Title: Is there exist a crash fix for the Need for Speed: Most Wanted?
Post by: misha.physics on May 19, 2024, 10:42 AM
Hi,
honestly I've already lost hope, but maybe there exists some fix/patch today or any other way to completely remove crashes to desktop in the NFS MW (2005) (Black Edition) at high wanted level, during a long chase with police, gas station explosion. It happens almost everytime in the second half of the game. It's just the only one NFS game where I like car physics. Thank you.

Use MWFixes or ZPatch

Thanks. I downloaded ZPatch with *.asi and *.ini files. Is it enough to just move them into the root NFS MW directory?

Or maybe do I need some ASI loader or other tool to instal that ZPatch?

Yeah, and also you must have the Ultimate ASI Loader installed in your game directory

Is it that?:
https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases/tag/v7.2.0
Do I need to download "Ultimate-ASI-Loader.zip" or "Ultimate-ASI-Loader_x64.zip" if my Windows 10 is x64?

Use the first one since NFSMW is a 32-bit program

Thanks. It's just a dinput8.dll file. I downloaded the NFS MW installation which already includes the Widerscreen Fix, and so the dinput8.dll. Should I replace that old file with the newer from GitHub? Or it will be better if I download the NFS MW without any addons?

Use the latest dinput8.dll file since whatever came with your repack might not work alright

I replaced the dinput8.dll file with the new one, and copied the *.asi and *.ini files from ZPatch into the "scripts" directory which already contains *.asi and *.ini files for Widerscreen Fix. Hope it will help. Thanks! I'll try and write here my results later.

Not sure if the ZPatch works correctly since I've got a crash to desktop during a race. But maybe it's not related to the patch.
