FIXED Black Screen

[KK]

Just go to Steam\SteamApps\common\Need For Speed Shift 2 and rename SHIFT2U.exe to SHIFT2U.bin.exe and run it.

Then you need to create a new shortcut yourself as the original one won't work.

BTW, i dont find any people playing multi. Is this my problem or this fix wont allow multiplayer?

This doesn't work since it still says "Failed to Start Game (Missing Executable)" when I double click on 'SHIFT2U.bin.exe' directly.

yes, thanks this works
and btw if anybody want to run this from steam just create a simple c progam

just donwload c compiler / ide
here is the source code,

int main (){
system("SHIFT2U.bin.exe");
return 0;
}


compile, get the executable, move it to install dir, and you good to go

it worked for me in Steam for linux.. I renamed SHIFT2U.exe to SHIFT2U.bin.exe and later created a shortcut.. once the shortcut was created I renamed the shortcut to SHIFT2U.exe

I don't know if this will work on Windows.

BTW, I sed Proton 4.3.9
Use BMP Overlay Forced Off.

Thank you, this actually worked to fix the game!
Note: After this fix, the game cannot be started from the Steam client anymore,
which you have to remember always.
EA should really incorporate this easy fix themselves,
because they are now selling broken software.
