There are 6 driveable but locked cars in the demo. Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed, Dodge Charger SRT-8, Aston Martin DB9, Mazda RX-7, Mazda RX-8, and Subaru Impreza WRX STI. There are also additional traffic cars, but who cares about those, right?

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 29 Oct 2006, 20:52

Why did they put those other cars in?
How can you unlock them?
I am stunned by everything that is happening in this forum

Guys, you wont believe this, i was checking the registry files for the demo when i saw the Visual treatment option, and guess what, it was already ON

(Value = 1), so i disabled it to see how the game will look like without it, and i was shocked when i found it looks much better without it, see the screenshots:

Visual Treatment ON:

Visual Treatment OFF:

When its ON, it seems like there is a blue overlay over the game, but without it, colours are more fresh, plus it adds more FPS to the game, i wonder what is EA thinking, i really hope that this demo was not well optimized and that the final release will have these gfx issues sorted out.

Where are the registry files and how can you hack them can you plz tell me? PLZ

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:01

yeah i also noticed that skyline man
well, the performance also improved in my pc, 30fps now

: ):) !!!!

EDIT: I'm also professional now....cool

@brontox: type in "execute" the word REGEDIT, then go through the keys, local machine, software if i remember well, and then look at ea games.

Start > Run > "regedit" > "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > "SOFTWARE" > "Electronic Arts" > "Need For Speed Carbon Demo" look on the right window and find g_Visual Treatment, double click and set to 0

It was set to 0 by default here

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Need for Speed Carbon Demo

le lol same time post

o and to brag a little i have a new drift score

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:07

yep but beware to mess stuff there, it's easily to corrupt the whole game if you change some numbers.

OFFTOPIC: Which are the postcount stages? i mean, im now a professional, how much posts do i need to have to reach the next status? and which is the next status? :S

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:09

GREAT !!, now thats what i really wanted.

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:10

Thanks guy for telling me.
Another question:
How can you hack in the game and put the other cars in?

man, just wait until the cool guys like arushan can release some files if they can, coding and hacking mw was difficult, so, for carbon i think it's going to be the same, also the vynils extension has changed....it seems that ea doesnt want any custom vynil for now

dice66 · Post by **dice66** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:13

@Skyline_man
what else did you modify because mine still looks darker??
did you increased the gamma?

BrontoX · Post by **BrontoX** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:14

Just calm down man, i know you're asking, but the demo was released just 2 days ago, dont expect things too soon, remember also that carbon is released soon

and it's ""no point"" to release stuff, but well, just wait, time will bring things....for now "satisfy" yourself with the demo, soon the full game in our pc's

Here's the link for those who don't want to mess with the registry manually:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/308364/

Just download the file, right-click, Merge and click on Yes. Motion Blur and Visual Treatment off. High performance stuff.

yeah, just increased the brightness, adjust it as you want, if you dont wanna mess with things manually, try the filefactory link above, i havent used it, so i am not responsible for what it might cause.

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:30

Skyline_man, it's only a .REG file, changing the Hex for MotionBlur and VisualTreatment in NFS Carbon Demo's registry keys. Just the changes you did in your registry manually, only I exported them to a .REG and kept the two lines needed to increase performance.

dice66 · Post by **dice66** » 29 Oct 2006, 22:33

i'm ok with reg settings isn't much to mess up
thanx for the info on the brightness i spent allot trying different settings and sorted up with it
