What players say
For anyone having issues launching the game my fix was pressing the windows key after you launch the game and to fix the audio bug i disable steam input for the controller and enable after and it fixes that. i figured this out because i have the same issue with Skate because of the anti cheat. Either way this is just my two cents it might not work for you.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
You have to talk about it when you play NFS, really good control and racing design, 8/10.
it keeps shuting on and off and when i try to open the game it turns on for a minute then only sometimes works
