STUTTERING/SLOW TEXTURE LOADING
The only way i found on how to fix this is to INSTALL THE GAME ON SSD
I mean its 2024, why would someone install AAA game on HDD?

*Yes it's NOT needed, but for this specific game, SSD does HELP a LOT.
USE CUSTOM USER.CFG
  • go to your NFS HEAT installation folder (default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Need for Speed Heat)
  • create a new cfg file using notepad
  • add this:
    Thread.ProcessorCount 4
    Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4
    Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
    Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
    GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4

    first line is number of your cores
    second line is number of your cores
    third line must be set to 0
    fourth line must be set to 0
    fifth line is number of your threads

    So, for example im using an i7 7700HQ (4c/8t), the number from top to bottom would go like 4,4,0,0,8

  • Save it as user.cfg
  • Done

If you're lazy, try using this CMD

LOWERING CPU USAGE
1. Use BORDERLESS mode
  • While ingame, go to graphic settings and choose BORDERLESS
    *I dont know why but borderless made my cpu runnning on 50% usage (on fullscreen it was around 90%)

2. Disable STEAM OVERLAY
  • Go to steam library
  • Right-click on Need For Speed Heat
  • In general tab, uncheck "enable steam overlay while in-game"
    Using steam overlay made my cpu run around 70% usage and 50% without overlay

3. Messing up with .exe properties
  • Go to your Need For Speed Heat installation folder
    (Default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Need for Speed Heat)
  • Right-click on NeedForSpeedHeat.exe
  • Click on properties
  • Click on compability tab
  • Click on check settings for all users
  • From there, use windows 7 compability
  • Check the disable fullscreen optimisation
  • Click on change high dpi setting
  • Check the override high dpi scaling behavior and set it to application
  • Done

    You can also choose between using windows 7 compability mode or not

Going borderless made my cpu go from 100% load to 60% load thanks a lot!
Weird that this game is so buggy with cpu performance, recommended is i7 4790 oldy, i have an i5 12400 and it still goes 100% load in fullscreen mode weird unoptimized game.

Since the inclusion of VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library in DXVK and my vulkan driver this game has been very consistent with Proton. Perhaps Windows people should consider using the latest stable build of DXVK provided their vulkan driver has that extension?
