    A clean boot as detailed by @XTwiztedChaosX should help with that. It could be that conflicting programs on your system are causing the game or system to be unresponsive.

    I would also recommend to unplug all devices from your system except for your mouse and keyboard to see if that makes a difference. 

    Please let us know how you get on.

    Edit: @kiill56, moved your topic into this one as you seem to be experiencing the same issue. Please try the steps we listed in this topic.

    I did notice that you set your DPI settings to 150%. Please change the size / scaling of items on your screen back to 100% which should solve any in-game problems.

    Note that Need for Speed Rivals will not support Driving Wheels. The Xbox 360 controller and Keyboard at the only supported input devices for Need for Speed Rivals.

You won't be able to downgrade to an older version of Origin. The update shouldn't be causing such an issue either but I will keep an eye out for further reports just in case.

Since we've gone through most steps I would recommend to right-click Rivals in Origin and select Repair Game. If that doesn't work then do a complete reinstall of the game. Preferably while in a clean boot.

What gamepad are you using? The XBOX One controller has issues in this game, but the XBOX 360 controller works fine.
