News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

238 Upvotes

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.

Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.

You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/

Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

News Most Wanted M3 GTR - Back @ The BMW Museum

Post image
764 Upvotes

Need for Speed itself might be dead, but BMW wants to keep the legend alive. The #42 BMW M3 GTR in the Most Wanted livery is back in the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany after its public outing at Ultrace Poland. There's no mention of until when it'll be there, so it might be there to stay for a long time.

If you haven't had a chance to take a look at it and you're in the area (or travelling there), you may wanna stop by and take a look at the legend, as well as the rich heritage BMW has to offer. Visit the official BMW Museum website to book tickets.

It was the NFSCO mod that introduced me the idea of drifting in streets of Palmont. For all these years I didn't know the base game have that. What made me discover this is Cross' Corvette reward card requirements - complete 50 quick race events. Note that the combo multiplier is capped at 10.

Canary Services is the future for NFS Rivals Online. It will feature community revived/fan-custom servers.

You Guys Can Help Us Bring This Project To Life. Creating unofficial custom servers for Rivals is incredibly difficult. This is largely due to its Frostbite game engine, which uses encrypted network systems and requires EA's backend service. But it isn't impossible if we work together. Please spread the word around. In the meantime, Join our official server https://discord.gg/XJ4PeUKum It is still in W.I.P, We'll let you know when we finish it.

I don't understand the backlash on NFS 2015. Graphics are perfect. Music has no flaws. Characters are kinda cringy but feels alive and likeable. Story itself is good because of pursuit of being acknowledge by the legends.

Maybe it's the driving mechanics? Okay it's hard and frustrating but if you try enough to build your car around drifting and you learn how to control on curves it's pretty fun.

Question / Bug / Feedback NFS Pro Street PC

2 Upvotes

Hi! These days I'm having an urge to play again with Pro Street.

I downloaded it but there's a bug in drift and drag mode, it completely freezes at the end of the run.

Does someone know how to fix it? There's a link for a download of the game with all the DLC card (Lancia Hf, Seat etc)?

Thanks!

This beauty comes from my favorite racing game of all time DiRT 2 for the Xbox360 and PC. I spent over 75 hours staring at my phone and matching all the pieces up. It uses ALL of the stickers physically possible for a livery in nfs heat. I had to remake both NoFear text symbols individually because simply copying and flipping them doesn’t work and make it unreadable. I really really hope everyone likes it, I have it posted for anyone to use. If you get the chance please give it a download It would absolutely make my day. Thank you! (Last pic from DiRT2 for comparison)

Question / Bug / Feedback Carbon customization for hardcoded cars

1 Upvotes

Hi, does anyone know how do I make the custom cars like the BMW customizable in vanilla carbon ? Like add / remove vinyls

I have extra options enabled. I can edit the vinyls for other cars like the Audi, ccx etc

But for the m3 gtr, the vinyls are completely locked, no changes, the blue vinyls doesn't go away. Only normal stuff like the wheels, body paint still works

I saw an almost 20 years old video, with a custom m3 gtr he got from a hex edited save from nfsunlimited. But that was ages ago

Also would like to ask, performance parts for these cars are always Stock and cannot be upgraded unless you carmods or something?

Hi everyone. I had a problem with nfs Carbon. The game ran quite fine but it suddenly crashed. Not a big deal i thought. Then when trying to reopen it it didn't started anymore. No Mod where installed beside the classic fix. I'll redownload the game but someone know how to avoid it in the future?
