I finished the BL yesterday with my Caymen S. *drool*

I just have one problem with the game and its the LAN. Whenever I want to host a server it just tells me that my "connection to the server has been lost".
So I cant host any races but I can join if someone else hosts.
Any ideas on what to do?

hey all,

i had that exact same error and after much confusion, i found the simple solution of swopping disk 1 from my dvd writer to my dvd drive.

after this i have experienced no errors of this type but i have experienced some gameplay issues. after playing for some time, the game sort of plays at 2x speed. everything speeds up to a point where its impossible to control. my corvette hits 200 in about 2 seconds and thats demolition derby type stuff.

stuck on 69%, cant get enough bounty without being caught by the corvette cops.

Yes I have the same problem. I think it is called micro pause. Underground 2 had the same problem. Very annoying.

Question

What are the minimum system requirements for Need For Speed: Most Wanted Black Edition?
Answer

The minimum system requirements necessary to play Need For Speed: Most Wanted Black Edition are as follows.

*
Windows 2000 or XP
*
1.4GHz Pentium IV or comparable processor
*
256MB RAM
*
A video card with at least 32MB of video memory with DirectX 9.0c (or higher) compatible drivers, supporting one of the chipsets listed below.
*
At least 3GB of available hard disk space
*
DirectX 9.0c (or higher) installed
*
A DirectX compliant sound card
*
8X CD-ROM Drive

Although Direct3D is supported, this support is only officially extended to certain 3D accelerator devices. The following major D3D chipsets are supported.

ATI Radeon 7500
ATI Radeon 8500
ATI Radeon 9xxx series
ATI Radeon Xpress 200
ATI Radeon X300, X600, X700, X800 series
NVIDIA GeForce 2 (GTS, MX, Ultra/Ti)
NVIDIA GeForce 3 (Ti)
NVIDIA GeForce 4 (MX, Ti)
NVIDIA GeForce FX series
NVIDIA GeForce 6200, 6600, 6800, 7800
Intel 950/i915g
S3 GammaChrome S18 Pro

While Direct3D supports a wider variety of 3D accelerator devices, the behavior of Need for Speed Most Wanted cannot be predicted in these situations. In extreme cases, running Need for Speed Most Wanted with a Direct3D device that is not officially supported can lead to an unstable PC environment.

To play online a network card is required for broadband connectivity

you are stupid, the game is far more superior on PC. LOL @ Mike 4 being such a ******. Plus, PS2 costs about R150 more than PC game for a substandard product. Muhahahahaha

Yeah, but my PC isn't fast enough to play it decently, besides i enjoy it on PS2 and the controller is better than a keyboard. and why do u say it is far superior, it suffers from glithces. shot for calling me a *******.

Whe I was doing milestones to challange Razor I got a bounty of 4300000, yes you saw right 4,3 million. The persuit lasted 22 minutes and I managed to get all milestones except the two minute one which I had already done.

P.S get the Lamborgini Mucielago, it has max top speed and handling and is not far from top acceleration.

Will post pics of my cars shortly

EDIT:The Lancer Evolution 8 sucks badly, get the Eclipse.

EDIT2: you don't need the fastest car to beat Razor, I by mistake took my crppy Aston Martin and beat him in all the races first time.
