Installation
Make sure that you're using v1.2 speed2.exe (4,57 MB (4.800.512 bytes)). If not, just search "NFS Underground 2 v1.2 NO CD Crack HOODLUM" on Google, Bing or any search engine you like.
It's also recommended to patch your speed.exe using 4GB Patch by NTCore so the game can utilize up to 4 GB of virtual memory instead of 2 on x64 systems.
After you're all set up, you can install the NFSU2 Unlimiter. Just follow the steps below.
- Download the latest version of NFSU2 Unlimiter and extract it anywhere.
Download the first file listed in the Assets section. Other files are not necessary for a regular user and they do not have the essential components to install the mod.
-
Install the script which contains essential car parts, string and texture data for the new menu options using Binarius: (Compatible with v2.10.4 and up)
-
Download and install the latest version of Binarius.
-
Run Binarius as administrator.
-
Select User Mode. (Tap/click the icon on top.)
-
Select the _NFSU2-Unlimiter-Binarius.endlauncher from the dialog and tap/click OK.
-
Select your game installation directory.
-
Binarius should show you a prompt to choose what to do. The options are explained below:
- New Installation: Starts a fresh installation of NFSU2 Unlimiter. This option will add everything into the game and overwrite any existing files from previous versions if you have them.
-
Upgrade / Dirty Installation: If you have used Unlimiter before, choose this option.
Note that this option will keep your existing config files intact, except for NFSU2UnlimiterSettings.ini. Your old config will get backed up so you can update the new one manually.
If you want to customize the new settings, you'll have to add them into your config files manually.
Default files can be found in Binarius\scripts\UnlimiterData to compare them with yours.If you're unsure, choose New Installation.
-
Binarius will ask if you want to fix wheel texture attributes.
- They are required to fix texture facing issues with some specific rims when they get applied to the back.
- If you have another wheel mod (or a mod that contains custom rims) installed, uncheck the box and tap/click OK.
If you're unsure, keep the box checked.
-
Binarius may ask if you want to install vanilla or enhanced paint groups / categories.
- Vanilla: Paint Groups configured the same as vanilla game.
-
Enhanced: Paint Groups configured like previous versions of NFSU2 Extra Options and Unlimiter to allow more colors in various slots (without UnifyPaints option).
- If you're unsure, choose Enhanced option.
-
Binarius may ask if you want to install vanilla, enhanced or UG2.net rim brands.
- Vanilla: Rim Brands configured the same as vanilla game.
- Enhanced: Rim Brands configured like previous versions of NFSU2 Unlimiter to add unused Advan and Oasis brands.
-
UG2.net: Rim Brands configured for UG2.net mod.
If you're unsure, choose Enhanced option.
-
Wait while Unlimiter is getting installed. When the installation is done, Binarius will inform you about the installation.
If there are any errors, please check the log file for details. They are usually safe to ignore. If you're unsure, you can always ask for help in the Unlimiter Discord server.
-
Save your files, choose not to run the game and quit the tool.
-
-
(Optional) Edit the configuration files (NFSU2UnlimiterSettings.ini, \UnlimiterData\.ini, \UnlimiterData\CameraInfo\\*.ini) as you like.
If you have used the Upgrade / Dirty Installation option, it's a good time to compare your files with the default ones to add any missing option.
-
You're good to go!
- If your game is installed in a restricted directory (For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Need for Speed Underground 2), Unlimiter may have hard time to read the configuration files. Please consider one of the options below so Unlimiter (and probably other script mods you have) will work properly:
- Run your game as administrator.
- Move your whole game installation to somewhere unrestricted. (Like, E:\Games\NFSU2)
- Take ownership of your game directory. (Check out: https://www.intowindows.com/add-take-ownership-to-right-click-menu-in-windows-10/ )
- Copy the configuration (*.ini) files into the Virtual Store. (%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Need for Speed Underground 2\scripts(\UnlimiterData))
