Re: undercover choppy framerate fix

@DarrenR21373: Could you explain more clearly on how to defrag the HDD... the fix I used although takes care of frame rate and freezing, my computer restarted at the "Nick of Time" job because it can't load fully. Although it recovered from the error and should work, I still want to know....

Re: undercover choppy framerate fix

Managed to fix my problems too. My fix - I downloaded "Defraggler" from http://www.filehippo.com/download_defraggler/ - a free disk defragmenter that seems to work better than XP's built in one - defragged the HDD and all is sweet again :D Seems strange that my PC is older than most here (...

Re: Your views of NFS UNDERCOVER

I just tried a solution from Expertester to fix the choppy frame rate for the PC version. It works. Now I can play without it freezing all the time. Managed to fix my problems too - Expertester solution didn't work for me, but then again I didn't think it would, since my copy is shop-bought... My f...

Re: underground choppy framerate fix

So basically hes saying that choppy frame rate is related to the cracked version of the game, using the paul.dll file? :lol: lol... all the cheaters got owned Ah, if only this was the case!

Re: Your views of NFS UNDERCOVER

OK, anyone else have this? Game was running fine, odd choppiness now and again, but perfectly drivable. However, every time I try to play now, the game is unplayable, jerking and juddering all the time, taking about 2-3 minutes to load a race, even if I shutdown the PC, reboot and kill off all backg...

Re: Your views of NFS UNDERCOVER

Well, I guess EA finally did it - they made a game that makes Pro Street look GOOD (I certainly enjoyed it more than this resource-hog piece of coding) :wink: I know my PC is old (but it's still waaaay above minimum specs), but the graphics are horrendous at 1024x768 and when I first started playing...

Re: Umm... yeah. What extreme machine to beat RYO?

The car I beat his hoody butt with was the Mitsubishi Evo X, tuned to level 3.

My thinking was use the same car as him and it worked. However, when I raced him with a level 4 Evo X, he flew off into the distance. Guess it's that same old sad EA AI-balancing act again :roll:

Re: Stalling at drag starts...

Another thing that I've noticed happen a few times is that if you shift into first just a tad too early, but not early enough to jump the start, the car sometimes tries to take off in 2nd gear. I thought it was me when it first happened, but it's happened a few times since. Wondered if maybe I'd hel...

Re: NFS 12 Car Wishlist

Dude, if you drove on a Motorway in the UK, you'd realise that no matter what speed you are doing, and no matter what car you are driving, you will always be overtaken by a 1.2 litre Corsa :oops:

Or an AstraVan - Vauxhall/Opel make the fastest vehicles on the road :lol:

Re: Trouble winning the Speed Challenges in the NEVADA tracks?

Must admit, I liked the Porky 911 Turbo, until I tried the Nissan Skyline GTR R34. For me, the Skyline wins hands down (just be careful over bumps/jumps).

Don't know what went wrong with my first download (I'm sure I downloaded the correct file, but hey, such is life!). This works like a charm.

Re: Your impression after install patch 1.1

Sadly, the supercars weren't available for me when I downloaded the save and installed it. Think I only had about 156 cars - mostly Golfs, Cobalts, etc in various states of riced-ness.

None of the new cars appeared apart from the 2 freebies :cry:

Anyone suggest how we make them available for use?
