NFSU 2 common problems


Recommended Posts

List your Need for Speed Underground 2 Problems here.

I have a major problem. Im at 50 % races and i've run out of races on the map and im stuck.

Sound familiar ? Go and uprade your visual rating and you will see the last magazine or dvd cover on your map. After, goto the last U.R.L race to finish off the level. This happens in most cases.

I've added some info for outruns and A map below of all the shops. Choose wisely... If you have not got an unique in a certain level you cannot get it again so make sure you get all uniques before moving up a level. You cannot choose a differen't unique once you've selected one already.

Unique upgrades:

Hoods - 4 outrun wins in level 2.

Engine, transmission or tires - 3 wins in outrun level 3.

Rims - 6 outrun wins level 3.

Spoliers - 4 wins in outrun level 4.

Vinyls - 6 wins in ourtun level 4.

Ecu, turbo or brakes - 9 wins level 4.

Nos, weigh tor suspension - 6 wins in outrun level 5.

WIDE BODY KITS - 11 wins in outrun level 5.

Lots of info at This Link

EDIT: Ok.. I've obtained a save game file for Planet.de thats 9 mb if you're having trouble with the game.

The file includes a 55% game, which will give you access to all areas of the map, all car shops, all car parts and a 10 star rating car with 60,000+ dollars spending money. Post here and ill PM you the link.

Also i've got a copy of the soundtrack featured in the game. Leave your email in this thread and ill send it to you via email.

Some might know this but you can go through a locked area when your in lead of an outrun. Trouble is getting back out .. Only way is to goto main menu and the game wont save you there... or do an uncompleted race by using the Jump to Garage. Theres many ways but these are the best i think. You can't goto body shops through the locked area either so don't get your hopes up.

Ps: You guys do know Brooke Burke is a real person right ?

Shes got her own website too.

Ok... 57 views no reply, and so many people have this game. If you can't help at least say if you have run out of races, what did you do ?

I think you may be having an issue with the "star" rating of your vehicle.

You must achieve a certain rating to get the DVD/Magazine pics to move on.

I've personally added temporary stickers, etc to reach the star rating, then pulled them off when body, audio, hydro, and neon mods came available.

Thanks for replying man...

I figured it out a while ago but yeah thanks again for replying.

I got 10 stars now.. but the thing is its actually quite easy.. theres enough stuff to go upto 15 stars ;)

Thanks for replyin tho :happy:

Anyone have any problems ?

post them here..

Go on ur game completion screen... (it was the down arrow button on my ps2 pad for PC)

Check if you've done all the races.. it should say "100%" or above.

Then upgrade your car, and make it like a level more on visuals. (get some hoods, roofs, etc.)

I havent played that game in like a month... so I cant remember much. But tell me if that works for you.

Edit: I didnt read replies from other people.. well, looks like someone helped you out already.

Unfortunetly they dont have it in Underground 2.

The best way to keep enough money for the things you want if to not get many cars and half complete them and when you firts get a car upgrade performance parts before body.

Make a good choice when you pick a car.

It would be good if you returned your parts to stock you would get some money.. that way you return everything to stock.. get some money and trade that car in..

Oh well.. you make tonnes of money through the game anyway. :pinch:

Ok yes it might have to do something with sponsord races.. have you finished all your races on the map ? If you have then its your visual rating.. get it as HIGH as possible. You need to get all dvd and all magazine covers to move on to the next stage. Sometimes you have to get a high visual rating to unlock the last dvd cover to goto the last u.r.l race.

I need more info to help you.

All races done ? whats your visual rating.. just gimme some more info.

Ok to kk_wasabi.

At the beggining of the game Street X is very hard. Try not to use handbrake because it can cause you to spin around and lose a lot of speed. Acceleration is really important in drags and street x which i had trouble in so chose a car with good Accel.

To altezza.

Im not sure but all things on the map are accessable. I think its the glass window. I didn't know this but at Pigeon park theres a glass windows which you can smash and go through which has this little shortcut.. i think its that. The window looks like its a wall but it isn't to try tht.

To BartjeP.

I don't think you can unfortunetly.. .

To gazebee2001.

Do you still have Rachel's car ? If you do goto the carlot and get your new car. If you've already done that Rachel says drive to the Garage where she explains stuff about it.. nothing important and I dont think you get anything from there either :pinch: .

I know that glass window. If you see the map carefully you will see the one I was talking about. That is after passing through glass window on the route bound for Beacon City area...on the map...that is near the red dot.

Nope, I returned rachel's car loooong time ago. I have my own car, and im pretty much into the game. Suddenly,she says " Return MY Car" is this a glitch? im on my way finishing sponserships

Hmm it might be a glitch.. if you well into the game and rachel says return my car... she is a) ****** up.. b) bug or glitch.

As for altezza .. ill check it out.. meaning you cant get access to it do you mean that its on the map but there is no possible way to go to it... ill check it out anyway. Try looking for little cutback pathways or sumthing.. there might be another road leading to it from far away.

Srry for double post.

Ok altezza... i tried but i can't find what your looking for.

Mark where it is on this map where it is. (Attached).

A lot of you might know this but if you do an outrun and your in the lead.. you can go through a locked area but you can't come out... but then all you do is jump to garage and select a race on world map.. no biggie.

Guess whos got savegames ?

Goto the first post and check link. Im often changing first post with new info..

If any of you want a complete playlist of the songs leave your email in this thread and ill get back to you.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
