Re: Performance went down the drain after June update

Hi together

I found what causing the issues 🙂

I have Acronis True Image 2019 installed as backup solution.

It come with a feature called "Acronis Active Protection", kind of a Anti-Virus, to protect that malware encrypts the drives or change the backups.

I added now the NFS Heat executable "NeedForSpeedHeat.exe" to the process list of Acronis Active Protection and allowed it to be freely executed.

Solved, game runs again with 50+ FPS at night races.

Thank you David to help my find the source.

    I had the same issue with the 2020 version. Thank god that setting was turned of by coincidence because I had to delete old back-up files. Yesterday I had the same issue and was planning to shelf the game till I got a better graphics card. Seems acronis was the problem
