NFS:Most Wanted Problem!!!!HELP!!

[DABhand]

There has to be an autorun.inf or the CD or DVD wont auto start.


There is a safemode_inst.exe I think thats a safe mode installer, sorta like if you have problems use this instead.

[DABhand]

Have you looked in the Autorun folder?


There is an autorun.cfg also there, open it with notepad and look for


DirectXVersion=9.0c

Change the 9.0c to 0

I didn't found anything in the Autorun folder expect some icons....Oh yeah i have tried to set the autorun.exe for win2000 compability but it didn't work out...I think the game is okay because i tried installing direct9.0c from other games but it didn't work out...so the problem is with direct9.0c,,,,Help!!!

You cant have a legit version then, mine has the autorun.inf and Autorun folder with the autorun.cfg in it.

It is NOT a problem with DirectX at all, its the installer for the game. Others have had problems with it, and if its so much of an issue why havent you contacted the publisher?

I'm telling you i tried installing directX 9.0c from other game's just like Bet On Soldier and i had the same problem...Please help!!!The problem is with directX 9.0c!!

Then your DirectX must not be installed right. Which is unfortunate since it wont install onto itself.


Again if you read the games' forum it will show many people with the same problem installing the game with the directx installation.

For DirectX problems try using the 'XPLite' program to fix it. Now I havent used it personally but I have heard good things about it! You can find a fully working trial version of XPLite here. You can also read more about it at the same site. Remember I have not used it personally!! But if you have directX problems it may just help you!
Also you say you cannot see the 'Autorun.inf' file on your CD/DVD?
This could be caused by a couple of things!
Firstly try this:
In Windows Explorer, go to the 'Tools' menu, then 'Folder Options', then to the 'View' tab. Now check that the Green dot is in "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
Also whilst in the 'View' box, untick "Hide Extensions for Known File Types".
Then click the 'Apply' button.
Then near the top of the 'View' box, click the "Apply to all Folders" button.
Now you should be able to see the Autorun.inf file!

That is your problem, some other game you have played has made you install dx9c not gave you option to skip as you already have it, i had same prob as you with both demo and full game, NFS-MW demo comes with june or july dx9c and mines was oct dx9c i think F.E.A.R installed it i cant be sure i have played lot of games recently.

I didnt know NFS-MW came on dvd, on the 4cd version you simply explore cd1 (dvd will be same) and set your " AutoRun.exe " to Win 2000 mode to install the game.

Others have told you to edit the dx9c part, have you even tried this yet ?.

Apparently there is no DVD version, so its homebrew and someone never put on the autorun stuff.

Hope this will help.
This is the problem I encountered with this game: after updating directx, rebooting, installing and playing for a while, I started having some unexpected and totally casual slowdown during the game. At first I thought that my gfx (Mobility Radeon 9600 128, yes I'm a laptop owner) was dying, but after a while the game returned at its "normal speed". Then I read in this topic about Dual-Core issues. As my Laptop procio is a 3.06 HT, i tried the imagecfg trick, without luck. So I decided to try with other games which never gave me problems (PES 5, Madagascar and Painkiller Black Edition). And, surprise surprise, also Mad and PK had continuous slowdowns, while PES hadn't. I decided to reinstall my OS and after that the first and only game I installed was NFS. Again, same problem, also with other games.
Today, I reinstalled Windows again; but then I tried with Madagascar and Painkiller. Guess what? No more slowdowns. I don't know if NFS modifies also System32 directory files, actually I can only think that directx dlls which come with the game aren't suitable for my gfx card.
If someone experienced the same probs, please post here his opinion, I would appreciate.
Oh, just the last thing: I tried setting the game at min res and min details, then at 1024x768 mid-high details and v-sync enabled: it was choppy anyway. How is it possible? -----> The game is crap, and programmers should be ashamed to consider "complete" a game like this, which is programmed with feet. Anyway, they will never see my money again, maybe next time they will concentrate more on beta-testing and less on copy-prot.
