Burnout: Paradise : The Ultimate Box

[TheDevl]

I've been trying to play this game ever since I installed 7 for the first time, and it crashes every single time. I'll get a loading screen for 10-15 seconds, then it crashes.

This problem is common in almost any 7 system. Any tips?

Moved to "Help me" section.

Try:
Disabling all the soundtracks in the config menu.

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH]

Well your specs seem fine, but I've heard that that game has issues with Windows 7.

Special patches exist for Windows 7. They should be easy to find on the official website. If the problem still isn't solved, there may be some user-made patches (that's how I got a few games working).

You could always try to play the game as administrator or in compatibility mode. It seldom works but it's worth a shot

Do you get a specific error message or just a normal crash with "Burnount_blablabla.exe has stopped working" ?

It was "Burnout blablabla has stopped working." I fixed it though. The game is apparently incompatible with multicore processors.

Well that's silly in our day and age.
I blame the media and violence in video games

I blame capitalism.
Also, err locked.
