    Hi,

    No, you can't play or launch NFS Heat with your setup.

    MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

    OS: Windows 10
    Processor (AMD): FX-6350 or Equivalent
    Processor (Intel): Core i5-3570 or Equivalent
    Memory: 8 GB
    Graphics card (AMD): Radeon 7970/Radeon R9 280x or Equivalent
    Graphics card (NVIDIA): GeForce GTX 760 or Equivalent
    DirectX: 11 Compatible video card or equivalent
    Online Connection Requirements: 320 KBPS or faster Internet connection
    Hard-drive space: 50 GB

    Your AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 is 10 years old, mini requirement is 7 years old CPU (FX-6350).

    Your CPU do not have instructions like AES, AVX, FMA3, FMA4, F16C and has only SSE 4.0.

    FX-6350 has AES, AVX, FMA3, FMA4, F16C and SSE 4.2.

    If NFS Heat use one of the instructions that your CPU do not have, game will not run at all.

    Same answer for soberr219 and his AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T.

      I played Payback with the same PC,  played nfs 2015 with a 1GB video card, (replaced it with a 4gb card) all did the job. Launching nfs 2015 with that 1gb video card was a bit much tho, but it launched. When I click the nfs heat logo, ig doesnt do anything. So i dont believe thats thats the problem

        Won't run for me no matter what i do. 
        win10 Insider Preview (latest)

        I7 8700

        16gb ddr4 3000mhz

        2x 1080ti

        Tried running as admin, compatibility mode to win 8.. nothing seems to make it run, and it is driving me crazy. Worked fine this morning, played a bit, then I went to work, and now won't launch. Doubt my specs aren't good enough for the game. In the morning, it was running in 4k, almost everything on Ultra, in 60fps. 
        I get no directX errors, nothing
