Fix Multicore Freezing / crashing



If you run NFS2 on a multicore/multicpu system you will find that NFS2 will crash, either on the menu or after clicking Race.

To work around this, you need to limit Wine to run on 1 core only, you can do this using schedtool.


  
  
  
 Install with:  # apt-get install schedtool if you use Ubuntu, or # pacman -S schedtool if you use Arch Linux
    
    

  
Or: 
    
    
    

  
$ wget http://freequaos.host.sk/schedtool/schedtool-1.1.2.tar.bz2
$ tar xf schedtool-1.1.2.tar.bz2
$ cd schedt*
$ sudo make install

run nfs by:

$ schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine nfs2sen.exe





        

    

















    

        




 
Fix out of memory / insufficient memory



If you get an error while trying to start the game, then you need to apply a fix to the game executable.

open a terminal and cd to the install directory


  
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/NFS2/
download the fix program:


wget http://jeffz.name/code/pe.exe


run the fix program against the main executable:


wine pe.exe nfsw.exe






        

    

















    

        




 
Glide Version




  
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    
   
   
    
Glide version need a Wrapper to work and updated nfs2sea.exe (found here: http://goo.gl/rPGtY).

I'm use dgVoodo with this configuration:

RenderAPI: Direct3D9
Display Driver: Direct3D9 HAL
Screen Mode: windowed mode
D3D Textures bit depth: 32 bits
texture options: autogenerate mipmaps
LFB access: Enable FSB access (use hardware cache buffers when poss, use fastwrite for unmatching formats)
ColorKeying Method: Native
Texture Mem Size: 65536KB
Resolution: 1024x768
Gamma Correction: 100%
Miscellaneeous: force triple buferring, use hardware vertex buffers, enable glide-gammaramp

Note: Full screen mode not work for me with dgvoodo, but windowed mode with the same resolution of display, show game in fullscreen.

 How to Deal with Freezing

 by  George Edison on Sunday July 31st 2011, 19:17



If the game freezes (which unfortunately happens quite regularly), I have had very good success at resuming the game simply by minimizing the application (many window managers assign 'show desktop' to Super+D) and then switching back to the game.
