Install & play guide:

• Mount the disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
• Install the game (if autorun doesn't work - try to launch Autorun.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP))
• Also it is recommended to install DirectX 9 from the disc (if you're using Windows 10 - enable DirectPlay, read this or this guide how to do it)
• Once you installed the game - install the patch v1.1. Note that the patch for US version is not compatible with EU version, and vice versa
• Patch fixes many bugs, adds support for LAN multiplayer, plus it adds new bonus events and cars
• After that install NoDVD (simply copy NFS.exe from the archive and put it into game directory, replacing original NFS.exe)
• Then install NFS Pro Street Generic Fix by ThirteenAG (instructions are inside the archive)
• Open the directory with the game and find NFS.exe. Right click on NFS.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP" and "Run as administrator"
• Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't work in compatibility mode with Windows XP - try to launch it in compatibility mode with other version of Windows (98, 2000 or Vista)

How to unlock DLC content:

The patch 1.1 adds bonus content from DLCs but some cars/events are not available in the menu. Here's few methods how to unlock them:

1. Use Booster Pack DLC Cars Unlocker to unlock 16 new cars that was added with patch 1.1
2. Install NFSPS Extra Options mod (edit ini-file to unlock all cars) or use NFSPS Multi Unlocker (unlocks DLC cars and extra events)
3. Use PatchFix for 1.1 by JunkiedStar. That fix was created for Russian version of the game but works with other versions too. We tested it on English version of the game, and uploaded it to our website with the guide on English, you can find it in Downloads -> Fixes category. Also, the broken custom body kits are disabled in this fix

Note that some of DLC cars (Dodge Challenger Concept, Gallardo Superleggera, McLaren F1, Porsche 911 GT3 997 and Audi R8) are broken. When you will install custom body kits on that cars, some parts of car model is becoming invisible. To fix that you need to download & install mods from this link

Notes:

• If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Autorun.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP)
• NoDVD is required for the launch because the game is using SecuROM DRM protection, which doesn't work on modern systems. That NoDVD "breaks" DRM protection and allows the game to work on modern systems
• The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
• If you have troubles with installation of patch - copy patch-file into the game directory then launch it from there. Sometimes the patch cannot find the game directory automatically
• It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for the correct work of the game
• Also it is recommended to install RAD Video Tools and K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
• NFS: ProStreet multiplayer servers doesn't work for many years already, but you still can play LAN mode multiplayer with tools like Hamachi. Watch this video guide for instruction. Please note that LAN multiplayer doesn't work on Windows 11, currently there's no fix for it
• US version of the game has full English localization and text localization for 16 languages. EU version supports 9 languages. If you want to change the language - use Language Changer
• By default the game supports resolutions up to 1920x1200, but with NFS Pro Street Generic Fix you can play the game on ultra-high resolutions up to 4k. If you want to play on multi-monitor setup or on ultra-widescreen monitor - use fixes from PCGamingWiki
• Some of graphical mods, like HD Reflections mod, are using dinput8.dll from Widescreen fix as a base. If you want to play with both HD Reflections and Widescreen - leave only the newest dinput8.dll
• If you want to play with gamepad - use NFS Pro Street Generic Fix, the latest version includes improved gamepad support. As alternative - you can use NFS-XtendedInput plugin. If you have troubles with gamepad deadzones - check this guide
• Check PCGamingWiki guide for modifications, there's a lot of mods that can enhance game's graphics and improve gameplay, like improved HUD textures, better reflections, etc. Also, check GamePressure to find some gameplay and graphics mods
• For users of Windows 64-bit systems: if the game doesn't work after you launched it - open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) and check for processes NFS.exe and rundll32.exe. Close NFS.exe but don't touch rundll32.exe (it's a Windows app for running old apps from 32-bit operational systems, most old games running through rundll32.exe). Now try to launch the game again, it must work. Don't forget to close rundll32.exe process in Task Manager after finishing playing
