[PC] Burnout Paradise Remastered crashing in menu

★★★★★ Newbie

Finally I manged Burnout Paradise Remastered to be loaded and I even can explore Paradise City - yay! At least most of the time as the game sometimes already crashes as soon the car is dropped to the tarmac after selecting it in the menu.

 

But as soon as I try to access the stats/option menu by clicking Esc whilst being in game, the game crashes to Desktop. Sometimes the stats menu screen shows up but when I press F1/F2 (doesn´t matter if it´s done by keyboard or by clicking on it) the game crashes again.

 

Also, why isn´t there a Launcher like it existed in Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box wher it was possible to set some options before starting the game, like screen resolution and graphic details.

Got it. If the screen resolution in the config.ini is set to 720p, everything works absolutely fine, I can even change all the settings to max in the game without a single issue.

 

Beside this I had to remove Dazzle which sems to been responsible for the launch screen to crash.

 

However, this means the settings have to be changed everytime the game is launched, hence a patch for this problem would be nice though.

Hello migi1984, I have de same issue; I tryed modifying the resolution to 720p from the NVIDIA control panel, but the problem continues. Could you please explain a little more about the config.ini  modification and the "Dazzle" removal?

 

Thanks

[Solved] So finally I was able to run the game without problems, using a switch pro controller, windows 10:

  • Disable the camera: 
    • The first time I ran the game it was able to run without problems, and even take a photo with the integrated webcam from my laptop. But days later when i wanted to play again, the game continued to crash whenever I wanted to display the option menu or when I finished a career.
    • Disable webcam from webcam privacy settings (configuracion de privacidad de camara), just by disabling the camera access (I change this everytime i want to play this game in order for the camera to be available for other applications
  • From the path C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise Remastered, I changed the configuration of the file config.ini  to  
    • Width=1280
    • Height=720
  • I didn't need to play the game offline, but some users reported that this was the option for them
  • Also added this game to the 3D configuration from the NVIDIA control panel as described in this video:
