Re: SOLVED!! - Game crash after few minutes

This is how I solved the problem:

- NOTE: Online functionality will be disabled, you'll still be able to play the entire game offline -

 

1) Go to "documents/criterion games/need for speed most wanted

2) Open the file "config.NFS13Save" with notepad or anything similar

3) The third line says "LockTo30=false". Change this to: "LockTo30=true"

4) Save the file (overwrite when asked)

5) Start Origin, on the top left corner there is the menu with "Origin", "Friends" and "Help"

6) Click "Origin" and choose "Go Offline" (third last choice down the dropdown list)

7) Start NFS;MW and enjoy 🙂

    LockTo30, merely limits your FPS to 30, try disabling this after completing the first race, and if you still crash, then the issue is with the game.

  • I know what LockTo30 does. 

    Somehow it seems that when the game is able to produce more FPS it somehow becomes unstable and crashes. Also the Autolog feature makes the game unstable.

    This clearly is a game problem, not a problem in my pc. This game should have never seen the daylight in this state. Something as unstable as this isn't even worth the status of "alpha build". And EA keeps wondering and wondering why so many people pirate their games. Open your eyes EA, people are fed up with paying sky high prices for games that probably won't even run flawless, if they run at all.

    Oh, and don't come and argue that pirating is a lost sale. If I pirated the game and encountered problems like this, I would have deleted the game and never even think of reinstalling it, let alone buy it. You can only make one first impression, and this game made about the worst first impression you can imagine...
