Ok, this game is pathetic, actually worse than that, and one badly coded piece of shit..

first off EA convinently does not include WS resolutions as they should have
2nd the game looks something which was ported from PS1

1280x800 gives 25-30 fps, 1440x900 gives 20-22 and 1680x1050 gives 15 fps for such POS gfx :O

and even if i overlook that fact, the game gets stuck everytime i quit, nothing works, so have to press the sleep button, and log in again, then task manager and end the friggin game process, and then it hangs my pc again lol and i have to repeat the above procedure..

i really liked the concept and was looking forward to the game but this is down right pathetic, i hope they have a new patch out which irons out the above issues

oh and one more thing, this stupid game tries to connect to EA server every chance it gets, what for I have no clue, maybe coz of the ranking system, but shit i dont wanna get ranked or any such shit, have an option that says disable, can it be that hard..

all in all my initial thoughts = really let down by this game
 
Are you sure it isn't just your copy of the game that could have some problem, except the online portion that is?
 
EA was really optimizing the games for older cards.. (UG2 ran on 4MX's , MW ran on evn 2MX's .. ) i was hoping it would run on at least my 4MX... guess not :(

if 7600gt isint enough for these kind of graphics, i think g80 now makes sense, why optimise, just do crappy coding and force ppl to buy high end gfx card to overpower the game...

and no its not just my game, ive read over other places as well, ppl facing similar issues..
 
Well, I was playing NFS MW yesterday and I was wondering if the series can get any worse.... looks like it can :P

I will have to wait for a few days to play Carbon though.... But I dont have any high hopes....
 
All the nfs games have more or less sucked since hp2.

EA couldn't be happier, they have successfully managed to push 5 racing games with 1 track, no ai, no replays, no gfx and no gameplay.
Only the engine sounds are good...

i didnt had any hopes with this game and even then i came out dissapointed lol

and so much bloom my eyes are watering.. will attach some screenshots in a while

EDIT: here you go



i dont think these gfx are justified for giving me 11 fps lol
 
the handling in MW sucked IMO. at default settings, the cars were literally stuck to the roads.My sister could drive better in MW tho:rofl: it took a bit of tuning to get them to handle even remotely like in UG2. and there wasnt any drift in MW :no: at least thats fixed in carbon. well, about the eye candy....... never known such a thing on my 4MX :D
 
6300 @ 2.7G 1:1

512 x 2

7600GT at stock

i had to turn on motion blurr to distract me from the gfx lol

and if someone knows how to disable the stupid so called HDR in this game, lemme know

btw i didnt start this thread to troubleshoot, just a place where ppl can post their views about the game so dont tell me its something wrong with my PC or so lol
 
Hi think the Visual Treatment turns off the HDR. thought it doesn't have Overbright feature(not seen yet) that we saw in MW.

I checked this thread & came to know there are people getting lesser FPS than me lol. I was wondering if i was getting 17-to-23 FPS with a x1900xt, what w'd be the performance with mid-end cards.

Too many bugs at the moment. game crashes randomly, not too often but does crash. Alt - F4 gets it stuck there only. EA need a serious patch for it soon.
 
when i played the demo...i was totally shocked!! the game has too much pink n blue in it....looks like an japanese arcade game (esp when your crew pushes u on)....
Thought the full version will be better....but after readin wat u guys have to says....i am totally disappointed!
 
That's really sad , was eagerly awaiting to play it...though it would run at decent settings on my 7600gt...too bad :( ... I could understand lower fps with games like oblivion, however the graphics of carbon are not great to say the least, looks like really badly coded game...I find flat out 2 much better than this.
 
The full version of the game is not bad at all, the demo sucked coz of low res textures as I mentioned in another thread and performance is quite okay for me , 35+ at all times on a 7900GT@550/775, and A64@2.52, 2GB G.Skill
 
The last good NFS game came out 6 years ago... Porsche Unleashed. The way things are headed at EA, I think it will be another 6 before something worthwhile comes along.
