About mods or "Wrong NFS version or the game has crashed"

The client launches ok and log in works. When I launch Shift, I get the error message as in the pic:



Shift is updated with EA patch #1. No trainers. I do run the following mods:

I completely uninstalled Shift, then reinstalled. Same error.

Have you installed a patch?

You need to delete garbage remained from modifiers.
Each of them has made a lot of garbage.
Most easier reinstall game in empty directory.
But it is possible and to delete garbage manually.

After removing modifiers in the usual way
Come into folder PakFiles and delete all files ended on.zip.bfi, also.bkp

In a folder 24 files and 4 folders should turn out.
Tracks 1 dyrectory and 99 files.
Vehicles 144 files.

There were three extra files in the vehicles dir. All had a .bkp extension. I backed them up to a temp folder and deleted from the vehicle folder.

The client now runs with the orginal WRClientShift.exe and the one you sent via PM. Which one should I use?

Now I need to create some batch files to help backup and restore my Shift mod install save games before and after launching my Shift no-mod WRClient install.

A nice application! Good job! Thank You for all your help!

Now just need it to recognize my joystick.

you can create 2 directories
1) Clean NFS
2) With mods

and use WR Client from site ,
PM - not full

removed three *.bkp files from vehicle directory (these files were a default install by Shift)

WRClient now works. Thanks for all your help, Infel8!

---------------------------

For others using mods that also want to use WRClient, list of steps taken:

Backed up all save game profiles.

Uninstalled Shift, reinstalled Shift, applied patch #1.

Copied complete Shift reinstall to new directory.

Deleted three *.bkp files from Vehicle directory in Shift copy.
(note: *.bkp files are default install by Shift, not added by me)

WrClient now works correctly when clean (no mods) Shift copy is launched.

Added mods back to original Shift install.

Warning: Save games from Shift for WRclient copy will save to the same default location used for the Shift with mods copy.
If same profile name is used in both copies, be sure to make backups of Shift with mods save games and place the save game
profile used for Shift for WRclient copy into the default save game directory prior to launching Shift for WRclient copy.
