Hi... Well here is the Constant Error pic i get all the Time
what cause's this? :(
Please,if anyone Trys to Explain,to me on what to do
y. hard to play are old Classic.
I really need all the Instructions, from a Full Install
to the End. there has to be an Easyier way?
like do i Install JD's Addons/Pak where do i send
Those Files. This is Ruff ok,. i have installed Codecs today
an Dx9 .
Uninstall the pack and game first
Then do a FULL INSTALL of NFSHS first. After it's done, don't take the CD out of the CD drive and run the NFSHS Stock/Expansion pack setup.
Make sure you have this options ticked:
-4.50 patch
-NoCD+NoCollision
-1MB patch
-Vista/Win7 Tweaks
-NFSHS Starter
-Multicore Patch (just in case)
Hey, Awesome ! PaL great Job i have his 115Meg
patch ok i do all that Thursday,thanks for giving me
something to do! That was wrote real well.
an i will write. this down. but were do i send his pack
files,when it ask me to save them? on C:
Just want them to go the rite place. well i was seeing
sum my Videos,i made yrs ago of Replays was fun :)
Thx Again AJ_L.
There's another solution (I personally don't use the SP).
I suppose you're starting the game via a shortcut (perhaps from your desktop)? If so, right click the link, and in the first line that you can edit (likely called 'target' in English Windows?), append " -patchrestart" to what it says in there (without the quotes but WITH the space before the dash.
For some reason, HS tries to update itself or thinks an update has failed under Win 7 and higher, adding this to the launch options will suppress the error and start the game.
You may now end up in the multiplayer lobby of the game, so just go back until you're in the main menu. If you don't care about the lobby, you can deactivate it and automatically start in the main menu. Here's how:
Go to the main folder of HS, the to Data, then to Menus. Rename "connect.mnu" and "RNetLog.mnu" to something else, perhaps "connect.mnu.bak" and "RNetLog.mnu.bak". The files will now not be found by the game's exe and it will fall back to the main menu.
Hey,hi I try to Catch all you said Pal sum don't stick well.
Its to bad i have No Isp at home,to type better with.
I never had any luck much Editing,the property,
in the Games shortcut at all. i use that Compatibility,modr

all this Administor stuff i say I'm that. no go.
ok i have copy all you said an AjL an put this on a Txt on.my pc
Im busy today more. we bad having Storms
Winds. so,i think renaming those files like you told
will work better if i ever get her Running?
So i can be back at main menu. thanks Xj220
Sry i was late on Reply. its Ruff out there u know...

HS launcher MUST run with admin rights, don't try any compatibility modes other than XP/7.
The Launcher ? Whst JDs pack? So what i do go to propertys
on that before install,an say I'm the chk box Admin

too Properly.

in the pac Sure is weird. i choosr duel core pc.
an i made a pic shows all Successful.. but won't Run
No Good. huh
Check in your NFSHS shortcut properties if it links to nfshs.exe and not to nfshsgame.exe, like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed\nfshs.exe"
Also, check if there's a nfshs.exe.manifest file in your HS folder
I'm just Bummed,Out... Buddy I've done all you mentioned,The Monitor
did this Big Flicker,like in 256 color mode,it wanted to start.
There sure is some Conflict going on??
I Feel its not ment to be,i put my days in? I have no
other clues to do. I'm tired now :(
It keeps giving the same error after that Flick s*ht.
So... all i did was back out game in that exe.
yes i have that Manfest.exe file.
Its just Not any Good... Feeling when Stuff don't
work... after all the Effort,we do!., an the Help..

(Post fixed - Remko)
What's this Code thing?
In here messing up my post.
(EPIC FAIL BS!!)
I will always Remember old
NfsHs... ..
Um... which 'path' are you following now, exactly? It seems to me you might be mixing up AJ's and my advice? It's an either-or thing, I'd say.
So, did you install the Stock Pack? If so, follow what AJ said and ignore me ;)
By the way, I do not use any compatibility modes and do not need any special rights, either (I think, lol, who needs UAC).
Hey,hey! Do you want hear the Good News?!!
I got my old game running good today.!! yes I'm pretty
Happy Now lol! I just have keep it this way! :)
Were can i find Serial # Lister,i can't hack her up to
much today! Man I'm glad she Runs good on all High
setting,yes i used J.D.s 4.50 pak
i made the better choices,this time.
(I Guess. i was happy then? "Pass Tense?"
Oh hey, that's great. What a relief. :D I'm glad you didn't give up.
I was going to point you to our NFS HS Tools section for the Serial Number Editor, until I had a look and realized we don't have it on our site yet. ??? I'll do something about that soon.
In the meantime, here is the SNE attached. Happy racing.
Hi Relief huh lol (must been emails? :)
I just got home,burr sum,i wanted say
I'm not all happy,about the (No Collision with other cars)
But seems,like this was only way my game,was
ever,going to Run? Well i drive thru Ghosts cars? why. :/
Okay thx Remko i try to get the file on here.
See i been away A long time.. and they Keep
updating pcs too much. how can i Run
NFS Wizard when it's not a Win NT program?
I can't see how i can edit my car vivs an all.
cause i been away,i mean so i don't get any more
conflicts...
Well,I'm going to thankful for what i have.. i better lol!
It won't let me Write more,so i will say i try to use Serial U gave.
I'm just going to Drive down my Tracks tonite,in Single
player an look at,sum nice stuff. man i sureI found have a lot
bad people where,i live. out my windows... :(
i have forget about them... big Time. i never talk to them!
Ok Topic.. I Found my Pursuit: Semi i might upload,this
weekend its a,AAA class. okay. i lost a lot cars i had. so
Have a Gnight :)
Well, I imagined it might be a relief for you, that's what I meant. ;) Like I said good thing you didn't give up.
Also, thanks to AJ and XJ220 for all their advices, I wasn't sure what the best solution was myself.
About NFSWizard, I was able to install that by running the installer (nfswiz05.exe) in Compatibility Mode for Windows 98/me, that's all.
Once it was installed, I didn't need to run the tool itself in any compatibility mode, so far it's working fine for me.
I have gave xj220 an Ajl thx remko.
I still have a game problem tho that's not no good.
i have rest now. thx ask the new guy i told him
what's going on in game. EscobarJp
I just installed 2 nice Cop Units from Police HQ
An My Bonus Camaro ;)
@ Aj_L. Hi what's the good purpose of the pack,when i
choose,that No Collisions ? I found out in my game.
it's no good. i can't hit no cars or cops they drive,rite-
thu me. like Ghost Cars,i don't like it at all..?
why does this happen,for? did JD's want it this way.
u know i had Select that with the No Cd. Is there
anyway i can fix this. to be better? More Normal i
mean.
I Wonder why I'm Divorced,huh ;)
That 32bit sure looks much nicer,when its on!
I try not making,such i big deal out this :}
My HT track is nice. i Seen Code 4's Atlantic tonight
(Also got Nfs Wiz working good Thx Remko 8)

That's why I don't use the Stock Pack ;) Custom solutions ftw :D
10-4, I'm Reading Loud an clear! :) Xj220
Yepper's, I just Rememberd were there @! 8)
@AJ_L i tried that pal,but wasn't working for me?...
Thx too :}
Thx
You have to set damage to "full"
Yeah, that's about the only issue I have with the SP/EP, the only way to make you cars 'solid' is to set Damage/Collision 'on' under Driver Assists, but then your car will take more and more damage each time you hit something, always busting your lights during night and weather mode (although that's also because I'm not very good).
I believe someone made an alternative version of the nfshs.exe that DID allow you to have Collision On and Damage Off, but I'm having trouble finding it at the moment. I'll report later when I find it.
How much does the SP rely on the executables that come with it being used?
I am using a... modified 4.50 exe (the game's in my shelf twice :P) which does not alter collision at all. But like I said, I don't use the SP to begin with.
Sry Remko for that. I'm not dealing with that no more.
it's because,i took out the Mecrury patch was all.
But i get that Error now. :(
brb ok.
@ xj220 pal can you lead me to the
4.50 patch,I'm getting,that 1meg error.
now. Game still runs...
good, brb
I'm not at Library its Rainy. :P
Very difficult on Android. man.
i know there's sum.patch but i don't want it
messing up.my 3D device always did?
How can i fix this now.without .
Reinstalling,cause I'm not doing that.!
mondays huh :}
The Mercury patch is what fixes the 1 MB error so you'd better reinstall it ;)
In case you need it: http://www.nfscars.net/file/view/highstakes/5365.aspx
And if you have the Stock Pack installed, the 4.50 patch is included? I think? I am pretty sure.
Hey, Xj220 I tried your link that File didn't fix it at all?
But i tried,yes i guess,it has the 4.50 ver. in there.
um, so thx anyway. I hope Remko can find one?
I just don't want mess up my game more...
Just a Real Drag re-doing my Setting all the time
Testing my Track,etc. i just always,Turn Collisions bak off.
Just don't like Smashed up cars,always. I'm glad i can make
my Old Track better,i know i Lack Skills,but Id care so much.
Huh so the game runs AND shows the 1 MB error? That is... weird.
It Finally Stopped,Running i Reinstalled,used JDs Patch.

=====================
Day:2. Well hi I'm going in RegEdit today
clean out all,Nfs Atemps Reboot see if helps any.
Finish my picture :) Constant Rain up here makes me
to Sore last few days. @ Xj220 i Pm. you
Don't give up yet WiLL, it has worked before, that means it can work again. But yeah, it can be very frustrating trying to pinpoint what is the cause of all troubles after you've tried several fixes. :(
Believe me that there have been a lot of people over the years with similar issues like the PatchRestart error at the start of the thread, so there's also a lot of people that have been busy solving it
I haven't had much time this week to look for that modified .exe file, or test it myself, but I like i promised, I will get back here about it (Just so there is no confusion: that file is only about fixing the collision issue, it's not a guaranteed fix for any other problems)
Alright, let me try to write down my setup step-by-step (has been a while since I set my game up).
- Install the game, full installation.
- Update to version 4.50.
- Install the 1MB fix.
- Add -patchrestart to the startup options of your shortcut to nfshs.exe.
- Optional for convenience: rename menu files as described in one my previous posts.
- Replace d3da.dll in main folder with nappe1's (see attachments).
I *think* that is all. Though I am running the game in 3dfx mode as D3D did not work for me on Win7... I think? But let's first try the steps outlined above. I am sure we'll make your game work properly ;)
I hear you Remko... :) an Thx too Good luck too,both of us.
Really.
Xj220 Looks Intresting,all i know is i don't do so well,with
um,Runr guys 1Meg Error,files an that big Html,file Instr.
So this looks different,hope better. um, So are you saying i don't .
Use ah,JDs pack,in this Setup then? trying be clear
Okay i try find time today to give shots to this. Thx,Officer. i be Clear
Yes i DL the File,looks good. I just got the Game going again,
But i just... should of Tried your way. thing is i Saved all
my Data folder,has all my Tracks,Cars so was good.
i thought that Mercury patch,still was Connected to u know
others ok. thx again XJ220 :)
Below me. Freak Ds i guess I'm all good now Thx too! :}
PatchRestart is usually simply the error to run HS witch compatibility mode when it was patched with the SP/EP. For the collision issue, just uncheck "no collision patch" in the SP or EP setup.
Good to see the game's finally doing what it's supposed to :)
Yeah!... Hope it Stays that way? How many Fraps" you
Getting on your game? I'm getting about 60 an Less
is good tho np. boss 8)
