Graphics Settings do not save?
I run NFSUC in compatibility mode, its the only way i get it to start. I run win 98, though my OS is win7. The problem is, the graphical settings do not save over startups. They'll be there during a single session, but if I restart the game its back to 800x600 with everything on low. Any fix?..

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

and delete the nfs undercover entry, thats it!

That sucks, especially cause theres no presets. Oh well, it is an EA game on Steam after all.

I saw this one too but for Origin it doesn't work because Origin will block the compatibility settings and makes this registry entry to handle it

Thanks PiGiNYoUrFAcE, that registry edit works great. It also allows the game to run with a dual monitor PC, so the second monitor no longer needs disabling.
