Issues fixed
Stuttering
- By default, the game places its processing load on the first CPU core only, which causes occasional framerate dips on most systems. To fix this, you must change the affinity of the NFS11.exe process to exclude CPU 0; after doing this, it places its load equally across the remaining cores.
Fix for occasional stuttering on modern systems[1] |

Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
