NFS the run launch freeze fix
Hello people. I'll be short here. For those of you who try to play NFSTR with EA app either offline or online (does not matter), and you click to start the game....game launches.... you see intro.... you press enter after prompted and the game freezes...... then in case you have already blocked the game's connection in your firewall, also try to move the game in like C:\EA games or any name you like, in case you keep your games to another drive as I do.
For some reason it plays nice when it is on C only. I tried several methods before I end to this solution and it was the only it worked. No compatibility, no admin right, no fullscreen optimization disabled, no magic tricks and hocus pocus are needed here. And in case you have RTX dynamic (Nvidia users) then disable it through Nvidia app for this game (not globally if you want it).... NFS games seem to hate it.
Hope I helped....cheers.
