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 / 4060 Mobile GPU / 16GB Ram and the game is installed on a SSD.
I've tried;
1-Deleting and redownloading EA play several times (I can't reinstall the full game because Im on mobile data but I tried something else of equivalent)
2-Changed my GPU from hybrid mode to dedicated GPU only
3-Verify game files through steam (multiple times)
4-Launch in compatilibility mode for win 7-8
5-Launch as admin
6-Launch with the disable fullscreen optimizations option in compatibility settings
7-Changing cpu affinity by unchecking the cpu0 box
8-Closed all overlays that could affect the game
9-Disabling all apps on startup section
10-I entered my EA and Steam accounts to a friend's pc and tried from there, I could play the game with no issues but when I tried transferring the game files from his pc to mine after uninstalling the game it did not work.
11-Deleted the config file and some other files that were advised but I don't remember which ones (I replaced them back after testing)
This game launched without issue a while ago but now this problem occurs with several other players reporting the same issue lately. Help.
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.
