Firstly, my specs -

Intel Core i3 540 @ 3.06 gHz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia GTX 960 2 GB Edition

The problem is that, the game crashes on equal intervals. I am in a race, and it suddenly force closes for no reason at all. I have played many high end games at high settings with good fps and no crashes, but The Run, inspite of being so old, crashes. When the game is running, I get good fps and I have been playing comfortably on ultra settings. But nothing can explain the crash.

One more issue is, that if I change the controls, they revert back after I restart the game.

If someone knows some working patch or update for this, plz post the download link.

What OS are you running it on? I ask because I ran it on XP with no such problems, so if you're on a more current OS, try XP compatibility mode.

This is a more comprehensive list of checks though.

Are you getting a black screen after launch? Is NFSTR crashing to the desktop (CTD)? Does it freeze, hault, or stall? Rough! Try the following solutions:

— Apply the latest patch to the game (for consoles and the PC version)
— Change your resolution to something more common
— In a multiple computer monitor configuration, disable all but the primary monitor
— Upgrade your video card drivers! These provide optimization, bug fixes, and increased frame rates. You can find...

The controls resetting is a common bug that many got, including myself, and was never fixed as far as I know.
