PC: Update 1.5 = Killed my FPS @ any Resolution

Howdy All: I have only been playing the game for about a week now. I had been playing the game @ 2160P with graphics' set to ULTRA and was getting FPS @ 30 - 35FPS. At times my system felt like it...

@Alowgo Okay I talked to a technical support rep from EA. And he helped me get the game close to where it was before. At least it's playable now. Here try these steps...

First clear the Origin cache. Follow these steps...

https://help.ea.com/en-in/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

Then after you reboot your PC. Go back into Origin, login, and select Update on the NFS Heat game. It should automatically say you already have the newest version.

Then go to the cog and select Repair. This will check the files and repair any that are corrupt.

After I did this the game was able to run smoothly like it did before the patch.

Additionally, if this doesn't work. You can try adding the following command line argument without quotes "-MaxSimFps 60 -ForceSimRate 60 "

Add this in the advanced launch options in the Need for Speed™ Heat Deluxe Edition Properties under command line arguments.

Let me know if this helped you get the game back to normal.

Cheers,
Gene

Howdy UB3RBOSS:

Thank you for trying to get my game running better. I tried both of your recommendations and either of them did anything.

But it does not matter what I do my game refuses to run higher then 25 FPS.

Before 1.5 update I was getting 30-35 FPS @2160 and game in GeForce Experience was 1 notch above Optimal.

Now after update 1.5 all I get is 20-24 FPS. Also it does NOT matter if I lower the resolution to 1920x1080 and GE set to Optimal and I still only get 20-25 FPS @ 1080P.

So for me something is very wrong here and I can't seem to fix it.

So unless Ghost/EA does something on their end, my game play is done and I got to play for 1 week @ the cost of $101.49CAD!!

Thanks a lot GHOST/EA, this is the most expansive game I have ever bought!

Thanks you agian UB3RBOSS for your help.

Later

    @AlowgoHolly cr@p you're right. I just loaded up the game to play and again same issue. 20-25 fps. I dunno what happened last time that it started working, but now it's the same da@m issue.

    I think it has something to do with the Frostbyte 3 engine, because the new Star Wars game is doing the same thing.

    I'm canceling my subscription and asking for a refund. This is bullsh1t.

      Star Wars is making me crazy as well. I get 40-50 FPS without CPU or GPU load going above 80%. I don't know if there are any updates for it, I had to "try" it first after my Heat experience. *cough* The last thing I wanted to do was spending more money for a very poor gaming experience. ^^ It definitely has to be the engine. I have no problems with other games. If there are FPS drops, there is always GPU load spiked at the top, so there is a reason! Not like SW or Heat... :-/

        @Tomiss13 It's for sure the FB3 engine. What setup do you have cpu+gpu combo?
