is this so broke? other games suggestions?

Hi there

I was thinking about buying this since I was a Burnout fan on PS1 and it´s 85% off

however the reviews says the game crashes all the time and there´s an issue with some EA network that make it a piece of junk

I use to play Hot Wheels Unleashed with my kid and I was thinking about buying other arcade game to alternate... if not this burnout, any suggestions? note that my pc is a bit old 8gb ram with a decent 2gb video card

There is a guide that sorts out crashes, refusal to start up etc.

There's no problem with the EA app, I own most of EA and Ubisoft's games on Steam and their apps basically just verifiy you actually own the game. All you need to do is install them and you'll be prompted to do that when you launch the game for the first time. From then on, it will seamlessly open itself when you launch Burnout Paradise through Steam and you can close it when you're done playing. Too many Steam users seem to be excessively hostile toward "third-party" launchers like Ubisoft/EA/Rockstar Launcher being used by the companies in question (and actively downrate the games in reviews purely for that reason). It doesn't bother me one jot. I can play my legitimately purchased game and the fact that they are all centralised within my Steam collection is the only thing that's important to me.

im gonna take the chance and prolly buy it, worst case scenario is a refund in under 2 hours.

This game loaded fine for me on my system ryzen 5 system with a 4060 with 32 gigs of ram no issues with it crashing

the first burnout came out in the ps2, not ps1
