Need for Speed II - Game Mod - Verok’s Patch v.1.0.5 - Download

Verok’s Patch is a mod for Need for Speed II: Special Edition, created by Verok.

Description:

The mod fixes a lot of issues this game has on modern PCs. The most important thing is that ienables game to support external 3rash API renderers from newer EA games, like NFS III,IV or V. While this patch was never completely finished yet, it’s still most playable than any others over the net. If you want to play Need for Speed II: Special Edition today you NEED this mod!

This patch was created in the same manner as other great Need For Speed III - Modern Patch from belarusian guy VEG. Patch includes several patched EA Thrash (3rash) renderers for DirectX and Glide (nGlide). Also it includes my own created OpenGL 1.1/3.0 renderer.

This patch also includes configuration utility to customize patch options, like selecting graphic renderer, switching windowed mode on/off and etc.
