Very Long Startup Time on NFS

I'm getting very LONG loading times, to start up game.

5-10 minutes just to start game, before menu interaction screen appears, and music starts.

Black screen, during this time. (So I minimize, and multitask, until I hear the game music begin...several minutes later)

Also I cannot even Sign In to EA app, rendering any cache emptying futile.

Never been able to sign into the app.

Only seemingly inside EA app, when running NFS from Steam, then app loads in background.

But it won't open on screen.

Whenever I close NFS, the app momentarily appears on screen, only to close within a few seconds.

During this brief time, I can see friends added, and friend requests.

But that's it. I cannot use the app.

This game has given me much grief, with countless problems upon problems, upon problems.

See I'm not the only one, as many of my EA friends, and people on this forum say they too are plagued with problems.

Many gamers just GIVE UP, and throw the game to the side (they STOP playing), then leave poor reviews on Steam or PS5 etc.

This drastically affects overall sales, by jeapordising the public perception of the game.

But this is a great game, with great potential.

I never previously visited this EA page, beause I assumed I would NOT be able to sign in, since the EA app never allows me to login outside of steam launch.

(I've tried using my EA login & password but it never works, also tried pressing steam button, using steam sign in on EA app, and it fails)

I am surprised my password login works on this EA forum, which brings me here.

I have many bug reports to make. On behalf of many gamers who won't bother reporting because of all the tedious obstructions needing overcoming just to do so.

Will return to report the long list of bugs soon.

    @Donjuanism0 

    If you are noticing the hard drive being slow in other areas outside of this game, it may be possible the hard drive is in "limp mode" and is about to fail.

    As usual, you should be backing up important data from the drive but this is especially important if the drive is at the end of its life.

    Thanks.
