Gave this a go off steam and...

[Zepondrax]

So I couldnt get this off steam so I got it from somewhere else... It took me around 20 minutes of messing around first with the stupid YUZE application :(
I just wanted to open the EXE and play the game...No I have to open something called YUZE and then play the game from there. It didnt recognise my keyboard nor controller.. I had to configure the controller in game, and then it kept reverting back and getting my controls wrong. Eventually I got it working.

Why does NFS games insist on using EA or YUZE or third party applications to play their games. Can't we just play the game? How this got positive feedback I dont know?

The graphics so far arent that great for a 2018 game, the commentary isnt that great and it doesnt feel like a traditional NFS Game. Car handling they expect you to use handbrack around corners.

Anyone else like this game or not?

After finally getting the game to work, and played it a bit I decided to buy it on steam?
Does the steam version still us YUZE? I am hoping not and if so WHAT IS THIS 3RD PARTY APP YUZE?

No idea what is yuze, never heard of it, unless you meant yuzu (which is nintendo switch emulator). That would mean you played the emulated Switch version on your pc.
The native pc version doesn't have it obviously, although it says on the store page that ea app and ea account are required even here on steam. You can see those little brown turds mentioning 3rd party drm / requirements on store pages, which for me is enough of a reason to ignore these versions. Not a fan of 3rd party drm / client / acc / always online, etc. Steam itself should suffice for that... but majority drank the koolaid and seem to not mind these increasingly restrictive measures, even when it eventually comes around biting them in the ass. Just my 2 cents here ofc.

Yes it was YUZU! When it loads up (my non steam version) it loads YUZU and up comes Nintendo Switch...so yeah emulated verison...of course it loads once, then as soon as I restart my PC or shut down and come back to the game it doesnt work again...sigh....annoying...in the end I gave up and decided to but this one on steam as it was on special for around $4-$5.

as my connection sucks, I am halfway through downloading it. Yes I saw the third party apps required to play it. I hate that too, its like assassins creed games on here, you pay for it here, download it and then you need UBISOFT third party app to play it. another bunch of rubbish, I think you just need steam to play any game

YUZU sucks though, it just wont work properly on my PC, never doing that again

I understand. Emulation is quite demanding on the cpu side more than anything else. It might be that the repacked Switch version with yuzu was set up in a certain way to fit most users as an easy install, but would require some config tweaks to better match your pc setup - or a standalone, custom setup of yuzu. It's usually quite a laborious process to set it right at first, but afterwards it should be a smooth sailing.

This pc version comes also with denuvo drm, so that might be the reason why nobody bothered to crack it, considering that we have/had the original non-remastered version of nfs:hp here ... and since it's pc, you can have much higher resolutions than on console, not to mention mods, so this remaster was mainly aimed at them.

Hope this works out better for you and if it doesn't run reasonably well then there is always the refund option on Steam.

Well im 15Gb into the 28Gb download.


The Emulation one started working initialling but every restart or shutdown of my gaming PC caused the emulation to stop working so Id have to reinstall thus losing my progress. Hopefully the steam version is ten times better and easier to run
