'''''Need for Speed Rivals''''' is a 2013 racing video game developed in a collaboration between Ghost Games and Criterion Games, and published by Electronic Arts. It is the twentieth installment in the Need for Speed series and the debut title for Ghost Games, who would be established as the primary developer of the series for all subsequent non-mobile installments up until 2020. Need for Speed Rivals is a racing game and features gameplay similar to earlier Need for Speed titles, such as Criterion's [[Need for Speed Most Wanted]] and [[Need for Speed Hot Pursuit]]. Rivals uses the Frostbite 3 engine. The development team opted to target 30 FPS across all platforms instead of 60 FPS, because of the AllDrive feature.
Players choose a faction Cop or Racer to start their own tasks. Players can switch between factions at a hideout (Racer) or a command post (Cop). Cops can choose different mission routes for patrolling, undercover, and law enforcement.

Need for Speed Rivals is a 2013 racing video game developed in a collaboration between Ghost Games and Criterion Games, and published by Electronic Arts. It is the twentieth installment in the Need for Speed series and the debut title for Ghost Games, who would be established as the primary developer of the series for all subsequent non-mobile installments up until 2020. Need for Speed Rivals is a racing game and features gameplay similar to earlier Need for Speed titles, such as Criterion's Need for Speed Most Wanted and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Rivals uses the Frostbite 3 engine. The development team opted to target 30 FPS across all platforms instead of 60 FPS, because of the AllDrive feature.

Players choose a faction Cop or Racer to start their own tasks. Players can switch between factions at a hideout (Racer) or a command post (Cop). Cops can choose different mission routes for patrolling, undercover, and law enforcement.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

GPU configuration

Setting Option Notes
ZCULL accuracy Relaxed Improves performance.
Resolution scale 100 Upscaling the resolution causes vertex explosions.
Shader mode Legacy (singlethreaded) Fixes misplaced bushes.
Write color buffers On Fixes broken visuals.

Advanced configuration

Setting Option Notes
Sleep timers accuracy As Host Slightly improves performance.
Read color buffers On Fixes missing lighting.
Handle RSX memory tiling On Only enable this option when using disable blur/MLAA patch, fixes broken visuals.
RSX FIFO accuracy Ordered & Atomic Helps with stability.
Driver wake-up delay 200 Fixes RSX crashes.

Known Issues

This game has issues with booting, however disconnecting the controller before launching the game may fixes this issue on some users.

Special Notes

Netplay testing
