Reinstall of NFS Hot Pursuit

Hello! I recently experienced a hard drive crash and I had to reinstall Windows and reinstall NFS Hot Pursuit. I don't want to have to start over from the very beginning because I have already reached Level 20 Most Wanted status and unlocked all of the cars. I originally installed NFS to a secondary hdd and I still have all my files backed up. My question is, what files do I need to replace so that I can pick up where I left off?

  • Hi! I have experienced the same problem, my hard drive crashed. I did make a backup but now I don't seem to find it. I wonder if your data is saved to the Origin account, so I can reinstall the game and just log into the account and get my lost data back? Best regards!

    Unfortunately not, there is a cloud saving option in Origin but it's not available for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.
    This option must be selected manually for the saved game.

    Here is an example:

    Launch Origin and go to your Library.

    From there, click on the Need for Speed Image and the [i] button for more details.

    Depending on how you are saving your progress you can restore your Saved Game (local) or Enable the Cloud if you have saved your game in the cloud.
