Need For Speed Heat Crash/Freeze PC
From what i learned from the forum this problem is hilariouly common even on consoles. I was able to get pretty far through this game without any problems (excluding one random crash somewhere in t...

*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 !
Once the repair finishes up, would you mind reporting back on if it made anything better for you? I'd be interested in seeing how that large of a repair changes the game's bugs.
This is nonsense EA is not giving us any info for this yet, i didnt play the game for 3 days now because of this crashing freezing problem.
- @D4rKy28 It's pretty easy to be frustrated... I mean, I am too. But ultimately I think if we can all work together to give these updates and help the Devs find the problem, it will get solved much faster. It doesn't help that they have to sort though all the "omg my game doesn't work this is crap. I hate EA" because they know it's crappy. That's why they are constantly looking through these forums and replying with new things to test and potential solutions. They wan't to find a solution, but it's not as easy as just flipping a switch and saying it's fixed. I have a good amount of respect for the team right now because of how active they are to find a solution. It's definitely worth some credit in my book.
Same Issue and I am a PC user. This doesn't happen in any other game nor have I had a freeze or a crash in recent memory. So hope the team at EA hears us and understands the issue is there and theirs, not ours. The biggest frustration is when EA tries to put the issue on the end user solely.
My game keeps on crashing every 1-2 hours
I tryed different grafic settings (1080ti) nothing is working. Befor the first update i didn't have any problems. I have the feeling the crashes are getting more and more commen.
I've 2070 super, Overclocked and Apex and this both crash. Not sure why but annoying. On this game I drive a Viper with a * ton of decals on it :D
