Re: Unable to Launch Steam Version of NFS Heat

Hey @FireStingray is this error appearing when launching the game from Steam?

Have you tried to verify the Steam installation and ensure that everything that should be there is there and is working as intended?

  • The error occurs whether I click play from Steam or from Origin. I have already tried verifying the game files as well. I have also tried deleting the game and initiating the download/install on Origin. Unfortunately, regardless of which launcher I use to start the download, Origin seems unable to recognize that the game is installed.  

    It might be worth noting that Steam itself is installed on the C: Drive. I have tried the following combinations:

    • Origin installed in D. NFS Heat installed in D
    • Origin installed in C. NFS Heat installed in D

    Now it is possible that both the game and origin have to be installed in C for it to work. At the time it was too much of hassle to move files around to make room for the game in the C drive and check to see if this is the case.  

    I feel like bringing back the "Locate Game" option is the solution to this problem. Again, it worked for Jedi Fallen Order. I don't understand why the option is now removed from Steam bought games.

    For the record I have already refunded the game from steam and purchased them on Origin. I would still like a solution though since I'm interested in purchasing more EA titles but I prefer to own the games on steam. I like being able to use Steam's controller configuration and in-home streaming functionality. I realize I can add non-steam shortcuts but it doesn't always work cleanly.   

    Thanks for responding
