Issues fixed

Stuttering Fix

By default, the game places its processing load on the first CPU core only, which causes occasional framerate dips on most systems. To fix this, you must change the affinity of the NFS11.exe process to exclude CPU 0; after doing this, it places its load equally across the remaining cores.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/47870/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (47870) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
