GAME CRASH AFTER FEW MINUTES/SECONDS
I try everything, reinstall the game, modify and delete all the Dx12, update/downgrade the GPU Driver, change every settings, and put the game in windowed mode with 60 fps, absolutely nothing work. I modify all the settings of EA App too.



The game crash without error message, just a 5 seconds freeze then the game crash, these crash happen in game, in the menu or during loading.


If someone can gave me a solution to play this game ! Thanks !

@El Baltasar Maybe i found the problem. But i don't know how to fix it. The game crash when the CPU hit the 80 degres.

I think finally fixed the HIGH CPU usage; random crashing and freezing issues on Intel 13th Gen/14th Gen CPUs... This game doesn't seem to like the new INTEL 13th/14th Gen CPUs, because of the E-Cores. So, this will fix most of the issues ↓
I created a user.cfg on notepad with these commands and saved it on Steamapps\common\Excalibur:

Thread.ProcessorCount 4
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8
GameTime.MaxVariableFps 240
RenderDevice.VSyncEnable 1
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
RenderDevice.DxDiagDriverDetectionEnable 0
RenderDevice.StereoconvergenceScale 0
RenderDevice.StereoSeparationScale 0
sys_MaxFPS = 240
sysmaxidleFPS = 60
e_GsmCache = 0
r_VSync = 1


Also added this on Steam Launch Options of Need For Speed Unbound:

Thread.ProcessorCount 4 Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4 Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0 Thread.JobThreadPriority 0 GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8 RenderDevice.DxDiagDriverDetectionEnable 0

After, this I simply launch the game and when the game soon pops up, I open Task Manager and kill explorer.exe process and switch back to the game. After i'm done playing, I open Task manager again and run new process: explorer.exe
With this way I am able to play the game aslong I want, haven't had any game crash or my whole PC freezing after this at last :winter2019happysnowman:
