Need For Speed ProStreet
PC LAN Patch Notes - December, 2007
===================================
This patch adds LAN (Local Area Network) play to the PC version of Need for Speed ProStreet.
LAN Play Overview:
This patch introduces multiplayer game play in a standalone LAN
environment. Up to 32 games of 2-8 players per game are supported. The
patch has two components:
- Updated ProStreet game client
- New ProStreet LAN Server
IMPORTANT:
- ProStreet PC LAN Game Server is a separate application that must be started before attempting to use LAN Play.
- Run one server only per LAN. Only one ProStreet PC LAN Game Server is required per LAN. Each server can host up to 32 games.
ProStreet Game Client
===================================
Prerequisite: The PC LAN Game Server MUST be running on one PC
connected to the LAN before selecting LAN in the ProStreet game. See
below for instructions on how to start up a PC LAN Game Server.
LAN Game play option can be found on the main menu.
Step 1) PC LAN Game Server Auto-Discovery
When LAN is selected, ProStreet will automatically discover and connect to the LAN Game Server running on the LAN.
If not found automatically, the player is presented with a screen to
manually enter the IP Address of the PC LAN Game Server in case the
server is running on a different subnet.
Step 2) LAN Account Creation
ProStreet PC LAN play requires each player to create a user account on
the LAN Game Server. The username and password are case sensitive. All
LAN statistics and leaderboards collected during LAN games are
associated with each players account.
Note: LAN play does not require an internet connection and does not use EA Nation user accounts.
Step 3) Login
Login using the created LAN account.
Step 4) Lobby Screen
After login, the user is presented with the LAN lobby screen which
shows a list of all active games (1 or more players) running in the
ProStreet LAN Server. From the lobby screen, either create a new LAN
game or join an existing LAN game.
If the ProStreet LAN Server has not been configured with enough game
servers, then an attempt to create a new LAN Game will fail. In which
case, see below for instructions on ProStreet LAN Server configuration.
ProStreet LAN Server
===================================
Overview:
The ProStreet LAN Server provides the following functionality:
- Hosts up to 32 simultaneous games of 2-8 players per game
- LAN Player Account Database
- LAN Leaderboards and Game Statistics
- Game Results Web Server
- Game Results RSS Feed
Note that only ONE PC connected to the LAN should host the ProStreet LAN Server.
ProStreet LAN Server System requirements:
- Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.
Step 1) Startup ProStreet LAN Server
In the ProStreet install directory, run the following application:
\Online\Launcher.exe
E.g. "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed ProStreet\Online\Launcher.exe"
Step 2) ProStreet LAN Server Configuration
In the ProStreet LAN Server window, select "Settings->Edit". The following options are available:
- Max Create Games: (Default 1)
- Server Port: (Default 10104)
- HTTP Port: (Default 8080)
- RSSFeed: (Default Enabled)
Select the number of games that the server is to host. Maximum of 32
games can be hosted. Select "OK". Server must be restarted for changes
to take effect. Restart server by selecting "File->Restart".
ProStreet LAN Server: Game Results Web Server
===================================
The LAN game results collected in the ProStreet LAN Server can be
viewed by any PC connected to the LAN via a web browser. Note that a
LAN game must be completed and exited by all players in order for a
game result to be finalized and logged on the server.
The ProStreet LAN Server game results web page is located at the following URL by default: http://SERVERIP:8080.
If you wish to change the port that the web server runs on, edit
"Server Port" which can be found under "Settings->Edit" in the
ProStreet LAN Server Window.
ProStreet LAN Server: Game Results RSS 2.0 Feed
===================================
The LAN Game Server provides a RSS feed of completed game results as
they occur. The RSS feed is RSS 2.0 and you must have a compatible RSS
client to subscribe to the feed. (E.g. Mozilla Firefox Version 2 or
later; or, Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 7 or later).
A link to the RSS 2.0 feed is on the ProStreet LAN Server web page at URL: http://SERVERIP:8080
Alternatively, the rss 2.0 xml file is located at:
http://SERVERIP:8080/lan-rss.xml

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.
Tornado & LightHouse PhysX Mod maps for UT3 ready for download now.
Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
| Need for Speed: Pro Street December 11, 2007 Pro Street is a style of street-legal races similar to drag racing, with private custom cars. Cars of this type are equipped with oversized rear wheels and large capacity V8 engines, often supercharged. Pro Street is also the name for the last Need for Speed installment, but this does not mean that you play a game that features only these kind of races. Almost hilarious, this game does not even emphasize on this races. Then let's see on what?!
