NFS: Carbon widescreen request/solutions

scortech · Post by **scortech** » 06 Nov 2006, 11:27

I think we should e-mail EA complaining about this lack of widescreen support. Can't they see that PC users are moving to LCD and plasma displays and most big screens have widescreen resolutions???

I think you will have more luck getting an answer if you pray to god and to get an answer.hehe

How good at drifting is everyone in this game?

My highest score - CLICK

And a vid of full track length drift- CLICK

If anyone can beat that high score then post and we may be able to get a little competition going :D

Yeah - it took d/l the crack to get that fix to work properly. It's still pretty crummy that EA releases this in a 16:9 ratio on the 360 and PC's once again get 4:3 at a maximum of 1600x1200 without a patch/crack.

Now I've got it going at 1920x1200 4xFSAA, AF on, and all options turned up to maximum. It looks good even if the motion blur is a tad overkill.

For those with framerate issues - you're probably running a GeForce 7 series video card. It seems as if this specific series of cards have some performance issues with this game. From the look of things it seems to be a fault with nVidia's drivers and not the game.

Also, apart from the inexistend optimisation of this game, it CRASHES ALL THE TIME, especially when setting up cars in the lot. And this is not related to ures , nor cracked version , but purely EA. Lots of ppl have this problem too.

EA must be complete idiots to get this game out like this and spoil the good name of the NFS series (regardless of what many think, NFS is the N.01 street racing game)

hoping the patch will fix it. lets give them a chance....

Hi guys!

This UniWS program is very good, I can run my Razor1911 Carbon in 1440x900, and it looks very nice. But. I'd like to buy the original collectors edition. I read here someones post that UniWs can't patch the original version of the game, so it cannot be played in 16:10. Is this true? Anybody here who plays with the original CE, and managed to play it in 16:10? I hope somebody can answer me, it would be very important to know.
Thank you!

Norb

EmThor: ÃƒÂ©n is remÃƒÂ©lem, hogy igaz, mert engem mÃƒÂ¡r csak ez tart vissza, hogy megvegyem. Elvileg 8-ÃƒÂ¡n jelenik meg a magyar collectors edition, arra hajtok. De ez a ws support kÃƒÂ©ne hozzÃƒÂ¡.

By the way: Hungary RuleZ :)

for anyone that will upload a complete savegame just copy the NFS carbon folder in my docs into a .rar and upload to rapidshare etc

thx! :lol:

Nagumo · Post by **Nagumo** » 07 Nov 2006, 03:28

I'll believe that when I see it. As far as I know the only EA game that will actually support widescreen is Crysis. And that is only because Crysis was long in developement at Crytek before EA bought a minority stock in the company and the rights to their IP. Thus far I'm still seeing better widescreen support in games that came out before widescreen monitors were even being used. - That's just sad.

[quote]So this is a -vert fix.

I think I'll just leave it stretched, thanks anyway.

If you leave it streched, it will be ugly :)
Just try it. The stretched mode is only 1024*768 for me. With uniws patcher you get true 1440*900 resolution(or bigger) It will look much better!

All we need is a camera hack, something we can back the camera back a little bit to view more of the screen. That should solve the -vert.

according to ea widescreen is a disadvantage, which is true. So is better ping, bigger monitor, faster hard drives, better mouse, better keyboards, faster processor, faster graphics card , better sound card. O wait you never thought of this? Stfu ea.
