--- Comment #4 from Zach Goldberg zgold550@gmail.com 2008-02-03 00:26:28 --- I've been messing with the demo (available http://www.nfshome.com/demos.php) and have not had a terrible amount of luck.
I have gotten the speedtrap race to work about 5 times in total. Maybe 50 tries; messing with tons of settings/tracks/cars. However; the speedtrap race did work perfectly those 5 times. From stsrt to finish the experience felt near perfect. The game is definetely really close to being perfect.
Other things to note: Installer worked fine Game crashes on video settings change (Rarely) sound would crash but game would continue With some video options the game would start, but output a ton of repeated warnings in STDOUT and the game would run at 1 or 2 FPS. Cannot reproduce now but could do so before i begin messing with stuff.
