[RUN] Need for Speed The Run: Definitive Edition

Need for Speed The Run: Definitive Edition

This mod improves various game textures to make it look more appealing on modern-day computers, includes things such as:

8K and 16K HDRI skyboxes
4K Unreal Engine 5 lens dirt textures
New and improved game world fog
New high-resolution UI background textures
New high-resolution UI elements
Improved vinyls
Improved and upscaled character textures

Version requirement:
Any version will work but 1.1.0.0 is recommended

Thanks to Xan for his unlocker script

Known bugs:

When alt-tabbing, if the game window loses focus, it won't get its focus back. It's a bug when Special K is injected into Frostbite engine games. Might be fixed in the future (by SK's team)

TRDE 1.2 Changelog:

Fixed crashes during the first Run mission

Added HD car manufacturer logos

Upscaled pre-renders of Aston Martin and Volkswagen cars

Moved Xan's scripts and the FPS unlocked executable to optional add-ons

How to install mode?

the mod is working reasonably well, but the new textures don't seem to load

Obviously if the d3d11.ini file doesn't appear it's because you didn't start the game with the mod installed, you should get the error first and then the file will appear in the game folder :). Sorry for being late haha I didn't think I'd found a solution.
