Modern NFS4 Patch

Hello Folks,
I'm 'new' to the board but NOT new to NFS HS, as you might assume well.
I've been co-operating with Nils for some time .... yeeeears ago, remember me Nils?

Ok, reading the news about the modern NFS4 patch was fantastic indeed and at first I couldn't believe it as many of you did ... tried it out .. worked instantly (since I'm running GLide Wrapper anyway) .. fantastic results, even with costly tracks, which WAS a problem like Norwegen SE or so.

BUT! The large NGlide Glide3x.dll driver that Veg uses was and is a bit laggy (for me, but I have the NGlide's Glide2x.dll still in my \drivers32 directory for ehrrm.. GEX3D - Enter the Gecko *sweet* little retro game), so i found out a way to get around this:
Rename the Glide3x.dll (Glide3x.dl_ or so) in the NFS/drivers directory from Veg
Install Zeckensack's 0.84c (if it still isn't ;)
Start NFS4.exe once to register it to the Glide Configurator from 0.84c
Configure ('Specific Application overrides') -> 'NFS4.exe' in the Glide Configurator that way:
'Try High Res' checked
'Vertical sync' - always off - checked
all other unchecked

BTW you will never see loading the game from screen that fast as you will do from now on, I promise.

Greetings
Frank

P.S.: @REMKO Registering to the board (activation email missing ..) is still hard, can that be changed sometimes?

You can set ThrashDriver=Glide3x, and it will use your system glide3x.dll. It's not needed to remove glide3x.dll from the nglide directory.
