After all the excitement of learning what is coming in the Burnout Paradise 'Cagney' and 'Davis' updates, revealed in our Burnout news premiere yesterday, we're pleased to say that Criterion have released 'Bogart' as planned today on the PS3.

Effectively v1.20 of Burnout Paradise, Bogart fixes a number of issues in the game.

The Top 10 problems reported by users have been fixed, these are:

• PS3 game can crash when a player is taken down and the player that has performed the Takedown leaves the game.
• The game indefinitely displays "Connecting to Paradise City Servers" if it's having problems communicating with the rebroadcast server.
• Disconnecting the controller before a race begins can mean that race timings can be manipulated with players who didn't cross the line first being awarded the win.
• Repeatedly joining and leaving a game with 8 players can cause the game to hang.
• Hammering the X button after unlocking a car can cause the game to hang.
• East Crawford and Watt St achievements cannot be achieved if the player goes online and sets road rules before attempting them.
• Audio distortion when using 5.1 / DTS and looking back at the car.
• Total time driven in player stats would stick at 145 hours.
• VoIP connection problems with 8 player games.

The update also adds game experience enhancements and other high-priority fixes, details of which you will find at the Criterion website.
