Need for Speed (2016) does not launch

Question

Whenever I try to launch the game from Origin or the executable, the game's window briefly appears windowed on the top left of the screen, then goes full screen (the screen goes black for 2 seconds) and crashes to desktop without an error message.

I have tried running the game (.exe) as an Administrator

I have tried running the compability troubleshooter on NFS16.exe and followed reccommended settings

I have installed installed both vcredist_x64 and vcredist_x86 from the game's directory (and restarted the PC after)

I have tried running both Cleanup.exe and Touchup.exe (they do not do anything)

I have tried updating and repairing the game from Origin

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for adding that. Lets try some steps:

Free up some hard drive space, aim for 32GB+ free
Temporarily disable your antivirus software
Perform a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 or http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Let us know how this goes.

Hi again!&nbsp;On the game installation drive (HDD), I have around 250 gb of unused storage space, it should not be an issue.I disabled my antivirus software and Firewall and clean booted my PC with the help of the links that you provided, but it made no difference (I still get a brief black screen and a crash to desktop).Maybe the game installation is corrupted?EDIT: When I disable Origin, the game does not force close and I do not get a black screen, but still does not launch (screenshot attached)EDIT2: I am reinstalling the game, maybe it will helpEDIT3: Did not help, having the same problem
