OS: Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO @ 1.6 GHz

Problem #1. Need for Speed Shift freezes randomly every x seconds.
Solution #1: (posted by dashadowpl) If you have Bitdefender installed, disable or uninstall it completely. It is known to cause Need for Speed Shift to freeze at random intervals.
Solution #2: Disable your internet firewall or add EA Nation and Need for Speed Shift to the list of exceptions. EA Nation can trigger false positives from your Firewall and can cause the game to freeze because EA Nation’s connection gets interrupted.
Solution #3 : (posted by kevlahnota ) Graphic Corruption usually occurs when using incompatible drivers or overheating issues. Update Your Video Card Drivers may fix the problem. Another common fixes are lower your resolution and turn off all eye candy in the game like motion blur, etc. and set all settings to low. If it runs fine then you may increase your setting gradually and find your optimal settings. Make sure to check also your controller/gamepad drivers if you have any, it might be conflicting on the game.
Problem #2. Need for Speed Shift Graphics is corrupted / Need for Speed Shift textures are corrupted / Artifacting
Solution #1: Make sure that you are not running the game with an overclocked video card
Solution #2: Make sure that your video card is not overheating.
Problem #3. Triangles,colored bars appear or random flashing (especially on tracks), most notably when Need for Speed Shift switches from menu to the actual game.
Solution : See solution posted for #2
Problem #4. NFS Shift crashes on ATI cards
Solution #1 : Install the Catalyst 9.9 drivers for ATi
Solution #2: (as posted by cem_ea_id)
Problem #5. NFS Shift crashes on the first test lap
Solution : (as posted by pangwi on the NFS forums)
Problem #6. Need for speed shift runs slow on Ati Cards
Solution : Follow the steps outlined in Step #5 of this NFS Shift fix guide
Problem #6. Game loads screen and gets to the driver safety page and this error message pops out : “shift.exe has encountered a problem”
Solution :as posted by Marrs
Problem #7. Need for speed Shift Stuttering audio / cracking audio / no sound problem
Solution : Turn down/off Directsound Acceleration.
Problem #9. Black screen problem Need for speed shift startup
Solution #1 : Try running NFS Shift on windows 98 compatibility mode, this should make the game work. If you feel like you’ve lost some frames/sec with this method then try to update your graphics card drivers and if that doesnt boost the game performance, post your system specs on the comment box below along with w/e drivers or service packs your OS is using to run the game.
Solution #2 : use the anti-Blackscreen NFS Shift config file and methods here http://filenetworks.blogspot.com/2009/09/updated-fix-for-nfs-shift-black-screen.html

I am having a different problem. When I select Career mode there is a movie that play that cannot be skipped and I believe there is the test lap after that movie. However, for me, the movie keeps playing over and over again, it does not take me to the test lap.
Screen goes black but i can hear the menu music playing in the background. has this been addressed?
It happens to me, after the cinematics, starts the test drive or something like that, and the screen goes black, i hear music, the fx of the car, the rest of the sound, in fact, also y see the map, but the screen is black.
I have Athlon X2 5600

in my laptop with OS : win7 x64,
i ve problem of using my mouse and gamepad(joystick).
its like the problem is with usb ports.
and i saw that it s not only me.
there are dozen of people in ea forum with same problems.
I have the black screen problem in the demo, but randomly, sometimes after choosing the language, sometimes after the intro video, sometimes after finishing a race when I click on continue and sometimes quiting the game :S I can move the mouse, but I can’t open the task monitor to end the program and I have to reset my computer
I have the last drivers for my video card the last version of directx and PhysX
I dont have bitdefender installed and the game is already at the list of exceptions of my firewall.

Regards
Thanks for all this useful info.
I have two problems, first there’s no sound, at all, but the weird thing is that there used to be sound, but after a PC boot it just went off. So, how do I turn off the Directsound Acceleration for the game? there is no option for that on the menu.
And my second problem is with my gamepad, is just doesn’t work, and same as sound, it used to. It’s quite a generic one, and generic enough to work with almost any game. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

I’m having the same problem with Patrick. And I figured there’s a solution that have written above, which is :
a) remove graphicsconfig.xml from my NFS SHIFT directory
b) start the game and reconfigure the graphics
c) quit and restart the game again
But I can’t find the “graphicsconfig.xml”. Could anyone help me please. Thx

Solution #2: Make sure that your video card is not overheating.
Problem #3. …….
Solution : See solution posted for #2
Even With an underclocked or Super Cooled Video Card it shows
Graphical Corruption into tracks, Confirmed into NFS forums
I think this is a Catalyst Drivers Problem, because I have same Problems with a japanese game released into September 2009, So this Graphical Corruption is ATI Fault
And is just Because NFS Shift and that Japanese Game have been Maked for NVIDIA Cards, and Ignored and Not tested for ATI Cards, Specialy HD4850+ Cards
We Need ATI Catalyst v 10.0 NOW……
I have this problem, everything runs fine for the testlap, then i get to choose a car, i buy the car, choose a track, finish that, and after that, while saving, my computer reboots, and then, when i start the game, the savefile is either corrupt, or is at the very beggining. i didn’t have this problem before, but i did have a different problem, it would give an error just as soon as the race would start, but i fixed that. i tried reinstalling it, tried using different versions even. can anyone help?

Hey Guys,
There seems to be heaps of problems with the ATI Cards.
Here are my specs:
HP Pavillion dv5-1209ax
2.1 GHz AMD Athlon x2 Processor
4GB Ram
ATI HD 3650 (512 Dedicated Graphics)
Windows 7 Professional (x32 Version)
I can run the game on Windows 98/ME Compability Mode but the frame rate is horrible for parts of the game. The patch EA brought out is horrible. It has nothing to do with fixing the frame rate. Also upgraded to ATI Catalyst 9.9
Does running as administator really work??

I got the game today, already went back for a replacement. but the game seems to freeze in the same places e.g. while loading certain races. it’s extremly annoyin. what can i do?
When I put in the cd, the autorun wont come up all the time. When the autorun does come up, I click install and it freezes at the preparing to install screen for about 5 minutes and then it says that windows cannot read the cd.
during a race the screen goes black for 6 seconds or so then comes back. but when it comes back it put the game in a window. it seems that if you move the mouse during the race,like when your on a straight away, it helps. I use the xbox controler.
i had serious problem with my NFS shift…..im install correctly….and then im copy the content from crack file that is rld,rld.dll and shift.exe to the NFS shift directory file that is D:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need for Speed SHIFT…….and then went im play the game…..it runs ok at first but…at the message of *if you wanna race then blablablabla…weir seatbelt blalalal* it get stuck and my computer restart ! i dont know what to do…..im playing again and then te same problem occurs…can somebody help me ?
I have a very different problem, after the intro movie (cannot be skipped), as soon as the first lap is LOADING, the game crashes.
I get the following error –shift.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The game crashed on me for several times; sometimes in the middle of the race, it’s kinda frustrating.
But I found a possible fix for those experiencing multiple game crashes.
Try setting your sample rate to “16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)”.
Go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Speakers / Headphones -> Advanced, under Default Format.
I previously set it to “24 bit, 96000 Hz (Studio Quality)” and it causes the game to crash frequently.

Hello everybody,
I am losing my mind with this game. I have been playing during several days and I have had next troubles:
1. Racing in spanfrancorchamps everything seems to be ok and when finish the race screen freezes or goes black and i have to restart.
2. Racing in London rivers after first lap black squares appears on the screen I can not see the road so I crash with another driver and the game restart my PC or freezes or goes black.
I have restarted new story two times and I have left both spafrancorchamps and London rivers races for other time. On these stories I have reached a 24 level pilot and I have unlocked 1,2,3,4 and NFS World Tour levels, well, I decide play any troublesome races and in the middle of the race or finishing them sreen goes black, restart the game and when I try to load my profile appears a window saying unable to load the profile, oh my holy·$·”"$%&/%&&%·$%$& &$&%$&%$!!!!!
My spcs are:
Windows XP SP3
AMD Phenom 9950 Quad-Core 2.6
2 Gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4350 512 MB
HD 300 Gb.
I hope someone can help me.
Have a great weekend.
found another work around to the crash at test lap problem – download a save game, any one will do – from google, and copy paste it to your user, load the game up with their user account, and it will run fine. its because the EA online thing dosnt load up, and crashes the game, so the user account usually makes it work.
one problem i got, is that after 5 or so minutes of playing my fps will drop to like 10.
Im running a laptop with a ATI Radeon 3850, 4gb of ram, intel core2duo 2.56ghz.
thanks
NFS Shift keeps freezing on loading screens (patch 1.1). it does it randomly. sometimes im able to do 2-5 races in row before it freezes (either loading into menu or loading into race), but sometimes it freezes right after i launch it and try to enter race and sometimes it happens many times in row when terminate the process and relaunch it and try to enter race.
fix ? .. waiting for those incompetent EA developers to release new patch.
Frankly guys, if EA doesn’t come up with a fix for ALL PC users, this game is going to the trash.
Graphics Corruption, Audio Crash, even Controller issues, this game has it all.
Bad release from EA.
Is EA trying to kill pc gaming in favor for consoles?
I’ve a similar crash problem, I played the game for several hours after firs install using my Thrustmaster RGT Pro Clutch, and it was fine, if a little unresponsive compared to GTRe. I then thought I’d try my Logitech Dual Analog gamepad, it crashed as soon as I got into the cockpit, so I tried my wheel again, it now crashes within 60 seconds of the start every time. I’ve reinsalled, updated drivers, started new career, the lot. My nest attempt will be to system restore to before installing, and the keep my wheel plugged into the same USB port, as it may be that…
EA have now joined Atari on my big list of wankers…
after starting the test lap, as soon as i see ‘go’ or if i press any key i get the error message ’shift.exe’ encountered a problem and needs to close
Well i was so excited about Need for speed Shift. I have got the demo now but after installing the when i click on play icon firstly it shows select the language and then before playing the movie of game the COMPUTER GETS RESTART. It happens again and again in every try.
I have….!
2gb ram
160 hard disk
Intel Quad core
direct x 9
Now please tell me what would be the problem?
Game is fixed, for the time being.
Graphics/Audio drivers updated.
Edited the graphicsconfig.xml with notepad.
[My Documents -> NFS Shift]
Make a backup copy of it.
Changed:
width=”1024″
height=”768″
antialias=”0″
windowed=”0″
effectsdetaillevel=”1″
This way, the game runs at 1024*768 res., but fullscreen.
Set “Shift.exe” to compatibility mode for “Windows98/ME”.
Run the game, go to Options -> Graphics. Set:
V-Sync -> ON
Texture Filtering -> Bilinear
Shadow -> Off [Thats sad, but it works]
Texture Detail -> High
Turn almost all to Off or Low
-> Don’t Change Resolution in Options menu.
Use the Mouse/Keyboard for car control.
Race through your career/quick race.
If works well without crashing, change the graphics options for much more details, but one setting at a time.
Try another career race/quick race to test.
Can change the controls to use gamepad/wheel afterwards.
For my system, sadly the shadow detail was the problem.
All settings are now to medium/high, except shadow.
Using also a custom gamepad.
Game hasn’t crashed since then.
-> IF you don’t need EA Nation Online, disable it.
[Options -> Online -> AutoLogin - OFF].
I disabled it because I don’t use it, and it annoys me every time the game starts.
Also allow your Firewall, full acess to Shift.exe.
[Control Panel -> Windows Firewall]
Reached Tier2 and all cars are playable through quick race without crashes.
Hope this tip will help others out there.
Happy speeding…
in drift race with music o% (mute) no engine sound too. Sorry my bad english.

I’ve core2duo 2.00GHz, and 965RY motherboard inbuilt 384MB graphic memory.. when i start nfs shift it showing me choose language list,i select english and press enter, pc get restarted. Plz help me out. Thanks in advance.
Guys, please try the solutions given above first. Check your system requirements if they meet the game. Update your graphic drivers, reset your graphics settings to default, and launch the game with lowest settings. If that doesn’t work, just too bad.
I broke my NFS SHI*T DVD in three parts, and is in the bin. Lame game for its tuning part. Play GRID [nfs shift somewhat resembles grid??], wait for DiRT2.
I removed it because I get eyes pain when trying to race from cockpit view, it shakes too much, low track visibility, map view is too transparent, and controls are somewhat lagging everywhere.
Get over it.
NFS SHI*T – am shifting away…
Game crashes after intro video , been reading its got something to do with video card drivers ,but i have
Required You Have
Video RAM 256 MB 1.7 GB
Hardware T&L Yes Yes

aftermath.89@hotmail.com
I´ve buyed it and installed it on my Laptop. Nearly everything works fine. Nearly? Yes!
As I used the default graphic settings, the game isn´t running very fluent. I do have enough frames, but the speed the game is running at, is randomly increasing or decreasing.
If you have similar problems, or maybe a solution for this, please post it here.
I am using it on an Acer Aspire 8930 Notebook with a 9700M GT. The demo version was running fine, without any problem and high graphical setings.

damn, it too weak pc but it can run everygame include GTa iv, re5, prototype with good settings
don’t underestimate my pc
Hi for all those who are working with a notebook and therefore have a mobile-graphics chipset, please read the system-requirements. There is something written like: “The game supports ATI Radeon X1800 and nVidia Geforce 9700 GT or higher. The game might can run with the Notebook-Version of those chips, but they are not supported.”
They may build a patch in the upcoming weeks or month to fix that, but if the market of shift-playing notenook-users does not grow, they will not do it I think.
Cheerio, MC.
Hello,
When i start the game, i see the intero video.
After this the games asks to enter, but my enter key doesn’t work anymore.
So i get stuck on this view.
I had the same problem with my labtop with nfs underground.
But then it was possible to use the mouse.
I have vista as OS.
Can some1 help me with this problem?
gr and thx
hey guys , i mentioned in my first post that the Intel driver needed to be updated and i did it , but still the game crashes after the intro video and been reading a lot about it many pple having this problem and the word is out that this game sucks for it has lots of errors , i dont know .
i hope they patch thi error soon cuz im so pationate about playin the game …….
In order to fix the career intro movie loop, simply go to the movies folder(Electronic Arts/Need For Speed: SHIFT/Movies) and rename the movie Career_Intro.bik to Career_Intro_1.bik and it should smoothly direct you to the test lap, straight past the movie. Good Luck and Happy Racing.
quoting Sam: “I am having a different problem. When I select Career mode there is a movie that play that cannot be skipped and I believe there is the test lap after that movie. However, for me, the movie keeps playing over and over again, it does not take me to the test lap.”
I’ve the exact same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
mine is xps1530,4Gb RAM,intel core2Duo@2.4GHz,256MB NVDIA 8600GT,i upgraded my OS from vista home premium to Windows7.NFS-shift crashes on start-up,it shows NFS-Shift has stopped working.what should i do?
What the fuck is with this game? What fucking retard designed it so you can’t QUIT the fucking game? There is absolutely no option to quit…oh, there’s options, and hitting ESC pauses the game and gets you those options, but there is absolutely no way to quit the game without CTRL-Alt-DEL. And why the fuck MUST this piece of shit access the internet???? I DO NOT want it to access the fucking internet, so why does it not work without it? Stupid fucking assholes…
hi guys,
am facing the prob #1 and i’ve tried every thing no use
1- removed the bitdefender >>> no use
2- decreased the resolution ( to the limit which allow me 2 play full screen ) >>>>no use
3- increased my virtual memory >>> no use
p.s my laptop Graphic card is geoforce 8400 + 3Gb + intel centrino core 2 due 2.0 ghz
can any body plzzzZzZzZ TELL ME what’s wrong or what i can do ?
i have tried using two different keyboards and nfs shift does not work with any of them. how can i fix this
Game play is notchy and slow when I use Logitech dual action game pad. Looks like graphics being overloaded. If i unplug gamepad and just use keyboard, game works fine at max resolution.
Also if I reduce resolution to half gamepad starts to work ok.
Have got the latest drivers and tried reinstalling the game.
Is there a problem with using Logitech dual action gamepad or is it just me?
Hi, i installed the game and all but when i click on the shift.exe. Nothing happens. I have tried all that i can. I heard this game can’t work on a Build 7100 can any1 confirm? My specs are definitely ok to play this game and that i am using windows 7 rc 1 build 7100, is that the reason
Sciller my friend im not sure if your fix addresses the crash after the safety prompt problem but i tried it anyways and the game is still crashing before going to any career or test lap video !!!!
waiting to here from any EA moderators…..
@Seeker
I can confirm that Shift will start up until the test lap in Win 7 Rc 1 Build 7100 but upon load the tesp lap Game will Lock up I needed to Ctrl alt del out and it has the game crashed error.
Some of the EA Staff know about these issues they simply will not do anything about it at this stage guys maybe if management let them work on shift some more it might happen in next patch until then there is nothing that can see that can fix these issues for good until *Decompiling takes place*
Just bought the game. Was looking forwared to playing it. But, Like so many others I discovered that while loading the test lap/map? it crashes. No explanation , Nothing.
Now I’m running vista 64bit and have encountered this kind of problem before and mostly it boils down to the game or somepart of it not liking working with/on 64bit systems(guestimation).
Some people have reported that it’s the max ram which kills the program.
So looks like this is the 5th game I’ve bought this year that hates 64bit( So it seems).
I’m fairly sure it’s not my hardware at fault, apart from the max mem thing.
If I’m wrong about the 64bit thing then let me know.
Bought 5 games this month an 4 have been real let downs and then this game just fails to live up to itself.
What should we expect from a console game.
things were better off when pc’s were first and consoles second.

My Shift crashed at the ’safety warning’ screen. I contacted EA support. 8 days later, I got this, I quote –
“I understand your problem and I would like to inform you that there are many problem for windows vista 64 bit with some of the EA Games. I request you to please try the game running in vista 32 bit in its compatibility mode. Then you may be able to run the game better.”
That’s it, it would appear that I have the wrong operating system !!! How long has 64bit computing been around?
why NFS shift crash on test lap ?
my specfication is
core 2 duo 2.93
Asus p5kpl-am

Nvidia 8400Gs 512mb

Any help will definely be appreciated
I hav installed nfs shift.when i m going to start it is saying wrong disc inserted. Asks to insert an original CD/DVD.
can anyone help me??
Solution found! i have found out why my keyboard did not work at all for the game and this may help others too. If you have a program that allows you to block block certain registry actions such as comodo security suite and you have blocked an action the game tries to do with hook.dll, it would describe this action as possibly being like a keylogger(which it is not). i originally blocked this action but when i set it to allow and now my keyboard works just fine.

I crash on the testlap, Have an AVI 3600 series.
My laptop can run the game. (Vista 32, AMD Turion X2)You can check if your system works at http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/ btw. Anyhow:
Compatible 98 does not work : does not start at all
Tried Catalyst 9.9 and even 10.0 Beta version: crash
Removed graphicsconfig.xml (was in my documents folder) : Crash
Looked for Physx, but that is just for Nvidia cards
Took all my video settings down and low in game : crash
Downloaded the latest DirectX from MS : Crash
Wat is left is dl a Save game from somewhere, but do not like the idea and put it in my sav folder. (does that really work?)
Some wrote rename your SHIFT.exe in Grid.exe to improve your FPS. Does that really work?
What am I missing?
the first time i played this game my computer crashed, not due to the game, but now when i try to launch it the disk became corrupted and unreadable, is there any way of fixing this problem. I have tried the chkdsk but that doesn’t do much either
I have install Need For Speed Shift 5 times… I have installed it from CD another time i downloaded it…. I have all required thing that Need For Speed Shift asked for…. But still not working… It is giving the error that
“Failed to initialize the emulator”
Why it is giving this error kindly tell me so i can fix it and play it……….. Thank You
hi there i did same procedure as to revoke the black screen at startup, i jus replaced the graphicsconfig.xml and even change compatabilty. still it goes to windows error and debugs.
my pc config is
//OS WINDOWS XP SP2 // NVIDIA 190.50_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql DRIVER
//HARDWARE
AMD X2 2.8 GHZ DUAL CORE
ASUS CROSSHAIR 590 SLI
NVIDIA 8600GT XFX DUAL GRAPHICS CARD (256 x256)
5GB RAM
Why don’t they just stick with police chases and stuff? Sure they don’t make as much money, but they can’t be making as much money with all these issues that need to be fixed.
My laptop specs are:
1gb ddr2
intel centrino 2.0ghz
geforce 6800 go 256mb
160gb hard drive
The intro videos repeat several times, and everything runs smoothly until I get to test drive then its all choppy. I canged the graphics to low, and vsync I turned off. I don’t know what else to try.
If I need to upgrade a part what would need to be upgraded? Thanks in advance.

All drivers are up to date.
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7950GT, CORE2 6600 2.4, on windows seven 64-bits, I also have the latest drives.
everytime I launch de game, it enters and I chose the languange and it apears the warning that you should use seatbelt and helmet, after that the game goes out, “nfs shift stopped working”, I have an original NFS Shift, can anybody help me?!
Hello guys.

Hi, when i click the nfs shift exe file, the microsoft error box comes out. I used the reloaded crack why?

my pc amd x2 6000+ asus board ati radeon x1550 game not:(
Very dissapointed. Purchased a game and expected it to work on a brand new pc.
Very, very disappointed EA. I shouldn’t have to stuff around like this.

Hi, when i started the game its only appear first screen (need for speed shift ) after that loading only black screen appear and that game do not responding no more, i can’t close it, i use task manager to close it :S, i re-installed 10 times, still the same problem any idea!!
hi everyone,
@persons w/ repeating video intro problem:
just lower your video card config, and usually, IT IS NOT THE IN GAME CONFIG BUT THE CATALYST/CONTROL PANEL CONFIG of your graphics card, try ENABLING some graphics features(anti-aliasing for example) or better to enable the “let the app decide” option on your vid cards.
@persons w/ black screen problem:
first, be sure that your pc meet the minimum requirements, especially the vid card requirement. vid card requirement does not only point to the total dedicated ram memory it has, but also its features, like its chip clock speed, memory clock speed, pixel shader version(most important to hi-end games, w/0 the right required version, YOUR PC WILL NOT RENDER 3D GRAPHICS), and so on. the most probable cause of a black screen is that your vid card does not have the required pixel shader for the game(for NFS shift, it must be pixel shader 3.0).
if there’s something wrong to what i said id gladly be corrected so please say so.
hope this helps a lot XDD
hi
i just bought a new PC for myself
it has the game requirements fulfilled to run nfs shift
but still the game keeps flickering….it runs smoothly till the intro video is loaded but starts to flicker as i start to race in any mode
PC Specs.
Intel Core 2 Duo T7400@ 2.80GHz
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 500GB
Vista ultimate
Graphics card: NvidiaGeForce 9400GT—1GB
My software engineer made my ‘C’ drive 25 GB & the rest of the drives are 100 GB or above
can this be the problem coz i dont know if the game needs more space on the C drive…it has 7-8 GB left after installing the game
please help me
i really am a big fan of NFS series & really want to play this game
please help me & tell me what the problem can be…..& hw can i resolve it
to all who doesn’t know yet, great news! EA had announced that they are currently working on a 2nd patch to fix ALL the bugs that have been reported to them. Go to
http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/333357.page
to see for yourselves.
If you are getting an error (black screen) Go to your documents and setting and open the NFS SHIFT folder, open graphicsconfig file using notepad, change your screen settings and refresh rate to what you are using on your video card. remember to make a backup of the original file first.
that’s all I had to do and worked perfect.
This Is the error i get everytime i load the game, starts with a black screen then this appears:

HERE IS A FIX (that worked for me) FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT USE THE KEYBOARD TO SELECT LANGUAGE OR SKIP THE INTRO VIDEO CAUSING 1.0-not being able to press enter after the loading screen and 1.02 crash at loading screen after intro video.
This fix is for Windows 7 x64, I am running SHIFT without any compatibility options, with an ATI HD4870, Intel E8500.
My keyboard layout is usually a self-made DVORAC based one, so while trying to trouble shoot I tried changing my “Default input language” in the “Text Services and Input Languages” back to “English (****) – US” and now have been playing the game successfully for 3hrs without any hiccups.
Hope this helps!
Go to controllers and change from Joystick to keyboard.

When i start to install need for speed shift set up after installing DIrectX an ERROR appeared Source file not found: F:\ Group 1 cab.Verify that the file exist and that you can access it. What was that mean?Anyone knows??
Problem #6. Game loads screen and gets to the driver safety page and this error message pops out : “shift.exe has encountered a problem”
Solution :as posted by Marrs
actually that solution didn’t quite worked for me as the game recreated the file upon launching, but that helped me solving it…
what I did was modify graphicsconfig.xml with notepad the value of Vsync and antialias lines to “0″ like this:
(as the width, height and refresh are my screen native I let like it was)
and:
game launched ok! ;D
(probably the vsync change was the only necessary but I don’t like much of antialiasing, but that might have helped too)
I have another problem with NFS-Shift.It loads perfectly.Everything is cool,but when i start any race my computer hangs,i can’t do anything.Thanks beforehand.

For who are having crashes at the loading of the test lap, I found a solution:
Go to “My Documents”, then go to NFS SHIFT folder. Delete the xml with the graphics configurations that’s outside of the profile folder.
Then, go to the nvidia or ati (not tested) and set the custom configurations to DEFAULT. Go to nvidia or ati website and look for physx drivers. Download it and install it. Reboot.
Now, do the test race and the first race with the default settings of the game.
After, save and quit the game. Now you can set the graphics that you want by the xml at the profiles folder.
Recommendation: DO NOT set the resolution bellow 1280×720, because the game will run at windowed mode, and i think that it could cause some issues and slow fps.
And, complementing, DO NOT change the settings by the menu of the game. In this case, the game could start to crash and the only solution would be to delete the profiles folder then make all these steps again.
Greetings from Brazil! Who wants my xml configuration file can send me an e-mail, lucas.kuhn@rocketmail.com!

My NFS Shift was all messed up today, i didnt play it for 5 days or so and today when i went i went to load my profile, it loaded but my career was gone, i had to start new career, when i did and done that first lap with the BMW and went to by my “first” car, the money i had owned, bout 2 mil was still there and the cars i had were there but i could not go to my garage without buying my ( according to this game) “first” car i couldn’t even do that cus (again according to the game) i had no empty car spaces. well i guess that is true because i do own a couple of dozen cars…i dont know what to do, tried restarting the computer and stuff, no difference…i guess it could be prevented by backup but i did not do such thing (kicking myself right now)
if anyone could figure this out, ill be watching this page, for your info i had no other problems with the game, runs smoothly on my pc
thank you
pls pls send me an e-mail…when i select Start Career the cinematics before the test lap repeats a lot of time and doesnt start the game it just repeat again a lot of times.or sometimes it passes and when comes the information about the test lap the nfs shift close down by itself and doesn give me any error report i have never be able to enter the game..if anyone have solved the problem can send me an email—alperdalga87@hotmail.com thank u
