NHL 14 PC - RPCS3

i7-6700k @ 4.5GHz
GTX 1060 6GB
16GB RAM

[@FrenchNToasty]

The game is still a bit slow sometimes on 5v5 but other than that it's pretty good. Menu is actually faster than ps3.

[@liammiddleton3064]

Hew what kinda specs do u need on your pc to run this?

[@FrenchNToasty]

@@liammiddleton3064 CPU will most likely be the bottleneck, I have an i7-6700k @4.5GHz and it's at 100% usage. I haven't seen it use more than 8GB of RAM (I have 16GB). For GPU I'm not sure. You can always lower the resolution so I don't think it matters too much what card you have. Official requirements are 64 bit OS and CPU, 4GB of RAM, OpenGL 4.3+ and Vulkan capable GPU.

Thanks im lookin at a AMD ryzen 9 3950x cpu right now but then i heard the next gen CPUs are coming out so ya

[@KISS_MY_CONVERSE]

i have a i7-6700k @4.00GHz processor and this game runs at 18fps. How does your game run so well????????????????????????????

[@FrenchNToasty]

@@KISS_MY_CONVERSE could be the rpcs3 build, the latest build is a bit slower for me too

[@liammiddleton3064]

Ive got NHL 19 on Xbox 1 x in 4k and i stiil like NHL14 more

[@Seriouspup]

i can get the game to run fine but the audio is crazy glitchy any tips?

[@rynoxgd]

Every time I load this I get about 1-2 FPS during games and load screens. help?

[@Joshiiie77]

Yo wtf you have NHL 14 on pc? Link plz

[@rynoxgd]

@@Joshiiie77 bro that’s piracy no. Plus I have the disc for it that’s why.

[@Joshiiie77]

@@rynoxgd You still care about piracy? Why the fuck buying games when you can get them for free? All errors can be fixed.

[@rynoxgd]

@@Joshiiie77 thats illegal my guy

[@Joshiiie77]

@@rynoxgd Fun fact : No one cates about piracy so why do you care? You can get any game you want for free and nobody gives a a single shit if it's legal or not. We don't get anything for that shit, so you won't get sue'd or so. It is your decision but I'm just telling you that piracy nowadays is nothing, because if it was 2002, i'd not even argue for it, but it's 2021. So yeah.

[@roguegecko5113]

would an i5 12600k with a 3060 ti and 16gb of ram be able to run this?

[@zhemanny]

sure

[@-Karnage]

Any tips on getting this to run better? Only runs at about 20fps for me

[@FrenchNToasty]

I think trying earlier builds might help, make sure to close anything you don't need running that is CPU bound, if you can, overclocking might help but it probably won't provide more than a few fps increase. 5v5 is still slower than on ps3 for me so I just do shootouts or team practice. I heard newer CPU's run it better. I hope you find a solution that works for you.

[@oklol6886]

the game doesnt get passed the loading screen for me, it just says compiling pipeline object 0/1

[@FrenchNToasty]

I'm not sure... try rendering with vulkan, if that doesn't work, try a different rpcs3 build.

[@oklol6886]

I didn’t have the option to do it with Vulkan despite me having it downloaded. And I’ve gotten to the point where there are failures and the game just goes black.

[@oklol6886]

Since I have no option for vulkan I just hid disable and it looks like it works, I can hear music as well as I’m not getting errors, but of course since it’s disabled I can’t see anything, any idea of ho to get vulkan in there

[@FrenchNToasty]

@@oklol6886 I'm not sure, does your gpu support vulkan? If not you can try OpenGL but it's much slower.

[@cobyturpin9619]

@@oklol6886 hey whenever I try to start a game. It doesn’t get past the starting lineups loading screen, do you know how to fix this?

[@ivangoldner4916]

Can you help me. When i open game it starts normally but it says EA online connection problem. how to fix it?

[@FrenchNToasty]

Can you send me a screenshot? You can't play online modes as far as I know.

[@ivangoldner4916]

I fixed that. But i have new problem. It is bagging a lot. I have 3fps. I have gtx 1050 and i5-7400 I play gta 5 online on very high but i cant play NHL 15. Please help.

[@FrenchNToasty]

@@ivangoldner4916 I'm not sure, sorry. It could be shaders, or maybe not enough ram. CPU clock might be too low, I have an i7-6700k at 4.5Ghz and it's always at 100% utilization when running NHL 14. Check in task manager if something is bottlenecking.

[@ivangoldner4916]

Yes it sais compiling shaders. I have 8 gb of ram

[@ivangoldner4916]

I looked everything even in task menager, and nothing

[@staticy4708]

When I go to a match it just shows black screen and then crashes can someone help me? 😭

[@FrenchNToasty]

I'm not sure what could be the cause. Would you mind sharing your pc specs and the build version of RPCS3?

[@staticy4708]

@@FrenchNToasty I changed the gpu rendering thing to OpenGL which makes me be able to see things and play the game whoever is is very laggy and I get around 20 fps max only in gameplay but the rest of the things are smooth. When I used to put it in vulkan it used to crash. So rn idk how to improve fps in OpenGL even tho I am being able to play this game Pc specs: Processor Intel core i5 11th gen (most prolly) Graphics card: intel(R) Xe Graphics RAM: 8gb System type: 64 bit Edition: windows 11 Version: 21H2
