I'm now level 10 and quite enjoying this game so far. Windows 7 RC 64bits, Core 2 E8400 @ 4Ghz, 4GB of RAM & ATI 4870 512MB (Cats 9.8 ) along with Logitech MOMO wheel.
At first I've had problem with the game (CTD when the first career race started up) Look's like it fixed by itself when I started the 2nd race in the career instead (uh?!) Anyway, now the game is working fine.
The game is running so-so when using the in car view (All maxed up, vsync on, 1680x1050, 16xAF, 4xAA) However as soon as I switched to bumper view I immediately noticed a difference in performance! You should try it! But I agree some tracks are running more worse than others. Hopefully EA & ATI is coming with a Patch or Driver soon
So far so good. I really like the cars sounds too... Great game to wait until Forza 3!

The important thing is that it doesn't have catchup !!! (I think so at least) |
And if you don't upgrade they don't upgrade as well? Ingenious! Why upgrade then at all?
This reminds me of NFS 2. No matter how good you are driving your opponents are always behind you.

Ok people, theres a problem with the crack! Cheked by me.
I'm one of the Windows 7 & ATi users with problems running the game. It crash after the first loading screen, no matter waht you do the screen goes black and nothing more happen. The only posible solution was to change the compatibility mode to Windows 98 but then the game run slowly.
I've have removed the RELOADED crack from the game folder, copied back the original exe from the game and used a MDS/MDF image of the game with Daemon Tools and YASU: now the game runs well without crashing anytime, either you have to set the compatybility mode. It runs at first glance!
This means for sure that the problem is with the medicine from RELOADED! Cheked.

Whats the most damage you can put on a car? This is probably the best I can do. I tried to get the doors to come off but no go. Anyone manage to do it?
Also I can't seem to flip the thing onto the roof.

Sorry man but your problem it's not the same problem I'm reporting. My problem is that the game starts, appears the loading NFS Shift screen but then when the intro has to come nothing happens. The screen goes black and that's all. Many users have reported exactly the same problem. And that's why I have posted the solution I have found.
Your problem is a crashing when in the game, it's not the same. I will bet your problem is caused by your hardware or drivers, but not by the crack.

We should post what hardware we have and specify if the game works or not. I'm running with Vista x64, GTX260OC2, 4GB memory, ASUS P5Q Deluxe mobo, E8400 @ 3.6GHz. I have no problems at all. Everything is maxed out at 1920x1200 and FRAPS reports around 60FPS in game.

AWESOME game! But I've got a few questions,
It seems as though most of the cars cockpit view speedometer are ALL on KPH and not MPH. This was most noticeable in the S2000 (digital speedo lolz) is there anyway to change KPH to MPH (in-car speedo)? Probably not but I can hope.
My second question is that I'm playing with the keyboard, but I can't seem to find the option to change the controls for the free-view (default is the numpad) I wanna change them to WASD since it'd be way easier to look around and it's near my shifting keys (shift+ctrl).

I posted this a few pages back but if you are crashing at the test lap loading screen install the latest PhysX drivers from the Nvidia site, this is really only an issue with ATi owners since Nvidia drivers come packaged with them.
If you are crashing early in the test lap make sure you controller preset is actually what you are using (keyboard/etc)
If it still doesn't work what you need to do is delete your profile and graphics settings XML in my documents, open up the game and change your controls as necessary and save and quit. Start it up again and go straight into career. Don't mess with any graphics settings.
Lastly a lot of people with those types of crashes have solved it by ensuring their desktop resolution matches what they are running in game as well as lowering shadow settings.
Check the official forum for the 1000 different solutions to problems.

Aw come on, you still have plenty of paint left on the sides of the car! Try scraping along the guardrail for a good mile or 2. First the colored paint comes off, then the undercoat comes off to reveal the bare metal! Its great!

I hope a complete damage mod will come someday, but I doubt that Shift will be so mod friendly.

After playing a little bit more I have to agree that the game is not optimised for PC.
I started a race in Spa & Nurburg with 15 cars and everything was running great! Very enjoyable. But then I tried this Tokyo circuit and Dakota circuit and boy my FPS wasn't stable and dropped to 15-20. I even removed the drivers AI and my FPS still dropped pretty much.
We need a patch & drivers update!

Same here. Game loads for a second, then music continues, but loading stops. After a while I can start Task manager with Ctrl+alt+del and kill it off. Installed Physx and newest drivers, no help.

Do you see the "saving" icon (a diskette) ? At that point it autosaves, then loads back to the menu.

Who wants music in a racing game? I'm glad they had it turned off during races by default.
