Some of the most commonly asked questions on this sub are from users trying to get the game installed and working on their PC or laptop for the first time, or the first time in many years. These are exactly the kind of people we need to be encouraging. As without new users, support for the game will eventually dwindle and end. So here are the most commonly asked questions on this sub and hopefully the most useful answers. If anyone has anything they think should be added, whether it's a recurring question or a good answer, please let us know in the comments.
After searching around for Nascar 03 to buy i found the prices are crazy, so i started looking for a free legal version of the game seeing as it's so hard to find. and yes i have found one so here is the guide to installing it.
I have NR2005 & it did not work on my win 7 home premium but I saw a post on a forum that said to install nascar thunder 04 then copy a file from that folder & paste it into the NR2005 folder & rename it, I did that & now it opens but the graphics are all messed up, the vehichles are just lines & weird shapes. I tried changing the compatibility mode, running as administrator & also changing the game settings but no luck, any ideas? thanks!
I just purchased Windows 7 installed nr 2003 disabled DEP..The game works but not very well..If I race in a crowd it works fine.But if I am running by myself in front of the pack or behind the pack it is sluggish like it is not getting the frames per second rate needed to run the game..My FPS run between 115 and and 145.The graphics are real good.It seems to have the same problem no matter what mod I run..Can anyone point me in the right direction??
Thanks Al
If you are racing against a lot of cars, the textures will most likely appear blurry. In order to fix this, you'll need to edit 3 .ini files. These are core.ini, rend_dxg.ini (potentially called rend_ogl.ini or rend_d3d.ini) and player.ini. The first two can be found in the base folder where you installed NR2003, the third one is found in the folder of your profile, found within the players folder.
Uninstall version 1.0 or 1.1
Use Window's Add or Remove Programs which can be found in Control Panel. It might give you an error message while uninstalling, but you can ignore it. Then manually erase the NR2003 Editor directory if there is (By default, C:\Program Files\NR2003 Editor).
