Need for speed is one of the most famous racing game franchises. The quality of the product is maintained with every new part, so even the very first games still have a dedicated fan base.
Instructions
Step 1
To run the early parts of the game, use additional software. The fact is that these products were developed under conditions of incompatibility with Windows, therefore, to run them on modern systems, you will need to use Dos-box programs and, possibly, CPU Killer. The first emulates a system with low technical characteristics inside your computer (to make the game more comfortable to work with them), and the second limits the processor power to avoid excessive speed of the game. Instructions for using the programs are easy to find when downloading.
Step 2
Use compatibility. Starting with Porshe Unleashed, the launch problem is solved without installing additional programs. For Windows XP there are no problems at all, on Windows 7 you will have to set "compatibility settings" with the 98th version of the operating system. Also, it may be necessary to install an additional patch for Vista, because this OS generally has big problems with the perception of old products.
Step 3
Check the drivers before running the last parts of the game. Despite the fact that the Underground series is not yet very demanding on the hardware, it will refuse to run without the appropriate DirectX (version 8.2 and higher). On the other hand, Shift may simply refuse to work on weak video cards and processors. Therefore, rest assured that your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
Step 4
NFS Online is an MMO project. This means that the game takes place on a single server between all players at the same time. After downloading the client, you will need to register your account on the game's website, after which you will be allowed to enter the world. However, you can play only by developing to a certain level: to use all the offered features, you will have to purchase the full version of the game. Also, do not forget that you will be required to have a constant and stable Internet connection - without it, the game will refuse to start.
