Need for speed payback resolution issue

Hi Team,

I have an issue with the game. The resolution of my monitor is 1366x768. I am unable to change the settings of the game. if i launch the game i see a blank screen with music running behind.

Tried changing the  resolution through Gforce Experience it doesn't change either.  Uninstalled it still doesent work.

One of the articles said 

{Go to the \ Need for Speed ​​(TM) folder Payback \ settings Open the file PROFILEOPTIONS_profile Change the file in the file GstRender.ResolutionWidth 1920, where 1920 is the number of points horizontally, you can put another value. Change the line in the file GstRender.ResolutionHeight 1080, where 1080 is the number of vertices, you can put another value. Read more: https://howfix.net/games/change-resolution-need-speed-%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bpayback/}

but i dont find (GstRender.ResolutionHeight 1080, where 1080 is the number of vertices, ) at all its not there.

I see only these (GstAudio.DynamicsEnum 2
GstAudio.MusicModeEnum 1
GstAudio.MusicVolume 1.000000
GstAudio.PoliceScannerOutputEnum 0
GstAudio.PoliceScannerVolume 1.000000

    Hi team i uninstalled Gforce Experience and also deleted the Need for Speed(TM) Payback folder in my documents. Then repaired the game and now i do not see PROFILEOPTIONS_profile. there is only 1 folder in settings and that is PROFILEOPTIONS.
    My card is EVGA GTX 1060 6 GB.

    Your machine may be defaulting to your Intel video processing on your CPU rather than your nvidia GPU.

    1. Open the nvidia Control Panel
    2. Click Manage 3D settings
    3. Click the Program Settings tab
    4. Click the Add button
    5. Select the game from the list or click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed Payback\NeedForSpeedPayback.exe
    6. Select NeedForSpeedPayback.exe and then Open
    7. Customise individual settings if you like
    8. Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

    Do let us know if this helps, thanks.

    We can't change the resolution from NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL!  Give us "Command line arguments" to change the resolution from there... I have the same issue and it's frustrating when you know you have to buy a 4k monitor to play this game X(, try to help us with professionalism...
