New Game X for NFS Underground 2 by SeventySev3n/77Vids

README

Heya, this is SeventySev3n! Thank you very much for downloading New Game X for NFS Underground 2!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you back up all game files prior to this mod's installation so you
can easily go back to the vanilla/unmodified version, should you face any issues.

This mod was not designed to work with any other mods, aside from the following.

Recommended Additional Mods:
NFSU2 Unlimiter with Extra Customization by nlgzrgn
NFSU2 Extra Options by ExOpts Team

Playing with other mods, aside from the one's listed, is not recommended.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation Instructions:

Firstly, make sure your copy of Underground 2 is updated to Version 1.2. If not, you can
download this from here:
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1065-need-for-speed-undergound-2-patches/

Once that's ready, copy and paste the contents of the 'Need for Speed Underground 2'
folder into where you have Underground 2 installed
(default directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Need for Speed Underground 2").

You can quickly get to this by right-clicking on the UG2 shortcut on your desktop and
selecting 'Open file location'.

Make sure to override all pre-existing files.

You'll then have to apply the US NFSU2 1.2 no-CD Patch created by HOODLUM. A no-CD patch is
required to make the game work on Windows 10 but this specific one by HOODLUM is needed as it
allows the Visual Rep fix by thelink2012 to function.

However, I, unfortunately, don't think I can link this to you, but you should be able to find it by
searching for "NFS Underground 2 1.2 NO CD HOODLUM" on any search engine. Make sure to
override the original 'speed2.exe'.

If you aren't able to find it then, as a last resort, you can play NGX without the Visual Rep Remover
mod by going into your 'scripts' folder and removing the 'novisualrep.asi' file from that folder.

But that's it! Simply run the game as usual and set the difficulty in-game to Hard, in order
to get the intended experience.
