In case of game malfunction caused by any third-party mod you should fully delete and then install the game again according to these steps:

1. Uninstall the game from the "Programs and components" menu in the control panel.

2. Manually delete the folder, where the game has been installed (if it will remain after uninstallation).

3. Delete folders "Multisoft" and "Forward Development" from your "My Documents" folder.

4. Install the game again (using the latest distributive from our official web site) and surely run the distribution kit with administrator privileges (right click on it and choose "Run as administrator" in the context menu). During the installation process you should agree on installing all additional software, because it's necessary for correct program operation.

I see what the problem was for it. It was just that my game was a higher version than the car from 3DI.

I have been playing this game for a few days, I bought the game off of steam , and I am having some problems with it! I am playing it on a nitro five acer gaming laptop, when I try to enter free driving mode, I hear some sort of noise in the game crashes and give me some kind of error, how do I prevent this from happening, I just want to do is just relax and enjoy the driving of the game, but sadly no and it’s really frustrating and annoying. Going to the career mode, and has not crashed, but crashes when I’m doing free driving and that’s it. Could someone please DM me about the situation, I know how to prevent it from crashing on my nitro acer 5 gaming laptop? Thank you! Have a great night!!

Please note that laptops (any) are not officially supported.

You can try advices below, but we cannot guarantee correct game working on laptops.

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.co.uk/how-to/pc-components/how-set-default-graphics-card-3612668/

Also you can try these steps:

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.

Wow! It plays and runs just fine on my laptop! I don’t understand why it’s not supported, when I chose it on steam , It didn’t tell me that the game wasn’t supported. So I don’t understand that. But that is a lot of info! I think it might take me like three days just to figure this out! So I apologize! Someone told me I need to play the game and low graphics, to prevent the game from crashing, is that something I could do? Because I feel like I have antivirus called McAfee, which protects me from viruses, I don’t want My computer to have tons of viruses on, and I cannot turn that off! I have been wanting to play this for years, and I have the system requirements too!
