Re: Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered (PC) Not Launching

@Happy_Shrapnellli got it working by

 

1. going into the properties of the actual application file
2. going into compatibility tab
3. checking the compatibility mode box
4. selecting windows 7 in dropdown
5. running as administrator


I also downloaded the origins app and put the install location in the origin games folder

 

i dont actually know which one of these steps got the game working but it works for me now

    I came here to say pretty much the same, but without using compatibility mode. I had the same black screen issue until I manually ran it as an Administrator. I thought it was perhaps a User Account Control (UAC) issue, but mine is set to "Notify me only when applications try to make changes to my computer (default)", so you would expect a prompt. Either way, I allowed the request, and it worked. I then set it to run as Administrator each time as per the instructions shown here.
