WARNING: Playing LA Rush can freeze your computer

[AlexKVideos1]

When I was playing LA Rush on PCSX2, it almost froze my computer. I happen to hit a wall at a fast speed, and the whole computer became unresponsive. I was lucky that ALT F4 was able to shut down PCSX2. This is a warning for other who want to play the game, and for the developers to try the game to run a lot more stable.

And the PC edition has Starforce DRM. It is like playing this game is impossible

You can still play the game in software mode and on your PS2.

My PS2 no longer reads discs, and software usually is a lot slower. So looks like I won't be touching this game anytime soon.

Try running it at native and see if it still crashes. Keep an eye on your VRAM usage as well.

It doesn't necessarily crash. It has VRAM spikes like GT4. Native resolution shouldn't be that bad.
