    Can you please let us know if temporarily disabling your antivirus and then performing a clean boot before retrying the game allows you to play, thanks.

    Clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Thanks EA_Barry for the Answer :X

    here is what happened yesterday i talked to 1 of the agents on EA Contact and we agreed on waiting Couple of hours for some issue (outage) EA online services had experienced whole day (what he told me) and then after that if my first launch issue was still existing then we would do the next steps. ,

    SO Now 20 hours Later after that Conversation i started my pc and Head straight to Origin app to check whats going on and then bam Same issues Again tried 4 times and it was there  SO i was going to open chat to ea contact but before that i checked this topic i read your solution i decieded to try the chance by disabling my ESET Internet Security Protection&Firewall FIRST Before Heading to "Clean boot"  you mentioned i Disabled ALL the SECURITY Yes BUT What i ALSO DID WAS CHANGING MY VPN APP TO ANOTHER ONE THAT I HAVE (i have 3 different vpn solution from the same vpn service) 

    So i DID 2 THINGS >> 1 : DISABLED FIREWALL 2 : CHANGED VPN APP (not the vpn servers) AND THEN Guess What?! I Saw the nfs payback Lunch Window for the first time in my life :D :P and the Game Loaded Completely FINE and now i have played it for 3 Hours , but wait now Heres another thing when i Returned to desktop after playing the game i Restarted the system  RE ENABLED the FIREWALL and  Moved back Everything and my vpn to my main vpn app that i always use then Opened Origin again and guess what?!! This time it Launches without any issues! it means all the issue was for the first start , SO NOW I DONT EXACTLLY KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM for THE FIRST START LAUNCH!?!! the firewall or vpn ? and in Which way and How it was or can be Related to origin servers confirmation and the setup process for the first launch? what do you think ?! i Clearly think there is some sort of bug or not good habbit with ea servers Because you Never see these type of issues with STEAM Client NEver Ever .. But Still you are way better Than WINDOWS STORE APP hah khhhh:D🙂))) that thing is the real garbage ...... I Have A Really Serious Request From EA ORIGIN Team >>> PLEASE PLEASE IMPROVE Your Downloads SPPEEEDD in Origin Like  the Numbers WE SEE in STEAM Client

    ok that was the Solution for the topic title which was maybe because of you so i pick you also as solution
