Need for speed Heat, ground textures missing, error msg on launch and terrible in-game performance.

K1NG_BATMXN — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 15:59:58 GMT

To start here's my pc specs
AMD Ryzen 5 5500
16gb 3200 ram
1tb nvme SSD adata legend 800
Arc A580 Asrock oc edition
-The case has good airflow, haven't seen temps over 75ish on the GPU.

The textures on the side of the road are missing and this is all over the map
The game takes long to load at times and is quite stuttery throughout gameplay, everything from driving to clicking pause to moving in the menu to even moving the camera around. The game at ultra settings also doesn't smoothly keep fps over 60.

Here's the error message I get when I launch the game.

Here's the driver version that's installed.

Here's the texture issue.

Good day,

1. Textures are missing all over however, the stuttering doesn't happen during the cutscenes

2. Started from the time I got this PC built, it doesn't happen with other modern nfs games

3. No, from the start till the last driver it's been happening

4. Ive tried changing graphics settings, running it in dx11 through steam, comp mode to win 8, removing drivers with ddu and reinstalling them.

5. Yes, I usually use DDU when new drivers are made available.

6. Yes, I've changed settings

7. I sent 2 or so screenshots on the community post (would a new one be necessary?)

8. Steam

I did send an email previously, however, it seems it didn't go through properly. I apologise for the delay.

Kind regards,
Ahmed

Hi K1NG_BATMXN,

I've checked this and saw that you're reporting 3 different issues:

An error message prompts to update the latest graphics driver.
Stuttering.
Missing textures.

The missing texture issue is a known problem and is currently under investigation by our team. We are actively working on a solution and will keep you updated on any progress.

Regarding the other two issues you've mentioned, I need to conduct further investigation. The stuttering issue, in particular, was present in our A series, and we need to explore it further in our B series to understand its root cause. To assist us in replicating and diagnosing these issues, I kindly request the following information:

Your current game settings, including resolution, graphics quality, and any other relevant configurations.
CapFrameX logs with a minimum of 3 minutes of gameplay. These logs will provide us with valuable insights into the performance and help us pinpoint the problem.

To address and focus on the issue that you're reporting, please create a separate thread for the first and second issue and I will be addressing the missing ground textures in this thread. This is necessary to avoid any confusion and to pinpoint the exact solution for each issue.

Please send here the links of the threads so we can address it.

If you have other questions, please let me know. Thank you.

Best regards,
