I just got this game today, thanks to ea screwing up with the release of simcity I got this for free. I'm having the same issue the game works no problems until I go to do a most wanted race, I can't even do race 10, it worked the first time I played and since then it crashes everytime. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't resolve it. Was hoping to find a solution but I haven't yet.
Can you try the graphic settings' recommendations available here?
No luck - I have always had Super Sampling set to off.
Super Sampling is off still have this issue. I wonder how was it working before the patch came. I regret that i installed that patch. At that time I thought patch is good it may resolve many issues but it actually created one for me.... :catmad:
I went last night and locked the frame rate at 30, I also disabled vsync I was able to do the most wanted race a few times without it crashing. I think my graphics card sucks which is besides the point, in windows I run 1920x1080 on a 22 inch acer screen, I changed the setting in the game back to the default 1280x768 and the game played much better, I went to switch it back to 1920x1080 and noticed a massive framerate drop, changed it back to 1280x768 and it seemed to be alright as of last night, haven't played today yet.
Well that was nice while it lasted it worked a few more times today and now its right back to black screening and crashing as soon as I hit escape to skip the cutscene, which was working. This game sucks, ea can't do anything right can they. Don't think I'll ever be buying another ea game.
