OK I have the NFSU Demo and it is asking for DX9. Will DX9 affect or make my other games non-functional??? I heard a lot of poop about it in that manner...

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Nov 2003, 18:51

Well in my case installing DX9 only made games run better.
And every DX release is compatible with previous releases, so it shouldn't screw up you pc...

dammit..

All I see is a black screen, and then it goes back to the desktop..

Anybody knows the problem? or how it's fixed?

Z-Racing · Post by **Z-Racing** » 04 Nov 2003, 19:30

Thanx Bobyx...

Time to update...

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Nov 2003, 19:34

I already got it and I must say that it looks very good. The sense of speed rocks! Too bad the driving is arcade...

Z-Racing · Post by **Z-Racing** » 04 Nov 2003, 19:50

Got it, tried it, CANNOT WAIT for full version.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 04 Nov 2003, 19:54

hehe.. i am just about to download it from gamershell ...
but i got downloaded 1 from one of the links.. and it was corrupt...

but what a difference between arcade and simulate??

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Nov 2003, 20:01

I got 20min left to upload it to edgefiles - a working version!

Simulation is NFS Porsche type of driving, Arcade is NFSHP2 type. With arcade you basically don't need the brakes...

Great !! Thanks, buddy! Can't wait to try that one instead !
It sucks bigtime.. I've been waiting for the demo for quite a long time, and then it won't freaking work

ARGH makes me wanna make homeworks!

Where did the EDIT button go?

Anyways, only the Dial Up server is working.. lol.. ehm..

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Nov 2003, 21:38

I know... 1 hour after I put the file online, the edgefiles servers are almost full, the demo was downloaded over 100times - 22GB+
Seems like every server that's mirroring this gets clogged sooner or later.
Try the NFSCars one now. Currently it's still fast.

Z-Racing · Post by **Z-Racing** » 04 Nov 2003, 21:48

T-Shine I got it off of NFSCARS because everything else was loked up tight. Just scroll down to the news and click on AUSGAMERS mirror, that's where I got it. Only took like 15 min. to bring down.

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Nov 2003, 22:05

Currently the free servers are NFS Cars, NFS Home, Racerplanet and Fragland.

Z-Racing · Post by **Z-Racing** » 04 Nov 2003, 22:18

If anyone has an Audigy sound card with 4 or more speakers this is awesome in EAX mode. If you don't have an Audigy I EXTREMELY suggest getting one.

Is there going to be damage in the full release?

I really haven't been paying attention to the updates at all.

T-Shine · Post by **T-Shine** » 04 Nov 2003, 22:24

There won't be damages.. the brands simply won't allow their cars to be damaged.

Anyways, got another mirror: http://www.dailyrush.dk/files/demos/503/

Post by **Bojan** » 04 Nov 2003, 22:25

Nope, no damage I think... It's the thing with licensed cars that their makers don't want to see damaged

Post by **viper_gts** » 04 Nov 2003, 22:26

like boby said, apart from the arcade driving..................i'm in love

...............i can't express how much i want the full game.

If you need a fast download for the NFSU Demo, then follow this link from Gamer's Hell http://www.gamershell.com/download_4024.shtml , it will show you different servers to choose from, and it'll indicate how full they are, I had a steady download of 100 KB/S, so try that link if you don't have any luck from edge network....
