Need For Speed Brennender Asphalt Patch 4.5
Get Need For Speed 4 - High Stakes running on Windows 7 with the NFS HS EP 3.0 Beta 1.63. Installing on Vista or XP works similar. Instead of the Expansion Pack (EP) you can also use the much smaller Stock Pack (SP) if you don't want additional cars and tracks. Updated versions to 4.0 are available here: or Important: You still need the original NFS4 CD, it's not included in the SP/EP, If you got problems check the HS Guide. There is a program 'IPLounge ' included, which makes it easy to find other people to race online.
It supports NFS 4 & 5, and also collects data for races. There's a big racing statistic available at And the best it's totally free!
Though wine progressed lately very well with the directx stuff, older games seems to be still a problem. And even on native Windows XP systems users seems to wish their old Win98 box back. Well, wine can handle win95, win98 without problems, the only issue remains are the graphics. And this last thing will be solved with this howto. Back in the old good days were 3dfx was in the topposition of the graphics market they provided an API called 'glide'. Game Developers used this API to provide stunning 3D Graphics for their games. Wine itself don't have glide support builtin, but many freeware programs provide the same functionality for us.;) Note: As of wine 0.9.42 there is multithreaded d3d working in wine.
So you don't need the wrapper anymore! 1.0 Installation 1.1 Open up winecfg and change 'Windows Version:' from ' Windows 2000' to ' Windows 98'. 1. Playclaw Keygen Download Manager there. 2 Mount your Game CD 1.3 Run wine Setup.exe 1.4 Select Full Installation 1.5 If complete change back to ' Windows 2000' 2.0 Downloads needed Note: You can choose the EP package too. It includes some new tracks and cars. (There are better ones on the net, so I don't really advertise this) 2.1.1 Run the Patch and choose everything under 'NFS HS Updates' except 'Vista Fixes' which are untested Note: You can safely ignore any errors. The 3dsetup won't run in wine, so don't waste your time! 3.0 Choosing the 3D Renderer You can now choose if you want d3d as your renderer or glide (through OpenGL.) I have to say that I like the OpenGL approach more then the d3d one.
It looks a bit nicer and is more stable for me. On the other hand many people had problems with it and it needs additional steps to set up. 4.0 D3D Approach 4.1 Save the following lines to a file, i.e. Nfs_d3d.reg [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Electronic Arts Need for Speed High Stakes] '3D Card'='NVidia TNT2' '3D Device Description'='NVIDIA RIVA TNT2' 'D3D Device'=dword:00000001 'Group'='D3D' 'Hardware Acceleration'=dword:00000001 'InstallPath'='c: Program Files Electronic Arts Need for Speed High Stakes' 'Thrash Driver'='d3d' 'Thrash Resolution'='1024x768' 'Triple Buffer'=dword:00000000 'Version'='4.00' 4.2 Check if the installpath is right. 4.3 Run wine regedit nfs.reg 4.4 Go to your NFS: HS directory and overwrite the d3da.dll with the one from the folder 3dSetup.bak.
(You must not use the DirectX 8 d3da.dll shipped with the downloaded Patch, it will look horrible!) 4.5 Run the Game! 5.0 Glide Wrapper Approach (Optional) 5.1 You can experiment with the settings, but I present you here mine: Resolution 'try HighRes' experimental - leave default if problems Refresh rate 'by app' Mipmapping ' force trilinear' or 'generate mipmaps' experimental - leave default if problems vertical sync 'always on' Limit feature set 'most fancy' experimental - leave default if problems Thread policy 'One thread for both' Important! - change to something else if the game doesn't work Additionally, please be sure to not set 'Triple Buffer' on when using Glide!
