For a best rate of success, there are some dos and don’ts on this one.
Don’ts:
– don’t use the patch for upgrading to version 1.1, it will cause the game to crash when you try to run it.
– the controller compatibility patch for XBOX and Playstation controllers has been removed from the general patch for this version of Need For Speed, stay away from it at it will also cause the game to crash.
The game will run fine without, but simply not displaying the PS/XBOX buttons to press.
Dos:
1) download the Need For Speed ProStreet Generic Fix, you can enable all options on this one as your heart desires. – even including resolutions past FullHD and above 60 Hz refresh rate 🙂
2) Apply a no DVD Patch for version 1.0 of the game
Enjoy playing it 🙂
