What I checked
I stepped through the public start page the way VRacer’s 22 October video does: Play, a wait for the module, then the game’s own menus. The page I read does not offer an EXE. FSXNOOB’s 25 October video calls the first transfer about 2.9 GB. VRacer’s on-screen note says 2.0 GB. The project notes say an optional preload of about 2 GB, roughly 1.4 GB on the wire. I am leaving all three numbers on the page.
The sequence on the public site
Press Play once the module has loaded. The notes say that takes a second or two and that the page shows a problem only when there is one. Sound starts on that click. If the browser blocks audio, a later click or key press turns it on. A controller button does not count for that unlock.
After one successful visit, the page can start a cached copy when the server is unreachable. The start page then says Offline. Free roam and Online still need the server. Saves stay in the browser either way.
Settings worth setting before a long session
These live on the start page and apply the next time you press Play. They are the project’s settings.ini keys, not a separate launcher.
| Group | What you can change | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Game | Language, movies, subtitles, autosave | PLAYING.md |
| Display | Resolution scale, frame cap 30/60/120/240, fullscreen, HUD | PLAYING.md |
| Controller | Rumble, dead zones. Firefox has no rumble. | PLAYING.md |
| Online | Name, free roam, crews, horn, room | PLAYING.md |
Languages the project itself ships
The playing notes list English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Thai, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, and Turkish for menus. Dubbed voices need a language pack on the server: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Russian. Portuguese, Polish, and Turkish are text. This site’s language pages are guides, not those in-game packs. The in-game list was also visible in the project’s main.js during research.
Claims that do not hold
You must download 2 GB before the first race. Preload is optional. Streaming is the default path in PLAYING.md.
Any browser will do. The project names Chrome and Firefox, and the page has to be HTTPS.

Questions
How do I play Underground 2 Revived?
Open nfsu2.xyz, press Play, and wait for the module. Use Chrome or Firefox.
Do I need an EA account?
No. TheGamer and the project both describe the public site as account-free.
Why do videos disagree on the download size?
PLAYING.md says about 2 GB optional preload and about 1.4 GB on the network. VRacer shows 2.0 GB. FSXNOOB says about 2.9 GB. Cache, movies, and the day of the build can change what a creator sees.
Can I play offline?
A cached copy can start when the server is down, if you already preloaded data. Other players will not be there.
Where are the keys?
On the controls page. The start page also lists them under Controls.
