Need For Speed Underground 2 [in-game filter is disabled]

• Original game client v1.2us [via torrent] (be sure to select an american version of the game)
• If the game is already installed, then copy patch [v1.2us] to the game directory and launch

Need For Speed Underground

• Launch nfsuclient by PriedeZ with admin privileges to connect to NFS Underground servers
• Connect to the server directly by external IP addr [91.240.86.90]
• If connection problem appears during start of the race, then all players need to connect via pLan program — and the server will become available by virtual IP addr [192.168.251.1]

NFS Most Wanted v1.3.2

• Copy patch [v1.3.2 via torrent] to the game directory and launch
  —> Fixed automatic detection of local addr during LAN server creation
  —> Appeared the ability to connect to LAN servers, launched on any port

Compatibility

• A problem is noted, when pLan is used on Windows 7, a game crashes with an error; this is due to that, pLan attempts to patch a game process (that was necessary before on Windows XP)
  
  Set compatibility with Windows XP SP3 in properties of game executable and run as administrator


• Never set compatibility on pLan executable, else the game won't find LAN servers
