Update Notes
Environment - Night race intros
You’ve reported long loading screens before the start of races, and we have made an effort to reduce these. While we hope you’ll notice this improvement, you might also notice something else.
When you play after the update, the visual effects will be less spectacular during the intro and start of a night race. More specifically, there’ll be no fancy lights, smoke, fire or spectator’s cars. While this isn’t ideal, we wanted to improve the stability and reduce loading times in the short run, and we are aiming at bringing back these effects in a future update.
Well, it's time for me to play as much night races as possible before this downgrade happens.
Who knows when these effects and details come back... 🤐

Crashes & Freezes
Additionally, we fixed some other instances where the game could freeze or crash, which should increase the overall stability of the game client.
I'll report back on this one to see if random FPS drops and stuttering still persists or not after the update launches.

TheRealJony This patch does nothing. Was excited till I saw it doesn't fix anything real.
The update didn't happen yet. lol
There's still 7 hours to wait for PC, 8 hours to wait for PS4, and 9 hours to wait for Xbox One at the time of this posting.

I played the game for a little while after the update launched. After a certain amount of time passed (without the game crashing), the random FPS drops and stuttering still happens. -_-
You are right GDUBZ1.
We lost the night effects and details for nothing.

I have not seen complaints on this forum about long loading screens before the start of races.
I had not complained about long loading times myself. The races loaded fine for me on PC before the update.
I noticed the game loads slower after pressing enter on the start screen after the update. The game loads faster after pressing enter on the start screen before the update.
Same game is still broken will not be playing it again
Me too, loading screens not an issue, framerate not an issue but the game constantly crashes and freezes for me since i bought the damn thing and now it's so bad that it won't even make it in to the garage after the first loading screen..since buying nfs heat for me it has worked probably around 3 times good with no issues but now it's just broken completely..too make that even worse aswell i now have lost all my money and cars and the only thing i have left now to show all my work is my rep so i will leave it now until there's a new update/patch...not worth the risk anymore
