im playing it and i know my computer can handle it a breeze as i can play 1680 res no problem its not laggy or jittery atall

my thing is the controls dont seem to be very responsive example when im racing its seems slo mo, i dont know how else to describe it just not very responsive i feel

EDIT: sorry my bad not slo mo just really responsive like you always have to steer left and right to control the car just to go on a straight (well not that bad but you get the jist) unlike the previous ones where they were just fine

It could (very rarely) be some sort of input lag issue. Tried enabling vsync?

Not a clue why it's laggy to input but the driving model on that game is a pile of rubbish, might just be because it's "realistic"

Updating drivers is always a good thing, do it :)

Hi, i had same problem with mine,but it would load sometimes, but when i tried to start a race it would freeze solid and the arrorw would stop spinning.
If your running a amd system try installin the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer this worked fine with mine, been playing 8 hours now and not a glitch.
Also play the game in win98/me compatibility mode this also seems to help with the smoth running aswell.

You could try changing the compatibility mode:


1.Right click the shortcut to Need For Speed Shift

2. Select ‘Properties’ go to the ‘Compatibility’ tab and choose 'Windows 98' from the list press 'OK'.
