not bad, thanks for all the hard work getting these effects back on pc
but I have one question, in the next big update, will the installer be compatible with games that have the old X360 stuff installed? if so, that would be perfect

@RK1309
yes

In the next update, do we have a chance to restore the dynamic blur effect and the blue glowe effect?

1. A lot. There's new version in the works. You can see some bits of progress on discord server, link is available on this page or in readme.
2. Not really. You can install xanvier's xtended input mod (NFSMods link is dead so you'll have to search it on google, it should be uploaded on github).

Great job on this and thanks for continuing to improve it. With this, the PC version is now the best (overall) version to play.

2 quick questions:
1) What's left at this point to achieve parity with x360 version? Seems like between this and some other mods (rain droplets, widescreen, xenon, etc.), it's pretty much there, but curious what the current gaps are.

2) Is there any fix to get xbox buttons back? As others have mentioned, the latest version breaks compat. with the WS mod's feature.
