Need for Speed (2015) - game not loading

Question

Hello, wished I didn't had to start a discussion, however it appears that after spending a whole day trying to troubleshoot the hell-ish realm that is the "Application Error" error message, the game still wouldn't launch at all, so I'm checking if there's anything more that I can do or just give up at this point or starting a discussion here, hoping that I will receive some other troubleshooting steps. In regards to what troubleshooting steps I've completed, here's the following:

deleted the corrupted .dll files
checked regedit
checked game files and no missing or corrupted files were found
ran /sfc scannow through my command prompt as administrator (no problems were found)
disabled all game overlays
ran EA App, Steam and NFS2016.exe as administrator
reinstalled Windows 11 without saving any data

I'm also leaving a screenshot with the error message and a DxDiag file.

Hi nem_ardealu​, I'm sorry to hear you're still having issues launching NFS after going through so many troubleshooting steps. It's hard to pinpoint the exact cause of this issue, but there's one step that might help here.&nbsp;In your DxDiag, we can see you have an integrated GPU and an RTX 2050. If the game tries to use the integrated GPU, it will most likely fail to launch. To rule that out, you can set the preferred GPU by following these steps here.&nbsp;
I hope this helps.
