Issues and Fixes
Game Crashes on Start-up
Burnout Paradise will crash on start-up if you have any type of screen recording software installed on your computer like X-Split.
(This is because the game sees it as a webcam)
The only way to fix this is to uninstall said programs from your computer.
You may also be using the CL Eye Driver to utilize the PlayStation Eye camera as a webcam on your PC. If you are doing so, your game WILL crash. The only way to get around this is to uninstall the CL Eye Driver and reboot. You also may encounter more problems even after this step. It is almost definitely NOT your fault. This game is very broken and you may have to do trial and error by closing certain services and running Burnout Paradise.
One way that should fix this issue is to make no programs launch on start, then run Burnout.
The game may also crash if you run the game on Windows 7. To fix this, set the game's .exe to Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, or if that doesn't work, Windows Vista SP2 compatibility. Setting the anti-aliasing in the game's configuration program to 2X may also help.
How to go Online
Anyone who has played this game knows that the online is completely broken for most. Here is a step by step guide about how I fixed it.
- First you must try to connect online (this should fail but if it doesn't ignore the rest of guide)
- After it fails go to the same screen but instead of entering your account info again click "create new account"
- Here you will want to enter the same information for the account you are trying to log in with (like the same username and email)
- Once you have done that try to create a new account
- If you entered everything correctly it should say something along the lines of "account already exists"
- From here reboot the game and try again with the same account info you used in the create account page, you should now be able to log on and to play online.
- (The reason I believe this works is because the burnout servers are not updated and this forces them to update with your account info)
"The product key you are using is invalid"
Upon attempting to log into an EA/Origin account in order to play the game online, some users encounter the error "The product key you are using is invalid". This occurs if you are using a retail version of the game which you have registered online via Origin/EA Download Manager. The game recognizes that your CD key is already in use (on Origin), and thinks it is invalid.
The only solution to this issue is to download and reinstall the game via Origin.
DLC
The DLC in this game is currently broken and there is no way to obtain it.
