Hey guys.Im new here but im experiencing some probs.so here's the deal...

The game installed and run fine for the first time so i go to the options screen to to change the video settings.And here start the problems,whenever i change any of the graphics settings,my sound freezes and on the the next or any loading screen,my comp locks up and i have to reboot.That happens whether i change the settings during the game or in the main menu.I wonder if anyone has noticed something similar or if you know of a solution.

Updated graphics driver all the way to 93.71 from 91.47 to no avail.

My specs:
Amd athlon 64 3200+
6800 ultra 256 mb
soundblaster audigy 2 zs
1300 mb ram 400
m/b abit kv8-max 3

Chalk down another person having the random crashes issue. So far I cannot tell why it's doing it, because it is doing it at different stages in the game, almost never the same part. Just now it crashed after trying to enter a race. The time before it crashed when I simply highlighted a race on the World map to get details on it. The time before it crsahed when I was autosculpting. A huge pain in the ass that was.

This needs to be looked into.

Not sure if my card is compatible, have not found much info

Post by chulo212 »

I have a Nvidia GEforce4 440 32M card. I can play the game but its all white and grey. I would adjust the games resolution and graphics from the menu but the problem is I cant see the options menu. I dunno if there is anything I can do or if Im hooped! Let me know anything I can do besides replace gfx card thanks!

I just discovered the reason for the random crashes.In order to avoid them u gotta have an Athlon FX-876539843 , wich runs @ 78,9Thz , 80 PB RAM and u also have to remove the heatsink and fan of the cpu.Oh and u MUST NOT have an HDD or Speakers and use a trackball mouse...

Did i mention the ISA graphics card?....

what's the clock speed of Athlon 1800+???
system requirement said you need a 1.7Ghz processor.
I think FX5200 is OK, can run with some low and med setting I guess.

@ EVO_VIII
it's 1.53 GHz. It doesn't matter for me if the game runs in low setting, but it should run smooth to play

It'll run but you'll need to turn EVERYTHING to the lowest. That CPU is really dated the graphics card isn't that great, so don't expect much.

I used to have the FX5200 but now have a Radeon X800XT. I don't think it was a great card to be honest and struggled with most new games. I have a significantly greater gaming experience now than i did before. I would imagine it would struggle badly with NFSC.

I have finished career two days ago. Today i wanted to play. So I turned on a game and it says that my career is 0% finished. Money, cars, parts are unlocked, but all of the tracks are not finished. So I started a new alias and finished first track. It said 1%. Then I turned off and turned on the game and again it said 0%. I reinstalled the game but it's the same. What to do? Sorry for bad english. :oops:

Hi, I wanted to ask for help to.... I am having issues with the video sequences that represent the story: they are very choppy and the sound doesn't fit with the videos.... Even though I had increased the page file size like it has been said in the readme file but I still have no success: it's still choppy.... Maybe somebody knows how to fix this? I would be very thankful

Here they are: AMD 1.6Ghz, Geforce 6600, 512MB ram.... Of courese it looks like that my computer shouldn's even run this game but I run F.E.A.R. in medium specs easily and the gameplay on high specs in this game isn't so bad... Just those darn cutscenes... I had the same problem with NFS MW and this really drives me crazy because it really takes me out of the experience

The CPU is not very good but the rest is alright.
Do the following:
Defragment your Dard Drive
Update your Video Drivers
Set the game GFX lower
And in the control panel of your video card set the slider to Performance
Here is an example of an ATi card:

I have 3.4 GHz Pentium 4, 1 Gb RAM, GeForce FX5600. I finished the game without problems until this happened.
