KuruHS just uploaded a new YouTube video with highlights from his recent NFS Underground sessions.
He tries out hotlaps for a bit but spends most of the time in multiplayer races.

He also linked kickStart to show how to play Underground ONLINE, which makes it easy for everyone to join in.
It's great to see KuruHS sharing his streams on YouTube and supporting the community.

Updating:

cleaned up code, removed the old DX9 overlay, better optimization,
and stronger protection against manipulation.
This version is now the minimum required version for future uploads.

Lap Recorder v1.0.2.5

Adds the new Best possible lap feature.
It shows a theoretical best lap based on your fastest segments in the current session.

Activate it in kickStart under Telemetry or toggle it with Alt+F11.
(Works only in Free Run and does not include NOS.)

Includes bugfixes for profile display, HUD alignment, and sector bar behavior.

Make sure to update so uploads and tools continue to run without issues.

One of the biggest racing game streamers and a long time Need for Speed fan, KuruHS,
has announced a community Multiplayer stream in NFS Underground for today.

This is great news for the scene. A streamer of his size brings visibility,
and many viewers will finally see that Underground can still be played online today,
including what tools are needed and how the multiplayer works in 2025.
Streams like this often inspire people to give the game another try or join the online races themselves.
