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 ...

The first race (the 2 lap practice run prologue) crash only occurs with the Origin version of Shift 2. The prior EA Store version or the EA DVD version do not have this problem. Some have reported a crash in quick race, and perhaps in some career mode events, but none of the early career mode events. With the EA versions, if you do get a crash at a particular race, the fix is to disconnect your system from the internet (I first read about this at Steam community). Since there have been no updates to Shift 2 in years, the fact that disconnecting from the internet solves the problem would indicate that something changed on the EA/Origin server side, but why a server side change causes a game crash is puzzling.
One known change on the EA/Origin server side, is that Limited Edition content, and/or any promotional stuff like the Dr Pepper Camaro, no longer gets enabled when a player logs in. Unless a player has backed up a save with that content, there's no way to get that content back.
