2 save files for NFS Payback

Hi,

So I bought the game (For PC) and wanted to play it with my wife, but even tho she has a different windows account on my PC (same physical PC) the game launches the same save file so we cannot both play our own story. I can not find option to load and save a different save file? I am not prepared to buy another copy of the game, and if there is no way to make more than 1 save file you can be assured that in future I will not be buying even 1 copy

    We don't condone Pirated versions of anything.

    We are strictly talking legal paid games only! 

    Doing such activities like pirated materials is a Federal Crime.

    I highly suggest you and your wife just buy another copy of the game and protect yourself from Government or U.N international  prosecution if caught with pirated materials. 

    Sadly, this is how many game developers are making games these days.

    I know man its frustrating when you have more then one person in your household that wants to play the same game and same story line, but the game company's  force players to choose buying more copies or to choose to just walk away from such companies.

    I do wish you all the best in whatever you do choose or decide where to shop for all your future games. 

    EA they never thank us, but they sure do put us over the coals of fire allot when it comes to coughing up our hard earned money. 

    Have a blessed day and take care.

    Thanks for asking a fine question.

    Unfountaly you would have to buy another copy of the game if you & your wife wish to play your own story lines.

    One copy per purchase is the rules! 

    Hope this helps you in your answer, even if it's not what you wish to read.

    Hope you can still credit me for the solution and 1 xp point. 

    Have a Blessed Day.

    did a bit of research online and found out that with a pirated version it is possible to play 2 story lines on the same game, feels like they want people to pirate their games instead of buying. I for sure will be spending my money elsewhere if this is how they treat customers who want to support the developers

    First... I feel sorry for you for wasting money on this * game... as I did.

    To play 2 different story lines you will need to create an backup to your save folder and delete the save file on the game's route directory (Documents>nfs payback>save game) and also disable "cloud storage" option in Origin client.

    Repeat the same steps when your wife enter game too.

    Don't listen to these EA's propaganda monkeys... you don't need 2 games in your account... you will face the same problem 🙂) You need 2 games and 2 Origin accounts but don't bother. 

    I was banned for saying "try cracked version before wasting money on the window" to an undecided player 🙂) 

    DON'T BUY EA PRODUCTS!!!

    TEST PIRATED VERSIONS IN FIRST PLACE!!! 🙂)
