Shaking screen, distorted shadows, flickering textures, fps drops (?).
I got everything on max settings. First I want to ask, is there a way to disable the shaking screen? It is annoying as hell. Distorted shadows look like I have the AA on -8, is there a mod that fixes the shadows? Flickering textures are not on car but in the world. I don't spend too much time looking at buildings, but it is so noticable that it is disturbing.

Also, I have fps shown with gforce experience and it is constantly at 60. Sometimes the game looks like it gets a massive fps drop but the fps is still at 60, so I assume is is the game? Is this a bad console port?

Edit : Also, how do you get the overlay to work? It seems like EA tries to force me to make an EA account so I can do something simple like take a screenshot. I got steam already for that, is this why they disabled the in-game overlay?

- To remove the fps drop on your system, you need to set the frame rate limit to 55-57FPS in the Riva tuner or in the video card driver, this helps.
- Nothing can be done with the shadows yet, but work is underway to solve this problem.
- The trembling screen is disabled in patch 5.0

In General, I would write a collective complaint against EA, because they still fool the players. In the screenshots in steam and origin this is bulshots, in the game you will not get such graphics and this is a fraud.

It's a pretty bad console port, and it doesn't seem to play too well on modern systems tbh, It's also unplayable if you have the origin version with above 4 CPU cores, luckily steam version isn't like that

Overlay doesn't work, and no, no fixes for that, some older games just refuses to have overlay for whatever reason, it's not just limited to this game, there are a few others. although you can add it as a non-steam game, for overlay, but then your play time won't count.

also the online site for EA where you saw your screenshots on, etc etc etc, are long, long gone, it was gone since 2010 or something, you can still upload to the site and it will succeed, but the site itself is long gone
