    Hi folks,
    I just got nfs2 and am well impressed.
    (I wouldnt call it a sim like gtr, or lfs, but its a good game in its own right)

    However, I have an ATI Radeon 9800XT, which is superb, but in nfs2 if i increase the resolution past 800x600 the graphics goes all wonky .. the menues are simply a white splurge (which changes like one of those visualisations on meadia player) .

    The same seems to happen if I increase the detail level, even at 800x600.

    Any clues ? - I'm hoping this is a common problem and there is a quick fix. I like my high-res gaming ..

    btw, GTR is something else...Best sim I've ever seen

    Cheers.

    Yo. Below are my options;

    Level of Detail - 50%
    Car Reflection - 33%
    World Detail - 66%
    Road Reflection - 66%
    Full Screen Anti-Alaising - 0%
    Texture Filtering - 50%
    Vsync - Off

    Detail - 1024 * 768

    Try turning Vsync & AA off. Don't know about ATI, but these mess up my GeForce on a few games :(

    =====

    Just mess around a bit. My specs are 394MB PC800 RDRAM, 2Ghz P4, and a GeForce4 Ti4200, so if you have anything better, the above settings should do you easily.

    anybody i know with ati cards (like me-9600pro) cant run the game properly at anything over 800x600 . 1024 is ok, but a little bit stuttery. Even with detail low at 1024 it is still stuttery. but detail high and 800x600 is fine - weird

    OK,
    I installed latest directx9c and new drivers from ati.

    Now I have excellent detail, but one bug .. if u put an underbody neon on the car, you can see it through the body !

    i.e. In the chase-view (whatever its called, you look down at 45 degrees on the outside of the car) you can see the shape of the neons all around the car, not just the glow onto the road, but the actuall neon's themselves.
    (I only noticed it when I upgraded to the glowing neons, so thought it might be that, but now with another car I put on a level 1 neon and its the same)

    That definitely wasnt there in the lower-res modes.. I guess I should turn done the res/detail levels and check if it fixes it ?

    Any suggestions ?

    Cheers.

    have a 9800XT, game runs perfect on full quality 1152*864.

    Do not get the latest Catalyst drivers from ATi as they suck (and the newer ones are designed for the x800). the omega's should sort your problem.

    same happened to me :: I turned down textures iirc or detail and it stopped. Haven't tried it with the new Cats so dunno if they fix the prob.
