Configuration
According to the official ReadMe documentation, the following ports are used by the game:
- TCP 80, 8511, 28900
- UDP 1230, 8512, 27900, 61220 through 61230
There are three editable files inside the game's save data folder (usually Documents/EA Games/Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, but can be changed with the widescreen fix):
banlist.txt (possibly referring to bootlist.txt?)
This records the identities of players who you have banned. It adds one line for each player you ban. To un-ban a player, simply edit this file and remove the corresponding line.
netprefs.ini
Users can modify the netprefs.ini file to specify custom ports for the game servers. If this file is deleted it will be recreated with default settings.
server.ini
Various game options for a hosted server can be configured here.
