@Espio: Yes, the graphics settings are laughable, no custom settings, I play at minimum to keep fps acceptable, there are though a few settings I could turn on without hurting performance if I had a custom option, but I never play with non realtime reflections, so minimum it is for me at 1024x768. Rarely and at best I have 30fps, usually 15-20, with certain areas of the map and/or with lots of people lowering near 10fps. @DanielPK: There are still a LOT of network errors, both ingame, like joining multiplayer events, as well as the server kicking people out, I even had a login issue with the launcher. About the install folder, when you install nfsw for the first time it asks you where you want to install the launcher, then it asks where you want the game data, which usually goes to C:\ProgramData To tell the truth I don't think there's that much of a performance difference between 800x600 and 1024x768, and since a few onscreen windows like the map, chat and the race results go out of the screen at 800x600, I'm sticking with 1024x768, which runs basically the same.
