Have you been experiencing any issues regarding the launch of some vehicles? Please post the exact vehicle, game mode, multi or single player and your platform (complete with system specifications where applicable) if you have.

I have vehicle launch lag. E.g. After it says go/ green, I am accelerating and the blue msg of "perfect launch/ launch perfect" appeared on the top bar, but the REV drops down to 3000-4000rpm b4 it decides to pick it up (No tyre screeching, it's like stall on the grid). It does that for every car that I've ever driven in SHIFT.

EDIT: PC user here.

The game has an intermittent glitch regarding launching.

Sometimes, a car (most often when it's unmodified) will not go once the green light flashes. Restarting doesn't solve this. The best workaround I've found is to go into another race and another car for a little while, then come back to it. The bug goes away after this.

Again, it's with any car and usually unmodified. That said, I've seen it happen most with the Dodge Viper SRT-10 with no mods.

Forgot to add, running Shift on an XBox 360 Elite 120 Gig model.

Hi torque, can we get some information on some kind of response from EA regarding this terrible crashing bug that thousands of people are experiencing on this board? For many, many of us we haven't been able to play the game or get past the first turn on the test track since we purchased it 3 days ago and still no word from EA? Its a terrible crash. There are numerous posts on these boards about it and so many of us are not able to play?

I'm going to have to agree. I'd like some answers about why I just spent $55 on a game that obviously wasn't ready to be released. I bought the game today, got invited to an event where I can race with a Ford GT or Viper Srt-10. Naturally I choose the Viper, and come to find out, it won't move off the line. At all. What is the deal here guys. I keep reading this about Vipers and Corvettes not moving off the line, yet no response alluding to a fix! I've got to admit I'm not a happy customer right now. After the abomination the was Undercover I swore I'd never buy NFS again, but the reviews on this game were excellent, so I thought I'd give it a try, and now this! Answers!

If you have any cars in your garage that you have tuned using the advanced tuning options, return them to their default states and turn off advanced tuning, then perform a manual save from the options menu. Once I did this I found the viper worked correctly.

I've found with the Corvette that if I reset to default the advanced tuning options I had changed and turned off advanced tuning then performed a manual save from the options menu my Corvette started working again.



THIS IS THE FIX GUYS. I tried exactly what this says and it worked perfectly. Thank you sir you are a GOD. If you don't mind I'm going to post this in the EA sticky at the top of the forum.

I play with a xbox 360 120 gig ver. and it seems to be the Viper & Corvette that are stallimg on the line. seems to happen after making any type of uning adjustments.

thats the problem with EA trying to launch a NFS every year.
most of the time they get worse over the years and now i hear this problem.
personally i have only experienced that the game is moving at half speed on my pc but in some corners it does go at normal speed.
after seein the movies of very fast gameplay i thought the NFS will be good but then i found out it was only going half speed.
just mailed the support, lets hope they wont make me regret buying this game.

im not sure if this is a launch issue but i used mircosoft points bought he viper go too race and it wont go anywhere tryed everything i could to try and get it to work i think there is a glitch xbox 360

I was in an Online match today. PS3, 2 players, on Spa GT, using the unmodified Maserati (the 20.0 rated car) and the green light went and I just stayed there. Had to restart the PS3 to get it to work.

I'm having a launching issue in the invitational event "Viper Vs Ford GT", if I select the Viper, it won't launch at all, even although it changes to first gear after the green light, I accelerate and the car stays there, doesn't move a bit. I'm using automatic transmition, expert handling mode, single player, playing on PC. AMD Phenom x3 8450 @2.1Ghz, ATI HD4670 512MB with latest 9.9 catalyst drivers, 4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM, Win7 x64 Ultimate RTM fully updated.

PS3-I can't compete in the Carrera GT race in the invitational event because the car will bounce all over the place once it is above 140mph.

Xbox 360 Pro Console 20Gig. 911 vs Corvette Z06 wont launch in Tier 3 regardless of me being in 1st or 2nd starting position.

Stupid Corvette won't move on my system as well. And the crashing issue is happening to all my friends instead of me. LOL. Majority of em' had CTD when the 1st test race starts. Some crash half-way the test race. Are the devs reading this?

Using Dell Studio 15 (2.53GHz Core 2 Duo, ATI M Radeon 4570 512MB, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD)

Corvette and Viper won't launch here too, both without any tuning parts. Happens in quick race and career.
