About
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is the 6th installment in the Need for Speed series and is the last of the "classic-era" NFS games. The PC version was developed by EA Seattle, while the PS2 version was the first of the series to be developed by BlackBox, who then took over developing the next several titles in the series. This page primarily covers the PC version.

Version 2.42 vs. 2.40
2.42 is the latest patch for the game, which adds online multiplayer encryption and better compatibility for input devices.
However, it cannot be played online against players using version 2.40.
Some users choose to play on version 2.40 instead. Note that this version is not supported by the Widescreen Fix and cannot be played online with version 2.42.
