Driver 575 breaks Burnout Paradise City 3d Graphics

[agarplayerarlon]

Burnout Paradise City (the original one, not the remastered) uses DirectX 9.0c, and it seems to have broken on newer versions of the nvidia driver.

I remember back with the 560 driver I didn’t have this issue, I haven’t played the game since and now I’ve booted it up again with the latest driver 575.57.08 and the 3d graphics are completely broken.

the 2d graphics are rendered correctly, but 3d graphics are completely broken as shown in the screenshots here

And it’s not a proton Issue, I’ve tried both proton 10, 9 and even 8 and they showed this behavior, and 5/6 months ago last time I played the game I didn’t have this issue.

Hello, this game work fine without any issue for me. Rtx 2080 + driver 575. Maybe try reinstalling it?

now it works for me too, I’ve reinstalled the game because maybe some files got corrupted, and I still had some broken 3d graphics but it looked different, so I’ve decided to try and change the resolution because I have a 1920 x 1200 monitor, so I’ve set the game to be 1920 x 1080 and it fixed itself, and also setting the resolution to 1920 x 1200 back again didn’t break it, so it works now.

So I’ve come to the conclusion that this game is broken on a 1920 x 1200 monitor first boot and you have to change the resolution to fix it, and I didn’t think of this at first because last time I’ve played the game I was on a 1920 x 1080 monitor and it worked out of the box, lol.
