- This issue is related to content streaming from hard drive and is likely to occur on slower hard drives.
- The issue may be avoided by allowing the game to use more RAM.[10]
Close unused programs (e.g. your web browser) |
---|
Install the game on SSD[11] |
---|
Disable ShadowPlay (if using Nvidia)[11] |
---|
Enable Windows 7 compatibility mode for the <path-to-game>/NFS16.exe file.[11]
