As the title states I just bought a Origin copy of Need for speed Undercover and I haven't been able to get it to work at all beyond making a new profile.
Once I select the profile I wish to use the loading screen will come up and one or two seconds later it will hard freeze and requires using the task manager to get out of. I have let the game sit like this for as long as 10 min in hopes that it is simply taking forever to load but to no success.
Other things I have tried to get the game working:
Updated video drivers
Attempted to run the game in compatability mode in several OS as recommended by several online forums (Win98, WinXp Service pack 1,WinXp Service pack 2, and WinXp Service pack 3)
Running the game on only a single CPU core (I have 12 cores)
So far none of the above as worked or have gotten me any further in the loading screen.
I should note that several years ago I had a hard copy of this game but that copy and the computer that it was install/registered on was lost in a house fire some time ago hence the reason why I bought a origin based copy on my new rig.
What can I do to get this game running?
Relevent Computer specs:
Intel i7-3970X installed on a ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition Motherboard
16gb of 1866Mhz Corsair memory
AMD Radeon 7970 Ghz edition with 6gb GDDR5 memory
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
I am not lacking in power so this likely a software issue.
If no solution can be found I would like to start the refund process to return to my Origin wallet the $9.99 I spent on this title.
