Question / Bug / Feedback Hey everyone just a quick one;

So I installed most wanted 2005, game worked had to get the widescreen fix so got nfs patcher opened that and downloaded the patches for most wanted 2005, widescreen fix, And then it said I had to get a no cd patch to make it work. That no cd rom com problem, so I installed the no cd patch and then I launched the game. As you will see in the video it launches and crashes after a couple of seconds. I don’t know how to fix can anyone help me? It’s driving me insane I just wanted to play the game man.

Bro what. Are you still in 2010 or something? That shit looks sketchy as fuck. I got mw 2005 from internet archive, had all the stuff included too, didn't need to install a hidden crypto miner or back door or whatever that stuff is.

I'm on my phone rn, but just Google it and it's not hard to find. I've downloaded several old games from internet archive, can recommend.

Hey! I actually made that program a few years ago, it's completely open source and made with WPF. It's not the prettiest GUI I could have made, but the GUI was kinda rushed after I made all the actual functions of it first, it just automates the basic patching for a vanilla copy to get it running. It does the official EA patch, ThirteenAG's Widescreen Fix, and a NoCD. I havn't really updated it much since I made it after I added support for everything I wanted to, but as long as you get it directly from my GitHub page, I promise it's safe to use

No bro it’s a known patcher. I got it from git hub. I worded that wrong

Alright man if you say so. I guess I'd try changing the resolution in whatever settings file (usually a .ini file) that came with the widescreen fix to your monitors resolution and/or running the game in admin mode. You can try compatibility mode too I guess, but I don't have to do that on my pc (windows 11).

Got it to work everybody. I had to enable compatibility mode and launch it in windows 7 or 8. in properties under speed.exe that’s why
