Re: DirectX Error

@giokou

Right click and run the following as an Administrator:

Origin Games\Need for Speed Payback\__Installer\directx\redist\DXSETUP.exe

Origin Games\Need for Speed Payback\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vcredist_x64.exe

Origin Games\Need for Speed Payback\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vcredist_x86.exe

Origin Games\Need for Speed Payback\__Installer\vc\vc2015\redist\vc_redist.x64.exe

Also, as above, if you are running TeamViewer, it will be worthwhile to try the game with out that.

    Barry did you read my post carefully?
    I have allready tried everything mentioned in this whole topic!
    The fact is that I sold the 2 cars that were affected and I won't use them anymore. Yesterday though, something else happened.
    After 2 hours of gameplay and while I was at the tuning shop rolling some parts, the game crashed with no error message and and the screen went black and I couldn't go to the desktop! So I manually restarted the pc and played 3 more hours without error!!!
    My lord this game's coding is so poor!!
    The devs must really look into this and fix it.

    You have several logical hard drives, do you have Origin and your games on C:\ ? Most importantly Origin though.

    If your machine is a laptop, it may be worthwhile getting the video drivers supplied by the PC manufacturer

    Did you add the video card yourself? Is it in the correct PCI-E slot?

    Well, C is an 120GB ssd and E is an 1TB hdd. I don't have any game installed in C, only win and progs. So Origin is installed in C and NFS in E.

    I have a desktop and not a laptop. Yes i added the gpu and yes in the correct PCI-E slot! I am doing this for a lot of years, so it's not the hardware. It's a software issue, because many people have the error and they all have different hardware setups!

    FYI though, 12 days ago i changed gpu. Since February 27th when i installed and played the game for the 1st time and till 12 days ago, i had the Radeon HD7950 with no errors at all.

    Then i put on the RX 570 correctly (pci, drivers etc) and had no errors for 8 days, it was butter smooth! Then suddenly without me changing anything at all in hardware, the error pops up! I only upgraded the gpu driver to the latest (non optional)!!!
