{{Introduction<br />
|introduction = '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a {{Glossary:singleplayer}} and {{Glossary:multiplayer}} {{Glossary:racing}} game developed by [[Company:EA Black Box|EA Black Box]] and published by [[Company:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]]. It is the eighth entry in the ''[[Series:Need for Speed|Need for Speed]]'' series and the second entry in the ''[[Series:Need for Speed: Underground|Need for Speed: Underground]]'' duology.<br />

Like the previous game, ''Underground 2'' centers around the import racing/tuning scenes and features JDM cars. It is also the first game in the series to have an open world, where players can drive freely around the city. The game's career mode's story takes places six months after the event of ''[[Need for Speed: Underground|Underground]]'' and focus on an unnamed racer (the same racer players had played as in ''Underground'') as they race in the fictional city of Bayview. <br />
<br />
|release history = It was released in North America on November 9, 2004, followed by Europe and Japan releases on November 19, 2004 and December 22, 2004 respectively.<br />

{{ii}} Though the game does not use EAX, Creative Alchemy still can be used to enhance sound quality. It will just emulate DirectSound and 3D positional audio with OpenAL. Difference can be easily noticeable when music is off. For non-Creative cards users see [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/18249-tutorial-how-to-setup-eax-for-tdm-on-any-soundcard/ here] or use [https://yadi.sk/d/z9ub_Pbj3aQgXz dsoal]. Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to avoid crashing career mode while using Alchemy/[[DSOAL]] (alternatively as admin, or use 13AG widescreen which will most likely fix the issue). Sometimes whole career need to be started from the beginning with compatibility mode and Alchemy enabled. The solutions are to avoid disappearing car in career menu and crash after attempt to race. Alternative fix for the issue can be found [https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/directmessage.php?m=40750280 here]. Compatibility mode can cause resetting of the game settings. Please note that attempt of changing details in the game (renderer reset after returning from video settings), and either alt tabbing, have an influence on audio quality, also giving diffreent results depending on g_AudioMode setting to 0, 1 (default) or 2<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://xfi.blogspot.com/2006/10/need-for-speed-carbon-51.html|title=xfi.blogspot.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> in registry.

{{ii}} Though the game does not use EAX, Creative Alchemy still can be used to enhance sound quality. It will just emulate DirectSound and 3D positional audio with OpenAL. Difference can be easily noticeable when music is off. For non-Creative cards users see [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/18249-tutorial-how-to-setup-eax-for-tdm-on-any-soundcard/ here] or use [https://yadi.sk/d/z9ub_Pbj3aQgXz dsoal]. Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to avoid crashing career mode while using Alchemy/[[DSOAL]] (alternatively as admin, or use 13AG widescreen which will most likely fix the issue). Sometimes whole career need to be started from the beginning with compatibility mode and Alchemy enabled. The solutions are to avoid disappearing car in career menu and crash after attempt to race. Alternative fix for the issue can be found [https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/directmessage.php?m=40750280 here]. Compatibility mode can cause resetting of the game settings. Please note that attempt of changing details in the game (renderer reset after returning from video settings), and either alt tabbing, have an influence on audio quality, also giving diffreent results depending on g_AudioMode setting to 0, 1 (default) or 2<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://xfi.blogspot.com/2006/10/need-for-speed-carbon-51.html|title=xfi.blogspot.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> in registry.

{{ii}} Though the game does not use EAX, Creative Alchemy still can be used to enhance sound quality. It will just emulate DirectSound and 3D positional audio with OpenAL. Difference can be easily noticeable when music is off. For non-Creative cards users see [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/18249-tutorial-how-to-setup-eax-for-tdm-on-any-soundcard/ here] or use [https://yadi.sk/d/z9ub_Pbj3aQgXz dsoal]. Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to avoid crashing career mode while using Alchemy/[[DSOAL]] (alternatively as admin, or use 13AG widescreen which will most likely fix the issue). Sometimes whole career need to be started from the beginning with compatibility mode and Alchemy enabled. The solutions are to avoid disappearing car in career menu and crash after attempt to race. Alternative fix for the issue can be found [https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/directmessage.php?m=40750280 here]. Compatibility mode can cause resetting of the game settings. Please note that attempt of changing details in the game (renderer reset after returning from video settings), and either alt tabbing, have an influence on audio quality, also giving diffreent results depending on g_AudioMode setting to 0, 1 (default) or 2<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://xfi.blogspot.com/2006/10/need-for-speed-carbon-51.html|title=xfi.blogspot.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> in registry.

{{ii}} Though the game does not use EAX, Creative Alchemy still can be used to enhance sound quality. It will just emulate DirectSound and 3D positional audio with OpenAL. Difference can be easily noticeable when music is off. For non-Creative cards users see [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/18249-tutorial-how-to-setup-eax-for-tdm-on-any-soundcard/ here] or use [https://yadi.sk/d/z9ub_Pbj3aQgXz dsoal]. Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to avoid crashing career mode while using Alchemy/[[DSOAL]] (alternatively as admin, or use 13AG widescreen which will most likely fix the issue). Sometimes whole career need to be started from the beginning with compatibility mode and Alchemy enabled. The solutions are to avoid disappearing car in career menu and crash after attempt to race. Alternative fix for the issue can be found [https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/directmessage.php?m=40750280 here]. Compatibility mode can cause resetting of the game settings. Please note that attempt of changing details in the game (renderer reset after returning from video settings), and either alt tabbing, have an influence on audio quality, also giving diffreent results depending on g_AudioMode setting to 0, 1 (default) or 2<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://xfi.blogspot.com/2006/10/need-for-speed-carbon-51.html|title=xfi.blogspot.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> in registry.

{{ii}} Though the game does not use EAX, Creative Alchemy still can be used to enhance sound quality. It will just emulate DirectSound and 3D positional audio with OpenAL. Difference can be easily noticeable when music is off. For non-Creative cards users see [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/18249-tutorial-how-to-setup-eax-for-tdm-on-any-soundcard/ here] or use [https://yadi.sk/d/z9ub_Pbj3aQgXz dsoal]. Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to avoid crashing career mode while using Alchemy/[[DSOAL]] (alternatively as admin, or use 13AG widescreen which will most likely fix the issue). Sometimes whole career need to be started from the beginning with compatibility mode and Alchemy enabled. The solutions are to avoid disappearing car in career menu and crash after attempt to race. Alternative fix for the issue can be found [https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/directmessage.php?m=40750280 here]. Compatibility mode can cause resetting of the game settings. Please note that attempt of changing details in the game (renderer reset after returning from video settings), and either alt tabbing, have an influence on audio quality, also giving diffreent results depending on g_AudioMode setting to 0, 1 (default) or 2<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://xfi.blogspot.com/2006/10/need-for-speed-carbon-51.html|title=xfi.blogspot.com|date=May 2023}}</ref> in registry.

|introduction = '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a {{Glossary:singleplayer}} and {{Glossary:multiplayer}} {{Glossary:racing}} game developed by [[Company:EA Black Box|EA Black Box]] and published by [[Company:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]]. It is the eighth entry in the ''[[Series:Need for Speed|Need for Speed]]'' series and the second entry in the ''[[Series:Need for Speed: Underground|Need for Speed: Underground]]'' duology.<br />

Like the previous game, ''Underground 2'' centers around the import racing/tuning scenes and features JDM cars. It is also the first game in the series to have an open world, where players can drive freely around the city. The game's career mode's story takes places six months after the event of ''[[Need for Speed: Underground|Underground]]'' and focus on an unnamed racer (the same racer players had played as in ''Underground'') as they race in the fictional city of Bayview. <br />
<br />

It is the eighth entry in the ''[[Series:Need for Speed|Need for Speed]]'' series and the second entry in the ''[[Series:Need for Speed: Underground|Need for Speed: Underground]]'' duology.<br />

It is also the first game in the series to have an open world, where players can drive freely around the city. The game's career mode's story takes places six months after the event of ''[[Need for Speed: Underground|Underground]]'' and focus on an unnamed racer (the same racer players had played as in ''Underground'') as they race in the fictional city of Bayview. <br />
<br />

===Can't install both NFS Underground and NFS Most Wanted (2005) on the same PC===<br />
{{ii}} This problem occurs because both games use the same name for their main executables (<code>speed.exe</code>). After installing one game and attempting to install the other, its autorun program assumes it's already been installed.<br />

==Issues fixed==<br />
===Low frame rate due to game using single core===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use [https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases dxvk] to wrap D3D9 API calls to Vulkan|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix=<br />
{{ii}} This may reduces overall CPU usage and overhead but increases GPU usage; however, results may vary.<br />
{{ii}} Texture mods using TexMod and anisotropic filtering settings forced through GPU control panel will not be applied.<ref name="HighFPS>{{Refcheck|user=Radmaxx|date=2022-02-20}}</ref><br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Game is not running in installed language version===<br />
{{ii}} This might happens for non-US version game installer in which the registry is installed into wrong path<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Registry fix|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=KyoriAsh|date=2022-03-26|comment=Checked with the original and the modified path, game able to run in installed language as in registry.}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Run '''regedit'''.<br />
# Find the registry path of <code>{{P|hklm}}\SOFTWARE\{{P|wow64}}\EA Games\</code>.<br />
# Change the key name <code>NFS Underground</code> which is under <code>EA Games</code> into <code>Need For Speed Underground</code>.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===The drag racing tutorial doesn't work for Dutch and Swedish languages===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Copy or rename files|fix=<br />
# Go to <code>{{p|game}}\Movies\</code><br />
# Rename or copy <code>eng_drag.mad</code> with the following names<br />
#*<code>dut_drag.mad</code> if you are using Dutch language.<br />
#*<code>swe_drag.mad</code> if you are using Swedish language.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Custom bindings lost on game restart===<br />
{{ii}} Windows Vista and later lack a file needed for the game to remember custom mappings.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Download dimap.dll|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=<br />
# Download [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/58-microsoft-directinput-mapper-dimapdll/ dimap.dll].<br />
# Extract it into the installation folder.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===The game doesn't load (stuck on initial loading screen)===<br />
{{ii}} This probably caused by an compatibility issue on modern systems.{{cn|This issue got fixed with this workaround for a few users on discord}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use [https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/DgVoodoo_2 dgVoodoo ]|ref={{cn|date=}}|fix=<br />
# Download the latest version of [http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ dgVoodoo 2] and extract the archive.<br />
# Open the {{Folder|MS\x86}} folder and copy the {{File|D3D9.dll}} file.<br />
# Paste the file into the game installation folder where the game executable is.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} This is likely caused by multi-monitor setups using multiple GPU's.{{cn|Not completely sure, but I(Sandemc) couldn't find any other case of such issue online, and this is what particularly fixed it. This is a very rare setup, so chances are, most people wouldn't see it occuring}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Potential workaround|ref={{cn|date=January 2022}}|fix=<br />
# Turn off monitors which use another GPU or monitor duplication when starting up the game<br />
# Turn it on once the game finishes loading if you still need them<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{ii}} Another problem might be missing cutscene files which are not found in non-US version of the game if the game is run in Windows 10 and above<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Cutscene files restoration|ref=<ref name="cutscene">{{Refcheck|user=KyoriAsh|date=2022-03-26|comment=Tested with the missing cutscene files and the game is able to run normally.}}</ref>|fix=<br />

# Extract into <code>{{P|game}}\Movies</code>.<br />
# Run the game.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Can't install both NFS Underground and NFS Most Wanted (2005) on the same PC===<br />
{{ii}} This problem occurs because both games use the same name for their main executables (<code>speed.exe</code>). After installing one game and attempting to install the other, its autorun program assumes it's already been installed.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Workaround: rename executable of already installed game|ref=<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Mrtnptrs|date=2022-12-04|comment=When having either Underground or Most Wanted installed and trying to run the {{Code|setup.exe}} of the other, will result in the setup showing the option to ''Play'' the already installed game instead of showing ''Install'' to install the second game. Renaming the executable {{Code|speed.exe}} of the already installed game to something else and running the setup of the other game indeed fixed the problem and allowed both games to be installed.}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Install the first game. It doesn't matter whether it's Underground or Most Wanted.<br />
# Go to the installation folder of the just installed game.<br />
# Change the name of <code>speed.exe</code> to anything else.<br />
# Install the other game.<br />
# Restore the original name of the first game's <code>speed.exe</code>.<br />

{{Fixbox|description=Use [[#NFSU XtendedInput|NFSU XtendedInput]]|fix=<br />

<br />
===The game occasionally freezes on loading screen or after race===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Install latest patch (or binary) 1.4 or 1.3.4|ref=|fix= <br />
Copying proper .exe for EU or US version should suffice.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/683430-nfsu2-stuck-on-loading-screen-forever-help-needed/|title=Similar bug in UG2|date=May 2023}}</ref> Although patcher also extracts filter.efx (possibly NOS black screen effect fix) to the patch exe folder if proper game binary or registry entry is not found.<br />
Widescreen patch compatibility not tested.<br />
If all above fail, reinstall the game, and use e.g. 1.0 version (afterwards, replacing exe and filter.efx should suffice).<br />
The problem can happen e.g. after Samantha Time Trial 2:07 (hard), on 1.4 binary version, and is gone on 1.3.4.<br />
}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Remove dimap.dll from game-folder|ref=|fix= <br />
If the game just freezes for a short amount of time while loading, then this can be solved by removing the dimap.dll from the game-folder. Keep in mind that this can have the side-effect that the custom bindings might get lost on game restart (see [https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Underground#Custom_bindings_lost_on_game_restart here]).<br />

<br />
===The game randomly crashes after races (when clicking the Continue button) and progress is lost===<br />

===Can't install both NFS Underground and NFS Most Wanted (2005) on the same PC===<br />
{{ii}} This problem occurs because both games use the same name for their main executables (<code>speed.exe</code>). After installing one game and attempting to install the other, its autorun program assumes it's already been installed.<br />

{{Introduction<br />
|introduction = '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a {{Glossary:singleplayer}} and {{Glossary:multiplayer}} {{Glossary:racing}} game co-developed by [[Company:EA Canada|EA Canada]] and [[Comapny:EA Seattle|EA Seattle]] and published by [[Company:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]]. It is the sixth entry in the ''[[Series:Need for Speed|Need for Speed]]'' series and a sequel to ''[[Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit]]''.<br />
<br />
The Windows release was based on the GameCube and Xbox versions of the game (also developed by EA Canada and EA Seattle), rather than the PlayStation 2 version (developed by [[Company:EA Black Box|Black Box]]).<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://nfs.fandom.com/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Hot_Pursuit_2/Differences|title=Differences at The Need for Speed Wiki - Need for Speed series information|date=2020-11-05}}</ref><br />
<br />
|release date = It was released in North America on October 21, 2002, followed by the Europe release on November 8, 2002.<br />

<br />
===Demo===<br />
{{ii}} A demo [https://archive.org/details/nfshotpurs2 is available].<br />
{{ii}} Limited to 2 available cars ('''Ferrari 360 Spider''' and '''Porsche 911 Turbo''') and 1 track ('''Calypso Coast''').<br />
<br />
==Essential improvements==<br />
<br />
===Patches===<br />
{{ii}} [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1068-need-for-speed-hot-pursuit-2-patch/ Patch 242] is the final patch for the game. Adds multiplayer encryption and improves Force Feedback behavior and compatibility.<br />
<br />
===Skip intro videos===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Instructions|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.tweaktown.com/guides/408/need_for_speed_hot_pursuit_2_tweaking_guide/index7.html|title=TweakTown - Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 Tweaking Guide|date=October 2017}}</ref>|fix=<br />
# Go to <code>{{p|game}}\movies\</code><br />
# Delete or rename <code>hp2E.mad</code>, <code>logoE.mad</code>, and <code>logoS.mad</code> to anything else.<br />
# Create three empty files with the above filenames in the folder.<br />
<br />
'''Notes'''<br />
{{ii}} This tweak will only work if a No-CD patch is used, as otherwise the game will simply load the movies directly from the game CD.<br />
{{ii}} Alternatively, simply starting the game with the "-nofrustration" argument will skip the title screen and intro videos.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Increase distance in which particles fade out===<br />
{{ii}} Increases the distance in which particles are rendered. It will be most noticeable in the water effect not fading from waterfalls as their distance increases.<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Instructions|ref={{cn|date=September 2021}}|fix=<br />
# Go to the "EAGL" folder in the game directory.<br />
# Open the "LOD" file with notepad.<br />
# In the "[max]" section, increase the values for "worldParticle.farFadeIn" and "worldParticle.farFadeOut". It can go to values as high as 999, but keep "worldParticle.farFadeIn" slightly lower than "worldParticle.farFadeOut".<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Crash/lock-up on launch or Low/Choppy frame-rate===<br />
{{--}} Game may crash immediately after entering full-screen/after it creates its application window, or frame-rate may be around 20-30 FPS and lack V-sync.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use DirectInput low frame rate fix|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=47594|title=VOGONS - NFS Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) crashes on start.|date=2020-10-19}}</ref>|fix=<br />
Use the [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/789-directinput-fps-fix/ DirectInput FPS Fix].}}<br />
{{Fixbox|description=(Alternative) Unplug or disable incompatible HID devices|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=47594|title=VOGONS - NFS Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) crashes on start.|date=2020-10-19}}</ref>|fix=<br />
If the above doesn't work:<br />
# Unplug any USB HID devices that are not needed to play the game (Xbox controllers, media remotes, desktop case fan speed controllers etc). For laptops unplug all external USB HID devices such as external mice and keyboards.<br />
# Go to Device Manager and, under the "Human Interface Devices" section, disable any remaining "HID-compliant vendor-defined device" and "HID-compliant consumer control devices" (they can be reenabled later)<br />
# Game should now launch and work properly. By reenabling and replugging devices and testing the game after each change the cuplrit HID device could be found. Alienware AlienFX controller seems to be one of them.}}<br />

<br />
# Go to {{code|C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My files\EA Games\Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2\rendercaps.ini}}<br />
# Set <code>LimitResolution=1</code> to <code>LimitResolution=0</code><br />
<br />
===Game not rendering fog on modern systems===<br />

===Game crashing with more than 1 hi-poly car===<br />
This issue can be fixed by installing HP2WSFix as the fix is integrated along with the widescreen fix.<ref name="wsfix3"/><br />
<br />
===White screen after installing HP2WSFix===<br />
Remove the global.ini file from the main game directory.{{cn|date=September 2021}}<br />
<br />
===DualShock 4 support===<br />
{{ii}} To use a DualShock 4 with the gas and brake axis, the .ini needs to be tweaked.<br />
<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Tweak|ref={{cn|date=September 2021}}|fix=Replace definitions.ini and defaults.ini with the ones from [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1230-need-for-speed-hot-pursuit-2-dualshock-4-configuration/ here.]<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Poor performance on high resolutions===<br />
May be fixed copying the game directory outside "Program Files" folder, so it can be run without administrator rights.{{cn|date=September 2021}}<br />
<br />
===Settings not saved on exit===<br />
Profile must be saved manually from the Options menu after configuring settings, else they won't be saved on game exit.{{cn|date=September 2021}}<br />
<br />
===XInput controller not working===<br />
{{Fixbox|description=Use devreorder to force intended device (needs dinputto8)|ref=<ref name="xinputerr1"></ref>|fix=<br />
# Download briankendall's [https://github.com/briankendall/devreorder/releases/ devreorder] and elishacloud's [https://github.com/elishacloud/dinputto8/releases/ dinputto8].<br />
# For devreorder, extract {{file|devreorder.ini}} and {{file|x86}}'s {{file|dinput8.dll}} into main game directory.<br />
# For dinputto8, extract {{file|dinput.dll}} into main game directory as well.<br />
# Edit {{file|devreorder.ini}}- '''[order]''' and '''[visible]''' should be set to your controller's name; i.e. "Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows)".<br />
{{ii}} Should work even across restarts as it's forcing enumeration order and hiding other enumerable devices from the process.<br />
{{ii}} If the game shows an error message about the controller not being specifically recognized, ignore this message and proceed to manually configure the controller settings in the options menu.<br />
