Need For Speed: Most Wanted Tips & Tricks

heres the link to the best xbox controller drivers out at the moment (1.07)

http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd.html

These ones will allow you to use the analouge sticks and triggers + rumble support is enabled but not figured out how to work it in Most Wanted as yet

Here's a tip for the people that want analog for the gas and break on the triggers of the Xbox controllers. Get the above mentioned XBCD 1.07 drivers. Then launch the controller setup and do this:

  • 1. Click on the xbox tab at the top
    2. Click on the button next to the circle with LT (Left trigger)
    3. Set it for Axis - Z+ or Z-
    4. Do the same for the RT
    5. Click on the windows tab and make sure that the Z axis is turned on!
    6. Hit the left and right triggers and the slider should go up and down.
    7. Make sure that you save the profile
    8. Read the instructions for the drivers for more info. You can have more than 1 profile for your controller so that you can have different settings for different games.

P.S. I have my Device Type setting at the top set to gamepad.

P.P.S. Here is a link to the documentation for the drivers

6600GT with latest nVidia drivers.

586863619[/snapback]

Is this the same bug that I had with Underground 2? First, EA is stupid enough not to skip over resolution not supported by video card. By default, nVidia does not support 1280x960 and this is the step following 1024x768 right before 1280x1024.

What you need to do is to force your nVidia driver and make a 1280x960 setting.

Go back in your game, select your resolution and VOIL?! You should be able to see 1280x960 and after that, 1280x1024.

Hope this helps.

:DD

Could you explain what you mean by

nVidia does not support 1280x960

I have my PC connected to my HDTV which runs at 1360 x 768 which runs fine. Every other game, HL2, HL2LC with HDR etc works over and above 1280 x 960. Only NFSUG2 and NFSMW wont work above 1024 x 768. Is this a problem with just these two games? I'm not sure what the problem is.:unsure::

Anyone?

Does anyone have any tips for avoiding the SUV cops? I keep getting to the point where I'm on heat 3 and just about to go to heat 4, then SUV's start coming after me and ramming me. I just can't find a way to avoid them! They just come at me and then I find my car flipping through the air all of the time!

use a better car, the more faster car and the more it cost usally is faster(more power) and have alot of weight, weight is very important because like corvet, gallardo,viper,911 turbo are heavy cars, so if cops try to ram you they will be weak and you have a better chance of geting away, and if they have you boxed in you just ram them back trying to escape it works on those models, i think Heat Level 5 is so easy and i love raming the corvet cops, they are 20,000 a piece! you make alot of bounty that way.

post anything you need help with

Gotta use that speedbreaker. If you use it when you see them coming from far away, you can usually avoid them.

Take it noone knows how to set the resolution above 1024 x 768. :unsure:

Can someone tell me how many cars you can have total in the career mode? What about the My Cars thing? how many cars can go in there? I've seen some say 12 and some even say 15. Also, what is the purpose of the My Cars thing? Is it just for customizing your own cars for quick race? What cars do you use when you go online?

Not sure about career but in My Cars the maximum is 20 cars, which can be used in online mode or quick race mode.

Anyone know if its a bug not being able to set the resolution above 1024 x 768. Cant seem to find any info anywhere on this.

I would think if anyone had an answer to this, it would have been given by now. It might be a problem w/ the drivers for your video card, but I have seen other people complaining about this too so it could be a problem w/ the game itself.

I have to use 800x600 on my game because it runs too slowly at anything higher. If your PC is powerfull enough, turn up the Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering so it looks better.

whats real fun is after you beat razor (#1 spot) you win your bmw back and watch a cool movie, then start a level 6 cop chase till the final stunt.. im not gonna say anymore so i dont ruin it for anyone.. i played with the caymen until i unlocked the carrara.. she's a good roadblock buster.

    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything? 
    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.
