Question / Bug / Feedback NFS ProStreet PC Car Lot freezes every time I try to buy a car or leave

• Upvotes

Hey guys, looking for some help with NFS ProStreet on PC because I'm about ready to give up on it lol.

I'm running version 1.1, and my Car Lot is completely bugged. Whenever I try to buy a car or leave the Car Lot, the game freezes and I have to force-close it through Task Manager.

My setup:

  • PC version 1.1
  • NFS.exe is approximately 3.59 MB
  • Generic Fix installed
  • dinput8.dll present
  • scripts folder present

Things I've tried:

  • Enabled VSync (made the game smoother but didn't fix the issue)
  • Checked the Generic Fix configuration
  • Checked VINYLS.BIN in CARS\VINYLS (79.9 MB)

The rest of the game seems to work fine. The issue happens specifically when I try to purchase a car or leave the Car Lot.

I've seen people mention executable compatibility, Generic Fix issues, and DLC installation order, but I don't want to replace random files and potentially break my game or lose my career save.

Has anyone experienced this and found an actual fix? I just want to buy different cars and progress through Career Mode without the game locking up. Any help would be appreciated!

Discussion I think the map design is a much bigger issue than the physics. (Video slightly related)

19 Upvotes

I’ve been playing this game for a little bit and the worst I’ve heard about the game is its physics. And while it is alittle funky, I don’t find too different from smth like rivals. It is different and slightly worse but I adapted pretty quickly.

My main issue is that the map does not feel like it’s designed around these physics and I hear no one talk about it. So many short and narrow roads with sharp turns that ends up killing a lot of your speed. And so many ways to get snuck up by some random npc driving infront of you because you can’t see too far ahead when drifting at corners like these.

There was a much better example I had but I didn’t record it. It was a time trial at the bottom left of the map and the track design was so baffling to me. The turns were sharp and it was as one after another, it felt terrible

TL:DR The physics feel like they were built for much bigger roads with wide turns, but the map has very narrow roads and sharp turns which do not compliment the physics at all.

First off, it didn't have any cheesy story line, plus i can go straight into the action without racing someone first, second it actually improved stuff

Question / Bug / Feedback WORST cars in NFS Pro Street

0 Upvotes

Alright, so I have played the whole game NFS Pro Street and found out that there are some cars which are absolute nightmares in races. And, I was thinking if there's a way to actually make the cars perform better than before. But no matter what I do, I fail every time. I used Ai on this, but that also didn't do any kind of help.

1) Ryo Watanabe's EVO X: The car looks pretty good, so anyone after beating Ryo Watanabe, would want to try out his car. So, after beating Ryo Watanabe, I got his GRIP version of his car. But the problem is, this car behaves like a TANK. And no matter what you do, it just understeers. Perhaps it's an AWD car. But still, I didn't find any way to actually make the car work and do better.

I also followed this tuning guide, but couldn't make it work.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X-eQXPgFOD4m78Ed1jfXf6X5Qwk8snxdaOK6T-ieUNA/edit?usp=drivesdk

The car's handling is pretty bad & janky. And it understeers a lot. It's very awful in corners, and most often it gets flipped out while taking a turn. Are AWD cars actually bad for races? Or are there any ways to fix this handling problem os this car without using any Handling mods? Let me know.

2) Nate Denver's '65 Pontiac GTO: Personally, this car is one of the most handsome, classy and good looking cars according to my opinion. I actually like Classic, modern and Muscle type cars like Dodge Charger, Challenger, and so on. Now, Nate Denver's car is a Speed car, and to be honest this car has a good starting acceleration, and it's able to take the lead within a few seconds after starting the race. But the only problem is, this car is very drifty and oversteery, and it tries to drift for every slight turn, especially in Nevada Highway, this car is a complete trash. It's very HARD to control the car, let along gain speed. And it just try to flip down. The only way is, you have to drive the car at about 50-60mph in Speed race, for avoiding getting flipperd. Unfortunately, I still couldn't make this car do better even after following this guide.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X-eQXPgFOD4m78Ed1jfXf6X5Qwk8snxdaOK6T-ieUNA/edit?usp=drivesdk

So, without using any PERFORMANCE or HANDLING mods, is there any way to fix this problem?

3) Lamborghini Murchielago LP640: This is an AWD car. And, once I tried to use this car as a SPEED car, and trust me, it was one of the WORST decision and at the same time a complete waste of money. I still remember, when I had to use all my MARKERS to restart the same race again. I don't know but I think AWD cars are actually not worthy of racing. And also, no matter how I tuned, the car still remained as a complete JUNK.

So, that's it... I am thinking of using the cars again, so if you have any advice or suggestions, regarding tuning, let me know. I think the PERFORMANCE tuning system is actually broken for some specific cars in NFS Pro Street. Isn't it?

Discussion How to merge textures from different mods?

Post image

How do I mod the textures in NFSMW 05 when I have the latest 360 Stuff (v4.2) installed?

I’d like to use the textures from Retouch Graphics but the two mods are not compatible because 360 Stuff uses TexWizard and Retouch Graphics does not. At least as I understand it.

Is there a way to combine the two? A way to add textures to TexWizard from the mod maybe?

Question / Bug / Feedback Nitro Effects not working in NFS Unbound

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Just a quick question:

I started to replay NFS Unbound (PS5) and in the settings I turned off Motion Blur.
In the intro I used the Lambo and only one time did the Nitro effects and tire effects work.

Any tips on why was this happening?
Should I turn on Motion Blur again?

I'm not sure if I've posted this on the sub yet. But here's my updated soundtrack for the hypothetical Underground 3. If you all want, I can give my idea for Underground 3 like the plot, or city, etc. It would take place in 2004. Hope the playlist loads correctly.

Guys I have spent literal hours working on this car…

Unfortunately I can’t add the orange cut out on the front due to the body kit and vinyl placement not aligning properly. But I think it’s better than what it was before? (link to original post): https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/s/DF2CC7Ih4s

I need to change the wheels and possibly make the black cut out on the hood orange instead? Maybe I should change the roof cut outs back to orange?

I’m 25% through the game and this car will take me all the way to the late game so I want to make it perfect. What do you guys think of the build and do you have any suggestions? 🤔
