Issues unresolved
Game does not render fog on modern systems
Even after setting "World Detail" at maximum, the game won't render fog on modern systems. There is an alternative workaround by using 3DAnalyze and forcing TnL, but no fixes for the game itself.
Poor frame pacing
Hot Pursuit 2 suffers from frame pacing issues on modern systems, resulting in choppy gameplay even at high framerates. There is no known fix for this.
Issues fixed
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (exception error)
- Error is "The thread attempted to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access."
Copy the following directories from the CD to <path-to-game>\ [citation needed]

DualShock 4 support
- To use a DualShock 4 with the gas and brake axis, the .ini needs to be tweaked.
Replace definitions.ini and defaults.ini with the ones from here. |
