Resetting Times
Awhile back I tried doing the 60fps trick to get my game to run faster, and it ruined most of my times. Can I get all of my NFS Rival track times reset?
Forum Discussion
What did you do exactly, did you change a specific game file?
Quick note about Answer HQ, this is a 'Players helping Players' forum but of course I am here to help as much as possible.
No files were modified, this was added to the command line / command line variables....
-GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+
What this does is force the game to run at 60 frames per second, the only problem with this is if your PC is not capable of maintaining the 60 frames per second, the timing gets all screwy and you end up with time's like this.... Screenshot below

As you can see, it has ruined my times. I no longer use the 60 fps trick, and whenever I read aboiut the 60fps fix, literally no one had mentioned that a side effect could be the messing up of ones times.
I would only need my times completely erased once, as I do not plan on using the 60 fps trick ever again. It would be well served to have a 60 fps trick note stickied to the top incase other people run across this issue. Or maybe some how a way,for us the player ,to reset our times on our own could be figured out.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I see. I have heard about this command but that was not something we've recommended, I did not know this could corrupt your times.
I don't exactly know how to undo this but I guess a repair install in Origin would work. If not, then you will have to reinstall the game, you'll then get the default settings. Before performing this step, you have to back up your game or use the Origin Cloud so your progress is saved.
To use Repair Install for your game:
Go to My Games in Origin
Right-click the game image
Select "Repair Install"I will attempt this right now and report back to you prompty. I would like to note though, that I have formatted PC and reinstalled the game fresh since this occured,and my times followed me thoughout that process. In my opinion that's more drastic of an option, but right now as I type this I am doing the repair game. I did not bother saving my progress, as that is of no concern to me. I can rebuild anything lost in terms of progress,that literally isn't an issue with me.
I will edit this post once it finishes repairing.
No luck, times are still wonky looking like 00:/+.0,
Since the times followed me all the way through a formatting of hard drive / reinstall of game fresh , I am under the impression this data is stored somewhere on the backend (EA's end) and not on my end. It might require someone who has access to the servers to delete my times file/record.

So it's really strange because the command would just affect the local files if ever these files are affected, and to my knowledge this can only affects .exe or your shortcut.
Now if redownloading or repairing the game did not fix this issue, maybe adding this command instead would work:
-GameTime.MaxSimFps 30 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 30.0
Also,maybe you can try to launch the game from the game folder instead of the shortcut.
Other than that, I don't think it's possible to erase your current times (you could ask a game advisor though but I am not sure they can do this) but you can try to redo the race/assignement to see if that updates your time with a correct number.
