1. To play in the local network you need NFS MW English version. This is because in Russian version file speed.exe is modified and you could not see main English game server.
Also exists MW Russian version, which works with English server.
If You could not find server, please try to replace file speed.exe.

2. If you use Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 you should run the game on behalf of the administrator. Otherwise, connecting and starting online game, it will crash with a mistake.
Compatibility with Windows XP SP3 is not recommended, because it possible able to provide problems during playing the game (very slow work).

3. Due to program bugs of the network connection, very often appears problem with the connection to the other players in the room. It expressed as fact, that progress bar running but connection does not take place, or connection is with a few second`s delay.
This particular bug depends on your own internet connection and connection of the other players. Ping does not matter anything, all depends on the provider, but the reasons are not researched and remain obscure. Sometimes the same provider could provide different results in a relation of the time. To make it simple let call problems with the connection “bad connection”.

There are few advises how to play with the “bad connection”.

1)If you play using router, than direct connection to the computer (excluding router)capable to improve situation with the connection to the other players. Also it is possible to include computer`s IP address into DMZ router`s zone.

2) During the connecting process player OBLIGOTARY should wait the connection, even if you do not want to play in this room.
If you do not wait the connection and immediately exit, exist big possibility that you could not connected to any player without reloading the main game server.
Reasons of this linked with the game bug and will reviewed bellow.

(Correct connection / disconnection)

Entrance in the game room -> waiting for the connection -> game with the players -> waiting for the connection -> exit the room
Entrance in the game room - > waiting for the connection -> game itself kicks you out from the room -> second entrance / entrance in another room.

Exist two possibilities – you wait some time (usually 30 seconds) after which or starts connection (appears connection bar), or game warns you that “the connection with other player is impossible” and kicks you out. In the last case it is possible to entrance once more and waits for one of above described results.
If after several such attempts you still could not connected (game warns you that “the connection with other player is impossible”), that means that with the big likelihood you will not be able to connect with this particular player.

(INcorrect connection / disconnection)

Entrance in the game room -> no connection or you do not await for it -> exit the room

In this case file spee.exe opens connection port and does not close it before exit the room. As a result you will not be able to connect to anybody until reentrance on the LAN server. To make it simple let call such version “broken connection”, as well as player with “broken connection” – “saboteur”. When you reentrance on the LAN server, port has been closed and connection restores.

Besides that, very important, if you as former “saboteur” reentrance on the server without changing of the IP address, anyway, you will NOT be able to connect to the same player, from which room you exited before proper connection, from where you were kicked out by the game itself, or where you entrance with already “broken connection”. This is because for him (player) also appears “broken connection”, and depending on has he “bad” or normal connection only you are not able to connect to him or nobody else.

Entrance in the game room -> waiting for the connection more than 30 seconds -> no connection appears -> exit the room

The worst option. This means, that you are not able to connect to this particular player because, he has exit this room until await for the connection, or the “saboteur” creates “broken connection” in this room by entrance in it. So, in this situation BOTH of you (yourself and room creator (host)) have to reentrance on LAN server. Visiting such room you will “break your own connection” (if you have “bad connection”), turn you into the “saboteur”.

From the above described situation, we could make the conclusion – if you have a long connection, you need to wait for it anyway, otherwise you will create problems for yourself and for other players. If you have “break connection” to yourself (or your connection was broken by the host-“saboteur”), please do not rush between all game rooms, because in this case you will provide the situation in which you will not be able to connect to anybody. In the case of long connection you should immediately reentrance on LAN server and choose the room where you have not been and do not match to “break the connection”.

The situation for the host with “bad connection” is even worse. Anyone (even if he has normal connection and is not “saboteur”) who entrance in your room and exit from it not awaiting for the connection, potentially could “break your connection”, after that, off course, nobody could connected to you.

So, if you could not connected and to play with the particular player – the best option for BOTH of you to reentrance on the server and as quick as possible try to wait for the connection in the new room (until in this new room are not appeared other players, including “saboteurs”, who run from one room to another because are not able to connect to anyone).

There are several other reasons because player with “bad connection” breaks connection to himself and became “saboteur”.

1. it is FORBIDEN to write massagers in the chat immediately after the race. You have to wait connection in the room.
2. it is FORBIDEN to exit the game first immediately after it ends, to leave in the game for 5-10 seconds reduced possibility for you to became “saboteur”.
3. the exit from ongoing game and remaining in the room in most cases “breaks connection” (if you leave the game first).

NETWORK GAME

1. Supported version of the game Need For Speed Most Wanted - 1.3 ENG.

2. It is required to start the game on the behalf of the Administrator.

3. The game server almost always is active in the network. If You are not able to seet it the problem is in Your

version of the game or in the virtual adapter Tunngle. To check the proper work of the adaptor Tunngle is

possible by writing address 7.254.254.254 in menu Meet. You have to get such result:

Meet -> ping 7.254.254.254

Change the package with 7.254.254.254 to with 32 byte of data:

Answer from 7.254.254.254: number of bytes =32 time<1мс TTL=128

4. For the success game in the existing network it is not necessary to open any ports.

Yellow smile Tunngle does not mean that you are not able to get connecting with other players.

5. If with the majority of the player you have long or unstable connection - that means the problems of Your

provider. To change situation is possible by changing the provider or by excluding additional equipment

(router).

6. For the players with long connection it is vitally important to wait in the room any reaction from the game

side. If player have leaved room before connection appears or game have aborted, exists huge possibility that

the player will not be able to connect to any other player without restarting of the game server.

7. If the player with long connection has left the room (host), exists huge possibility that the player will not be

able to reenter to the same room, even after game server has been restarted. After server is restarted You

have to find another room.

8. The player with long connection also demage the rooms, from which he is exited without waiting for the

connection. After this other players with long connection will not be able to connect to such damaged hosts

even waiting for a very long periods of time.

9. For players with long connection to connected to the damage host is possible only after both (player and host)

will reener into the server.

10. If You are the player with long connection and You would like to become a host (create Your own room),

please, prepare, that other players who do not wait for the proper connection, will damage your room.

NUANCES OF THE GAME

1. The most rapid car using all control characters - BMW M3.

2. According to the deliberated cheat of the creator, players who use gamepad Logitech Dual Аction are faster of

their competitors (turning) Sometimes cheat switches on by himself (random) and then even using keyboard

You are “flying”.

3. BMW M3 is faster if you do not release gas and do not scrap walls. Using of the NITRO is neutralizing this

effect. That why driving on M3 it is not reasonable to use N2O.

4. Some player using updated BMW, which are able to drive on some km/h faster.

5. Using of the cars with unique details for NITRO, will lead to the exiting from the game room by switching off

N2O.

SETTINGS OF THE CARS

1. The detail’s type which you are using to tune your car will influence the speed parameters.

The main influence will have discs and spoilers. Less - hood. Air intakes will have almost non influence.

2. Overweight will have direct influence on the control of the car.

3. Using of the spoiler not always provide wished effect. On high speed front part of the car lifted, making worse

clutching of the front wheels with road. As a result the control of the car on the turns became harder.
