Video settings fix for Windows 8
There's an annoying compatibility bug in Windows 8 that forces the game to boot on default graphics settings instead of your saved graphics settings every time you launch the game. To fix this, go to the compatibility settings for nfs.exe
and disable display scaling on high DPI settings.[citation needed]
Lag fix for PCs running Windows 7 or 8
Need For Speed Undercover is a poor console port and suffers from poor frame rate performance on recent versions of Windows, even on high-end gaming PCs. To minimize the lags during gameplay, launch RivaTuner or NVIDIA Inspector, add the game profile, and set the frame rate limit to 30 fps.[citation needed]
