For some reason i cannot take a screenshot of the game. When i try to all i get is a black rectangle. Tried using default windows method of using 'prnt scrn' button and pasting it in paint, but to no avail. Also tried many 3rd party programs, they didn't work. And when i connect my PC to a TV nothing is displayed and the game doesn't start up and i have to forcefully shutdown my PC as everything just freezes. Can't even record the screen while I'm playing.The game is brilliant, but please solve this. Cheers.

@Delxysic Have you set the Power Options of your laptop to High Performance? At the same time make sure that you've setup a Gaming Profile so that your system uses the dedicated GPU, instead of the integrated one. Could you please also test your system on the following page: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/need-for-speed-2016/13109

@Delxysic I am not sure what you mean with getting a black rectangle? I cannot ask for a screenshot either, for obvious reasons.. ☹️ Several things you could try: Right-click Need for Speed in Origin and select Repair Game Bind the Take Snapshot button to another key Could you let me know if that got it working for you?

Hi there, sorry for the late reply, had to go out of town for a few days.I tried repairing the game but it didn't work and even now when I connect the laptop to a TV via an HDMI, either the game crashes/PC freezes or nothing is visible on the TV.Can someone somehow resolve this issue, and is there anyone with the same issue?By a black rectangle I mean a literal black rectangle when i press the screenshot key and pasted the image in paint. Tried a third party screenshot utility and binded another key for screenshot, but nothing worked. Any solution?EDIT: I tried using a different HDMI cable but it still didn't work. And my laptop port isn't faulty as i can view other programs on the TV.

@Delxysic If you reply to this thread with a dxdiag then I can take a closer look at your system for you.

Here's the DxDiag that you requested.
