Haunted Game

[eclispse]

 

My PC:

Acer Predator Helios 300 (2019)

i5 9300h 2.40GHz

1660ti 6gb GDDR6

32GB RAM dual channel 2666MHz (upgraded from a single 16gb stick)

 

So on my PC this one game (Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005) is just not launching, I have tried compatibility settings, running as admin, running in 640x480 and all the other normal stuff like restarting my PC, reinstalling my game (from multiple different sources, I even had a friend upload one copy to Google Drive even that didnt work) and after all the bullshit I put the exact same build which was not working on a pen drive and used it on an older PC with Windows 10 on it and it worked just fine one that. Then I downloaded Need For Speed Carbon 2006 which came out a year later and that worked completely fine! Im convinced this game is fucking haunted if you can help me out please suggest in the comments below

Too new hardware. No joke too new hardware or drivers can simply cause a game to just not work.

Is your game patched to the latest version? Most recommend you have the v1.3 patch installed.

Yup

Since most solutions which usually help run the game didn't prove effective... a silly suggestion would be to just reinstall DirectX 9 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean will this affect games that run DX10/11/12, no it won't.
