I just discovered the reason for the random crashes.In order to avoid them u gotta have an Athlon FX-876539843 , wich runs @ 78,9Thz , 80 PB RAM and u also have to remove the heatsink and fan of the cpu.Oh and u MUST NOT have an HDD or Speakers and use a trackball mouse...

Did i mention the ISA graphics card?....

what's the clock speed of Athlon 1800+???
system requirement said you need a 1.7Ghz processor.
I think FX5200 is OK, can run with some low and med setting I guess.

@ EVO_VIII
it's 1.53 GHz. It doesn't matter for me if the game runs in low setting, but it should run smooth to play

It'll run but you'll need to turn EVERYTHING to the lowest. That CPU is really dated the graphics card isn't that great, so don't expect much.

I used to have the FX5200 but now have a Radeon X800XT. I don't think it was a great card to be honest and struggled with most new games. I have a significantly greater gaming experience now than i did before. I would imagine it would struggle badly with NFSC.

I have finished career two days ago. Today i wanted to play. So I turned on a game and it says that my career is 0% finished. Money, cars, parts are unlocked, but all of the tracks are not finished. So I started a new alias and finished first track. It said 1%. Then I turned off and turned on the game and again it said 0%. I reinstalled the game but it's the same. What to do? Sorry for bad english. :oops:

Hi, I wanted to ask for help to.... I am having issues with the video sequences that represent the story: they are very choppy and the sound doesn't fit with the videos.... Even though I had increased the page file size like it has been said in the readme file but I still have no success: it's still choppy.... Maybe somebody knows how to fix this? I would be very thankful

Here they are: AMD 1.6Ghz, Geforce 6600, 512MB ram.... Of courese it looks like that my computer shouldn's even run this game but I run F.E.A.R. in medium specs easily and the gameplay on high specs in this game isn't so bad... Just those darn cutscenes... I had the same problem with NFS MW and this really drives me crazy because it really takes me out of the experience

The CPU is not very good but the rest is alright.
Do the following:
Defragment your Dard Drive
Update your Video Drivers
Set the game GFX lower
And in the control panel of your video card set the slider to Performance
Here is an example of an ATi card:

So what should I do?

I have 3.4 GHz Pentium 4, 1 Gb RAM, GeForce FX5600. I finished the game without problems until this happened.

Well, I did it all that you mentioned but it still lags... But thank you for your effort.... Maybe there will be a fix for this somewhere because I am not the only one having this... Even the people with good system specs have this issue....

Common "problem", the vinyl moving/rotating is pretty slow. It helps if you keep pressing in to direction where you want go, after a few clicks a grey place holder appears that moves reasonably fast. If you keep waiting for the game to redraw the vinyl after every press of a button it takes forever to get anywhere.
