Hey everyone,
Need for Speed is freezing on launch. I can make it to the play menu, and then it freezes in the loading screen.
I have an error that pops up behind the game saying my graphics card is crashing. So I updated the drivers, and it is still doing the same thing.
Currently running AMD Radeon HD 6870
Any solutions for this, or ideas how to make it run the game? Or am I looking at a new graphics card?
Community ManagerMake sure your hardware is not overclocked or factory overclocked.
Make sure your system meets the system requirements:
Minimum Requirements for 720p30 at low settings
OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later
CPU: Intel i3 6300 @ 3.8GHz or AMD FX 8150 @ 3.6GHz with 4 hardware threads
RAM: 6GB
DISC DRIVE: DVD ROM drive required for installation only
HARD DRIVE: 30GB
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 750 Ti or AMD Radeon™ HD 7850 or equivalent DX11 compatible GPU with 2GB of memory
DirectX: 11 Compatible video card or equivalent

ONLINE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS: 192 KBPS or faster Internet connection
I'm having the same issue and my computer does meet all the minimum requirements. The game crashes after about 30 secs after the game loads. The screen stops moving the sound constantly repeating. The error pops up then I restart. I got about 2 hours of game play in when this started. Now the game has become unplayable. I have updated my pc and have re-updated my graphics driver twice now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW my pc specs are as follows:
OS: 64-bit Windows 10
CPU: Intel I7-4770k @ 3.50 GHz
Ram: 16GB

@Penguin_RhythmYou could try to install an older version of the graphics driver just to check if that resolves the issue and then update back to the latest one.
You can find driver packages here (each is around 450MB) - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx

Performing a clean boot and a clean video driver install (potentially with an older driver set) can also help prevent this error.
When I say clean driver install, I mean that AMD user should use the clean uninstall utility before running the driver setup.
Nvidia users have a check box for clean install when custom/advanced driver setup is chosen.
