xx.xx.15.4251 Intel Driver Need for Speed Heat

So today I just downloaded Need for Speed Heat for Windows 10 and my first session played perfectly fine. However, once I came back to the game after saving and quitting, an error message pops up that says "Detected Intel driver version #1 26.21. 14.3153 07/12/2019 00:00:00 #2 26.20.100.6859 04/30/2019 00:00:00 . the recommended driver version is xx.xx.15.4251 or later. please updated your drivers at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ before playing the game" I went to that link, updated my driver, restarted my computer, and I'm still getting the same error message. When I go back onto the same website in order to update it again, it says that everything is up to date, even though the error message doesn't say so. When I press OK on the error message, the game plays as normal but is extremely laggy and barely playable.The game was running perfectly fine with no frame rate issues. I don't know what is wrong or what went wrong between the period of me saving and quitting the game normally, but as it is now, it is totally unplayable.

  • Nevermind it fixed itself. My PC does meet the minimum requirements. Don't know why the error happened. Game runs completely fine with no notable framerate or performance issues. Sorry for the trouble and sorry for waiting so long to tell you!

  • I am also having the same problem with Heat and Payback. I just downloaded the game and all my drivers are updated but still, it says to update. The game is not playable as it is extremely laggy. I also meet the minimum requirements to play the game. Please help me.

    Hi @Racer-E505, The first issue I see is your Intel graphics card does not have a similar performance to the minium graphics cards (NVIDIA or AMD). Due to that you will most likely not be able to run NFS Heat.

    1. Hello good evening a few hours ago on 11/30/2024 I managed to get my Need For Speed Heat on Steam. I did the step by step to download everything correctly, I created an EA account to link it with Steam but I get an error with the drivers ( Detected intel driver version #1 31.0.101.4255 03/16/2023 00;00:00:00 . The recommended driver version is xx.xx.15.4251 or later . Please update your drivers at
      http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ before playing the game. Do you want to try and run the game anyway? There may be stability, performance or visual corruption issues ).

    It is worth noting that in my way of believing that higher than that version recommended by the error, I downloaded the most recent one and it gives me the same problem.

    I would like to know what I can do, can you help me?
    I am from Venezuela and I waited a long time for the offer to come out until 04/12/2024 to buy the game on steam and, thanks to a friend who bought it for me, I paid him in cash, he gave it to me as a gift and now I can “enjoy it” but with this error, how can I play it? I have been looking for about 1 hour and 50 minutes to solve the problem, but I can not find a way to not ruin my operating system, software, etc..

    I attach pictures of my processor, brand and model of laptop.

    [edit: email address removed] 
    this is my email in case I can't answer here due to power problems, but I'm almost always using that email for my college assignments.
