Hello, First of all this is a fantastic Overhaul mod for this game, Great work on redoing and modifying all the things you mentioned for making this Patch v1.2. Really the handling for these cars are now like Gran turismo or forza like, as it should have been.
I used to own the limited edition disc version long time ago and the physics were bad but the rest of the game was cool so this game and nfs shift were really some of my favs back then (Except the physics). Now my old pc died, and I bought a used gaming laptop, and as the discs are all scratched up it cant be read, and now the game is not available to buy digitally and also there is no point in buying a used one as now you cant get the limited edition things any longer, I downloaded one from "somewhere", Installed that and installed Patch 1.0.2 and game worked fine, then installed the latest UCP & Hidden cars mod v2.0 by helluuum (Which i got with UCP) and worked fine, then when I put Patch v1.2 and compatibility files (without Hidden cars mod v2.0 by helluuum), i noticed some of the cars dont show up (which i read above will have to we won again). As i was using my old save this might be fixed if i started a fresh profile (Due to my working conditions I will do this later when I finally claim my Vacation for this year). Otherwise the activating Hidden cars mod v2.0 by helluuum on top of Patch v1.2 and compatibility files, all cars show up in the garage and car lot, including limited edition ones and other bonus ones like Auto-Bild Porsche, Hot Pursuit cars, promotional cars and all DLC cars.
Patch v1.2 is the O-P version as I dont have that activation.exe in the shift 2 install directory. I noticed that UCP added some new cars (Such as Audi R8 Spyder, DBS Volante, Agera etc) in the car lot which is cool. UCP also added Promotional events too. But UCP doesnt add the Limited Edition Events such as Old vs New and Manufacturer Showdown. I was hoping your Patch v1.2 would add those events but it doesnt.
And another issue is that for some reason my Ford Lotus Cortina crashes the game (With Patch v1.2), Attempting to even view the car in my Garage crashes the game, but it doesnt happen with the Car Lot Cortina. So i deactivated Patch v1.2 and sold the Cortina and then reactivated Patch v1.2 and bought the car, when modifying it I found out that trying to add slick tyres crashes the game. Other upgrades didnt crash. Do you have any idea and what I can do to fix this? (I say again all of this is on my old save and not new profile)
Also is there any mods which add all Ferrari's from Test Drive Ferrari Racing Legends (Atleast the non open wheel f1 cars)? I know some of the ferraris are there (the Ferrari add-on adds all ferraris from nfs shift ferrari dlc, and your Patch mods adds some other ferraris like F40 and F50 and others listed in compatibility mod list on nfs mods) but may other classic ferraris from TDFRL would be cool in S2U. Are you working on these to be compatible with your mod?
