We include new additional absorption corrections into the Lebiedowicz-Szczurek (non-resonant) model for pp→ppπ+π− or ppˉ→ppˉπ+π− processes. They are related to the πN nonperturbative interaction in the final state of the reaction. The role of the absorption corrections is quantified for several differential distributions for s = 0.2, 1.96, 7, and 8 TeV. The new absorption corrections lead to further decrease of the cross section by about a factor of two. They change the shape of some distributions (dσ/dt, dσ/dpt,p, dσ/dϕpp) but leave almost unchanged shape of other distributions (dσ/dMππ, dσ/dyπ, dσ/dpt,π, dσ/dϕππ). The effect may have important impact on the interpretation of the recent STAR and CDF data as well as the forthcoming data of the ALICE, ATLAS + ALFA and CMS + TOTEM collaborations.
