I have two things here:

A built computer,

and,

Need for Speed Prostreet.(I like the game. Please do me a favor and keep your personal opinions about it out of this thread.)

The first I havent had for a year. The second I've had for several years. (5 maybe? Unsure. It has the Classics logo thing on it.)

I would like to be able to play said game.

Installed it. Opened it. Yay, it works. Adjust options-oh.

After a few minutes ingame, no matter what, it always crashes. I can even go into a race and it will crash after half a lap or so.

I really would like to get this fixed ._. Halp!
 
Solution
To anyone running a Nvidia GPU. Change the name of the exe file for the game in the main game folder to anything other than the default name. Changed mine to "Prostreet" and it's been running fine. I'm running a GT 750m on a Lenovo y500.

I've done this, yes. I'm not a noob. :p It works, just crashes. I tried disabling punkbuster yesterday via services.msc, havent been able to reboot due to letting TDU2 download. Will attempt a reboot now.

hasnt worked.

before it was working, but I did an update with my graphics and stopped working initiates, makes vrruuuummm logo and all that enters the menu and then puff is out of the game, does a message ... windows seek a solution appears accept and that's it

seriously I would like a solution, I love the game, not how it looks, but the way in which tuning your engine and as he listens, crashes and all that, I love it
