High frame rate

Use Split/Second 60 FPS Patch[7]
The patch requires you to remove DRM from your copy as it does not work with Steam DRM.
It will break some power plays and cause clipping problems with certain animations. Some of the ai cars will constantly crash into the world that you or the other ai trigger.
