Issues fixed
High frame rate issues
{{Fixbox|description=Framerate can be limited using RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) or Nvidia Inspector|ref=|fix=
- Set the framerate limit to 60 Hz
- Without the framerate capped to 60 Hz, cars will frequently slow down, menus will be much faster, and most cutscenes will advance dialogue too quickly.
Black screen on start
Playing the game without the CD inserted (by the CD check removed) results in the FMVs not playing correctly, including the intro movies, as these are stored only on the disc. This will be evident by using Alt-Tab to go back to the desktop, and seeing a dialog box titled "File Error" and reading "The file: FMV_\[fmv_name] could not be opened or is corrupt".
- Tapping the Enter key until the menu appears may work by pressing "OK" on dialog boxes that aren't visible because the game is full screen.
- You may also disable movies entirely in the game's launcher.
- Playing the game with the CD in your optical drive or with the disc image mounted will also solve the issue.
