Re: Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 not launching properly from steam

There was an update for a bunch of EA games on steam yesterday, and that broke this game. It seems a bunch of important files were deleted.

A temporary fix until there's another update is getting the missing files and redownloading them - I've detailed how to do that in this Reddit post. Let me know if this works for you!

This worked a treat. Turns out the EN_US folder didn't even exist in the first place
