NFS:Most Wanted Problem!!!!HELP!!

[DUKE_NUKEM]

Hope this will help.
This is the problem I encountered with this game: after updating directx, rebooting, installing and playing for a while, I started having some unexpected and totally casual slowdown during the game. At first I thought that my gfx (Mobility Radeon 9600 128, yes I'm a laptop owner) was dying, but after a while the game returned at its "normal speed". Then I read in this topic about Dual-Core issues. As my Laptop procio is a 3.06 HT, i tried the imagecfg trick, without luck. So I decided to try with other games which never gave me problems (PES 5, Madagascar and Painkiller Black Edition). And, surprise surprise, also Mad and PK had continuous slowdowns, while PES hadn't. I decided to reinstall my OS and after that the first and only game I installed was NFS. Again, same problem, also with other games.
Today, I reinstalled Windows again; but then I tried with Madagascar and Painkiller. Guess what? No more slowdowns. I don't know if NFS modifies also System32 directory files, actually I can only think that directx dlls which come with the game aren't suitable for my gfx card.
If someone experienced the same probs, please post here his opinion, I would appreciate.
Oh, just the last thing: I tried setting the game at min res and min details, then at 1024x768 mid-high details and v-sync enabled: it was choppy anyway. How is it possible? -----> The game is crap, and programmers should be ashamed to consider "complete" a game like this, which is programmed with feet. Anyway, they will never see my money again, maybe next time they will concentrate more on beta-testing and less on copy-prot.

Hang on, the game may run like crap, on your system, but I personally thought the game was well done and a lot better than the NFS Underground games!
Without going into details about my system specs I managed to play the game with all settings on maximum and the game ran perfectly.
I think you are giving the game a bad review only because it doesnt run perfect on your machine?
Like any game I believe it all depends on the system you are trying to run it on.

As I already said, i tried different settings and the game never ran smoothly, I don't think that a p4 3.06 HT with 1Gb RAM and a 128 Video Card isn't enough to run a game smoothly at 640x480 and min quality, don't ya think?
But maybe you prefer to talk about the crappy IA, which makes rivals stop to wait for ya, or maybe about the fact that the weather doesn't really affect the driving model. And what about the strange fact that a Punto is able to beat a Toyota Supra?
You can say what you want about the 2 Underground, but they are honest games of illegal races, not a bad arcade with a heavy gfx engine and a lot of bugs; for me NFS ended with Hot Pursuit 2, a big game with beautiful cars and a lot of variety.
I can even tolerate a game which is too heavy for what it really shows on screen (i.e. FEAR), but if you sum a lot of bugs which also affect pc performances in other games, are you still sure this is a decent game?
An advice: go around and search the forums all over the world; you'll find a lot of people which are not completely happy of this game.
If it runs well on your pc, it doesn't mean it is a well-programmed game, maybe you're just lucky. And maybe you need to open your eyes.

What you refer to here is 'realism'. It has nothing to do with being crappy! What do you honestly expect from a car game! Anyone can say those things about any game. Have you ever known anyone to do over 300kph through city streets then crash into a car and be able to keep driving!? All car games (all games in fact) are unrealistic! I know this as I actually play 'with my eyes open'!! And I have never noticed the AI stop to let me catch up? Maybe you should try staying in front of the AI instead of behind!
And I wasnt knocking the Underground games! They were good games but I feel 'Most Wanted' is better. But how can you say they were honest games? Again cars doing unrealistic speeds through crowded city streets and performing unrealistic jumps!? Yeh real honest!
I still feel it is because of your system that you have troubles with this game!
I only have, P4 3.2 HT, 2gig Ram, 256mb Graphic card and like I said ran the game on Max settings but at 1024x768. Your machine should be able to run it a lot better than 'Minimum settings at 640x480'? So you have a problem with your system somewhere! Again you are criticizing a game because of the machine it is running on!

If it runs well on your pc, it doesn't mean it is a well-programmed game,

I agree, but if it runs bad on your system it does not mean it is a bad programmed game either!! I think it is you who should open their eyes!! For every one person who complains about a game there will probably be between 100-1000 that really enjoy the game!? The problem with any forum is no-one really writes to say something good about a game, they only write in to complain!! Like yourself!! Again open your eyes!
I only tried to say that you should not criticize a game simply because it doesnt run well on your machine!
And 'Yes' I am still sure it is a decent game! You just have to know how to play!!
Now for my advice: Buy yourself a football (soccer ball) if the computer games are to hard for you!
