Need For Speed 2015 - Stuck on "Press Space to continue" screen

@DukNguyen

Your GPU is a bit below the minimum requirements which might lead to issues in-game.

Other players did state that if they pressed Alt + Enter that they were able to get into the game. Could you try that and let me know if that helped?

Hello Tom,
Nah, Alt+Enter is not working, I even tried to force it to run Windowed by putting -w and -window parameter to shortcut. Not working.
Maybe am I using wrong parameter?
Anyway, I forgot to mention, that always, when i launch NFS, there is a Intel Warning Window, that pop up, saying I should update Inter drivers(already updated to actual version).
Isnt that sign, that I didnt set my Nvidia card as a MAIN card for gaming? Or does Intel warning window pop up always, even If i have chosen Nvidia card for gaming?

@DukNguyen

Hi,

You are correct - that is a sign that you didn't set the correct card to run. The following article details how you can set up a gaming profile:

Hi again Tom,

I have already set gaming profile(enclosing screenshot), unfortunatelly, still not working.
I mean, that Intel Warning STILL popup. I need to be sure, that this popup window is sign of "wrong setting of gaming profile".
any other solutions? Would it help if I send you that dxsomething log? I dont know link tho,

@DukNguyen

Adding a dxdiag could help - right-click Choose File after selecting Reply to upload the file to me.

I've also found the following information specific to your issue and laptop:

There it is(enclosed)
By the way, there was error message when i ran dxdiag -
"DxDiag has detected that there might have been a problem accessing Directshow the last time this program was used. Would you like to byppass DirectShow this time?"
if i dont bypass directshow, dxdiag will crash. Does it affect our problem?

btw, i have enabled nvidia activity monitoring, and as you can see, nvidia IS "rendering" need for speed.

@DukNguyen

Thanks for the dxdiag.

Do note that your 660M doesn't fully meet the requirements to run Need for Speed. This means that even if you can get the game to load with the proper graphics card, that it might not work - the dxdiag showed several crashes for NFS16.

Other than the errors, everything seems fine in your dxdiag. That only leaves me to refer you to the two help articles by Lenovo that I linked to properly setup your Nvidia card on your system.

Hi there, i'm having the same problems with my laptop, i've provided a dxdiag.
