Need for speed heat Blackscreen

Need for Speed not launching just blackscreen windowed mode I installed it on steam first did not work then I installed on origin through steam still doesn't work  when I open the game it is like this on task manager an when I close it then it goes to background processes or under origin I'm going to try to reinstall in origin trough steam because it worked with my friend. I managed to play for a couple of days but then suddenly I started getting blackscreens again. I am considering to download it on my SSD because I made enough space

PC specs:

Intel core i5 8400

GTX 1070

1x8 2666mhz RAM

Game is installed on a HDD

nfs heat

    It does work if you install on origin through steam so when you have done that go on origin, my game library, NFS heat then press the settings button then repair, wait for it to be done then I'm pretty sure you can launch it successfully every time if not you could try repairing it again. I have not tried launching the game with the shortcut or steam so just launch it with origin

    Hopefully this works for you guys because it did for me

    Hey @TEXANHER0  make sure that all drivers for windows are up to date, also worth to reinstall the GPU drivers for your PC.

     

    You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with Need for Speed: HEAT and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.

     

    Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

    @EA_Aticit works when you download with origin and through steam but not when you download with steam and through steam if that makes sense. I manage to launch the game sometimes but other times I still get a black screen in windowed and yes all my driver's are up to date, thank you for spending your time on helping me 🙂

    Having same issues. Working fine one day then boom. No good. I f-around and re-load Origin or do repair game etc.. some time is launches. But one and done - I gotta F-around again and see if I get lucky.

    All drivers are current and its a fresh windows install.

    This game is cool to play but all the hassles...

    How do I install it through origin if I already installed it on steam?
