N.i.c.e. 2 aka Breakneck

Version: 1.1.0 Played on: Windows 10 In theory you have two separate versions: Arcade and Expert, but the second one is unplayable. Arcade: If you set the resolution in the game settings too high, the game may hang a few seconds after the race starts. But 1024x768x32 worked like a charm for me. Expert: Regardless of the settings, the game menu runs below 15 FPS, and even if you start a new race, the game will crash immediately after loading.

"Expert" mode doesn't work.

This game has two modes, which are essentially two different games (with different menus even): "Arcade" and "Expert". "Arcade" works (even in resolutions as high as 1920x1080 at 32bit) if you go to "Setup" and disable the "Software engine" checkbox. I don't know why GOG decided to use a DirectX wrapper (dgVoodoo) and then enable the use of the game's internal software renderer, but fortunately, you can disable it. "Expert" flat-out doesn't work. I can't even get through the menus, I tried with and without "Software engine" and even 640x480 resolution at 16-bit, it just doesn't work. Which is a shame, because "Expert" has the game's career mode. There is a "patch-1-0-4a" out there, but apparently, the GOG release has it pre-applied, so it has no effect. I guess there is a reason this game was a bargain bin special from launch, but I expected GOG to either apply compatibility fixes or warn us about the fact that more than half the game doesn't work.

all modes work fine

to all ppl who have crashes, just make sure the color depth is 16-bit, and if you have gpu you can switch off the software renderer; both with/wthout software renderer work fine on my machine, and im able to achieve 240fps (vsync). not sure if it matters, but i use my admin account for this game. everything just works, both standard/expert and arcade modes. (*) tested with few resolution upto 2560x1440 (2k), but hud elements dont scale e.g. mirror, so highest res i recommend is 1024x768 (xga), but a lower res such as 800x600 (svga) works best for my taste. (*) played std/expert for 1 hour without crashes, however at extreme rare conditions and only when aborting current training or race it can trigger a crash. the crash upon aborting race is random with very low probability of crashing, even aborting 10 times wasnt enough for me to trigger it. p.s. i first played nice2 in 2000 (on vga res), including nice1, greatest racing game i have ever seen on pc.
