W2C (World To Carbon)





W2C


by MaxHwoy
2.0.0






Description


W2C (World to Carbon) is a Need for Speed: World (2015) to Need for Speed: Carbon map port.
This port has been made using Hypercooled.

The port contains 3 different stream file versions, one with normal quality World textures,
one with highest quality World textures, and one with highest quality X360 Carbon and Most
Wanted textures:

1. STREAML5RA_NORMAL -> file with normal quality World 2015 textures.
2. STREAML5RA_WORLD -> file with highest quality World 2015 textures.
3. STREAML5RA_X360 -> file with highest quality X360 Carbon and Most Wanted textures.

You are free to pick any quality you'd like, although it should be noted that 2nd and 3rd
stream files intensely use RAM. With the 2.0 release, the RAM usage usually does not go
above 1 GB, which should be fine for most of the users.

Features


The port has quite a few extensions on top of regular map conversion, such as:
- New World Map that includes both Palmont and Rockport cities.
- New smackable and simsurface types, ported directly from World (2015).
- New effects, emitter groups, and emitter datas, all ported from World (2015).
- New emitter system page and emitter system normal map page, containing the effects.
- Traffic and encounter patterns all ported from Most Wanted (2005) and World (2015).
- New encounter targets (rival finishlines) were added to Rockport area.
- Hiding spots were all ported from Most Wanted (2005) and World (2015).
- 2.0 : Canyons included!
- 2.0 : San Juan included!
- 2.0 : Drift Track included!

Game crashes as soon as i load my profile
I create a new profile same thing happens

Fresh install of the game with only the w2c installed and still crashes, is there an update to a possible fix?

I don't speak English very well, so I write through a translator. In general, if your game crashes when loading a career or a regular race, chase, then follow this link: https://github.com/MaxHwoy/hyperlinked/releases/tag/v1.0.0 and download this file, don’t be afraid if it will be recognized as a virus, just add it to the list of exceptions in your antivirus, and drop it into the scripts folder and the game will work, I did the same for myself and everything works great.

My game blocks, most likely crashes, whenever I try to load a race/freeroam on 2.0. I've got no problems 1.2 but this crash on 2.0. I put the 4gb patch on the executable and alrady chekced the expanded memory pools on extra aoptions. I don't wanna re-install my game...help
edit: I also installed and reinstalled this version, same problem
