Games that use the first Unreal engine, such as Deus Ex , Unreal Tournament , and Unreal , have problems running on modern CPUs, due to those CPUs having features that the Unreal engine isn't prepared for, such as multiple cores, variable speeds on one CPU, a very high CPU speed, etc/ There's a …

My two cents. I bought years ago a boxed-copy, still-shrink-rapped copy of TNFS:SE, and I have found it to be one hell of a game to get to work, even on older systems. First of all, the Windows version is worse than the DOS version in terms of performance. On my Pentium MMX 233 machine with a 3dfx …

DirectPlay is not an issue. If on Windows 8 or later, install DirectPlay first from Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn Windows features on and off. Duplicate dplayx.dll in Windows\SysWOW64 (or System32 if it's 32-bit OS) and name it dplay.dll, alternatively, you can make a hard link to the …

Yeah, there's no guarantee that this procedure will work. The DSerial error can be ignored by clicking OK. However the game may not run for some GPU incompatibility, as the DxWnd log shows after initialising DDraw. However the same drivers worked for me. My secondary PC with any OS ran the game …

Someone was apparently lucky getting it running on his Windows 7 x64 machine (source: DxWnd 's NFS:SE profile notes). This post was actually helpful. I tried what they followed for over 6 hrs and I couldnt run it. Maybe I shall try it on Win7 64 tomorrow and get better results. I found that on …
