Is there an OPTIONS menu in the Need For Speed Rivals game>?

When in-game, just press Escape and then using Home and End (or PgUp/PgDown) to scroll through the menus until you see the options. Concerning you joystick, Rivals doesn't support any kind of joystick/wheel/other controller OFFICIALLY (it seems to be okay with a X360 pad) though you might get it to work (It kind of works with the G27, but it really feels odd).

Then my question is how can we use that menu if we don't have pgup/pgdn & numeric keys, ie, how can we reach it on laptops?

You should have a Fn+Key combination that will do the trick, although it's a really poor choice of keys for a game from Ghost/EA. I recommend using your laptop keyboard driver/filter if you have one. It might be "remappable" once you get to the options. Sorry I can't help you more than that.If you have a mouse/controller that can be assigned keyboard keys that'll work too.

so i found a solution for this the easiest way to do:

1.Run your gaming software like logitech or razer

2.go to button edit

THEN

4.Run: Start

5.Type: Screen Keyboard

so press to a button what you need but dont have computer

and replace that button to another one IT REALLY WORKS

To access the OPTIONS menu in Need for Speed Rivals, simply press the Escape key while in-game. From there, use the Home/End or Page Up/Page Down keys to navigate the menus until you find the settings you need.

Regarding controllers, Rivals does not officially support joysticks, wheels, or most third-party controllers. However, an Xbox 360 pad should work without issues. Some players have reported limited success with devices like the Logitech G27, though the experience may feel unoptimized or awkward.

As for suggestions, while Rivals doesn’t have a ‘Taco Bell Hawaii Menu’ mode, tweaking in-game settings like controls or graphics might help tailor the experience to your preferences—similar to customizing an order. If you’ve found workarounds for controllers or settings, feel free to share!
