Audio settings
- To improve sound quality copy DSOAL + HRTF into the game dir to greater enhance car engine volume (also option of no HRTF attached). Make sure you have stereo set in audio options for 2.0 configurations (alternatively use IndirectSound (no HRTF) and .ini). Too low audio volume of player car engine was also fixed in v 1.0.2.0 in some extent. In DSOAL the changes are even pushed forward in this aspect. Now you may like to lower SFX volume to hear the music louder. The game sound mix is bad. Alternatively you can test out 5.1 setting in game options for better results with IndirectSound if DSOAL doesn't work on your current Windows 10 build.

Issues fixed
Stuttering
- By default, the game places its processing load on the first CPU core only, which causes occasional framerate dips on some 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[2] |
