Midtown Madness 2 تحميل
Irmgard Verzi
Before Burnout popularised insane street races through city traffic, Midtown Madness was giving PC gamers their own high octane thrills. Players can choose from a variety of cars (and even a bus) and dash haphazardly through Chicago, vying to beat their opponents to the next checkpoint.
The game should install without any issues on a modern PC. Simply place the CD into your computers optical drive and follow the on-screen prompts. If the autorun installer does not start automatically, browse to the CD in Computer/This PC and manually run the setup.exe program.
Now, download the Midtown Madness Video Patcher from this page (link broken? Let me know here). Again, the download comes as a Zip file. Simply open the Zip file and copy the videopatcher2.exe file from inside the zip file to your Midtown Madness game folder. Now, run the videopatcher2.exe file. The window shown below should then appear.
Under Windows 8 we were only able to get the game playing in 640480 software mode. When we configured the game using the video patcher tool, everything appeared to work, but we were not able to select options from the games main menu.
I do have an issue on my PC, may be caused by Nvidia drivers, not sure; in all the menus the text (when entering keyboard controls or selecting graphics options) is skewed at 45 degree angle, making it really unreadable in the menus :-/
I have tried the multiplayer patch and after I have applied the patch when I run midtown.exe I get a message which says: Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application. Before I applied the patch, the game works without insert the disk. I have lost my original game disc for Midtown Madness so I dont know if the patch solve my problems or not. Please help!
I am able to select hardware mode the game lags if I use hardware mode. It works fine if I use software mode. On my old pc can I run the game even in hardware mode and the game works fine. But I want to play the game in hardware mode on the new pc without lag. I wonder what the problem is because the new pc has better cpu and video card than the old pc.
I wish also a patch so I can read the text and get the text normal.
On my new pc, I am able to select hardware mode but the game lags if I use hardware mode. Even if I use the resolution 640480. My video.cfg contains hardware mode already so the videopatcher doesnt help. Can anyone create a patch so I can run the game in hardware mode without lag? I know the problem is anything with ddraw.dll. I need to update DDRAW.DLL.
But, dgvoodoo 2.42 work for Midtown Madness 2 except, I cant see the intro videos.
Instead of an intro video, I see only a black screen but I can hear the sound. Why I only see a black screen instead of the intro videos? Is it any settings I have wrong or what is the problem?
Please help!
Ok, not funny. It worked once! Literally ONCE! I quit the game to write about how I got smooth gameplay on win10, then got back and again low fps!! Not funny at all. But maybe this will be a clue for someone else why this games behave this way.
Thanks!
It works for me to run Midtown madness in high resolution on windows 8 and 10
if I use dgvoodoo 2.54 and rename Midtown.exe to midtownmadness.exe.
But this may not work with amd cards.
