Need for speed payback

 Hello, 

I am currently having issues with Need For Speed Payback not saving games.

I can start and play the game and it runs great, but as soon as I close it and come back,

I have to start from the very beginning again. I've tried multiple things to get it to work like,

re-installing, repairing, running as admin, etc. I am currently running it on a laptop that has a

125GB SATA hard drive and a 1TB SSD. I'm thinking the issue may be with how Origin

installed the game. I have Origin and Need For Speed both installed on the 1TB SSD.

My thought is that maybe the save files are being sent to another location?

Although I have other games that are installed exactly the same way and they work

just fine such as, Mass Effect Andromeda.

Please Help. Thank You

    @theriinzlerHey, your save files should be saved in My Documents. Is there a Payback folder there to match your Andromeda one? 

    The folder you're looking for is "Need for Speed(TM) Payback"

    Perhaps installing Origin to C will help, as installing it elsewhere can lead to some odd issues. Keeping Payback itself on your mass storage drive should still be fine. 

  • No, I cannot even find a "My Documents" folder. I'm not sure why.

    I am using windows 10, there is a "Documents" folder, but there is 

    no payback folder in there.
