How To Install and Change Language?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

- Extract contents of nfs3_modern_base_eng.7z into any writeable empty directory.


Done! Now you're have working copy of NFS3 in English language.
- You can choose language via Language setting in the nfs3.ini. The list of
supported languages is a little below.
- Optionally, you can also install the voice sound files in the required language
(or in all languages together). Just extract the contents of an according archive
to the root directory of the game.
- If you've chosen non-English language, but you haven't installed according voice
sound files, the game will use English voice sound files.
- Warning! If you had used original NFS3 before, it is very likely that some
compatibility patches are installed in your system. Usually these patches disallow
NFS3 to use all cores of your processor. It will be a cause of performance
degradation of Modern NFS3, because these patches are installed globally and they
affect all copies of NFS3 on your PC. As a result you will have Modern NFS3 with
poor performance of original NFS3. If you would like to remove these patches,
download and install Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=82101). Run Compatibility Administrator
(32-bit) and see what you have in the Installed Databases. If you will find some
patches according to NFS3, just remove them.
- The game requires a real IP address, the 9803 and 1030 ports have to be opened
for the multiplayer game. Just after first try to create a new multiplayer game
default Windows firewall will ask you, if you wish to allow network access for the
game, but this dialog will be displayed under game's window, so you have to close
the game and agree with the system. After this you will be able to create or
connect to multiplayer games without any problems.
