Issues fixed
Map chunks fail to load on time / falling through the ground
- Many gamers still report this to be an unsolved issue[9]
- 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]
|
|---|
| Disable Windows DVR (if using Windows 10)[11] |
