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.
