Need For Speed 2: SE - FAQ
Questions big and small, we have a database of common problems, questions, and answers on call for you to browse through.
Question: I can't get 3dfx mode to work!
Answer: Depends on your video card.. It shouldn't have any problem with Voodoo 2's, but Voodoo 3's and later Voodoo cards are problems for NFS2SE to detect as being 3dfx cards for some odd reason. Simple fix, however. Just copy the NFS2SEA.exe from your CD into your main NFS2SE directory on your harddrive and just run the game from that exe if you want 3dfx mode to work.
For GeForce/TNT cards or any other non-Glide card with OpenGL, go to www.glideunderground.com and find a Glide Wrapper. You probably will have to mess around with many in order to get one that works properly enough.
Question: I can't get NFS2SE to work in Windows 2000.
Answer: Just get the latest compatability patches and Service Pack 1 or 2 and it should be just fine.
Question: How do I make my car spin and do a 360 in the air?
Answer: We suggest you use the Lotus GT1 in Mediterraneo for doing a 360. When you are almost complete the jump quickly press handbrake and turn one way (let go of accel). You will start spinning around. To land this we suggest you press accel when your in the position you want to land in.
Question: How do I make my car twirl or flip?
Answer: When you are near the second jump in Mediterraneo (close to the windmills) go past the jump and to the entrance of the tunnel and turn around. Head back at the jump from behind, it will be bumpy but if you can hit it at a high speed you will either do a flip or twirl. It is just luck causing this to happen.
