Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit Remastered Crashing Shortly After Launching

Need for speed hot pursuit launches with a black screen and after 4-5 seconds it immediately crashes saying:  I have the game on Steam for clarification. If needed, my pc specs are i5-12450H / 4...

    At last, someone's advice from reddit worked for me! Here it is:

    "I know this post is old but I had the same problem. I would launch the game, get a black screen for a second and then it crashed silently. I noticed everytime I launched the game though, it would also make my 2nd monitor go black screen, but not my third monitor.

    FIX : So after that I figured it must be resolution and/or window mode related. I went in the config file "config.NFS11Save" located in Documents\Criterion Games\ and changed DisplayMode from 0 to 1 and that fixed the crash."

    While this did work for me, for some reason the game freezes every now and then for 2-3 seconds and everytime I press esc or enter (for example when selecting races) the game freezes for 2-3 seconds like it's going to crash. But, at the very least, it now launches and I can start a race despite those freezes.

Were you able to resolve the issue? Was EA support of any help?

Nope, this was their reply which didn't help. I said the reply didn't help and I needed further instructions but no replies yet. It has been three days since my last message to them.
