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.

Hello all .
As much as for some this has fixed the issue , others are still finding issues, so to help out here are a few options.
1. GPU Drivers & Windows Updates.
as always with new Ea Games check your Graphics Drivers are up to date. this also includes Windows 7, Netframe work 4.+ (you kinda need this to install the latest drivers)
" Nvidia, yeh im looking at you.. "
Note 1 : do the install the proper way.
1. Uninstall the old driver
2. reboot
3. Install new driver
4. reboot
Note 2 : made sure the GPU control panel is setup corretly and like Nvidia Control panel "manage 3d settings" > program settings > NFS Payback (if found) is set to defualt (global)
2. Disable EA Origin Game Overlay.
this has been an old golden rule since the day go of origin and ingame overlay.
(also if you do , (you shouldnt use it) , disable "Display FPS Counter".
3. Run as Admin. More Windows 7 then Windows 10 but still a goodie.
Find your Install path , Normally it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\ (for Secondary drives see my additional notes below)
locate your game .exe and right click > properties > compatibily tab , at the bottom is "run this program as an administrator .
Note : That in Windows 10 you can also set compatibility to Windows 7, this is not a good option but worth a try if nothing else works.
Secondary Storage Install Location : it has been found (me personally) that Origin has issues reading and writing to secondary drives. use the above "run as admin" with Origin.exe to start origin in Administrative mode.
4. Modify the Profile (not for poking around in and some CC can detect modified files as cheating)
So locate your save profile.
Windows 7: C:\Users\spar\Documents\Need for Speed(TM) Payback\settings
Windows 10 just look in your "my Documents" and \Need for Speed(TM) Payback\settings
You are looking for "PROFILEOPTIONS_profile" Create a copy and save it in an different folder. if you have it go to step 1. if you do not go to step 2.
Option 1. Right click the file > select "open with" > "notepad".
you need to located text "FullscreenEnabled 1GstRender." this must be changed to 0 , "FullscreenEnabled 0GstRender."
ALSO. locate and do the same for the following :
MotionBlurEnabled 0GstRender. (make sure this is set to 0)
ResolutionHeight 768GstRender.
ResolutionWidth 1024GstRender.
Change the Resolution Height and width as you wish or match above to run tests
You must now click File > Save . do not use "Save as". attempt loading the game.
Option 2
You will have to create a "file" this can be difficult but if you have the previous NFS15 save then it can be worked around.
Located the same Above file ""PROFILEOPTIONS_profile" copy and save to the NFSPayBack file location. open with Notepad and Delete contents and paste in
I have tried everything in here and I still cannot get the game to launch (it also appears in task manager for 2 seconds and then closes). Tried everything, nothing worked. The only thing that changed is once I created the folder (it did not exist) and added my NFS15 files (for testing), it asked if my save data was correct, to use cloud or local. So the folder name is definitely correct, but the game still does not launch. Anyone have any ideas?

Also I managed to get some details about the details about the game process itself that tries to turn on. Can anyone confirm if the values are as they should be?

And here's also all the modules this process is trying to use, probably useless info, but none of the solutions has worked for me so far.
