    IVE FOUND A SOLUTION! So what I have been doing is when I'm in origin I "update game" and "repair" the game multiple times (once each before trying the game) then when I click on play and origin minimizes I click on another program or the background to have it not focus on the game; then when the game shows up as a little window on the top right of my screen I click on it and after 2 tries of doing that it has worked again! I'm not sure if this is going to work for you guys but I have found that It works for me. Let me know how it goes.

    Also try combining those with restarting origin.

Your machine may be defaulting to your Intel video processing on your CPU rather than your nvidia GPU.

  1. Open the nvidia Control Panel
  2. Click Manage 3D settings
  3. Click the Program Settings tab
  4. Click the Add button
  5. Select the game from the list or click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed Payback\NeedForSpeedPayback.exe
  6. Select NeedForSpeedPayback.exe and then Open
  7. Customise individual settings if you like
  8. Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

Please try this and let us know how you get on. Thanks

This does not fix the problem.

I'm I the only finding all your games  unplayable because they are or politically correct  and unplayable, or buggy and unplayable, or even both?

Every year since 2014 is the same story the EA has become a very unprofessional company.  

I have the previous need for speed and this year the need for speed payback deluxe edition both are unplayable and crashing.
