How to run Need For Speed Undercover in custom resolutions.

First thing to do is to download UniPatcher from this link http://www.wsgf.org/article/squ1zzy-unipatcher then run the game, choose 1024x768 as your resolution and exit NFSU. Next, copy the UniPatcher.exe in the game's main directory, execute it from there and fill in the boxes exactly as seen in the picture below. As for the last option (the resolution) choose the one you would like to play the game in.



Finally, click the 'Patch' button and that's it. Enjoy playing NFSU in your preferred resolution!

Tried to get this to work for vista at 1360x768 but it always ends up going to the lowest resolution in the game. Any suggestions on what may be wrong.

Vista x64 and 1360x768 is fine here! Hmm... Before patching run the Game and setting 1024x768 resolution in Options? :?:

anyway i can get 1280x768 as its not available in that tool, damn fussy lcd tv.

Vista x64 and 1360x768 still not working have run game at 1024x768 before changing to new resolution. Still getting low res on start of game, don't know what I am doing wrong. Can you send your working pre changed exe file for 1360x768 to me so I can see if it works or do you have any other suggestions I can try to get it to work. Any help you can can give would be much appreciated.

Ok, uploaded 1360x768 worked nfs.exe file, http://www.zshare.net/download/51534271b5cadcf3/ in 7-zip format (~10MiB). Now, run the game set 1024x768 resolution, save and quit. Run again the game and checked the game really run the 1024x768 resolution! If Yes, exit the game. Copy worked nfs.exe to game folder with overwrite the original nfs.exe and run the game. The nfs.exe not cracked, it's original!

Thanks for the pre changed exe file, I still am unable to get it to work though, looks like I wont be playing this for a while, at least till I have worked out what is wrong with getting it to work with widescreen. Now if only ea would put proper widescreen support in to there games, would not have these problems.

Works great for me thanks a lot

Is this game Vert- when selecting a WS resolution in the menu or have they fixed it now?

it's not working for me.
i return to the lowest resolution.
can you try to fix this and please add 1366X768?

dudes, what happening?
this thread is stuck!

the patch don't work can anyone fix it or make something that works?

shame on EA!!!

please keep this thread alive until a proper patch is released! :?

The patch doesn't have support anymore. It was made for Need For Speed Most Wanted, it's just chance it works for Undercover. So your requests won't be actioned.

The best way would be for RACER_S to make a patch.

You could also try these files but as list - its made for carbon and Mostwanted.

Doesn't Squ1zzy's unipatcher work with just about any game, provided you know the 4 byte offsets for each res. part (like 2 for 1360 and 2 for 768 in this case)

And from what I've seen, nfs:mw, nfs:u2, nfs:carbon and likely undercover use the same engine and even the offsets are in the same part of the .exe.

I was using UniWS and the nfs:u2 for nsf:mw back when I had it installed.

If there was a demo for undercover I'd take a look at it but there won't be, and I won't be buying it for lack of any added features in the last 4 games.

i tried the unipatcher, doesn't work...not for me anyway.

how can i contact Racer_S for asking him to patch this MF?

GOD i HATE EA!@@#$!

Tried this but not working.
Also is there any way to get 3360*1050 for resolution?
Can't this be done with an hex editor?

Racer_s if you can see this, please make a res changer for UC.
you did for all the others, i'm sure you can for this one...

Yes, i've made this tools ages ago trying to make a universal patcher that anyone could use. Just provide the correct offsets and your done.

The problem here is that some resolutions aren't in the tool and it depends wich executable your trying to patch!

If you're using the original executable there are different offsets you need to provide if your using a RELOADED cracked executable.

This game is easy to patch with the desired res, but harder to fix the FOV. Just provide the correct offsets for the correct executable and you done. Paste a link to a cracked executable from gamecopyworld for an example.

Unlike some others, I can't say I've ever seen a problem with the FOV in the nfs games, even after fixing the res.

I've used patched .exe for nfs:mw and the fov seemed fine enough to play, maybe the default fov was just off too much for me to begin with and the res. change countered it enough.

Still, unless they did a major change since nfs:u2, nfs:mw and nfs:carbon, the same patch, including uniwis, works, the offsets didn't change at all for the resolution.

hi guys. having a nightmare ere. trying to get this game to play on my laptop at 1280x800 resolution and its having none. ive tried to hack the thing using the res patcher. that didnt work. could somebody provide me with a link to the offsets for the RELOADED executable. im 60% thro the game atm. but i can only play it in 1280x768 and it looks pretty shitty. hopefully one of you guys will be able to help me.

i have got a dell xps m1530 . 4gb ram . 8600gt 2ghz processor. laptop is fine. gotta be something do with the hack.

anychance i'll be able to play at 5040x1050? lol?
