Website · Source Code · Default INI

Fixes

• Resolution - native support for any display resolution, including ultrawide
• Aspect Ratio - corrected for all rendered elements
• HUD - repositioned and scaled to match the active aspect ratio; optional constraint (16:9, 21:9, or custom)
• Field of View - corrected for widescreen; optional mathematically accurate hor+ scaling

• FMVs - fullscreen display for 16:9 with crop or stretch mode; auto-fit scaling for narrower ratios
• Cutscene Borders - removes the letterboxing that appears during cutscenes

New Options

• Skip Intro - bypass startup FMVs
• Windowed Mode - borderless, bordered, resizable, or borderless fullscreen
• FPS Limit - uncapped, fixed value, or synced to monitor refresh rate (including 2×)
• High FPS Cutscenes - raises the cutscene frame rate limit to the nearest multiple of 30
• Gamepad Support - Xbox, PlayStation, or PC text labels, with fixed front-end bindings

• Analog Deadzones - configurable left and right stick deadzones
• Custom Save Directory - redirect user files to any subfolder in the game directory
• Registry-Free Settings - optionally saves all game settings to settings.ini instead of the registry
• Single Core Affinity - prevents crashes on modern multi-core CPUs

• No Optical Drive - allows the game to run without a disc present
• Audio Sample Rate - override the game's default 44100 Hz if needed
• Rain Droplet Scale - adjusts the size of on-screen rain droplets
• Console Gamma - a custom gamma curve that creates a more contrasted image with deeper colors, similar to how some games looked on the Xbox 360

Camera

• Mouse/Stick Look - fully functional free-look with adjustable sensitivity for both mouse and right stick. Experience Need for Speed: Underground 2 like never before with new camera angles. Reset timeout, return speed, and vertical axis inversion are all configurable in the .ini file.
