Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered not launching

This situation kept happening for a month.I've tried several answers to the glitch, searched from ea answers hq and steam community, but unfortunately they didn't work.

when i click to start the game, the game just flashed a black screen then the game was immediately closed, without showing any error. ☹️

the ea app's cache was cleared. Game bought from steam.

here's my dxdiag below, hope it helps.

  • Hello @vembw,

    Here are some steps you can try to resolve the black screen problem when launching your game:

    1. Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) to download the latest drivers.

    2. Verify Game Files:

      • In Steam, right-click on the game in your library.
      • Select "Properties" > "Local Files" > "Verify integrity of game files." This can fix corrupted files.
    3. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the game executable and select "Run as administrator." This can help with permissions issues.

    4. Disable Overlay Programs: Sometimes overlays from Steam or other software can cause issues. Try disabling them:

      • For Steam, go to "Settings" > "In-Game" and uncheck "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game."
    5. Check for Background Programs: Disable any unnecessary background programs or overlays (like Discord overlay, GeForce Experience overlay, etc.) that might conflict with the game.

    6. Adjust Compatibility Settings:

      • Right-click on the game executable, go to "Properties" > "Compatibility," and try running the game in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows.
    7. Check DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables: Ensure that your DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables are up to date. You can download the latest versions from Microsoft's website.

    8. Reinstall the Game: If none of the above works, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the game. This can help if there are underlying installation issues.

    9. Check Event Viewer: Look for any errors related to the game in Windows Event Viewer. This can provide more insight into what's causing the crash.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    Hi @vembw, I wanted to check I see you have the RTX graphics and intel Xe Graphics. Can you confirm via Nvidia, and Windows settings your using the Nvidia card?

    it's a laptop, when playing game, it will switch to Nvidia geforce 4060 laptop graphic card automatically.
    i think switching the graphic card won't cause the game crash.

    so what should i do next @EA_Illium ?
    i verified the game file by steam, reinstalled the game.

    Tried using origin to launch the game but there is still no progress.

    so i think it's not ea app or origin causing the problem, so i switched back to ea app.

    is there a file or program that conflicts with the game?

    Hi @vembw, Apologies to confirm do you have both Origin and the EA app installed on your device?

    Origin has been retired and replaced with the EA app so we would want to uninstall it and only use the EA app.

    the origin and ea app are not in my pc at the same time.

    they are tested separately. I only use 1 of them. @EA_Illium 

    There's ea app in pc now.
