The game does not start with an error
1.MSVCR110.dll is missing
MSVCR100.dll is missing
An error of this type occurs primarily due to an incorrectly installed Microsoft Visual C++ component. Reinstall it and the problem should go away. If the problem persists, check the presence of files in the folder with the exe files of the game.
2. Error in the text which is one of the words: dx, directX, dx_diag_d3_d11, dx11
An error of this kind indicates a problem with the DirectX component - install it again. Also, an error with this content may appear if you run NFS Rivals on Windows XP or on an old video card.
Adviсe:
If you are running Need For Speed Rivals on a laptop with 2 video cards, make sure that you are running the discrete video card and not the built-in one.
Check that the time on your computer is correct. Very often, due to incorrect timing, many problems appear with games.
Run the game as system administrator
If you have an x64-bit system, try running the x86 shortcut.
If you play on a TV, change the method of connecting the TV to the computer, for example to DVI/VGA.

If you are faced with the fact that Need for Speed Rivals slows down, crashes, Need for Speed Rivals does not start, Need for Speed Rivals does not install, controls do not work in Need for Speed Rivals, there is no sound, errors pop up, Need for Speed Rivals does not saves work - we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software
Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, drivers specially optimized for them are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.
It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of unfound and unfixed errors.
Do not forget that for stable operation of games, installation of the latest version of DirectX is often required, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.
Need for Speed Rivals won't launch
Many problems with launching games occur due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.
It also doesn’t hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode for different versions of Windows.
Need for Speed Rivals is slow. Low FPS. Lags. Friezes. Freezes
First, install the latest drivers for your video card; this can significantly increase the FPS in the game. Also check your computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE). If before starting the game you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.
Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the post-processing settings. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly improve performance without significantly affecting the picture quality.
Need for Speed Rivals crashes to desktop
If Need for Speed Rivals often crashes on your desktop slot, try to start solving the problem by reducing the quality of the graphics. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot run correctly. It's also worth checking for updates - most modern games have a system automatic installation new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.
Black screen in Need for Speed Rivals
More often than not, the problem with a black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your video card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is a result of insufficient CPU performance.
If everything is fine with the hardware and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT+TAB), and then returning to the game window.
Need for Speed Rivals won't install. Installation stuck
First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for the installation program to work correctly, the stated amount of space is required, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk. In general, remember the rule - there should always be at least 2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or may refuse to start at all.
Installation problems can also occur due to a lack of Internet connection or unstable operation. Also, do not forget to pause the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.
Saves not working in Need for Speed Rivals
By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a documents folder, which is located separately from the game itself.
Controls not working in Need for Speed Rivals
Sometimes game controls do not work due to multiple input devices being connected at the same time. Try disabling the gamepad or, if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If your gamepad does not work, then remember that games are officially supported only by controllers defined as Xbox joysticks. If your controller is detected differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).
Sound not working in Need for Speed Rivals
Check if the sound works in other programs. After this, check whether the sound is turned off in the game settings and whether the sound playback device to which your speakers or headset is connected is selected there. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound there is muted.
If you are using an external sound card, check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.
2. Try turning on Origin before starting the game. The store itself may become inoperable in the future (you will have to reinstall it).
To avoid needing Origin, change the crack (step 4).
3. Try using this program. First, launch the game, minimize it, run the program, set the resolution and open the game in the game by pressing F3 if it doesn’t work yet.
4. If you are using a pirated copy of the game, you can change the crack, for example to one of these:
5. It may also help:
Some players experienced a black screen in Need for Speed Rivals only when the game was maximized to full screen. To enable windowed mode, try pressing Alt+Enter.
6. Some people find it helpful to run the x86 game file, run as system administrator, or install DirectX.
Despite the fact that a few points ago there was advice to enable Origin, try disabling it (different players are helped different schemes- there is no unique working medicine).
On English-language forums they advise turning off the firewall for the game and clearing the Windows startup list.
7. Change your screen resolution. Either first, before launching, or after launching, minimizing the game.
How they advise you to do it yourself Electronic Arts while they investigate the problem:
Launch Need for Speed Rivals and as soon as you encounter a black screen, press Alt+Enter to switch to windowed mode.
You should see a display in the game, a cutscene, but you cannot influence the game in any way from the keyboard. After the video has passed and you need to press Enter, press Alt+Enter to first return the game to a black screen, and then press Enter (The fact is that with a black screen, keyboard actions are perfectly understood by the game).
After this, press Alt+Enter again to see the game, the tutorial should begin. Now, every time you are asked to do something with input, press Alt+Enter, press the required buttons, and then return the game by pressing Alt+Enter again.
After the tutorial mission is completed, press Esc to exit to your map and use the PgUp button to select Settings and turn off full screen mode in the settings. (If PgUp doesn't work, try changing the layout or try again after pressing Numlock)
After completing these steps, you will be able to play Need for Speed Rivals without a black screen, albeit in windowed mode, until an official fix is released. (Use the program from step 3 so that the window is full screen)
It should be noted that Need for Speed Rivals works very poorly on a TV - there are problems with scanning and stripes. Try connecting to a monitor or connecting the TV to the computer via a different cable, such as VGA/DVI
