NFS III HP - video problem

[shupike]

Hello! Faced with some trouble while playing Need for Speed II: Hot Pursuit (1998). Picture quality is amasing but: I see some stick-slip motion (sorry for bad English ) I'll try to explain: when I start any level in this game (Hometown, for example), it stops every 1 second. So at some moment game runs excellent, some moment - it stops. Sound is OK. Hardware configuration: Core i5 2,4 GHz, 4 Gb RAM, Video (NVidia GeForce GT740M), WIndows 7 x64. How can I fix this problem?
P.S. NFS 4 HS and NFS 5 PU are amazing, problem is only with NFS III.

If you want to play NFS3 without troubles then you must use VEG's patch. Here is the link: http://veg.by/en/projects/nfs3/

Well, you know - same bug By the way - when I applied this patch, game runs without nglide (I don't see "3dfx" logo - it usually shows that nglide is active). And even in this case - same "slow motion" during all the levels in the game. May be problem with ISO?

Try the attached SDB.
SingleProcAffinity and EmulateDirectDrawSync.

Shupike, uninstall your game and nglide cause VEG's patch already contains newer version of it and then carefully read instructions for patch and you will be fine. Also you don't need the ACT fixes that Gamecollector gave you if you are going to use VEG's patch.

Did you set compatibility mode "Windows 95" or "Windows 98/ME" for nfs3.exe?
If you did it remove this.

It works with nGlide but patch overrides nGlide settings. That's why you don't see it. If you want it back, modify \drivers\nglide\thrash.ini file.

And even in this case - same "slow motion" during all the levels in the game. May be problem with ISO?

Most likely SingleProcAffinity is the problem. After extracting VEG's patch, open "Uninstall or change a program" from "My computer" and check for "Need For Speed 3 Patch" entry. If you have it, remove it.

If you don't, disable Windows 9x compatibility mode for nfs3.exe, like BrainRipper mentioned.
