The performance is elevated with dxvk but the shadows now get flickering everywhere. This is acknowledged by dxvk team and maybe fixed in their next release. But stuttering still happens even with dxvk. The tunnels get darker and have an orange tonemapping in xbox 360. That is still missing. That's all I noticed so far. Great Mod!!

This is the best and must have mod if you want to play Most Wanted in 2025. I installed it over a clean PC install and been playing on 60fps without any crashes so far and it looks absolutely phenomenal. Few points I'd like to share :
1. I can confirm as KANE shared below, in customization especially the Vinyls preview don't update correctly on cars during scrolling to left or right.
2. There is some stuttering happening frequently & fps drops and goes fine quickly
3. Tunnels tonemapping is not as xbox360

Update:
There is also a problem in the customization shop. When customizing a car in the shop or entering the car customization menu from the garage, rims, vinyls and body kits don’t update correctly.
I select a new rim/body kit/vinyl, but the old one stays visible and the new part doesn’t appear on the car. Sometimes nothing updates at all.
However, when I press ‘View Car’, the correct selected part appears there. The issue only happens in the shop preview

Bugs & Feedback
Great work, really well done.
I noticed a few issues:
• Police cars sometimes freeze during pursuits.
• Exhaust flame shifts slightly to the right during gear changes.
• Rear-view mirror frame shifted once.
• Rims/vinyl/bodykit loading is slow and sometimes the new rim doesn’t appear.
• From a distance, red police lights are extremely bright and blue lights are very weak.
• RenderCarShadows=1 has no effect.
• Xbox font caused a crash — please add it to the mod.
