Is it possible the no/cd patch somehow fiddled with the -loose option? Unlikely I know, but still. I unpacked the game, ran the install.bat (only relative path references in the bat files as far as I can tell, so installation path should not be an issue), but tracks didn't change. Thanks for your great work & any ideas, hoover Followup: the nocd patch appears to work, but the no blingbling patch doesn’t, the tracks look the same as before.

Has anybody tried the no/cd mod with good results? Again, it's the legitimate buyers who get bitten in the bum by publishers :sad: Hi folks,

I wanted to see if the track detail selection, in the Grapics menu would lower the detail. Guess what! The lower I put it. The more detail I got! If you haven't tried it.

I followed the guide, used the 3 bat files in a command prompt with admin rights. Everything is extracted, I've added -loose to the shortcut and so on but the tracks remain unchanged.

Must have done something wrong, will try again tonight. A bit more info:

Also shaves a bit off the FPS, as less bulls**t is needed to render. Make sure you make a schortcut with the following switch: "X:\Need For Speed - SHIFT\shift.exe" -loose Where X is the partition you installed it. Great mod, makes the tracks much more real.
