Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005

[KageSong]

So, I'm talking about the original Most Wanted here. I have a non-steam copy. I have several non-steam NFS games and have gotten the SC working just fine. However, this one refuses to cooperate. I can use a 360 pad just fine. But, those of us who use the SC should know I'd rather use the SC. Any ideas what might be going on?

KB+M work?? Gamepad for Twin Stick Shooters work?? I presume you know how to use the Steam Overlay, and the Big Picture Overlay, Both already since you have gotten your other games working.. What steps have you done to get NFSMW 2005 working?? Others might be able to help you more with a little more info from you...
Cheers and good luck!!

I have been playing (and complete with joy) NFSMW Black Edition with Steam Controller just fine...

As an idea, you have to try running the game (or Steam) under admin privs, cuz a lot of old games were created in different environment when there was no such "protective hierarchies" as we have nowadays. I'm not programmer to say why is it so, I'm curious myself, but it is as it is due to the way its written (obviously :) Some of them works under default permissions, some - not.

I have tried the admin mode. I don't know what else to try. Marty you are correct about my knowledge of the overlays. Basically, the only extra step I know is admin mode, but made no difference.

Run Steam in admin and the game in admin also??
Try that and report back for better or worse...That way someone else with more knowledge might be able to help...

Cheers, and Good Luck!!
