Need For Speed Heat Crash/Freeze PC

I have the same problem. I have monitored the cpu, gpu, memory usage and network capacity. There is no problem there. When the game starts to lag and get a frame rate of one image per second, the game use almost no cpu, gpu or disk. And there is plenty of room in the internet connection. Is it EA's servers that cant handle the load? It certainly isn't my computer that is the problem. This is a bug in the local installation or a problem at EA's servers. I have been warned by gaming friends for EA's bad pc support. I am about to join that choir.

Same here already added 21h in game with no problems but after that I got out to make a race and the game crashed ! 

Well the sound was there but nothing was moving and after some time I got the crash report.

Tried to relaunch it the second time it started but it felt buggy and then it happened again while mid-race.

The third time it didn't even launch I was stuck in a Black screen that goes for ages ! ( Did that again just to confirm the problem was still there) 

Things that I tried 

Clear Origin cache 

Used CCleaner (for some reason EA is saying to try it out)

Re-Boot

Check if any updates are needed (nothing was needed)

Currently am trying out the "repair" tool in origin to check out for the files (for some reason it takes ages)

Last thing yet hopeless I'll try to re-install (fingers crossed) 

(BTW all this things on PC as well so...)

Hello guys 😬

My crash counter  just got to 20

And yea, sound in the video is coming from the freezed game.

Previous 2 times game crashed istantly without freezing or showing any error reports, this time a had to alt+f4. Also after the game was closed this sound remained and it disappeared only after exiting from origin.

This is third night in a row with game crashing in the middle of the race. Of course without saving any progress, so 2 hours of my life are completely wasted. This game became imposible to play through. Instead of choosing between going to garage or risking being caught, I choose between going to garage or risking get the game crashed. This is hilarious.

I hope developers are awared of all this mess.

Yes, I'm running evo X, maybe will try another car tomorrow. But if the evo is the reason it becomes even more ridiculous. What is it? Early acces? Or pre-replease beta?

That is exactly what happened to me the sound kept going and had to go to the task manager to end both NFS and origin

Plus the repair method kind of worked the game didn't got stuck on the endless black screen but I had to face worst issues such as endless loading screens on online mode and solo mode 

so that made it unplayable.

I was waiting for about 5 minutes on both modes and still nothing showed up !

Now 2 minutes ago I uninstalled the game and try to re-install it again ( another 6h for download -.- ) 

I hope we have any news from the devs because that is crossing lines!  

Also I have many CrashDumps in Documents/Need For Speed Heat. Many but... Game definetely crahsed way more times

My son has played 3 hours this afternoon. Almost no freezing-problem today, only a few times and only for a few seconds. I hope this is the new standard behavour. :-)

*PC player as well* The first day was perfect for me. No crashing, no stuttering, no freezing, etc. I primarily used the starter E30 M3. Got to about Rep level 12 with no problems in anything. 

The last two days have been another story... I'm not sure if it's to do with anything, but I purchased a Mitsubishi Evo 9 and upgraded it. Since then I've gotten freezing; which led to me having to force close via task manager and complete crashes to my desktop. 

It happens all the time now. Seems to be random, ranging from every 5 minutes to every 30 minutes. It's thankfully saved all my progress (minus what I was doing in that moment) but the most recent time I was hit with the "Online save doesn't match local save." I decided to not sync them and just use the online save since I had heard stories of people finding all their stuff gone after that. I never lost anything.

I have since purchased the Mustang GT and it was still crashing, but not as bad. I sold the Evo thinking that was the correlation, but I'm still freezing and crashing. I switched back to the E30 M3 and the crashes have significantly dropped, but they aren't completely gone. 

Last night I purchased an NA Miata and upgraded it. About 10 minutes into free roam with it, there was a crash to desktop. I got pissed and shut my computer down. 

I've updated my drivers, reinstalled origin, reinstalled Heat; but alas, nothing has solved the issue. I has opened up my weekend to play and it seemed like half of it was fighting these launch bugs which sucks.

I don't think in game cars are a problem but sure losing progress is a huge pain here but what I think is something is going wrong with the files.

It's my second day not being able to get in the game i re-installed the game and is not even starting up ! 

At first I was kind of facing the situation you are dealing with right now I was able to play like a dream the first day but everything became a nightmare yesterday I tried the repair method in origin and I had 4GB that needed repair. After that I uninstalled the game and re-installed it.  

Right now am still doing the same repair method for the past 4h and there are 20GB that need repair after a fresh download. 

Reminder: The whole game is almost 30GB and 20GB need a repair after a fresh re-install so this might concern the devs a little from the whole game only 10GB actually work?

I don't know what is going on and I don't like that the devs are not sharing any information but what to say ! EA will always be EA it reminds me a lot about BF5 it took them 1 year to realize what was going on !
