NFS Shift 2 Crash First Race Fix
Hello everyone! We all know that there is a well known problem for NFS Shift 2 Unleashed. That it crashes on the first race in the game and basically makes you not be able to do anything in the game ...

Hello. Sorry to bump this thread, or whatever happens honestly, I'm not sure how this forum works.
I'm just a wandering Google warrior who was trying to fix Shift 2 crashing...Career, Single Player, any option that loaded a race would crash to desktop. Video driver update/rollback, game client reinstall, all sorts of Steam troubleshooting shenanigans, nothing would budge the crashes.
I came across this post, figured "eh what the hell", installed that version of PhysX and now Shift 2 works fine. Just wanted to give a breath of hope to any future google warriors who come across this post - the PhysX fix works for me at least. Give it a shot.
Note: I had to uninstall the previous (newer) version of PhysX to install this one; it wouldn't allow the install for an older version. So keep that in mind if you play newer games that may not be 100% compatible, you'll either have to put up with the possible performance issues or juggle PhysX installs. Up to you.
glhf and take care.
*edit* I forgot to mention; I tried the "launch offline" thing and the crashing persisted at the same point of loading the race.
