If the performance hit is too big try changing some of the quality options to 1 instead of 0 specifically these.

OcclusionQuality=0
FilterQuality=0

For SSAO quality, you can also disable the filter effect entirely but it's better to try and reduce the quality of it.

Bloom shouldn't give much of a performance hit but motion blur quality might also be worth lowering as it's always active, unsure if depth of field is even working with this game but it's also very demanding in the titles where it works.

For less overhead also disable redundant effects like water and reflections and I don't think the shadow effect does anything either.
(You'll take a small performance hit just having the mod enabled but NV cards handle ENB better than ATI cards so you should be OK.)

In Vista, it's in c:\your username\Home\AppData\Local\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise\Save. For XP, I believe you'd check in c:\application data\your user name, and go from there.

See above for the place.
And that would be great if you can upload it.
Don't upload the AutoLogin file as that contains your login (Even though its encrypted so useless), I only need the Savegame Wink

Thanks.

A is easy? i found burnout extremely fun, up until i reached A. it went downhill from there, it takes way too many retries to finish an event, and all the fun is blown outta the window for me. i haven't started the game for more than a week, since i don't really find it relaxing or enjoyable anymore, just frustrating. i'm prolly gonna uninstall it soon because of this.

Getting the Elite license is the most frustrating racing experience I've ever had. I sucked at stunt events and could hardly get above 200 000 points and time limit events fucking sucked since you're bound to crash at those speeds and one crash = start over or you won't make it. I quit at like 60 wins to elite license, haven't touched the game for like 1-2 weeks.

yeah, the difficulty ramp-up is brutal. why is it so hard to let players decide for themselves how hard they want the game to be? i bet most people enjoy burnout for the adrenaline, not for the frustration, so it's a weird choice to turn this into a mix of extreme reflexes and luck. because having a shit ton of cars on the road basically reduces the whole thing to some sort of casino game.

Just got Elite hard work and the prize was definitely not worth it. All you get is poor looking gold skin for every car! Thats all! If I knew that I wouldn't bother.

Some time events were really hard, the one with F1 is based almost purely on luck.

Chase events get easy when you figure its best to just keep wallhuggin through whole course with not too high speed.

Stunt events were ok once I figured one good run, for the rest I just used quick boost to drive to it and then gain necessary points there. If you look from maps perspective start just left of the lowest bridge, get all three jumps and billboards on bridge, then just at the end of bridge go right, there is a road through aircraft carrier that has a lot of jumps, billboards and there is almost impossible to crash there. That should give you around x15 on score and then if you manage to score couple more billboards and jumps you can get up to two millions. Another important thing with stunts is that best cars for them are slower stunt cars like watson r-turbo roadster.

Crash events were the most frustrating. In the end you must crash 50cars! Again the best way for them is to drive to some part of road where you know what to expect. As little traffic as possible and no crossroads, jumps, highways...Then you must just hope you get to crash them.

that unlocker is a savegame. it may have all cars unlocked, but the difficulty level will prolly be maxed(elite or whatever), so it's not gonna be too much fun using the new cars Sad

a trainer with the ability to freeze the difficulty at b level, for example, would be cool.

Finished all the marked mans.

5 Takedowns left, they seem to cap at 40 takedowns.

38 races left in total, haven't touched a stunt run yet, they got very annoying last time, gotta ramp up more then 400,000 points in 1 min. Basically becomes an annoying run of using boost to drag out multipliers, and if you crash, game over.

Ok guys, I've got this annoying problem with the game, Reloaded release.

I have a x360 gamepad - Logitech Chillstream. It works like charm in all the games I have intalled currently on my PC, and it worked in BP too, for some time...

Some time ago I unplugged the device during the session in Burnout and played on keyboard. Don't asky why, just did. Now the game just won't recognise the pad anymore... or maybe I don't know how to turn it on again?

But after the time has run out, you can still complete that combo, or not? That means if you don't crash, you have like forever if you keep on boosting every few seconds to keep the combo up...
