    Q: Can I play online with V2.0 Lite? A: Yes. The mod is compatible with the NFSU2 Online fan server. However, all players in a lobby must have the exact same mod version (V2.0 Lite) otherwise texture mismatches will occur.

    Q: Does it work on the Steam Deck / Linux? A: Perfectly. Use Proton GE 8-25 or newer. Disable the built-in Reshade via the config tool. Expect 60 FPS on Medium settings. Need For Speed Underground 2 Real Remaster V2.0 Lite
