NFS Heat stole my progress.
The game kept crashing within 20min every time I try to night race and almost everytime with day racing so I uninstalled...and reinstalled Everything (yes, I checked before booting up) because I couldn't think of anything else...my storage % is low and other things to reduce crash likelihood and others have had success at stopping the crashes for a while with this... but when I got to the garage it told me I'm not on the deluxe edition (I Am...) and that my F1 black market wasn't installed (it IS) so I can't use the F1 and it reset my black market progress...it uninstalled and reinstalled the black market bit just to be sure...I can use the car now...but all my black market challenges are still reset and the parts have been revoked. [Edit - CM] I'm not going thru that BS every few weeks because I have to clean reinstall to avoid the game constantly crashing.
I have a platinum on the game a lots of dedicated hours so good for you, ya got me hooked for a while. but I think I'm done. Between the audio bug bricking the game...the crashing...and now this...**bleep** it. It's not worth it for a game the company probably wants to kill off anyway. Congrats EA. It'll probably be (another) 20 years before I pick up a game from you again. (Last was Underground 2.)
