@Straatford87 When the game freezes (FPS goes down to 1 or 2) then it goes to a white screen and either of these happen:
1. I get a message saying I was disconnected from the game server, press Enter (or A on the controller) and it brings me back to the main menu and then I can play again until the next freeze.
2. I get a message saying I was disconnected from the game server, press Enter (or A on the controller) and it gives me an error message saying my region is not compatible with the game. I reinstalled Origin to fix this but even then it wouldn't work. I can't use the US English region on the game, I have to use French to avoid this. This is particularly annoying.
3. The white screen stays on and I have to force quit the game from the Task Manager.
For both 2 and 3 I need to also force quit Origin from the Task Manager otherwise when I try to restart the game it takes a long time and then Origin tells me an instance of NFS is still running even though there is nothing in the Task Manager.
I believe me killing Origin is what made the "crashes" that you see in the DxDiag.
Sometimes but rarely I lose all control on the PC and cannot even use the Task Manager forcing me to hard turn off the PC. This has happened twice before I formatted. Not since.
I used both Cat 6 Ethernet Cable and a Asus Network card for Wifi with a strong signal. I use VPN and other online games without any connection issues. My internet is not very fast but stable enough.
I tried disabling Origin In Game before formatting but didn't try it again since. I don't believe it's that simple but it's easy enough to test it. I also disabled UAC and I have no antivirus, only Windows standard Firewall.
Hopes this helps you finding the issue in the game and fixing it.
