Re: Need for Speed Rivals losing control of the game suddenly.

I was thinking about the problem, by the way i tried the clean boot, but it didn't work. Then i realized that the problem started after the last Origin (program) last update.

I play the game since 26/04/2016 and didn't have any problem, till the update of origin. I have others game like Battlefield 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition, and they are working fine.

But the problem with NFS RIVALS continues.

I'm not sure, but i think that maybe this update can be the problem... Unfortunatelly i dont know if i can dont update and use a old version just for test it. (if i have any possibilities of do it, please tell me.)

Any sugestions?

I think, should be possible that this update is the problem. What do you think?

@Austrainy

You won't be able to downgrade to an older version of Origin. The update shouldn't be causing such an issue either but I will keep an eye out for further reports just in case.

Since we've gone through most steps I would recommend to right-click Rivals in Origin and select Repair Game. If that doesn't work then do a complete reinstall of the game. Preferably while in a clean boot.

What gamepad are you using? The XBOX One controller has issues in this game, but the XBOX 360 controller works fine.

Are you * or this is the only advice you can give. Unplug everything and shut down everything... sound to me like Rivals is a virus or something.

I have the same issue. I haven't changed a thing. only redefined keys for controls because, let's face it, your default keyboard settings are *.

I can play well for about 5 to 10 minutes and then the game will just stop receiving commands from my keyboard, will still run but unresponsive 100%
