Potential resolved issues:
– No audio – Press Alt+Tab out of the game and then back to it. This is necessary every time the game is run
– Burnout Paradise may crash on start-up if you have screen recording software running, such as XSplit or Bandicam. This occurs because the game sees the software as a webcam. The easiest way to rectify this issue is: close the screen recording software, load Burnout Paradise, Alt+Tab ↹ out, then run the screen recording software. If this is not effective, you may need to uninstall the screen recording software entirely.
– Users with the CL Eye Driver installed (to enable support for the PlayStation Eye Camera as a webcam) will encounter crashes when loading Burnout Paradise.
Currently, the only solution is to uninstall the CL Eye Driver entirely. You may encounter further problems even after doing so, so you may have to experiment with trial and error by closing some Windows Services in the Task Manager, then running Burnout Paradise.
– Nvidia graphics issues – Users with Nvidia graphics may have Nvidia’s Streamer Service installed (used for streaming to Shield).
You may have to end nvstreamsvc.exe via the Task Manager for the game to load.
– Windows 7 users have reported crashing when attempting to run the game.
To rectify this, set the game to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode, or Windows Vista SP2 mode. It may also help to reduce or disable Anti-Aliasing in the game’s launcher.
As a last resort, the game may be fixable by entering -multithread into the launch options.
– Controller not recognized at launch – Delete controls.ini in folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise, and restart game
– Shadows rendering issue – On some system any in-game shadows may not cast on objects, i.e. street lamps, roofed area. Additionally if shadow quality set to Medium or High, The shadows may become bugged and cover the entire area of the map with shadow maps. Update graphics driver, or make sure the game uses any non-Intel GPUs
Issues only occurred with certain Intel GPUs, there are currently no fixes nor workaround for users with Intel graphics
