It's Time to trade in the Ray-Bans and Soft Rock driving anthems CD for a puffa jacket and earrings, because, as those rear-window stickers of many a teenage Nova SRi driver proclaim, Need for Speed is on a mission. Yes, whereas the previous NFS outing, Hot Pursuit 2, indulged us with Ferrari fantasies amid the rolling hills of a tropical fantasy world, Need For Speed Underground. Probably one of the best games ever released in the Need For Speed game series is Underground 2, as it completely features a different style of gameplay. Open world map is always a charming feature to have in a racing game, Need For Speed Underground 2 free download features a vast open world map, where players can roam freely. Play Instructions: Install the game - Full Installation. Apply the official NFS: Underground 2 v1.2 Patch.; Replace the original SPEED2.EXE file with the one from the File Archive.

Emulation Information
16:9
Need for Speed: Underground 2 has a native 16:9 display option, but it requires enabling it in its internal options and setting Dolphin's Aspect Ratio graphics setting to 'Force 16:9'. Using the widescreen hack with this title is not recommended.
Problems
VP6 Videos
Need for Speed: Underground 2 uses the VP6 video codec, common in Electronic Arts' titles, causing its videos to have vertical line artifacts and other glitches on NVIDIA graphics cards. The Software Render will display VP6 video correctly, but is typically too slow. VP6 rendering also reacts poorly to the Force Texture Filtering enhancements (and Anisotropic Filtering on NVIDIA), causing further scrambling.

Test Entries | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS Version | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
3.0-692 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.5GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6850 | Perfect: FPS sometimes drops below 30 when there are a lot of vehicles on screen. Resolution:1680x1050, Aspect Ratio:Stretch, Internal Res:Auto, AF:16x | Zheka |
4.0-5238 | Ubuntu 14.10 | Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 | Playable. Gameplay is perfect at 85-100% speed. HLE accurate, car lighting reflections work, and the nitrous meter is fixed, but cutscenes are garbled. Entering tuning at the garage, my car somehow fell off of the dyno and was hanging off the side of it but after entering a test race and coming back it fixed itself; also there's minor texturing issues, most noticeable around foliage or the letters when naming your profile. While actually racing though these problems are either not present or barely noticeable. | Xerxes |
5.0-2464 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i5-4690 @ 3.5GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | Game runs nearly perfect aside from cutscenes which have some lines through them. No noticeable slowdowns or stuttering. (Vulkan renderer, Internal Res:8x Native, AA:4x MSAA, AF:16x) | KT |
