If you do not have the game installed anymore, you can still download the game from the SBRW launcher. Just follow the instructions from this post below (plus side, when you have the SBRW launcher, you can play online with other people if you use that launcher):
Menus load fine and driver creation and garage are good, but after loading into the world for the first time the game immediately crashes. Game downloaded via SPRW launcher with no alterations made to the download.
READ THIS: I researched a lot on the internet about how to run NFS World offline. Currently I believe that the most updated version of "Soapbox Race Offline Server" is 1.9.3. Any version of Soapbox Offline is difficult to find to download as the links on the official page on a forum are broken. I think the creators are no longer updating it to encourage players to just play the online version. I managed to download versions 1.93 and 1.92 and tested both using NFSW downloaded through SBRW Launcher 2.2.2 (for online mode supported by the community, "nightriderz" is another launcher to play online). In my case the game opens, I can create a profile but when I enter the map to start driving my game closes. Then I realized that the versions of Soapbox that I downloaded did not have the "Server Editor", perhaps it was no longer necessary in these versions but I'm not sure about this.
The only NFSW that I managed to make work offline was a 2017 repack that I found on torrents, search for the name of the game and download the version "build-1613 offline-1.9.0" it is a 2.6GB .exe file (2015-1613 is the last official build). It will install the game and create two shortcuts, one for the Server Editor and the other for Soapbox Offline Server 1.9.0. With this version I can play offline. *Make sure you have the Java component and Node JS installed on your system. ----------------------------------------------------- EDITING: I found a new way to play NFSW offline using the SBRW Launcher (for those who couldn't download the game from another location). Use "Lawin0129 NFS-World-Offline" available at https://github.com/Lawin0129/NFS-World-Offline. Follow the instructions on how to download the game via SBRW Launcher then follow the instructions on "Lawin0129 offline launcher" on github, it works perfectly.
Tip: Keep the offline server open before running SBRW Launcher. After adding the offline server address in SBRW Launcher, close it and open it again so the new server appears in the list. You will not need to register an account with SBRW, just click on Login and then on Play Now. If you are disconnected from the internet, SBRW will open but when you click on Play Now a message will be displayed asking if you want to use the old data found in the folder, say yes and the game will start without a connection. ---------------------------------------------------- Differences between the three offline NFSW versions. Choose Yours:
Torrent Repack: You can customize some of your player's characteristics such as level, amount of money, bonus multipliers, time of day... You can also use power ups during races such as nitro, damage shield... Many icons for events are visible on the map. You will continue to earn money, level up and unlock things with each race you win.
Lawin0129 offline server with SBRW Launcher: You will start with millions in credits that will not decrease, all cars and tuning accessories are open for purchase, all achievements completed. You will not be able to use any power up during races (ai-controlled opponents do). On the map more icons for events are visible. You won't gain anything by winning races because everything in the game will be unlocked.
SBRW Launcher online mode: Hard economy, level zero. You'll start with less money, buy your first car and win races to level up and unlock more stuff. You can use power ups during races. On the map racing icons are available but in different locations as there are special events created by the community. New cars and music from other NFS games are added. --------------------------------------------------- All events are available on the map to be played infinitely but the annoying part is that no indicator is shown about which races you won. I took a screenshot of the game map, printed it out and marked with a pen which events I had already won :D.
Another annoying thing, there is no GPS system indicating the direction of an event (for those who like to drive on the map to the race location) however you can fast travel to any event location.
Apparently in build 1613 there are no police patrols in free roam like in Most Wanted, the police only appear in chase events. --------------------------------------------------- The game menus are very small. It has few graphical options to adjust. I recommend turning off vsync as it locks the game at 50fps.
In the game there is no option to customize the controls. Some joypads that use xinput and recognized in Windows as Xbox Controller will work in the game. To customize your joypad I recommend seeing a list of NFSW keyboard keys and using the free JoyToKey program.
Hi, the server is working and I can play but there are a few things I would like to ask: 1) commands with numbers (e.g. nitro) don't work, can I solve this? 2) if I change the graphics settings on restart I lose them, is there a file to edit to make them permanent? 3) Is there a way to add additional cars?
hey, sorry to bother you, what happened to the offline server version that allowed you to edit the time, map events like christmas mode, your driver persona igc and boost and so on ? also it seems like i cant use powerups but i am not sure if this is because of the server of if my download has been corrupted somehow

I always end up getting the same error. Out of memory... (I got 24gb Ram...) Running Win7.
Game is a hunk of trash anyway. The only thing that had me interested is the carlist and customization.
also it seems like i cant use powerups but i am not sure if this is because of the server of if my download has been corrupted somehow
Restarting launcher, several times, or PC changes nothing needless to say.
