I think you'll have to run the Origin version for better fps, or search around if someone has found a solution. exe folder and then opening the game via steam, but the game won't run. exe of the game it makes it run via Origin. I tried it again and the method no longer works.

or if i really wanted to play the origin version i forced to installed both copies ( steam and origin lmao) any ways to run the game without origin? btw the origin version is much better Give it a try and you'll know :) when i launch the game it's only run the origin instead of the game and the origin only look for 'SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED' folder ( the steam version is 'Need For Speed Shift 2' ) it's probably because of the newer version of origin that made the game should run with origin. But I don't think there has been any updates to such an old game, so it would be likely it still does work. Originally posted by DestroyTh圜urse:Can't say for sure, I haven't played the game in quite a while. The Steam client only looks for the 'shift2u.exe', that's why this works. Rename the 'SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED' folder to 'Need For Speed Shift 2'. copy the 'SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED' folder in your Origin installation folder to your Steam installation folder. Rename the 'Need For Speed Shift 2' folder in your steam installation folder to something else, or remove it for extra space, i don't care it works either way. Download the game on Steam so your steam client thinks the game is installed. Now let's get to the part where i tell you how to fix it: I hate Origin, so i would like to play the game via Steam, So i'll tell you how to play the Origin version of the game via Steam. However, in the Origin version my FPS is in the 90-144 range. In the Steam version i get around 30-50 FPS.

When you buy the game on Steam you get an activation code to activate the game on Origin. The Steam version for some reason uses a lot more cpu, therefore your gpu is bottlenecked. The Origin version of Shift 2 is slightly different than the Steam version. I play at 2560x1440 so i would really like to see 144fps. As you can see, my pc should not be the problem.
