Hello,
I've download Need for Speed Most Wanted as part of the sim city free game offer.
However when I select to play the game, the "launching" message box is displayed and then nothing happens.
The game wil not load.
Any help on how to resolve this would be appreciated.
Thank you
I've got the exactly same problem with my free copy of NFS MW from the Sim City desaster. Aswell on Windows 8 (x64) and Triple Screen Setup. Could it be somehow DRM related where the game thinks that you never purchased it because it was free ?
Just found the solution. Like every one states the game has troubles setting the resoultion of the whole Desktop to a specified resolution when you have multiple screens. When I configure my triple screen setup to Nvidia Surround View (which converts the three displays to one virtual with an huge resolution) then the game runs.
I don't want to blame EA but even I with my very limited programming skills would be able to fix this problem within 10 minutes if I had the source code of the game... saying that the game just doesn't supoprt Windows 8 is a really poor excuse
Too bad switching to one screen does not solve the problem for me.
Now, yesterday, I tried to contact the Ea, as suggested before, and ended up spending a total of about 125 minutes in the queue with my phone on loudspeaker laying next to me, waiting for someone to answer. I listened to the stupid waiting muzik until my battery died. No one answered.
Is there any other, more reliable way of getting in touch with someone?

If the workarounds or solutions provided in this thread did not work please contact a game advisor for further troubleshooting steps with this tech issue.
You did not provide details about what is happening in particular.
Loading screen; black screen; error message; details on your system and what you have tried already.
There must be a reason for this issue but depending on the specificities this reason might be different in every cases.
Sometimes it's due to the resolution, sometimes due to the drivers or the account settings....
If there is a context for this issue please provide it.
