Widescreen Fix
PS3 Visual Treatment for NFS Carbon

UPDATE: 2/4/2023

NFSMW
- Added DisableBackFaceCulling, also known as the "GeometryFix" feature from previous versions of HD Reflections.
- Removed "RealFrontEndReflections" from the INI file. This line was mistakenly added in a previous update and is non-functional.

NFSU2
- ImproveMotionBlur will no longer be enabled while in the front-end to prevent possible problems with depth of field.

Note: Check the INI file for all available features! These are just general features.

RealisticChrome : Makes the chrome materiel more reflective.
VehicleReflectionBrightness : Controls the intensity of vehicle reflections.

Q: Is this compatible with other mods?
A: I can't make any promises. It's been tested with Widescreen Fix, Extra Options, Unlimiter, and HUD Resizer. All texture mods and car mods should work.

Q: What are the system requirements?
A: It depends on your resolution, settings, and other graphical enhancements being used. For 1080p, an NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 480 should be more than enough for default settings.

Q: Why is a No-CD fix required?
A: Need for Speed games have protections (DRM) that make it difficult to view and modify their code, so No-CD patches are often recommended when using ASI scripts. In addition, the memory addresses in my scripts are all hardcoded, so it's not something I can easily change. If you're concerned about malware, ask the community on the NFSMods Discord to help you acquire these patches from a safe source.

Q: Why is the latest version of the Widescreen Fix recommended?
A: Most of the features I make are often designed to work with the Widescreen Fix, as I'm heavily involved in the development of both mods. Carbon's "ReflectionContrast" and "LightingFix" features are a good example of this. The Widescreen Fix also provides a solid foundation that everyone should use, since it corrects visual and technical errors the PC ports have.

Q: Why don't I have water reflections like your screenshot of Need for Speed Most Wanted?
A: Install Xbox 360 Stuff Pack by osdever & elaymm4. My screenshots simply demonstrate the improvement in resolution and detail.

Q: What happened to the old mod pages?
A: They've been deleted. I've decided to consolidate everything into a single package; this applies to the download page and the source code. It's easier for me to manage and more convenient for the people downloading them.
