Someone knows if there's some fix for the shakyness that happens when you turn the corners in this game? i'm talking about playing the game in software mode, otherwise the cockpit view is not available

this is what i'm talking about (minute 1:06)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsk8LyEv4Uw&t=100s

or maybe some way to enable the cockpit running the game in 3d mode?

Maybe run the game with single core?

When you get to the 5th step from this guide, only have Core 0 enabled.

i cannot switch to the task manager or minimize this game to do that...

Chose the exe from NFSII and set the processor affinity mask to only 0 (zero) and click on run

There is also a Patch that should stabilize things:

Open notepad, and write the following:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start /affinity 1 nfsen.exe

and save the file with .bat extension.

(PS: I don't have the game on hand currently, you have to edit nfsen.exe to the corresponding executable you are launching, I don't remember if it's 2 's' in the name.)

I think you should use a frame limiter, like limit to 30FPS. Can your PC use dgVoodoo2? What is your GPU and OS?

What is your hardware?
I can confirm this is happening to me on Ryzen 5600 with RX 6600 XT, and on Q9550 with HD7850, but not on T4200 with intel graphics.
Windows 10 on all three.
It's weird that I haven't noticed this problem before.
Happens both on Glide and software versions, patched, with single proc affinity, dgVoodoo or not.

Ryzen 5 1600, 1050Ti and Windows 11, same issue. I don't remember seeing this either. I am going to test a VM, to reduce testing conditions.

Update: Same machine with Windows 7 and VMware drivers => same result. I also found that if I paused the game and resumed it, the game momentarily sped up. Maybe related to CPU speed?

Update-2: I installed the game on PCem Windows 98 with a Pentium 2 CPU, and guess what, the problem remains there. Now I am not sure if it's again related to Ryzen 5 1600 speed as it shouldn't affect it, but I will have to wait 2 days before testing on a 3rd generation Intel Pentium

is a mistery, also there's no threads in google or adressing this problem in the pc gaming wiki

So not Ryzen-specific (even Core 2 Quad is affected), happens on both AMD and nVidia graphics (but in software mode it shouldn't really matter), not Windows version specific (at least Win7, 10, 11), using a VM doesn't help, and somehow the problem emerged only recently (no existing info, and I remember playing this game a few months ago with no issues).

Indeed a mystery. I hope it'll be solved or at least explained soon..

Also, Celeron J1900 with its integrated graphics - affected.

Or maybe it's not hardware, but rather some recent patch we're all using that's causing this.

So called "Abandonware" not supported here.

what??? i didn't posted any link here!

Maybe because of the source we discussed. Anyways, let me put the main thing here:

Regardless of release, testing the same level, I have the same result in Pentium 2 Windows 98, Pentium G2020 Windows XP and Windows 7, Ryzen 5 1600 Windows 10 and Windows 11.
