Re: NFS: Undercover constantly crashing.

I am having the same issue. Game loads, I select my profile and then it freezes. I have reported this issue to EA help desk but they are not aware if it. Is there anyone that can help?

    I solved the crashing issue or rather found a way to bypass it. I remembered The Saboteur crashed at launch with more than 4 cores and that what someone did was patch the exe to remove the CPU check. That seems to be the same thing happening here but within the loading screen. To bypass this issue for now go to the start menu and type in MSCONFIG.EXE and a System Configuration window should appear go to the second tab called boot and select advanced options. Then you should see Number of Processors. Check that box and select 8 (If this does not work try again with 4) and restart and try launching it. It worked for me! To reverse the changes follow all the above apart from when you get to number of processors uncheck the box and restart or else you won't get your full computers performance. It is just badly programmed. Hopefully EA sees this and fixes the EXE of the Saboteur with the fix created jackfuste from WSGF and also fixes the problem for Undercover!

    @reece394 Thanks man! I tried here and it works! But EA must see this. It's unacceptable for them sell a game that doesn't works properly in newer CPUs.
  • Steam version seems to work better acc. to the forums and reviews. Currently on sale there for $2.49.
