[Windows 10] Disney Pixar Cars 2 game crash fix

Disney Pixar Cars 2 (2011) crash fix

Problems

  • Black screen
  • Music loop stuck
  • Computer freeze (needs a full reboot to work again)
  • Can't play more than one mission

Tested & fixed on Windows 10

Requirements

  • PsExec
  • Steam or game path (I tested directly with Steam)

How to

  • Open a terminal with admin privileges
  • Download PsExec, and unzip it
  • Go into PsExec unzip folder
  • Into terminal :
.\PsExec.exe -a 1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe"

At this point, Steam works only on CPU 1. After that, start your game. Enjoy 🥳.

Will it affect other games?

Maybe... I had the problem only with this specific old game, 4 years ago 😅

Appearantly, it only works for once, I have to do it before playing the game. Thanks!

Yes, I confirm that you need to do this every time.
