Re: NFS Payback won't launch.

@EstoniaNumberOne

Hey man. If you have the issue where it says something about the cloud saves and then for 2 seconds NFS Payback process appears in task manager, then the solution is simple (works for most people, but not for everyone).

Apparently it is required that your Origin application has to be the latest version - 10.5.5.6040. It probably does not work on older versions of Origin, even if it is v10. So this is what you should do.

1. Uninstall your current Origin application from Control Panel
2. Download Origin from https://www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/download
3. Install Origin and launch NFS Payback

PS! You do not have to uninstall the game when you uninstall Origin.

Let us know here if this worked for you 🙂

    But is it the same issue that I described or something different? Can you check in task manager what happens when you try to launch the game. Sort the processes alphabetically, go to around N or Ne... then try to launch the game and see if the process even appears in your task managers or not.

  • So, it started working. After I launched NFS Payback, origin closed. Then it started updating, and the game launched. Weird glitch.

    What updated, Origin or the game? Might be valuable information to help other people out in the future.

    That is so strange, I still cannot find any way within the v10 client to update itself. They really need to work on the application.

    Same issue here.  Tries to launch then disappears.  Have the latest version of Origin 10.5.8.  Heard there might be an issue with DirectX 12 so I installed game and Origin on separate PC with DX11.  Same issue.
