{{ii}} If you’re unable to modify the graphic settings due to the previously mentioned error, this solution is a recommended workaround.

# Search for the executable “Registry Editor” in Windows.

# Run the program and select the “Yes” option.

Issues unresolved

The game gets stuck on certain loading screens

At certain times the game may get stuck loading at specific parts of the game, such as when loading a race or in the start menu it stays with "ASSEMBLING TEAM". although there are some possible solutions to this problem, it has not been verified if it works on different equipment with different specifications.
Turn off "Physics particles"[2]
This solution can also work for NASCAR 15[3]
  1. Run NASCAR14.exe
  2. Go to "MY NASCAR" - "OPTIONS" - "GRAPHICS SETTINGS".
  3. Select Disabled in "Physics particles"
  4. Save settings.
Disable Nvidia Optimus[4]
Lock the game at "60 FPS"[5]
  1. Run NASCAR14.exe
  2. Go to "MY NASCAR" - "OPTIONS" - "GRAPHICS SETTINGS".
  3. Select 60 FPS in "Target FPS"
  4. Save settings.
Delete the folder NASCAR 14 from Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eutechnyx\NASCAR 14 through regedit.[6]
If you’re unable to modify the graphic settings due to the previously mentioned error, this solution is a recommended workaround.
  1. Search for the executable “Registry Editor” in Windows.
  2. Run the program and select the “Yes” option.
  3. Look for the following path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eutechnyx\NASCAR 14
  4. Delete the “NASCAR 14” folder
  5. When asked if you want to permanently delete this key and all of its subkeys, select “Yes”
  6. Exit the “Registry Editor” program and run NASCAR14.exe.
It is recommended not to select “NVIDIA GPU” or "NVIDIA GPU ULTRA" and instead keep the default settings.
Run the game in window mode and make the game window as horizontal as possible[7]

    Verified on a laptop with a 144.15 Hz monitor using Windows 11 Insider Preview 22635.2915 (ni_release) I’m noting this because when I select 30 FPS, the game locks at 36 FPS instead of 30 FPS.
