Re: Does Shift 2: Unleashed work better on Windows 10?

@banzaigtv @tocsik87 @lbh_9506

The game wasn't designed for Windows 10, but most games that run fine on Windows 7 should also work on Windows 10.

Couple of things to take into account:

  • If you performed an upgrade to Windows 10 as opposed to a clean installation then you will need to uninstall and reinstall Origin, Need for Speed and your graphics driver
  • Try running the game in compatibility mode
  • Try running your system in a clean boot to see if background programs are causing conflicts

If the issue persists you could also reply to this thread with a dxdiag so that I can have a further look at your system. Do take into account that I cannot guarantee that Shift 2 will run flawlessly on W10 but it is definitely worth taking a look at.

    Yes, the game crashes on Windows 10. I have found that it works better by running a program that came with my Asus GTX 960 called Tweak GPU. In it is a program called game booster which selects the best appearance for games, Turns off Windows services and defrags system memory.
