Need For Speed hot Pursuit (Remastered) Problem

Hi Hello Everyone

so recently i Bought Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered on Steam

I got the EA app before hand and downloaded it

on first Launch, i was able to play it and Complete a Few Missions, but after resting a time attack mission a few times, it crashed

thinking nothing off it i continued my day and when i tried to launch it again, this time the Software opened, showed a black screen, and crashed, sending me to the Library of the EA App

I tried again a few times to have the same thing happen, since then i deleted the game hoping redownloading it will work

i did research and found its a well known problem but i was unable to find any solutions to it, so does anyone have a method to fixing my issue if it happens again?

    Found the solution to this problem finally, as I had the same issue and no solutions online solved it for me.

    Find the exe file that launches the game, right click on it, hit More Options, select Troubleshoot Compatibility, then click Yes, then select The program requires additional permissions. It'll ask if it should apply compatibility settings or something, hit yes. It'll ask if it fixed the issue. The game should now launch.

    Once the game finally launched no problem for me, it seemed to now run with the resolution not correct or something, even though it shows as correct on Geforce Experience. In the Geforce Experience app I was able to change it to windowed and then relaunch and this fixed the issue and in-game I then switched to Fullscreen and all has been well.

    hey also, the EXE file, meaning the launch file steam has where it downloads its game files or the icon that steam puts on desktop?
