Re: Shift 2: Unleashed

The screen blinks black (image disappears for a moment) while in race in Need For Speed SHIFT 2 Unleashed. The game works fine (main menu, sound, overall performance are ok) except the blinking. When I bring up menu in race the blinking tends to get more frequent.

Windows 7 64-bit, GeForce 750Ti. 

I was also unable to discover a way to contact EA help via e-mail.

    @VerhoffinUrbans Hi,

    While I am not entirely sure what the cause is for this, it does appear to be related to your current graphic settings. Is there any way you could check and turn  on v-sync? This would ensure that the maximum number of frames displayed does abide by your monitor and hence decrease the workload on your system somewhat. This in turn may help with the screen flashing.

    Cheers,

    Nils

    Hello Nils!

    Thank you for the reply. I tried enabling and disabling v-sync from the game 'Graphics' menu and from nvidia control panel settings for SHIFT 2. The problem persists for any combinations of native and nvidia forced v-sync. I have latest drivers and the only suggestion I come to is trying to install proper Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and DirectX but I'm not sure which versions were actual for the game.
