Hmmm
Last year, I installed the demo of nfspu. But when I started it up, I saw the menue screen (Which seemed to be it), it was all white. although I could see the menus boxes, but no text. Also the mouse was just a wierd imiged box. I think that the problem might be in my viedo card. I have a Nvidia Riva TNT 2 Pro. I need help! (Although I may needed to install the patch for windows 2000/XP.)
Here is the direct link to that patch:William31 wrote:may i ask where i can find this patch?

If that link doesn't work, go here
http://www.nfsunlimited.net/porsche/utils/
and click on "NFS Porsche patch v. 3.5"
I started playing nfspu last weekend. I patched the game qith the XP compatibility patch vvixxxerr offered, and it runs ok on my PC. The only problem I have is (and I had it before patching) is that vhen racing in evolution mode, in Normandie, the game crashes to desktop after arround 15 secs. It happens only under these circunstances. Sometimes, after trying at least 10 times, I mange to go across that crash point, and I can finish the race properly.
Anyone has an Idea how to fix this?

Hey guys, I have the graphical problem with the choppy daskboard, and the laggy controller option menu, but its everything outside the menu. Whatever you go into a race, the driver, animations, rims and whatnot look very bad. Everything is on high, and the porperies.txt shows that the variables for high settings change when you click "RACE" to a very low setting. Any ideas? The new drivers/video cards seem to lose support for the old games like NFS:PU, because i used to run the game fine on XP with my standard onboard card and the drivers on the CD, try that. (I'm not going to, I'm lazy).
Koffy: Change your camera view for that race or change your paint, worked for me.
EDIT: For the guy stuck w/ the 914, try turning the downforce to 100/100, that works good in evolution mode.

Yes, use the turbo and don't be so greed.
If you are running on pc, you can use this tricky thingy for money. If you buy a used car and rapir it, you can sell it for more money that the cost+fixing. The ones that make you earn a signficant amount are 550, Moby doodle, GT2, 2000GS, 911 RS, and the modern cars, that cost more than 300.000.

Well i just found on one of my old cds an archive with NFSPU. I installed it and i can't set the colour to 32 bit. I can do all other things, i even isntsalled a thw BMW from MW, but i cand get that working. I installed it again from an original copy installed the patch etc. Could you please help me? I really miss NFSPU
Hi, I'm having troubles with NFSP2000 and was wondering if anyone knew a solution.
I have an NZ (?) version, it's branded as Porsche 2000.
P4 1.7ghz (willamette), 512MB PC133, Geforce2MX400, NTFS drive with a secondary FAT32 drive. So not particularly crazy.
I've got the game to run - the 3.5 patch fixed the problems I was having. However the game is SUPER slow. It takes me about 2 minutes to do the first 27 second slalom course.
I've tried deleting gimme.dll, have changed my swapfile size, am running in 98 compatibility, have tried turning all detail settings to low, nothing works.
I tried to upgrade to the Enhanced version, but it does not recognise Porsche 2000 (which is installed in the default directory)
Any ideas?

I have got nearly exactly the same problem, apart from that it still sometimes crashed completely randomly in other places. Always the same place in Normandie.Koffy wrote:I started playing nfspu last weekend. I patched the game qith the XP compatibility patch vvixxxerr offered, and it runs ok on my PC.

I've tried the patches, I've tried compatibility mode, I've tried alot of things. Has there been any new development for this at all? I've just finished NFS Carbon and thought I'd try an older NFS game again, very disappointed that it's so crap under Win XP

Works just fine on winxp/NTFS for me (though the game was originally developed for a fat32 os).
You might have trouble though if your profile has limited disk access (which can be done with ntfs). This however is very rare on home computers, you usually only see it used on corporate machines where it is important to have very specific policies on what the users can or cannot do.

Hey all (digging up an old thread, sue me.)
I have Porsche Unleashed installed on Windows XP, 3.5 Enhanced patch, but my wheel Axis' don't work. If I turn the wheel or push the acceleration/brake pedals, nothing happens. All the buttons on my wheel work fine however, so its not an overall controller issue. I'm using the Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel, with all the latest drivers installed.
I also noticed whenever I go to change a control the screen gets really slow and laggy until I set the control, and then if its a button on my wheel the screen stays laggy. However, if it's a button on my keyboard the screen goes to normal speed.
I know I made a thread about this a few days ago but it got little response, and what response I got didn't fix the problem.

Re: [NFSPU] Running under WinXP/Win2k
To run nfspu in xin xp the esiedt solution I have is:
1) delete gimme.dll file (after thst it will load perfectly)
2) to fix the image manually set your graohics card antisoptic filteringto 4x or 8x
