Hey there,

I have the ten-hour trial version, my game is keeping freezing for a second from time to time. Both in free roaming and in races.

Here's a clip showing what happens, please check at 05:57 and 06:22. As you can see I have no temperature issues, nothing is bottlenecking and the SSD usage is way below 100%.

This is my rig.

Case: BitFenix Neos

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600, stock cooler (no OC)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 2x8GB DDR4 3000 mhz

GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (Drivers version 431.60)

MoBo: Asus Prime B350-Plus (BIOS version 4023)
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB (OS) / Samsung 860 EVO 1TB (Games)

PSU: Seasonic Focus+ Gold 550W

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Monitor: Samsung S22C300 (FullHD - 60 Hz)

I play @ 1080P Medium preset with vSync enabled.

What I've tried so far:

- repairing the game via Origin;

- disabling Origin overlay;

- disabling vSync;

- using cCleaner to remove unwanted files;

- disabling Ambient Occlusion;

- changing antialiasing from TAA to FXAA;

- lowering graphic settings to the Low preset.

My only doubt is whether upgrading graphic drivers would help.

This had nothing to do with 1903 using it since the beginning its working fine.

The problem is need for speed heat itself on all platforms random freezings or crash to desktop is a known problem right now.

I dont touch this game yet until they fixed it.

Has to do something something with game files or decals that u can use on cars.

I'm having the same issue. After 1 or 2 races, the game crashes. This might be an Origin problem, I get the same crashes in other games like FIFA 20 and Arkham Origins as well.

For me, game is crashing right after when I complete the first race after selecting a character. If in fullscreen mode, I get a DXGI error and I get a black screen if I use borderless window mode. 

In both cases, I have to force close the game. I've tried a fresh driver install, disabled all overlays and also disabled fullscreen optimizations and windows game mode and game bar.

Nothing worked! Same crash in the same place every time!

HEY Guys,

I found a solution! 

Easzy Workaround:

Close Origin

Press Windows + R buttons and type "%AppData%" and click ok

Delite the Origin folder

Press Windows + R buttons and type "%ProgramData%" and click ok

Go in the Origin folder

Delite every subfolder and data, but do not delete the "LocalContent" folder!!!

Start Origin

Start NFS Heat

DONE
