Need For Speed Carbon Black Screen

Shame on EA - just download my working config-file from HTTP://www.olivergeffken.de/config.zip

and replace yours in User/Library/Preferences/NeedforSpeed

Regards,

I was running it on 10.4.10 without problems. Now updated (via upgrading) to 10.5 the game starts but soon the graphics crashes and displays with errors. Also the game crashes and force to quit doesn't work. Anyone having troubble with 10.5 and NFSC?
(obviously running on my iMac)

I also have problems playing NFS:C on 10.5. My problem is a little different. When I try to run it, I get an error that says "You can't open the application "Need for Speed Carbon.app" because it is not supported on this platform".

I am running on a Mac Pro, 2x Dual core 3Ghz, 5GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 7300.

I also tried going to EA's support, but they are hopeless.

It also worked fine for me on 10.4.

Just installed 10.5.1 and a graphics firmware upgrade for the Radeon HD 2600 Pro on my iMac. Nothing solved yes. Same graphic errors which leads to system freeze.
I've tried deleting the config from prefs folder and still nothing.

I've got the same failure. Black screen, normal sound, Leopard 10.5.1 on a MacBook Pro C2D. Nothing on EA's website.

You don't know how much I thank you for this. Works even better than it does on Tiger! I tried to download config files from anywhere but they were no good. I was starting to think I won't be able to play it anymore.
Worked fine for me

You're welcome - only a few tweaks in the d3dgl and opengl part of the file...

Regards

Any clue why it has no support for motion blur and other advanced features?
thanks

thank you for posting this, but tit still isn't working for me.
my preferences directory is named differently ( User/Library/Preferences/Need for Speed Carbon Preferences)

am i missing something?

ok, instead of just replacing the old file i copied and pasted the contents of the new file into the old file and saved. Works like a charm.
thank you very much.

Great fix, I guess as long as I'm playing a Cider game, I need to become a Wine hacker as well.

On my MBP, keeping "NV_VAR"="N" seems to improve performance just a bit.

I don't know you but if there's something I hate is the NFSC Mac icon. So I've made a few...

I just installed this game and am having the same black screen and full sound issue. I replaced the prefs file with the config from above but it still doesn't work.

Little help?
