Thanks for sharing what you’ve already tried. Since Dead Space launches normally, this may be specific to NFS Heat’s launch through Steam, the EA app, or the AMD game profile.
Could you try these steps?
- Fully close Steam and the EA app, then restart your PC.
- Run both Steam and the EA app as administrator.
- Make sure you’re signed into the EA account linked to Steam.
- Verify the NFS Heat game files through Steam.
- Temporarily disable overlays/background tools, including AMD overlay, Steam overlay, Discord overlay, MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner, or recording software.
- In AMD Software, reset the NFS Heat game profile or reset AMD Software settings to default.
- Try launching NFS Heat again from Steam.
If it still won’t launch after this, please share a DxDiag so we can take a closer look.
