I'll check for you if my DVD is 1.2 and rip it if it is.

I'M PASSING IT ONLY TO PEOPLE OWNING THE GAME IN ANY OTHER EDITION! (Distribution of riped DVDs is prohibited)

The waiting time for series approval has been taking way too long recently. It has been over a week for me too.

Damn wesen. That's quite a dedication :D I remember the game from my childhood where I couldn't even get to the gigantic plant, but I still loved it.

Great to watch you speedrun it, keep it up.

It should be stated in the rules: -Time starts at the moment of difficulty selection. -Time splits should be done at the beginning of every stage (At the moment of pressing "BEGIN NEXT STAGE") -Time ends when player enters the ending warehouse on start of Aston Martin crash cutscene.

1.Thanks for clarifying what is the actuall difference between normal and NG+ runs. It probably should be written in the rules for a category. Some of the best cars are available from the start and that lack of nitrous for the first race makes 30 seconds to 1 minute of difference, while a single crash is costing you over a minute. So there is no real difference between them.

2. Check out my 5 hours run in NG+ category. It was done on Extreme difficulty. I'm quite skilled at the game and there is still such a huge gap (2 hours) between those runs. -Extreme difficulty is only available after beating the game once on hard. -You die from 1-2 bursts from machine guns. -Cops and the Mob is uber fast resulting in most of the game requiring top notch skill, they are pushing you off the road, break checking and are impossible to disable. -Timed stages require use of the best cars for a type of road. The time gap is so small half of the checkpoints can only be done with a single second left. It also results in almost unavoidable restarts. -It's almost unavoidable to restart the game. If someone would be able to make it through the whole Run without reseting it would be a huge achievement.

The game is not only harder, it's EXTREMELY HARD.

3. There is a BIG difference between default cars and those obtainable from Gas Stations and they are OP. On a clean run you can get over 10 minutes of difference just by car switching.

Hi guys. I'd like to apply for moderator of Need for speed: The Run (https://www.speedrun.com/nfsrun) I've noticed that none of the moderators have been active for the last 2 days (even though one was assigned just today) and the runs are not being verified.

I've been running NFS:Underground and Pro Street, alone, for some time now (without Splits, or measuring time. Just for fun), because I was never able to make the software work for me (either I couldn't record/stream, or something else was crashing or not working at all). Few days ago, I've decided to try again to make some runs, this time on a long time favorite of my, The Run, but moderation of NFS runs is very bad right now. So that's my motivation.

Every time I open my browser I have it setup to open my favorite sites, including speedrun.com, so I don't think I will be missing anything that requires moderation. Fingers crossed :3

I used to have it running on Windows 7 without any issues, except for the drift king events (starting the first one causes the bug on all other races), but I forgot exactly what was done.

I've definitely done what djxxd proposed, also going to Process Manager (ALT+CTRL+DEL) and setting ?colligation? to 1 or 2 processor helps alot (The game was designed for single core CPUs).

When you enter the game without the above all the animations in the menu are sped up meaning you will get the continue bug. It's 100% CPU related and I think that it can have something to do with GPU aswell, because I'm unable to run it on a PC with 4790K and GTX 970, while on a laptop with 4700MQ and R7M265 the game works fine.

1. It's hard to distinguish between someone driving NG+ or only clean profile. All of the runs here are done on second+ attempt so none of them are qualifying for "clean". (You can only check it if someone stops at a gas station)

2. The game is very different on Extreme difficulty and has been ran specifically on this level of difficulty for the speed run.

3. Cars that can be obtained from Gas Stations are significantly quicker then those that are given to the player on the beginning of certain stages.

I'd like to propose new Categories for this game which would suit it better: The Run - any difficulty - No Gas Station The Run - any difficulty - Any Car The Run - Extreme difficulty - No Gas Station The Run - Extreme difficulty - Any Car
