I'm getting error 126 ("This ASI file requires a dependency that is missing from your system") with "NextGenGraphics.MostWanted" and "XNFS-ShaderLoader-MW" ASI files. My AMD is an integrated graphics (AMD Radeon(TM) R5 Graphics). I checked the third box during NFS-VltEd installation and tried both wrappers provided in the "ReadMe" file, but they didn't worked. What should I do?

@Turkifier, read troubleshooting section in readme.

I have an RTX 3080 coupled with an R5 3600. After applying the mod, I can't get a constant 60+ FPS. Is that normal? Could it be a CPU bottleneck? I'm on a 1080p monitor running the game at 2.25x DL. Or if it's caused by the mod, can you re-upload the 1.1 version? Everyone says that version has no performance issues.
