you can see what game version you have by looking at the version.txt
with notepad.
it seems to update the 3d support as well as some stuff in FEdata
folder,
i'd like to know more if anyone knows anything

Does this mean I was right that NFS:PU is just an update to the horrid NFS
III and the a-bit-better-than horrid NFS: HS?

No, no, no, no, no, NO! NFSPU ranks right up there with Viper Racing,
DTR, and, yes, it even approaches the GPL end of the spectrum in the
realism department. Take a little time to read a few threads and
educate yourself on what the general opinion is here on RAS before you
sprain something jumping to conclusions. Then, once you've got
yourself up to speed, bite your tongue -- but only after you eat those
words, of course. <G>

That is just a no cd patch. It doesn't fix or add anything to the
game. Other than the ability to play without the cd (quite handy to
have though)

HOWEVER, I was slightly dismayed last night when I was watching a
replay and a cop performed one of those NFS:HS "slides" where the car
moves laterally without turning its wheels. At least that doesn't
seem to happen very often. I think the cops in the game are the ones
that break physical rules most often-- thankfully it doesn't seem to
happen with competitors in racing mode.

NFSPU easily ranks up there with Viper Racing and DTR in the physics
department, which places it at the GPL end of the spectrum. SCGT
should have done such a sweet job in the physics department -- if it
had, it might still be on my hard drive.
BTW, are you sure you're not confusing "difficult" with "realistic"?
NFSPU certainly lacks in the "difficulty" department to some extent,
but it does an EXCELLENT job of simulating a fast ride in a well-
suspended sports car on public roads -- not a bad accomplishment, even
if it's "not" GPL.
BTW, did you "educate yourself by buying the game" before or after you
asked, "Does this mean I was right that NFS:PU is just an update to the
horrid NFS III and the a-bit-better-than horrid NFS: HS?" If you asked
that question before you purchased the game, then I am sorry if my
comments here steered you towards purchasing a game that you find
unfulfilling. If you haven't done so already, make sure you work
through all the "Factory Driver" scenarios -- anything this game lacks
in the realism category is more than made up for by the immersiveness
of this portion, IMO. Actually, I've found NFSPU to be MORE immersive
(for me, mind you) than GPL. Not necessarily more enjoyable (that
would be a dead heat, I would say), but definitely more immersive.
Just my $0.02.
