So today I just downloaded Need for Speed Heat for Windows 10 and my first session played perfectly fine. However, once I came back to the game after saving and quitting, an error message pops up that says "Detected Intel driver version #1 26.21. 14.3153 07/12/2019 00:00:00 #2 26.20.100.6859 04/30/2019 00:00:00 . the recommended driver version is xx.xx.15.4251 or later. please updated your drivers at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ before playing the game" I went to that link, updated my driver, restarted my computer, and I'm still getting the same error message. When I go back onto the same website in order to update it again, it says that everything is up to date, even though the error message doesn't say so. When I press OK on the error message, the game plays as normal but is extremely laggy and barely playable.The game was running perfectly fine with no frame rate issues. I don't know what is wrong or what went wrong between the period of me saving and quitting the game normally, but as it is now, it is totally unplayable.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Nevermind it fixed itself. My PC does meet the minimum requirements. Don't know why the error happened. Game runs completely fine with no notable framerate or performance issues. Sorry for the trouble and sorry for waiting so long to tell you!

Also to note is that there was also a firewall prompt the first time I tried to reopen the game. I cannot remember what it said.
