12 years agoNFS Shift 2 crashes
I bought this game via steam a couple of hours ago and it would not open so I ran it through origin and it worked with no problem. After a while of playing it, it would crash before starting a race i...
Now instead of crashing on a couple of tracks it is audio only and black screen. I had to count the clicks and close it by memory because ctrl alt tab wouldn't let me out . Windows buttons failed to release me as well. Now it is completely unplayable Gee thx.
I cannot detect anything else on your dxdiag other than what I already found in my previous post.
If the game is still crashing then prepare an MSINFO report (this contains personal information - do not post it on the forum) and reach out to an EA Advisor - they will be able to see the cause of your game crashes.
Note that it could also be that your GPU is starting to show signs of age.
Don't blame my computer. I run Dragon Age Inquisition and Witcher 3 without a hiccup. Your recommendation made the game UNPLAYABLE instead of just crashing on a few tracks. This game is a lump of *.
The only thing that we really did is update your drivers. I see that you choose to go for the beta ones which could hold problems in itself. Instead, try reverting to the latest non-beta drivers on the page that I linked you.
I tried restoring to the non beta with the same results, black screen of death, sound only. Just to be absolutely clear. I've seen this problem (the black screen) on this exact game before. Let me explain. I bought 2 copies of this game, one for my desktop and one for my brand new laptop so I could race my buddies. Now when I installed it on this (the desktop) it installed and ran flawlessly with the exception of Donington Park speedway which crashes EVERYTIME I try to load it. When I installed it on the BRAND NEW laptop (remember I have 2 hard copy discs of this game) it gave me the black screen of death I am currently experiencing on this computer. On that computer the solution was to create an Origin account and use the CD key to download * an uncorrupted I assume* copy of the game direct from Origin. After I did that the game runs BUT STILL CRASHES ON DONINGTON PARK SPEEDWAY even on the brand new laptop. Now the problem is for some weird reason when I attempt to use my OTHER CD Key for my origin account on THIS computer it now tells me the key has been used even though it didn't do that with the other computer and disc.
Yes I am absolutely certain I am using the correct CD key because they are in two separate rooms.
