Re: Game stops and crashes at 'Most Wanted' cutscenes

Got the last update (4.5GB, wow...)

Thanks very much for the free extra content, which I'm very grateful for (it will extend my patience a little further), but the problem ISN'T actually fixed.

In such a big update I would have expected some changes to the code. Well I DID until I cross-referenced the game version numbers, exactly the same. Sooo, no PC patches in this update. Same game, just with extra content. Oh well, as long as they know about it I guess it'll get fixed sometime.

@hs303 The laggy cinematics were kinda part of the problem, but I guess less crashes is a start. Just keep us updated if it crashes again please.

    curtismj I played the game for 2 days and just kiked me out one time in one MW races, I advanced MW cars 10, 9 and 8. The movies for MW cars are still very laggy, but the rest of the game improved on image and speed; I would say that noticeable while not shocking. I got the 3 pack in one and works woth no problem.

     

    What made this change was: Udating Direct X, updating video drivers to last official version (not beta) and updating punkbuster (look for pbsetup.exe at your system or on internet and run it adding the game, makes no much of a sense but worked for me). The sc reen resoulution is divisible by 4 resulting in complete numbers.

     

    Other issues may be: Amount of free space on hard disk (less than 20% tends to create loading problems) and if you are playing connected to the network or not (now does not matter after I updated, but before made a difference imoroving when not connected). I do not know, but maybe the antivirus/firewall may case some problems, I run with the one included on windows 8 and appears to be fine.

     

    Good luck everyone! Hope it works for something to improve players experience.
