Hi, thanks a lot for the reply. I already figured it out myself, the answer to my question was there whole time in front of my eyes lol. The game is running fine. There are still some minor issues, more annoyances but I can't complain.

I even copied the entire "SaveData" folder from my current working install (including the two missing files) to the directory of the faulty installaton with Verok's patch. Still the same error....

Hey, thx for the quick reply. I thought at first too it was an issue with my "downloaded" source but then I tried with an original CD I still had, same error. BTW got the game running with the essentials patch, but also would like to see what Verok's patch is all about.

Hi,I installed the patch and started the game. It goes past the Electronic Arts Intro and the Intro video with the Driver but then I get an error message with the following content: Error: terminate execution? FILE_Save - unable to open file . \savedata\nfs5.trk [FILE=\real\cmn\hlsfile.c, LINE=628] I can press "Yes" or "No" When pressing yes the game closes when pressed no I get a second error box: Error: terminate execution? FILE_Save - unable to open file . \savedata\XXDefXX.sav [FILE=\real\cmn\hlsfile.c, LINE=628] When I choose No on both boxes I am forwarded to the character creation menu but creating a character leads to the game crashing. Any suggestions? Thanks!
