Issues unresolved

The game gets stuck on certain loading screens

At certain times the game may get stuck loading at specific parts of the game, such as when loading a race or in the start menu it stays with "ASSEMBLING TEAM". although there are some possible solutions to this problem, it has not been verified if it works on different equipment with different specifications.

Turn off "Physics particles"
The same fix works with NASCAR '15 Run NASCAR14.exe Go to MY NASCAR - OPTIONS - GRAPHICS SETTINGS. Select Disabled in Physics particles. Save settings.

Disable Nvidia Optimus

Lock the game at "60 FPS"
Run NASCAR14.exe Go to MY NASCAR - OPTIONS - GRAPHICS SETTINGS. Select 60 FPS in Target FPS. Save settings.

Delete the folder NASCAR 14 from Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eutechnyx\NASCAR 14 through regedit.

If one is unable to modify the graphic settings due to the previously mentioned error, this solution is a recommended workaround. Search for the executable Registry Editor in Windows. Run the program and select the Yes option. Look for the following path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eutechnyx\NASCAR 14 Delete the NASCAR 14 folder When asked if one want to permanently delete this key and all of its subkeys, select Yes Exit the “Registry Editor” program and run NASCAR14.exe. It is recommended not to select NVIDIA GPU or NVIDIA GPU ULTRA and instead keep the default settings.

Run the game in window mode and make the game window as horizontal as possible
