- patch #1 ruined my save game, now when i load my profile I have the same car I had tuned up and all the money but only allowed to start new career. If I start new career, I am unable to buy a new car on this profile as my garage is full.

- My latest race in tier 3 seemed to never end. The timer does not start and I had done quite a few laps (not an endurance race) and the timer still read 00:00.

- Some selected cars in the menu do not show their preview, just a blank showroom

Any help much appreciated. I have tried re-installing the game and replacing the savegame with my backup but to no avail.]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/306699/2977551.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/306699/2977551.page Patch speeded up load times nicely though.
Still get things like the sky is missing sometimes, next race on same track is fine.
Sometimes get interesting things like floating grass above the track and inside the car ( again this
is usually fine next time )
Enjoyed hearing the guy telling me what a great win I'd just had, after I lost a race

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.]]> http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/306699/3166613.page http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/preList/306699/3166613.page 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...
