@Lonegraywolf75What folders, or was it just for the folder that heat is installed in?
Update:
Found a resolution, for my system. Basically I went into the ransomware protection and went to add an application through folder protection, then I selected recently blocked and whitelisted all those which were game related, Then I closed out origin completely and relaunched as administrator at which point I received an error about can't install games in current directory, after this I closed out the origin client and went to also allow the origin app access to protected folders. After this I was able to play the game get to the first checkpoint after character selection and then when I exited the game I went into the game properties via origin and under the cloud saves I was able to select save. From this point on I was able to continue playing and progress was automatically saved. Hope this helps others.
Same here I lost 6 hours of game time today I'm not playing until they patch it
- 6 years ago@Hondforce1991 same here dude. Just follow what Wl2ECKLESS said about white listing through the "Manage Controlled folder access".
Allow these through Controlled folder acess
Origin.exe
Need for Speed Heat.exe
Touchup.exe (it's in the nfsh game folder)
Then turn off the ransomware protection and you'll be good to play again!
