Running a Q9550, which NFS Shift uses around 50% of at most, so I don't think it's that either.

I'm not sure, while overall cpu usage isn't MEGA high on my i5, it was giving at least 2 of the cores a reasonable amount of load. I could see a E5200 @ 3ghz potentially bottlenecking it in places.

The duel invitational between the Ford GT (my car) and the Viper is the devil incarnate! I must have re-run the deciding race aver 50 times in "pro" mode before I had to let it go...

Initially I found that fairly hard, however revisiting it after getting more used to the game and it wasn't so bad. Basically you just have to make sure you handle that right-hander properly coming over the hill i.e. don't let it slide out wide into the gravel. In the last 3rd of the race you can make up a lot of ground as the Viper slows down too much on the last few bends, you can just blast right by him.

Failing that I always find roughhouse tactics work quite well in the duels, if you spin them out you can often pull away. The Viper does seem tougher to take out than some cars though.

have sent to your hotmail. Email me if different.

Can anyone send me the first Realmod, seems the links have been removed by the author. Not bothered about the handling differences but loved the different cockpit cam that he seems to have buggered up in v2.

Got a game stopping bug over the weekend where my car wouldn't move off the line in the Viper race. Had to sell all my cars just to get it to move!!! You'd have thought someone would have noticed that one in testing.....

Have found a file that just adds a closer up cockpit cam so you see more of the view ahead rather than the car.

" One of the biggest changes for me has been to increase the physics tick rate. If you've unpacked the files I think it's in physicstweaker.xml. The default is only 180, I've done a bit of testing of tick rate vs fps and settled on 500. 720 works, but the fps drop is a bit much when there are a lot of physics calcs going on. If you've got a stronger CPU (mines an E6600@3GHz) you could probably go a bit higher quite comfortably "

Not sure if this is old news or not. Sounds promising at least.

how is everyone taking screenshots? xfire doesnt work and if i printscreen its just a black screen.

I use xfire, if you go into options in xfire and select the game and change to manually detect I believe that will resolve it. You will know as it will say xfire enabled game when you go in.

It is so much easier than fraps if it does work :)

easier than hitting a single key :p

Fraps - Hit F10, work out where you want to host possibly photo bucket - upload to there, set descriptions etc and then link in

Xfire - Scroll lock s, on exiting game auto shows screenshots and choose which ones you want. Pictures stores by game

Which is easier?

Ian Bell has said that he is aware of the issues and are being dealt with. As for another patch, that will come but not sure when.

In other news:-

"While other mods for Need for Speed Shift have already improved the title’s graphics and physics, xupeko’s Pro Career Mod aims to extends Shift’s career mode.

Changes by this mod include changes to the race length by factor five, getting rid of the very short two-lap events. The required points to level up have also been increased by the same factor to suit the new race length, the prize money awarded for new levels has been decreased to further slow down the career mode and make it more rewarding.

Xupeko points out that this mod is meant to be used with Dario Morelli’s Real Mod 2.0b, installation is as simple as overwriting some files".
