Need for Speed Racing Games

Platform: PC

DLC Installed: DLC Speedhunters and Legends Pack

Patch: I have the latest patch 1.01 downloaded from EA's site

Description: The problem I am having is whenever I go to pick a custom color for my car, every single car I have assigned a custom color to changes to the same color. This also happens whenever I am assigning vinyls to my car if it is using a preset color, it will change to the custom color. Also, there are times when the vinyls do not even appear on the car. This occurs when I minimize the game screen and I have to restart the game in order for it to work properly again. Also, when I have played career mode for a significant amount of time, my frames per second drop dramatically when I start a new race. I then have to minimize my window for a few seconds in order for it to function properly again. I can not post an image of this, you will just have to take my word for it. Any help to solving these issues is much appreciated.

How I encountered the bug/glitch: I encountered it while attempting to customize my car.

After applying a decal/vinyl to my custom colored car:

My previously custom colored blue car is now the same color as the red car after applying the decal to my red car:

No decal after window minimization:

I seemed to have fixed the custom color bug. It seems my Lamborghini was the culprit. I sold and bought it again and now the colors work fine. However, I still do get the vinyl bug after minimizing my game window. I will have to do further tests to see if my frames per second are a problem unless someone knows a fix for this.

I am having big issues with fps lag.
I will be playing along fine with 60fps solid v-synced then all of a sudden go down as low as 15fps.

Ok here is a gameplay video to stress my comment.
The FPS seem to be stuck at 30 and below....
i have done 9% of the game with no issues but now i fired it up again i am getting insane lag for unknown reasons.
The video was done with no antialiasing and v-sync turned off.

Here is gameplay of a completely different game on my pc: http://youtu.be/I_3DNw43IS0

Ok fix for my issue is do not use an extended display.

Platform: PS3.

DLC Installed: None.

Updated to newest patch?: Yes, because PS3 updates it automatically.

Brief description of bug/glitch: Audio stops and console freezes.

How you encountered the bug/glitch: I've encountered this glitch all along my gameplay through the game, but specially on nocturnal races, where it seems to happen more often. But today it just turned frustrating. I'm on the Work Series, on the event with only nocturnal races. My console has frozen 3 times and always a hard-reset is the only solution. Please, fix this glitch, because the event is totally unplayable. And I'm not going to risk my console to play this game, although I like it a lot.

Shift 1 if perfectly fine using an xbox controller on PC. Shift 2 however is TOTALLY unplayable, no matter what settings I use there always seems to be a 30% dead zone on the steering. When the steering finally does kick in I'm into the wall. The game is just unplayable. Several other race games besides Shift 1 don't have any problem like this with the xbox controller. Yes the patch is installed, makes absolutely no difference. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Just bought Shift 2 Unleashed on Origin and did well to play until I switched video cards from Radeon 5580 to Nvidia GTX590. If I unplug the network cable, I can play. With the network cable the game locks up my entire computer in the menu after logging in to EA. Is it cloud computing or DRM, which puts a spoke in the wheel?

Platform: PS3 PSN Download
DLC Installed: Legends
Updated: Yes
Brief Desription: Whole career is locked apart from Modern D and Legend even though I'm Level 11. The cars that are given to you early on in career mode (240SX, Exige etc) have disappeared, along with the Réventon and Zonda Cinque that you get from the Hot Pursuit Loyalty Program (it says that I've already received them so I can't get them back - and I have NOT sold them.

I encountered the glitch when I first hopped on this morning, it was fine last night (had a ride in the Cinque!)

(Apologies for the Double Post :O)
I'm guessing that it was a save game corrupt. I moved the original to a USB and created a new game where I got the Réventon and Cinque straight off the bat after checking the Loyalty Program in-game. I was only Level 11, so I can easily rank up again

Platform: PS3
DLC: All
Update: Yes

Description: During a race the vehicle engine sound does not work. Neither do the engine sounds of competitors. You can still hear the gearbox shifting, the exhaust backfiring, tyres squealing, the crowd and ambient noises. Only engine sounds do not work...in both game play and replay.

I encountered this problem the first time i played the game (purchased new from walmart) and have experienced it more often ever since.

Platform: PS3

DLC Installed(If you have it): No

Updated to newest patch? Yes

Brief description of bug/glitch: Steering input/force feedback lag with Driving Force GT wheel

How you encountered the bug/glitch: Every time I try to play the game

I pre-ordered Shift2 Unleashed based on the excellent original NFS Shift, but while the cars, tracks, and graphics all got an upgrade, it seems gameplay was catastrophically hobbled for those playing with a force feedback wheel controller. I own several other racers, and none of them (including the first Shift) do as good a job of simulating a steering linkage made of cheap rubber bands. I complained to customer support, and check for patches about once a month, with no relief. I am ready to throw the game out the window. This is my last try - does anyone know a workaround for this on the PS3, or whether a real fix is planned by the developers?

PS3

Fantastic game! BUT... I can play only 46% carreer... On Oval, muscle cars challenge, game freezes 10 times in the row!!! (only solution - PS3 "hard reset"

So i guess that it is the last EA game for me... I don't want to risk broke my PS3...

Thanks a lot, EA!

and bye...


...


ps. I'm very sure, that nothing wrong with my PS3 or tv or sound system or cables - I can play every other game hours and hours without any problem... ex. GT5 - 1080p! and PS3 was up for 56 hours and no problems at all...

Hu, people still report bugs

Guys, EA doesn't care about this game anymore. They told support has ended. Developper of the game doesn't even work with EA anymore. That's sad but the game will remain as it is forever.

Got 2 issues:

I just purchased NFS S2U. installed it and also downloaded the speedhunters and origin DLCs.

Game runs smoothly, but;

1: Cant find any races online. Always says ¨NO RACES FOUND¨. Both OS and Antivirus firewall are turned off. I can play any of my other games (e.g. Call Of Duty) online but not S2U.

2: Also, I just recently changed my password cuz I forgot it and now can´t access the EA Account tab/button in the game to change the password, so now I cant log into Autolog. PLS HELP!!!
