- Though the game doesn't support EAX, Creative Alchemy still can be used to enhance sound quality. It will just enable hardware acceleration and 3D positional audio. Difference can be easily noticeable when music is off. For non-Creative cards users see here Run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to avoid crashing career mode then. Sometimes whole career need to be started again with compatibility mode and Alchemy enabled. It's to avoid disapearing car in career menu and crash after attempt to race. Compatibility mode can cause resetting of the game settings.
