Getting 'exception error' when starting the game #15

Closed peter099 closed 3 years ago

peter099 commented 3 years ago

I have NFS 2 Hot Pursuit installed on Windows 10 Pro and the resolution of my laptop screen is 1920x1080. I have set the comparability mode for NFSHP2.exe to Windows XP. I downloaded the ReleasePack.zip for Windows XP compatibility release and copy the files to the game root directory. But when i start the game i get this error:

Version: 240 is your problem

Please fulfill all requirements before running HP2WSFix.

This issue is also present on the latest patch for the game. Someone edited PCGW to say that you need to copy some content from the original game CD, but this didn't fix it for me. What did ultimately fix it was replacing the WSFix render hook (d3d8.dll) with DGVoodoo, now the game starts fine. I'm not sure if I'm missing out on any special fixes from WSFix though... hopefully this can be looked into.

I pretty much have this same issue, so I think it should be reopened. I got nothing against dgVoodoo, but I really wish I could use the widescreen fix instead like I could with UG, UG2, and MW2005. I know the widescreen fixes for those are made by a different author (ThirteenAG), but still.

Here's what my error looks like, btw:

Maybe this app and the patches are underprepared to run from D:\Games\Need for Speed - Hot Pursuit 2 (I have only ONE SSD on my laptop, as the physical drive has two simultaneous virtual drives, C:and D:) safely, even with DirectPlay on. Not even DgVoodoo could prevent this exception error. We need some more further research on this issue, maybe the brand-new patch for this game can help.
