notes: "THIS GUIDE REQUIRES YOU TO MANUALLY INSTALL. HAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS READY\
  \ TO BE FOLLOWED.\r\n\r\nPrerequisites\r\nThe game launches extremely slowly. This\
  \ is a known bug affecting all operating systems. Periodically the game files break\
  \ and need verification, this is related to this bug. Specifically a fault with\
  \ the modloader.asi.\r\n\r\nLinux PC\r\nMore than 4GB RAM.\r\nSATA SSD or better.\r\
  \nCPU: At least Intel Core 2 Duo Q9550.\r\nGPU: Needs to have complete Vulkan support\
  \ to open properly.\r\n\r\nLaunch: ~50 seconds on NVME. Up to ~7 minutes on SATA\
  \ SSD.\r\n\r\nSteam Deck\r\nDownload dxvk from discovery and then run sudo flatpak\
  \ update in Konsole.\r\nLaunch: ~1 minute 25 seconds (Steam Deck 256GB).\r\n\r\n\
  Installation\r\nRefrain from launching the game until step 9. Do not launch it until\
  \ then. \r\n\r\nStep 1: Use Lutris and install from this guide.\r\n\r\nStep 2: Download\
  \ wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst (https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/wine-staging/wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst)\r\
  \n\r\nIf you have any problems, such as step 7 not working, look inside: (https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/wine-staging/)\
  \ and try using versions like 10.15-1 (https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/wine-staging/wine-staging-10.15-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst)\r\
  \n\r\nStep 3: Unpack wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst anywhere. You will\
  \ be left with wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg\r\n\r\nStep 4: Copy/Move wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg\
  \ to the following folder:\r\nLutris Flatpak: /home/Your Username/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runers/wine/\r\
  \nLutris installed through Terminal: /home/Your Username/.local/share/lutris\r\n\
  (If you don't see the folders, in file manager: press CTRL+H or right click -> show\
  \ hidden folders)\r\n\r\nStep 5: Enter wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg/usr and copy\
  \ the following folders: bin, include, lib, share.\r\nCopy into wine-staging-10.9-1x86_64.pkg.\
  \ \r\nYour wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg should look like this: bin, include,\
  \ lib, share, usr, .BUILDINFO, .INSTALL, .MTREE, .PKGINFO\r\n\r\nStep 6: In Lutris,\
  \ Right click Need for Speed: World -> Configure -> Runner options -> Wine Version\
  \ = wine-staging-10.12-1-x86_64.pkg and save.\r\n\r\nStep 7: Download X86 and X64\
  \ Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)\
  \ \r\nX86: (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe)\r\nX64: (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe)\r\
  \n\r\nStep 8: Click Need For Speed World. Do not launch it accidentally. \r\nClick\
  \ the Wine Glass icon (near Play button at the bottom) and click run the .EXE with\
  \ prefix.\r\nFind vc_redist.x64.exe & vc_redist.x86.exe one at a time, and install\
  \ both Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables like Windows. You must install Wine\
  \ Mono if prompted. \r\n\r\nStep 9: Launch the game. If you havent installed yet,\
  \ a prompt for Wine Mono will appear. Install it.\r\n\r\nStep 10: Enable Alternative\
  \ Webcalls. \r\nCDN Selector Screen -> [US] DavidCarbon Mirror - Alternative\r\n\
  \r\nStep 11: Install vanilla game files and your chosen server's files like normally.\
  \ \r\n\r\nStep 12: Verify game files and restart launcher/game for certainty. \r\
  \n\r\nSome servers like WUGG may say: Unable to load ModLoader.asi. Error: 998 or\
  \ some other errors. Simply restart the launcher. If it continues, check if you\
  \ accidentally missed X86 or X64 Microsoft Visual C++ installation. Also check if\
  \ you verified game files in settings. That, or this guide is now outdated. \r\n\
  \r\nSteam Deck Controls:\r\n\r\nSteam Deck users due to the program used for analog\
  \ controls, the recommended way to play is in Desktop mode. This program replaces\
  \ desktop controls until it is fully closed, meaning you can lose mouse click. Recommended\
  \ to have mouse and keyboard ready for initial setup.\r\n\r\nStep 1: Download the\
  \ .AppImage\r\nhttps://github.com/kozec/sc-controller/releases/tag/v0.4.10-pre\r\
  \n(Direct link: https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller/releases/download/v0.4.10-pre/sc-controller-0.4.8+5b42308-x86_64.AppImage)\r\
  \n\r\nStep 2: Right click the .AppImage -> Properties -> Permissions -> Allow executing\
  \ file as program. Open the program.\r\n\r\nStep 3: Absolutely ensure you go to\
  \ Menu -> Settings -> Advanced -> Enable Automatically Disable Emulation When Closing\
  \ GUI\r\n\r\nStep 4: Open the .AppImage -> Select the Xbox 360 Controller. This\
  \ covers analog acceleration, braking and steering. You might need to manually configure\
  \ every control.\r\n\r\nSteam Deck Preconfigured Binds:\r\n\r\nDownload NFSW_SteamDeck_1.sccprofile.tar.gz\
  \ and unpack into ~/.config/scc/profiles. Then select the profile in SC Controller.\
