Credits go to KryZeePlays for the template of the description below, I’ve seen it in his NFS vids. I haven’t fully followed it but yeah, I found a bunch of things from the description of his NFS vids pretty helpful for mine.

• The said Global Car Perf Mod was used by my opponent as well, but unlike me, he didn’t use a save game which has all uniques + glitched ECU & Turbo dyno tuning on all cars from ‘My Cars’. He also wasn’t driving too well, you can watch his record of the same race here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ7MoLXQ1ag (note the vid title/description is in Romanian and he’s also talking in Romanian in his vid)

MP VIA PLAN LAN VID & TEXT TUTORIAL:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FwjzDoJxFw
1. Download and Install pLan: http://zerolan.ru/en/
2. Download and extract the following UG2 exe (US 1.2 version, needed for pLan to work), then get it to your UG2 directory (I already did that and yeah, I have a weird UG2 directory lol. Yours should be C: \ Program Files \ EA Games \ Need for Speed Underground 2): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NuJuZkw-ZcGv0O6BTQa1uylRZz68sUfH/view
3. Set the following exes to be ran as admin by default as seen in the vid. Then go to Control Panel - Windows Defender Firewall - Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall. Click Change Settings, then click Allow another app... Add the following exes as seen in the vid.
4. Change pLan's language as I do in the vid if you don't understand Russian. Also change your pLan name in pLan Settings as seen in the vid, and add UG2 to My Games tab of pLan as shown. Afterwards, connect to pLan's UG2 room as seen in the vid.
5. Launch the game next through pLan (next time you can launch it before pLan as well, maybe even this time but I just wanted to be sure) and you will see the pLan server plus maybe other servers in the LAN section of the Main Menu. Join any of the servers or create yours, and pick a name - Now you can join games in Lobby or create your own as you can see.

The great part about pLan is that you don't have to adjust the filter in Lobby because all created games appear there by default! Not to mention, you don't have to run UG2 through pLan all the time (maybe only the first time), and before launching UG2, nobody has to create a game room which is limited to just 6 players. Considering these facts, it's definitely better than GameRanger.

If you got all this working, the only step you'll have to do from now on is last sentence of 4, and 5!
