Difference between revisions of "Need for Speed: Most Wanted"
From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
m (Redid and expanded the pre-data-loss edit. ThirteenAG's fix is pretty much essential on modern systems. Updated solutions/fixes related to it and added new ones. Moved cutscenes mod to Modifications & changed the mod order for HD Reflections.) |
(Cleanup (of sketchy or too long unsourced fixes, also fixes that were unreproducable, like game settings resetting, sun flare bug and menu lag on multicore systems, directplay as uninstalling it made no difference, remove audio replacement as it seems to do same thing as ThirteenAG's fix and not clear if contains same content) and enhancement of page + fix the severe lack of references + remove haptic feedback fix; game doesn't seem to have proper support for it even when applying the hack) |

Issues unresolved
Game crashes when executed in Asian languages
- Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean and Thai are making the game crash at boot. There's no fix except to change the language to a language different than these.[17]
Can't install both NFS Underground and NFS Most Wanted (2005) on the same PC
- This problem occurs because both games use the same name for their main executables (
speed.exe). After installing one game and attempting to install the other, its autorun program assumes it's already been installed.
| Workaround: rename executable of already installed game[19] |
