves and settings and is much quicker than the first build.

Fixed

• Mouse cursor in the menus now reaches the right edge of the screen. On widescreen it used to stop about three quarters of the way across.
• Controller icons no longer appear on the career map's filter bar when you're using the keyboard.

Known issues

• The rear-view mirror is not widescreen yet.
• The online menus are still shown; say No to connecting.

v0.1.2 — new app icon

Install or update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.2.dmg below. Updating keeps your saves and settings and is much quicker than the first build.

New

• A sharp app icon made from the game's own Need for Speed Carbon logo, read from your game files when the app is built. The old one was the exe's 32×32 icon blown up.

Since v0.1.0

• Level of Detail: Maximum now stays Maximum after a restart.
• The Brightness slider (Options → Video) now changes the picture.

Known issues

• Rarely, the very first launch stays black after the EA logo: quit (Cmd+Q) and open it again.
• The rear-view mirror is not widescreen yet.
• The online menus are still shown; say No to connecting.

If macOS keeps showing the old icon after updating, run killall Dock in Terminal.

v0.1.1 — detail level and brightness fixes

Fixes since v0.1.0. Install or update with NFS-Carbon-Setup-v0.1.1.dmg below (an update keeps your saves and settings, and is much quicker than the first build).

Fixed

• Level of Detail: Maximum now stays Maximum after restarting the game. Every launch was counted as a first launch, which re-ran the game's hardware detection and set it back to High.
• Brightness slider (Options → Video) now changes the picture. It did nothing before. New in this release and only lightly tested so far; please report if it misbehaves.

Known issues

• Rarely, the very first launch stays black after the EA logo: quit (Cmd+Q) and open it again.
• The rear-view mirror is not widescreen yet.
• The online menus are still shown; say No to connecting.
