I found I was stuck like that for a race or two, seemed like everyone was faster than me, just use a decent crew member they CAN be helpful :p (when they aint making you crash)
Dosent matter, since I've got "Unable to load savegame" problem.

Completed already. Went RX-8 - RX-7 - Skyline.

My car seemed to steer itself sometimes, has anyone else found this or is it just my wheel?

Mines started to do this now (44% done) started off great with the rx8 now im in the rx 7 and the steering feels really wooly now :confused: seems like the deadzone is loose and does the old usa wardrobe on wheels thing where u can move the wheel side to side quite a lot and it doesnt turn the car :(

logitech momo wheel black one btw, carnt see no settings to alter the deadzone its driving me nuts as drift races are virtually impossible now :mad: shame really cos i was having fun until this started.........

Hi all,

Does anybody else have an annoying steering problem with this game? I'm trying to control it using a ps2 joypad attached via usb, but the car just pulls to the right all the time. It'll only drive straight if I jam the cotroller acroos to the far left!

I seem to remember there being a similar problem and fix for nfs underground - can anyone remember what it is!?

Yup I had that problem using a MoMo wheel, couldn't work out what was wrong with it, unplugged the USB=>PS2 Controller and it stopped straight away.

It's way more fun with a steering wheel :D (Just wish I had the new one with the clutch pedal)

thanks for replay helps that im not the only one and i know there is nothing wrong with my pc and no more chasing my own tail trying to figure out whats up :p
 
I got it today and have had no problems with it so far. 11% throught it so far today.

Is it me or is the drift stupidly harder than what it was on Underground and Underground 2. Seems to be much harder for me.

Must be something wrong here, running on an X2 3800 at 2.7Ghz, 1Gb of mem and an Xt1800 XT PE 512mb and it chuggs badly on full settings.

I know the feeling I have the same problem with Most Wanted.. I have a X1900 XT with the latest drivers and 1.3 game patch installed and it still runs pants :(

I dont like the bounty side of things, 20 police cars and a 20 minute chase to get rid of them isnt fun, its boring.. Why did they ruin such a great game?

Not impressed at all with the game...

I dunno why some ppl think NFSC drift is hard, I have an SS somewhere of a 500k drift gna dig it out!

What kind of settings can I expect to set with my system:

P3.2 @ 3.5, 2gb Corsair ram, Gainward 7800GS+

I know that I cannot set it to "maximum" quality, as I tried that earlier and it seems to go a bit slower at that level.

Not sure what type of system you would need to get the maximum quality for this kind of game!?

very similar to mine , p4 3.2 2.5gb AGP 512mb 7900GS
actually seems to run better with full detail, 1280* maxed out ...
havent played it much tho ..
 
Had a quick blast on this, something doesn't feel right about the handling/controls. Steering feels really delayed, kinda 'spongey'. I increased my FPS a lot and tried a different car which helped a little but it still doesn't feel anywhere near as responsive as NFS:MW

Oh, and for those concerned about framerate, I found the "Shader Detail" and "Visual Treatment" settings make a big difference. e.g. with my current settings in the menu:

High shader detail = 52fps
Medium shader detail = 74fps
Low shader detail = 170fps

Visual Treatment high = 56fps
Visual treatment low = 74fps
 
Just played this game and I think the series is heading the wrong direction!

NFS:Underground 1 and 2 was awesome but most wanted and carbon just dont do it for me anymore.

wtf with this tag team crap!

what do you guys think?

I would love to see NFS: Underground 3.
 
I so agree with you nolimit... Trying to get into Most Wanted and I so cant!! :(

Oh, why did I have to uninstall Underground 1 to install Most Wanted??

Underground 2 in my opinion was the best :D
 
I liked Most Wanted. i.e: A lot more than the Underground series. I thought it was a return to the good old Hot Pursuit game and it really did rock. All it needed was a night race mode and maybe some canyons - thats the only thing Carbon did that I want to see in a future game.

Most Wanted is as good as it got, I fear :(
 
I so agree with that comment!

I think that the Most Wanted was the best that they have made in the series so far, as I am finding carbon a bit hard to get used to at all, as I preferred the chasing of the cars, and going through all the relevant stages to get to go for the next guy on the black list.

Also, having someone that took your car and acting like a complete jerk, there is a perfect reason to beat him at the end of the game :D

Carbon has better graphics, but requires a more modern machine to see all the improvements that have been made. There seems to be a bit more of a dividing line in this Carbon re hash, as some hate it, some love it. Always becomes a number 1 in the multi-format charts though, everytime!
 
Playstation2 Ctrl

Hi,

I am using an AtominPlay Playstation 2 to USB Converter and the PS2 Controller, but in the game the car just pulls left, i cannot change the mapping in the settings in NFSC but they seem fine. Anyone else having this issue or know a fix

yes if you read the thread you will see there are a few of us with the same problem :)
 
The annoying thing is there WAS a fix for this issue for a previous installment of the NFS series but I can't for the life of me find it anymore...

[edit]

Scartch that, I've fixed it!

go to Device Manager. Click Human Interface Devices. Select the second of the HID-compliant game controllers and disable it.

It appears that the second port was interfering with the game. If you've got a 2nd gamepad plugged in the pad centres itself - without one, the second pad constantly pulls left/right. By diasbling the second socket, NFS doesn't get confused anymore!

I actually quite like the Wingman thing - adds a bit of atmosphere to the races. Also quite a nice feeling if you don't win the race, but your teammate does :)

The storyline is developing OK for me, I'm 49% through and it hasn't made me vomit yet. They've done a much better job on the FMV sequences this time in terms of them looking realistic.
 
Not a happy bunny.

OMG this game well agnoyed me before.

I unlocked the SLR, so I wanted to get it, but I had to sell a car. It said that my DB9 was worth 100,000, the SLR is like 220,000 or something and I had 130,xxx so I thought ill sell the DB9, buy the SLR do it up with the mney I have left over and do a few races and do it up some more.

So i sell my awesome DB9 and for some reason my money only goes up to 193,xxx :eek: I was like you ******* game what the hell wheres the rest of my ******* money. So I couldnt buy the SLR. So then I decided to buy the SL65 AMG, but then I had to sell my bloody great Alfa Brera. It said that it was worth 40,000 and when I sell it, I get just over 20,000 for it.

What the hell.... So i then have to do a few more bloody drifts so that I can get the money to do up my SL65.

I got really agnoyed and because auto save was on it saved it as soon as I sold the DB9. :mad: But all is well now my SL65 kicks ass, and its time to batter Darius and his little crew. :D :D


**Just wanted to get that off my chest ****** me off loads**
