NFS Shift 2

[fortkentdad]

I broke this game too.

It was working, but now when I try to start the game it goes through the activation process, asks for the validation code, and once entered it pauses for a second, tells me that the "Activation was successful" and then closes. No game. Nothing. Checked taskmaster and there are no processes running. What happened? I did have a wheel hooked up last time I played the game that is not there now but that should not prevent the game from starting.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game - no change.

Any ideas?

Could this be yet another Windows 8 thing?

I did try to install Flight Gear which did not work either, maybe Fight Gear changed something??

Will try uninstalling Flight Gear and see if that makes any difference.

Most likely doesn't run in windows 8, try to load up the exe in the origin folder.

I know they have made alot of changes on the engine since Shift 2 but Project CARS runs in windows 8. Unfortunatly the game closed today the registrations.

I just assembled this system last month so I doubt it's due, but when does one need to reformat anyway? Never reformated a drive. Defrag yes but never a reformat.

might be that you have the windows 8 and it does not like it.

I have sent in my problem to EA Tech support will post the reply once I get it.

I don't understand why it would have worked for a while - played it half dozen times. But now it won't load and only goes to the Authorization screen which it never did before. Odd.
