Essential improvements
Patches
- Latest version is Patch 5.30.0(also called Patch 6), it can be downloaded here or here. However, it changes the pitch of some audio effects(including car engines) and the FOV fix causes the player car's body to stretch in widescreen, so update only if these two things don't present an issue.
dgVoodoo
- Fixes many issues with the game:
- Removes the DirectX resolution limit.
- Makes it possible to select resolutions with 32 bit color option in the video settings menu.
- Can be used to force anti-aliasing without rendering issues.
- Can be used to force custom resolutions (can cause minor artifacts in the menus, see Widescreen resolution for another method).

Random game crashes
- Arcade mode is prone to random crashes on certain tracks when played at higher framerate ("Guru Meditation" error), limiting the framerate to 30 FPS fixes the issue.
