Maybe I messed something up while installing the mod, but it seems like having this mod active makes gear changes really, really slow - like, stock speed or slower. Removing the mod temporarily makes the gear change speed return to normal.

Also, sometimes the speed hangs at 41MPH (or so) in first gear, even though the car can continue revving. Again, this seems to stop as soon as the mod is removed.

Is there anything in the mod that might be causing this? My first thought is that it may be related to windowed mode, because disabling windowed mode also eliminates the issue.

I'm using a Xbox One S controller and trying to play NFSU2 Pc with it, when i go to configure the keybinds im not able to set the gear shift up & down to the L & R triggers of the controller, idk if its because they're not buttons and they're Axis's, and i tried to set gear shifting to D-pad up & down instead but then i can't have D-pad up & down as accept race/enter store and show career progress at the same time. i thought it would be a good option to have D-pad up & down as gear shifting since when playing a race you can't use the D-pad up & down anyway. i know it wouldn't work when driving free roam but that can be fixed by setting gear shifting to auto

Currently i have Extra Options & ThirteenAG's widescreen fix installed, the game is also updated to v1.2 and i have the hoodlum no cd Speed2.exe

ive tried to do it because every-time i want to use my computer i needed to wait until it closes.
the game runs like this https://imgur.com/a/qbDGBhd
i have 2 monitors 1 is connected by the vga to displayport adapter and the other is connected straight into the gtx 1600 dual card
what should i do?

It's to be expected, honestly, but are there any reasons why the game crashes so frequently? Most Wanted has only crashed randomly twice for me with ExOpts in use.

It's funny how when you max out all the engine upgrades for all your tuner cars, they all sound the exact same, like rotaries or something. Sounds weird.

How about the ability to make it so that cars keep their stock engine sounds after you upgrade everything?

In the in-game options, I have my preferred camera set to the Hood camera, but for Drift races, it always switches to the Close Chase cam when I start the race. This requires me to tap the Change View button twice at the start of every single drift race to use the Hood cam. The ability to disable this annoying "feature" and keep it at my preferred camera at the start of any Drift race would be appreciated.

Seems like there are two cursors now, the Windows one and the NFSU2 one. How do I hide the Windows cursor?

I am very new to this. Thanks for the help.

Is it just me, or does ExOpts do some weird things to the sound upon shifting up (it's slower and more wobbly) and create some rev hang in first gear? I suspect something is being overwritten somewhere that really shouldn't be.

To reproduce, try playing a completely unmodified game with a fully modded car, and then trying it again with ExOpts installed.

I'd debug this myself, by removing parts of the code until the weird behavior is gone, but I couldn't get it to load in Visual Studio, nor compile.

As I (and MWisBest) fixed Regional cars, now we need to fix LAN. They must/can see each other.
samfednik@gtrcars: "That's crazy. Another would be to combine PAL/ntsc to NFSMW/U2 in LAN mode to see servers, for example Russian and American hosts together."
Thanks to samfednik for suggestion.

Please, allow us play this game without rubber banding effect, on hard difficulty its a fucking nightmare, opponents are always behind my back no matter what im doing.

am I missing something?
I've been trying to make a multi-windowed splitscreen work but the game kinda suspends itself whenever I take focus from one of the windows, so I can't make both of them run simultaneously.
Now I can't find any info on the splitscreen mod mentioned in the ini file no matter how much I google. can someone help me here? what splitscreen mode has been fixed?

There is a requirement of reputation points to get all the sponsors for all 5 sponsors so pls add a feature to either allow us to remove the reputation points or lower the required reputation points to get all 5 sponsors

In races, you have to be a certain amount ahead to get 300 reputation points and they are absurd so add a feature that fixes this issue in the circuit, street x, sprint, and URL you have to be ahead by a set amount of seconds to get 300 points

if possible add a feature to disable rubberbanding

As long as it's possible I would absolutely love a feature that lets us add all unique performance parts to any car we want without having to rely on career mode outruns.

Music is turned off during Drift and Drag races and there's no way that I know of to turn it back on. It'd be cool if music could be re-enabled for these races.

Hello,

It is known to fix NFSU2 crashes by setting up CPU affinity to one core. I was wondering if there is any alternative workaround. Limiting the game to only one CPU cause lower GPU utilization and lower FPS.

This second address may not be necessary.

And don't go any higher than 60 because it gets really buggy. I'd make a pull request for this but I don't have time right now.

The title explains itself.

And I'm having some problems with the RemoveRaceBarriers=1 on Drag races, where in some locations the ground goes black and the car starts to fall infinitely. This can be fixed by disabling temporarily the barrier removal when doing Drag races.

Whenever I decide to go from freeroam to a race and go back to freeroam or even do arcade racing, after a race my game starts to load endlessly making it unplayable.

I tunned my car with best things with F5 cheat.
After I started the race but opponents are very slow, I suppose they are so weak because career is 0%

I tried to play nfsu2 but when I run it my pc frizzes for couple of seconds and the game is not running

There are a lot of monotonous races in the game during the passing of a career.

Add please ability in career circuit racing the number of laps is one.

So i started playing this game again and noticed, that world animations don't work. I first noticed it in a race, when the trackbarriers didn't animate. After that, I also noticed, that the fountain in the city core and all other fountains aren't animated any more. I used texmod all the time, so i figured it might have to do something with that, but i started the game without it and still the same issue. Also, i don't think there is any Mod-conflict, i only use extopts, widescreen fix and novisualrep.

Also, i wanted to ask, if you could implement 2 things in the future: no restriction with vinyls (carbon, special vinyls etc.) and removing catch up?

The target scores that are supposed to show up don't appear when ExtraOptions is active, making it possible to win the events without scoring a single point.

Hi!! I have a problem wanting to install NFSU2ExtraOptions, I have a very old computer (it has Windows XP). When I pass the files of the NFSU2ExOpts.v4.0.0.1337 and enter the game I get an error that says "The entry point of the SHGetKnowFolderPath procedure cannot be found in the dynamic links library SHELL32.dll.". I would like to know if somebody have any solution for that problem.

So I have the retail version and thirtheenAG managed to make its widescreen script to work with it. I just uploaded for him my version speed2.exe and he applied the necessary patches in the newer versions he released.
Question is, can you make it work with my version of the game?

Also, I don't use any crack. I just made an .iso of my disc and whenever I wanna play I just mount it then the game loads normally. Thanks.

pls help me, when i press "L" button for debug mode, it doesn't changed it at all. when i press "pause" button for freeze camera it worked perfectly. why it does happen? anyway i'm using Extra Option version 4.0

Downloaded one folder which had a link to download another folder and here are the entries.

First: The U2 extra options don't have Expand memory pools function
to fix the bug that causes game crashes and transparent rivals while playing
with high-poly car mods while the MW extra options
already have that function.

Second: There's a bug in the U2 extra options that causes
the free roam sometimes to load endlessly.

Idk which is the problem but there is error from event viewer

I don't know, maybe i did something wrong, but it doesn't work on all cars. Although in "ExtraOptonsSettings" all necessary parameters are enabled.

or only one mod a time? they all overwrite each other's dinput8.dll, is it the same file for all 3?

I am surprised that this is not something, it makes races a little more intense.

under
[OpponentControllers]
Maximum = 3 // Maximum number of opponents can be selected at Quick Race options screen. (Default = 5) (0/5)
setting this to 5 causes sometimes some opponents cars to be partially (car body) invisible in quick race

it doesnt work i press f5 and it does nothing is there something i have to enable because i have all the files

We all know what a Razy is. This mod is great, so please, take your razy out of it.

Kind regards,
Reaper

So I've been testing this mod, and the extra money mod won't work.
No matter what I put in, it doesn't show up in the game.
Full admin rights, game installed on another drive then C.
What am I doing wrong here?

i have question mb you know how fix it. If you driving on highway in opposite lane, game disable traffic. IDK why. How disable it?

Out of nostalgia wanted to play Underground 2 and encountered the problem - cars are transparent.
And I found the fix, actually, there's an exe, that fixes that problem. But well, it creates another problem - widescreen fix stops working and I'm not sure extra options are working correctly with it.
So my question here is - can you somehow add that fix as an option in ExOpts?
I've checked in hex editor, and here's all the difference in exes:
-original-
001BF62F - 80
001BF630 - 02
001BF635 - E0
001BF636 - 01
-fix-
001BF62F - 00
001BF630 - 05
001BF635 - D0
001BF636 - 02
Yeah, that's all, no other differences in files. Hope it could be done and wasn't written in vain... Really want to play game in all it's glory, heheh

Some cars go invisible when playing with more than 4 opponents
