in nfs heat, the videos (not the cutscenes) are lagging in video and audio.
In nfs Heat, the videos like the one you see everytime you launch the game is lagging both in video and audio. I have no issues when playing in-game I bought the game in steam and it's launching through EA Desktop App with steam running in the background. - I deleted the cache of EA app and steam. - I deleted the temp file of my pc. - I tried reinstalling the game. - Adding the user.cfg file. nothing works ;-; Here is a clip to show you what i mean : https://medal.tv/fr/games/nfs-heat/clips/1Uk6EmrwmmfsSH/H3OhTbBtkKil?invite=cr-MSx3Q2MsMjE2Nzc5NzMwLA It's lagging a little bit when i go from the settings to the menu (with the car in the middle of the screen)Solved4.5KViews2likes15Comments“Underground 3: Fan Proposal for the Future of NFS
Hello Need for Speed Team, My name is Stan, I am 35 years old, and I have been a long‑time fan of the Need for Speed series since the early releases. Some of my favorite titles are NFS Porsche, Most Wanted, Carbon, The Run, and especially Underground 2 — a game that many players still consider one of the strongest entries in the franchise. I would like to share several ideas and suggestions that, in my opinion, could help shape a future NFS title and bring back the atmosphere that many fans remember and appreciate. 1. Open World It would be great to see a large and diverse open world that includes: - a big metropolitan city, - mountain roads and canyons, - industrial zones, port, airport, - forests, fields, coastal areas. Dynamic weather, time of day, and seasonal changes would make the world feel alive and engaging. 2. Cars and Customization A wide selection of vehicles from different eras and classes: sports cars, muscle cars, 4x4, modern models, and cars from the 90s and 2000s. Many players would appreciate the return of deep visual and performance customization inspired by Underground 2 and Carbon — with expressive street‑culture styling and a strong tuning identity. 3. Story and Game Structure Fans still value the narrative style of Underground 2, Most Wanted, and Carbon. It would be great to see: - a career mode, - free roam with spontaneous street races, - events that can be found directly on the map, - a mix of structured progression and open‑world freedom. 4. Race Types Classic modes such as drift, URL, circuit, sprint, drag, and other iconic race types would add variety and depth to the gameplay. 5. Visual Style and Presentation Many players would like a more classic, realistic visual direction without: - cartoon‑like effects, - exaggerated stylization, - an overuse of cutscenes. A grounded, atmospheric style would resonate strongly with long‑time fans. 6. Legacy and Community A game inspired by the spirit of Underground 2 could unite both new players and those who grew up with the classic NFS titles and are now in their 30s–50s. A title like Need for Speed Underground 3 would immediately signal a meaningful continuation of a legendary chapter in the franchise. Thank you for your time and for continuing to develop a series that has influenced so many players over the years. I hope these ideas will be helpful and contribute to the future of Need for Speed. Respectfully, Stan64Views0likes0Commentsneed for speed most wanted 2005

Hello, I was playing the NFS Heat online for a while, but then my internet had problems for about one week, so I was forced to play the game offline. During that time, I progressed through many stages and made a lot of progress in the game. After my internet connection was fixed and I entered the game online again, the game showed a message saying that the game files were corrupted and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, I accepted this by mistake. After that, all the progress I made during the offline period was lost, and now I have to start the game from the beginning. I spent a lot of time and effort on that progress, and losing it is really frustrating. I would like to know if there is any way to recover my lost save data or restore my previous progress.6Views0likes0CommentsNFS-HPR PC_HACKING & NINTENDO SWITCH
Could I possibly raise another concern with NFS-HP_RMSTRD. What can be done about PC people and seen some people on Nintendo Switch do it to drive Exotic cars in other series like Sports & Hyper and opposite a performance car in Super or Exotic. Not even able to bust them when they are stopped. Your weapons do nothing no damage and they have continuous. I’m by far a rising Novice to this game as well. It sure would be nice to enter a cheating detection so they are booted or exited from the lobby or game. A lot of this is because of cross-play and it ruins a lot for others. Especially those who are new to the game. Can we go back to the way gaming used to be straight up?5Views0likes0CommentsNeed For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered-Find Session stopped working Xbox
On 10/20/25 there was a aws outage and ever since then the “find session” no longer works for xb players. It will try searching for the first time but will stop soon after and each subsequent time the search is shorter and shorter until it just kicks you back to the online multiplayer menu screen. The only way we can play is to create a match. Please fix ASAP!1.3KViews8likes30CommentsAfter buying ultimate upgrade dlc i started getting issues

I finally got into trying to finish playing Need For Speed Unbound recently and after I finished the night time events for day 1 of the second week, I suddenly crashed with no explanation. I came back the day after only to discover that all the money I had made was gone and I had progressed to the next day without any of my earnings which was a decently hefty sum (for early game story mode). I then tried to bite the bullet and do some activities and races on the second day only to realise after doing almost all my activities that I hadn't earned any money at all. I had done so much and to my knowledge made a ton of money but now I'm not only losing out on that money and I can't redo the activities I did but I'm also softlocked from continuing the story mode because I can't make any more money anymore, I'd prefer not having to reset my game completely but at this point, I'm kinda annoyed enough to just do it and play through the missions again :/26Views0likes1CommentNeed for Speed A Legacy-Driven Future Concept From a Long Time Fan (client)
Dear Electronic Arts / Need for Speed Team, I hope you are doing well. I am writing as someone who has played Need for Speed since childhood and who deeply respects what this franchise represents. Need for Speed shaped my love for cars, speed, and street culture at a time when I knew nothing about how games were made. That history is the reason I am reaching out. To be honest, I am also writing out of concern. I am afraid that we may not see another true Need for Speed in the future, especially while other companies continue to push racing games forward. I know Electronic Arts is a large and experienced team that has created incredible experiences for decades, which is why I hesitated but also why I felt this idea was worth sharing. This concept is inspired by both the direction of today’s world and the legacy of Need for Speed itself. The automotive world is rapidly shifting toward electric vehicles, automation, and AI-controlled transportation. While this evolution has its place, many car enthusiasts feel disconnected from it. Electric and robotic cars can feel efficient but soulless like toys rather than machines. Real driving, real sound, and real danger are slowly disappearing. Setting: The year is 2099. Governments have fully banned gas-powered vehicles worldwide. Human driving is illegal. Cities are built exclusively for electric and autonomous transport systems controlled by AI. Despite this, underground communities still exist. These racers, mechanics, and engineers refuse to let real cars die. Gas-powered vehicles are no longer outdated they are forbidden. Core Experience: The player is part of an outlaw crew that keeps combustion cars alive. Races take place at night through futuristic cities, abandoned highways, deserts, and industrial ruins. Every race is a risk, not just against other drivers, but against AI enforcement units designed to eliminate illegal vehicles. Electric AI cars are silent, precise, and perfectly coordinated. Gas cars are loud, aggressive, unstable and human. Narrative Drive: During a major underground operation, chaos erupts across the city. One of your crew members is captured by AI units after mass destruction and pursuit. Instead of ending the story, this becomes the motivation to go further to rise through the underground, unlock restricted zones, destroy AI vehicles, and fight back against a system trying to erase real driving. Legacy Element (Key Idea): As the story expands, the player begins discovering remnants of Like access parallel realities finally fuses , past Need for Speed eras. Entire cities once known for legendary street racing inspired by locations like those from Most Wanted, Hot Pursuit, and other classic titles are now locked, abandoned, or repurposed by AI control. You find former racers from earlier generations. Some are retired. Some are hiding. Some are old, bitter, or broken but they still remember. These characters once ruled the streets and now join the resistance in different ways: mentors, specialists, or even playable characters. At certain points, the player can switch characters, each with unique driving styles, histories, and emotional weight. This turns the game into a preservation of Need for Speed’s legacy not just cars, but people, cities, and stories that shaped the franchise. Theme: This is not just a racing game. It is about freedom versus control, legacy versus erasure, and saving the soul of driving itself and in a way, saving Need for Speed inside its own future. I fully understand that Electronic Arts receives many messages and cannot accept unsolicited ideas in detail. My intention is simply to share a concept born from respect for the franchise and genuine love for car culture. Thank you for the memories you created throughout my childhood and for continuing to inspire players around the world14Views0likes1CommentCops are so boring
I’ve been playing for a while now. Perhaps 20 hrs. The game is good, it it fun to race in and customise cars. But my god are the cop boring. In my last hour of gameplay I’ve attempted to start maybe 3 different events but couldn’t as constantly having cops chase me. I get that running away and taking them down is part of the game, but I play on the relaxed settings and they just keep coming wave after wave. I only get a few hours a week to game, and I would like to spend that time racing, not constantly taking out and running from cops.14Views0likes0CommentsNeed For Speed Hot Pursuit Xbox 360 DLCs
Hi, I have Need for Speed Hot Pursuit on Xbox 360, I'm looking to buy all 4 DLCs for that game but it seems they were delisted recently on April 2023 without any announcement. There are lot of gamers on a website called "TrueAchievement" looking for NFS Hot Pursuit Xbox 360 version DLCs. Can you guys able relist again? at least for a few weeks. It'll be definitely useful and boost its sales. recently server shutdown was announced for the Crysis 3 Xbox 360 game, Lots of gamers bought the game and DLCs to get those Xbox achievements. It boosted the sales for them. so I guess relisting DLCs of NFS HP will also be worth it. Hope this post will reach the respective NFS HP crew to know the situation and relist the DLCs. Thank You Regards, KasthuriGood game hampered by horrendous matchmaking
Ill start by saying i have had alot of fun playing this game with friends but.....Holy crap is the matchmaking the most terrible thing ive experienced in a game in a long time. At this time it is almost impossible to join into a online lobby with friends. Its literally a 1-100 chance to work. Instead you have to wait until your lucky and your friends lobby has only 15 people and doesnt get automatically inserted with a new player immediately. Oh and you cant be in your own lobby at the time because it must first bring you back to the initial lobby before loading you to your friends game. Usually by that time the server is already full again. and when you have 4 people playing this is an absolute nightmare. Millions of dollars this company makes and they cant get servers right? All this while also dealing with random crashes, races ending but im still stuck in the race with no hud and no option to pause and leave without force shutting it down, random persistent sounds that dont stop unless restarting game. This game coulda been something absolutely special but instead it ends up being mid tier because of the servers/matchmaking.31Views0likes1CommentNFS Unbound Error Code 6 & Error Code 9: "Unable to save file"

I’ve trawled the internet for an answer. I’ve just completed the main story to realise trophies hadn’t been popping while playing offline. This seems to be a prevalent issue I wasn’t aware of until too late. is there any way to get them to unlock without playing the whole story again, because there’s not a chance I’m doing that again?25Views0likes1Comment
