In summary, there have been reports of texture problems and memory leaks in the PC version of Need for Speed Shift Unleashed, with some players experiencing solid black textures on cars, roads, and the sky. This issue has also been reported in another game, Star Wars The Force Unleashed. To fix this, it is recommended to check that your direct x drivers are compatible with the software and to disable "surface format optimization" in 3D application settings, as advised by other players on forums. This has been reported to fix the problem completely.

I've been having texture problems and memory leaks for the PC version of need for speed shift unleashed. Sometimes the textures on the cars, and on the road, and in the sky, are all solid black.

I had this same problem with star wars the force unleashed.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? What might be causing this problem?

Some tracks are unplayable because much of the road has been "blacked out."

I went into CCC and disabled "surface format optimization" in 3D application settings.

This fixed it 100%

Someone on another forum advised me to do this.
