Update:

So I've tried a lot of things.


1) Uninstalled NFS Heat, and Re-installed. Still didn't launch.

2) Uninstalled Origin, and Re-installed. Still didn't launch.

3) Disabled Anti-virus. Still didn't launch.

4) Followed EA's instructions here:
https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

5) Performed a "Hard" uninstall:
https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/manually-uninstalling-origin/

6) Disabled all network connections that were not needed.

7) Uninstalled some unnecessary apps running in Windows Services.


Now, the game appears to start! (Whoop! Whoop!),
but now I get a black screen, and nothing... it just stays like that until I force close it. LOL!

Nothing, brother, always happens to me, the game starts with a black window, there it stays if I start as administrator, nothing comes out, not even in the processes.

thanks for your input.

Same! Black screen, I can hear the audio though...

Ahhh, I got it to work! In your Steam installation folder, locate the game's EXE file. Program Files (X86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Need For Speed Heat -> NeedForSpeedHeat.exe. Now, right click on it, and choose Settings (sorry, got Swedish Win 10, not sure what it says in English)- bottom choice from the drop-down menu... Choose compatibility tab, and tick Disable Fullscreen Optimization. At least it worked for me, I hope it works for you guys too! You can then switch to full-screen in-game...

[Sam Stone]

Oh, and don't run as administrator, it doesn't work... At least not on my Win 10...

Sorry, I don't know English, I use the translator, I have this option unchecked anyway, it just leaves me in a black window.

Finally got the damn game to work!

To get past the black screen, I downloaded Origin:
https://www.origin.com/zaf/en-us/store/download
and installed it from there.

Once in Origin, click on "Origin" --> Application Settings --> Origin In-Game:
Disable "Enable Origin In-Game"

Then start NFS Heat from Steam

This has worked for me a few times. Sometimes I have to go into the steam file directory and start it from the NeedforSpeed.exe file. Somtimes things work sometimes they don't. I blame origin. I hope theyre keeping an eye on things and provide an update.

You need this option CHECKED. It's working for me.

I can't believe my problem is created by the logitech hub with the closed one, everything works fine since I have it, it gives me the problem again. thanks
