NFS MW Freezing up

[hunter1717]

Verified my files they're good, just started doing this, only happens when cops are chasing me and there are a lot of cops 

not sure what else to do or how to proceed, I know my pc can handle it.

[jesalvein]

You mean it freezes then continues, or it freezes and crashes ?

[hunter1717]

it just freezes doesnt crash or continue

 its like when a ps2 disk was scratched makes frozen audio sound its so frequent its making the game unplayable

Please post a copy of the emulog.txt file so we can help you better.

Check Tools > Enable File Logging. If it is already checked, ignore this step.
If you ticked the box in the above step, restart PCSX2.
Click Tools > Open Data Directory to jump to your PCSX2 folder.
Reproduce your issue.
Close PCSX2, and do not open it again.
Go back to your PCSX2 folder. Open the logs folder, and upload the emulog.txt file to this channel.

I believe i followed your instructions correctly enabled file logging restarted opened open data directory, opened nfs mw back up got it to freeze again closed pcsx2 and copied and pasted emulog file

thanks again for your help

For the heck of it, try using Vulkan renderer? or software one? does the hang happen?

heres the official file

For the heck of it, try using Vulkan renderer? or software one? does the hang happen?

im not sure im new to this so im not sure what or how to do any of that sorry

[MrWizard]

Under settings -> graphics properties, change renderer to either Auto or Vulkan.

[hunter1717]

Under settings -> graphics properties, change renderer to either Auto or Vulkan.

tried both of those to no avail

[hunter1717]

You mean it freezes then continues, or it freezes and crashes ?

Not sure if this tells you anything or not but it seems just the game freezes i can still load saves and go back to my last save however if im in a hectic part of the game it will freeze shortly after
