I hope that the crowds and Motion blur could be enabled for GeForce2 cards. And that the game won't restart your computer randomly.

lol yea well thast a facotr for any game not to restart yea buit hopefully they haev a motion blur that works on mx cards

Albert Has · Post by **Albert Has** » 05 Jan 2004, 05:56

Yeah, the motion blur would be cool. But for the stuff to work on Geforce 2???? No way in hell, buddy. Get a better 3D card...

I don't know why you guys drool over the motion blur. I think the game looks better with out the blur. And why do you want crowds for? Crowds only appear at the begining of the race then dissappear. Then only show up agian when the race is over. I leave both motion blur and crowds turned off on mine. It's just extra crap you don't need.

Yeah, I don't know why people are so obsessed 'bout crowds...why do you want badly generated models standing and cheering. You can still hear the cheering when they are turned off, 'nyway. I only want motion blur so I can see what it's like...

What makes me sick, is that firewall problem I have while trying to play online. I have a very good connection, but there's a damn firewall installed in our network and I cannot work around it. It seems quite stupid that I can connect to the EA server, can join rooms, even can chat with ppl, but each time I try entering a game, I fail... ...being connected to the server I still can't play.

I think alot of guys over here have the same prob, and I think (quite hopeless tho) something can be done.

Does hosting your own games even work?

UncleBob · Post by **UncleBob** » 06 Jan 2004, 11:29

Neither hosting nor challeging

Me too. Very annoying. Even when I challenge someone, I pop out... Thats really frustrating.
And search for persons would be nice too. In what room is (s)he and if not where is (s)he playing....

In the office by evil network admin LoL

. I know it's all coz of firewall stuff, but what I meant in my post is that I found it stupid - I'm connected to the server, but cannot play.

CustomZ02 · Post by **CustomZ02** » 06 Jan 2004, 19:38

Well give the evil network admin a 60gig HD and tell him to hook you up

It's easy to configure a firewall to allow NFSU traffic, but if the firewall is beyond your control then it's not much you can do.

Give the network admin a pack of Jolt and ask him nicely if he wouldn't mind opening up TCP ports 10900-10999 and UDP ports 3658,3659
