Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game.
Can't install both NFS Underground and NFS Most Wanted (2005) on the same PC
- This problem occures because both games use the same name for their main executables (
speed.exe
). After installing one game and attempting to install the other, its autorun program assumes it's already been installed.
Can't set shadows on Intel GPU
- On a PC with Intel GPU (or with Nvidia Optimus technology), the Shadow detail option is inactive.
