Official NFSC Performance\Bug\Error Issues Thread.
Official NFSC Performance\Bug\Error Issues Thread.
Aight seems like alot of topics come out about errors\unability to run a game. So lets put em all in one thread. Thread is for both demo and full version. All platfroms ofc.
First of all most common problems:
- Black screen and crash\White textures\Errors on startup.
* check video card driver version.
* check if your system meets req`s.
* check other hardware drivers or maybe its your antivirus messing things up.
- Laptop VGA doesnt work.
* check if you got supported chipset and memory amount.
* EA did warn that small versions of supported GPU`s might work and might not work.
All questions about 'will i run game?' also go here as well.

corvy try turning autosave off, maybe something wrong with it, at least it wont crash.
and prelude, you might trying to see in the task manager if setup keeps running after that window appears, should be named setup.exe or nfscsetup.exe or something like that. If you do see such process there, then just wait. If not then thats possibly something with CD maybe?

I'm constantly getting CTD's after Loading screens, and I'm using one of the latest drivers, 91.47 or something. It doesn't happen always, but very frequently after finishing an online game and pressing Enter to return to the lobby.
I don't use pwned. I use BSODed. It's less cool and harder to say. I know.

I had that problem also. What fixed it for me (I am using Vista) was to run it as an admin and give it all permissions. Still takes a good 20 seconds to return to Windows it is better than the 5+ minutes (yes, minutes) it was taking before.

MX440 is only AGP or PCI, so the 7900 is out of the question because, as far as I'm aware, you can't get a 7900 in AGP (definitely not in PCI) ...DeMyX wrote:You need to buy a new gfx card.
Since your already getting a new gfx card I recommend higher than X1600 or Nvidia 7900.
Just so it lasts for a while.
For AGP, you can find a few 7600GTs, 7800GSs, or X1650 Pros ... I'd get the 7600GT if you can find one ...
Ridiculous. the game has crashed over 2 dozen times now for no reason. after the very first crash i turned off autosave and it still does it.
the most frequent crashes are right after a race, especially if i won something (bitter ai?) or right before the race starts and im revving my engine. thanks for making me a beta tester EA.

horrible keyboard response possible due to bad graphic performance on my reasonably good computer.
AMD 3800+ Dual Core
XFX Nvidia 7800GT Stock O/C
DFI LanParty UT NForce4 Expert
Soundblaster Audigy
74Gb Segate Raptor
Windows XP
Seems as though Shader Detail set on High creates the worst lag, but also when there are plenty of cars about, the keyboard controls are so laggy that the lag causes me to crash quite often during the start of a race, since I'll hit the left button to steer left, then it responds 3-4 seconds later!

I've managed to get over the crashing and 5 minutes of wait before quitting. It seems to be all about NFSC's online part on the PC. I've disabled any web access from NFSC and now that the game cannot connect to EA Nation, I've never had a crash and the game quits instantly.
Oh, and that fix also means no multiplayer at all. But on my 768/192 connection multiplayer wasn't fun at all anyway, there was huge lag even when I was racing with just one opponent. When it was more than one, they would all disappear and I'd have to wait for their times after the race. Cooooool... not.

When it loads, like that lil window with two car driftin' thingy, it's still ok till it goes black and restarts pc...
Game: NFSC Collector's Edition
PC:
Processor: Pentium D 3.0 Ghz (Pass)
Memory: Hard Drive 250 GB (Pass)
Optical Drive: DVD/CD Writer Lightscribe (Pass)
Video Card: Radeon X1300 (Pass)
And others also passed...
Those are the major things and they come in stock parts in my computer, so mostly they won't crash, I've also checked that they all have new drivers... And I just rebooted my pc recently so it has no viruses... Any help?
If yea, would you mind e-mailing me instead? cuz i don't go on this forum commonly... Pretty Pweeze!

well i found something quite startling...i decided to go ahead and run NVTemplogger while playing. it records the temperature in increments of 5-6 seconds. i'll make it easy on you and do every 2 minutes. fyi, CT is core temperature for the gpu, AT is ambient temperature of the case:
start
15:11:33 | CT : 63 C AT : 48 C
15:13:00 | CT : 63 C AT : 48 C
15:15:04 | CT : 63 C AT : 48 C
15:17:06 | CT : 63 C AT : 48 C
15:19:01 | CT : 60 C AT : 45 C
15:21:02 | CT : 57 C AT : 42 C (note that this is while im messing around with the settings and vinyls)
15:23:02 | CT : 68 C AT : 44 C (spike! im playing now!)
15:25:07 | CT : 76 C AT : 51 C
15:27:02 | CT : 78 C AT : 54 C (not good)
15:29:02 | CT : 78 C AT : 54 C
15:31:05 | CT : 76 C AT : 54 C
15:33:21 | CT : 81 C AT : 55 C (81°c = 178°f)
15:35:05 | CT : 79 C AT : 55 C
15:35:36 | CT : 79 C AT : 55 C (crashed to desktop)
wondering what my current temps are right now? 10 minutes after CTD:
15:46:59 | CT : 55 C AT : 39 C (77° F difference on the core)
and i just noticed my side window fan in my case is not running. get NVtemplogger and check your temperatures!!!
