need help:

AMD FX 8320, R9 270 graphics, 16 gb ram, win 10.

The game runs fine for about 5 minutes, then crashes....to a blank screen and the only way to get out of this is to totally turn the pc off. No keys, nothing works, just the fans spin and spin....

what couuld that be ????

You can try the following steps to resolve most performance issues:

If your PC has both – discrete and integrated video cards, then maybe the game uses the integrated one for some reason. Try forcing the game to the dedicated one – right click on the game shortcut and select Run with GPU <your dedicated video card>. Or if you don’t have this option in the context menu, you can follow these advices – www.techadvisor.com/how-to/pc-components/how-set-default-graphics-card-3612668/

1. Install DirectX and Visual C++ components from this folder manually, go to this folder -
"...Steam\steamapps\common\City Car Driving\_CommonRedist\" and install all the components from there.

In some cases this folder can be located in a different place - "... Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared".

2. Update your video card driver to the latest version from your video card manufacturer's website.

3. Update your sound card driver to the latest version from your sound card manufacturer's website.

4. If you're using a racing wheel (or any other controller), update its driver to the latest version from your controller manufacturer's website.

5. Turn off any antivirus or firewall software.

6. Check the game cache integrity in Steam client.

7. Turn off the Steam cloud profile synchronization for City Car Driving – open your Steam client, click on City Car Driving with right mouse button and choose “Properties” from the context menu. Then open the tab “Updates” and there turn off the option “Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for City Car Driving”.

8. Delete the folder "Forward Development" from your "My Documents" folder.

Then run the game again.

ok, this seems to be your standard procedure /answer.

I dont have the steam version...so where do I get the right / recommmended version of visual c++ and direct x ?

still crashing.....all drivers up to date

The folder path for the non-Steam version is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\City Car Driving

no steam folder in my computer.....

C:\Program Files (x86)\Forward Development

There should be a City Car Driving folder, within it there will be _CommonRedist
