More fixes for Need For Speed Undercover
The graphical issues i mentioned in my above post can be just partially solved by adjusting the in-game video settings
Here are some of them that i found useful and working in my machine:
1) enabling v-sync [this has shown to reduce screen tearing (atleast in my case) and the game's fps will be set to your monitor's refresh rate (60 Hz for me)]
2) set shadows to either 'low' or 'medium'. However,just as expected turning this setting off gives a massive performance boost (i got +20 fps!)
3) If you set world effects and world objects to high, all particles will be loaded and this mostly solves the 'broken roadmarks' issue that i mentioned in my previous post.
4) the broken steam overlay can be fixed now, but the guide i have for that is for windows 10 only 🙁 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1138005386
5) if you press alt+tab in-game to switch back to the desktop,the game freezes and would remain that way until you forcefully close it somehow. there isnt a real fix for this other than running the game in windowed mode.
many more issues exists within the game, and i will post them here if i find a solution.
