NFS Carbon

how can I play NFS Carbon on Windows 10?

thx

  • @Lunelli_98

    NFS Carbon is an older game that is not designed for Windows 10. We currently don't have a digital version available for the game, and a disc version certainly won't work with Windows 10.

    In some cases, fans create their own patches or tweaks to still get older games running on newer systems. If you are keen on playing the game, then you might want to do a web search to see if any of such fan-made releases are available.

    Does it start and show the Logo of EA AND crash it?

    Or crash it immediately directly?

  • It asked for ADM privileges so I put it and then he opens that window asking for permission, I click yes and nothing happens. I downloaded a no CD .exe and now it works great!

    Are games like NFS Carbon or NFS Most Wanted (2005) ever going to have a digital edition?

    We try our best to add as much old games as possible, but this is not always possible for various reasons; e.g. servers being down, or certain functions in the game no longer working.

    Specific to MW and Carbon, I'm currently not aware of plans to add those.

    Servers for Carbon are still running, but converting a disc based game to a digital download requires removing / replacing the security check code for the disc. It seems unlikely that any of the developers that worked on the older games would still be around and/or available (as a consultant) for EA to make such changes.

    Ou guys should totally do a rework on Underground to Carbon... Just deactivate the online features and give it a go on Origin Steam or GOG.. GOG gets old games run smooth and there are no problems with them.. Just saying... And please get your Origin only games on Steam so im willing to buy them...

    I have the same pop-up message! How did you do this? Looking for a response mroe than a year later.... im hoping for a further explanation my friend

     @Lunelli_98 How do you add admin privileges and dont install with .exe ??

  • @Nexamus93

    Well, this was a while ago but let me tell what I remember. I installed the game using its original .exe but it wouldnt run on windows 10 because of the pop-up asking for adm privilegies. What I did was to search on internet "modified .exe for NFS Carbon for Windows 10". (But remember, there are some bad people in the internet wanting your personal data - so make sure you have an anti virus installed and have a copy of your backed up hdd/ssd in case of something happening). 

    Not sure where I downloaded the .exe (just dont remember) but i am pretty sure i got it from http://www.moddb.com/.

    Wish the best for you and game on!
