Hi everyone 😀

Just got a copy of NFS4 (high stakes). Installed fine but crashes whole machine on game-load. doesn't matter if D3D selected (Rage Pro) or software render. System Windows 98 SE on a PII 400 with 256mb ram.

Machine runs NFS3 just fine.

Was wondering if maybe there was a patch that might fix this strange bug. I've looked on veg.by, there is a patch there but Windows Defender tells me that it's infected with "Trojan:Win32/Kepavll!rfn" so I got rid of it.

Does anyone know of this weird bug or have a clean version of the last patch so that I can try and fix it?

Thanks so much 😀

The PC Gaming Wiki has the latest patch. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Need_for_Sp … ed:_High_Stakes
I've never experienced this bug on anything.

Thanks for replying 😀

That page just links to the same file on veg.by but Windows Defender says there is a Trojan in it.

It's most likely a false positive. It doesn't seem to have anything.

Almost certainly a false flag.

Kepavll!rfn is Micro$hit's generic flag for every crack, patch and other legit software.
