The PLAZA release of NFS: Most Wanted Limited Edition is functional but dated. It unlocks all DLC vehicles and disables Origin. However, on Windows 10/11, expect launch failures unless you apply a compatibility patch (Windows 7 mode + admin + disable fullscreen optimizations). Autolog is dead in the crack. For a better experience, use the legitimate version with community fixes or a later repack that includes the 1.5 update and proper 64-bit compatibility fixes.
