Greetings everybody who is having this problem with this game. I bought it a few days ago and had same problems all over the place, but there is interesting thing I have found! Sometimes when I get stuck like all of you does in any other way it sometimes got out of that freeze and continue the game as normal, aprox time when it was getting back from freeze was from a few to about 20 seconds. Next thing is that those damn random disconnects that is happening with host migration and stuff... I though what if you DC, but something happens in server and it just hangs you in the game without proper reconnection and forces game to freeze. So what I done is simple: Block NFS Rivals in Windows Firewall from access to internet (how to do it google it). After some short testing everything looks working fine and random freezes gone for good (for now). Although I want all of you to reply here if it worked for you or not! Have a good day and I hope it will fix it for all of us.
This solution, Block NFS Rivals in Windows Firewall, it worked for me, thanks.
With that you lose the "core" of the game and that is the online part, limiting or forcefully disabling a games function just to make it work is not a solution
Somewhat I agree, but... the core online experience for me personally was not fun at all. Mostly there is about 6 people playing in the same server with me. The most common thing you will get from them is that they only want to wreck you intentionally as Racers and avoid racing with you when you challenge them to "Head-On" race by just ignoring you or just driving they're own ways. As COPS yes they hunt you until they get bored of it or just can't keep up with you or even Bust you. As Cop you won't catch the majority of players properly because they abuse the repair system and will drive around the repair shop whole pursuit just to constantly fix they're car (never ending pursuit...) so there is no fun by trying to chase Players as COPS too mostly. AND constant host-migration processes is annoying. So I personally prefer single player exp then this online *. Thank you for reply tho.
