    Hey @jbeick @Parallelofam 

    In this situation, I would recommend to also delete the unwanted DirectX files.

    Just head to the same directory: Origin Games\Need for Speed Payback\__Installer\directx\redist and delete all the files from there except for DSETUP.dll, dsetup32.dll, DXSETUP.exe

    Let me know if that helped 🤞
