If you have changed your graphic settings, espcecially the shadow setting and the blur setting down, put them back where they were to begin with. I tried to turn off that stupid blur effect (I've been to 155 mph on my bike and not even IT blurs like that) because I find it pretty rediculous that you can't read your gauges at 120 mph. When I did that, the game started a bit laggy...but it would work until I went to start the race. It would be showing you sitting on the grid, then when it went to go into the cockpit it would crash every time.

I just put those settings back on high like they were and it solved the problem. For some reason, turning the graphics down or trying to get rid of the blur effect screws the game up completely.

I know...it sounds reverse of what it should be, but there you go.

I'm becoming a specialist on fixing bugs in NFS shift. (or should be shitf?). Shame on you, EA.
Thanks Parminio for the blur & shadow effects clue. This helped (I could almost complete one lap in the quick race!!)
Its hilarious, it shouldn't be called "graphics options", should be "bug options" as it works only with one type of setting.
But I still get "shift encountered an error and needs to be closed".
This smells to me a deadline run over, when a software is delivered before it becomes ready (stable).
Also this is called "test phase" in software engineering (if at least EA knows what software engineering is)
Very sad...

Installing ServicePack 3 on XP resolves problem of black screen

It works in my case. Try it

Installing the game on the same harddisk partition as windows made my game work for reasons unknown.

that is a min. requirement see the min. req. list

The thing is that i've played shift for one month without sp3 (i had sp2) and suddenly shift stopped working. Installing sp3 helps with that

I am having this problem also. shift.exe a problem has occured. I cant even get threw the start carrer first turn to even get into the game.

Any other fixes for this

I face the same problem with my enter key, when I start the game I have to select the language, where the enter key does not work, but somehow the introduction video starts after some seconds at the end of this video you have to press enter again, but no matter how many times I hit enter, it just won't work, so I can't play the game. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Please, if you don't have anything useful to add, just don't add anything

I have Logitec LX 710 ketboard.

Today i buy classic keyboard with cable and all works.

Hy, I installed the game on a laptop. The game starts but at the language menu I can’t use the enter button. After a ffew seconds, the presentation of the game starts, after it ends I can’t continue to the menu because i have to press enter and the button doesn’t work. The laptop is new and the keyboard works fine. What is the problem? i instaled the patch v1.02, but I can’t see the mouse on my screen. Please help me. And sorry for my bad english.
