problems with SHIFT2

Post by H3ll$pawn »

So I got the game trough EA-store(BE).
Installation and initial setup went fine, apart from the cannot connect to autolog error.

Test-track was loading, ended in a BSOD: THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER.
Rebooted, tried again up till three times, just kept crashing.
Next try I lowered every graphical setting to "medium".
Did the test-track+race, ended first with 20k money in the bank.
So now I have to choose a first car.

This is the part that I can't complete, the game freezes from the moment I scroll trough te available cars.
Music keeps playing though, cursor and loading image just freeze, up untill the point the sounds desides to quit, and the whole computer blocks.
I have to hard-reboot every time.
Has anyone encountered this problem or does someone knows how to fix?
Google came up blank, and over @ the EA forums,everything goes so slow....

specs:

Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Intel Q6600@3.0 Ghz
6Gig Corasair ram
Sounblaster X-Fi with latest drivers.
MSI GTX295 with up-to-date Physx-software and 196.21 drivers(outdated, i know, new ones give me errors).

Try adding shift2u.exe to Data Execution Prevention's exceptions, for Windows 7 it's in Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Performance > Data Execution Prevention. My game would crash right before Autolog log in until I did this.

WinXP 32 bit as OS, sry forgot to mention, thnx tho.
Graphical issue's are all gone, playing maxed out.

Still can't login to autolog, wich is needed to get my LE content.
I already filled a complaint to EA, if they do not fix, i'll have to go for a refund.
