The game does not start

[alexx87c]

Once I download the game, I try to do the boot and not start. What can be the problem?
Is there a discussion already underway in this forum? Thank you

did you connect your game to origin?

[alexx87c]

A origin connects, but starting from the first race, the game crashes and returns to Windows.

Run the download from steam, it does not start

are you running windows 10?

did you install PhysX for shift2? if not you can locate it inside install folder inside game folder Need For Speed Shift 2

C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Need For Speed Shift 2/install/PhysX/PhysX_9.10.0513_SystemSoftware.exe

Yes, I use Windows 10, installed PhysX I selected on "edit". Or should I select "Fix"?

i encounter same issue using windows 10 before the things i did to make this game run

first updating latest windows update including graphics card latest driver especially when using GTX 970 model and higher normally old games react weird when using new graphics cards

[alexx87c]

I understand. Having not had optimum requirements for this game, I never got to play. Here's the reason.. As a graphics card I have AMD Radeon RX 460

Working on getting mine to run right now, worked fine on Windows 7, and most of my older games (TES Oblivion, Red Faction, Hitman Blood Money ect) work fine on Windows 10, I'm trying out different settings/fixes will update if I can get it working!

[ARmodder]

Do the following:

Go into the Install folder in the NFS Shift 2 Directory C:(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Need For Speed Shift 2/Install

Open up the PhysX folder and double click on the PhysX 9.10.0513, and when the options come up select repair/re-install

Do the same for DirectX, and the vcredist_x86 file, then set the Need For Speed Shift 2 application to Run as Administrator, after that it should launch and work fine.

The Run as Administrator by itself might do the trick.

I use Windows 10 and running it in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8 and also checking the Run As Administrator box worked for me.

did all the above suggestions and no luck, the game crashes upon starting career loading screen, do able to login to EA account and change controller and video settings, but as sson as starting the career, it crashes. reinstalling directx/physX/vc/compatibility mode..etc don't work. this computer has Radeon RX580.

and, it works on my another computer with nvidia .... that's why i hate nvidia.

Try setting NFSlauncher/.exe to compatability mode for Windows 7 SP1, there is almost always a workaround for older games on new hardware/software.

I start all over again, reinstall the game and do all the other things.

you want NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software not the one that come with the game

The video card installed on my PC is a AMD Radeon. By chance the game needs the Nvidia video card?

no just the Software, PhysX can be run in Software mode which uses the cpu instead of a Nvidia Gpu in short the game is looking for older PhysX files as the one that comes with the game are not the right ones.
