Exact same problem here. Same error.

Honestly nothing surprises me with EA anymore. With how many issues there are now with EA games not working due to the change in launcher.. it makes it feel like QA wasn't done outside of a controlled environment.
And they do nothing about it either. No response on this thread or acknowledgment anywhere else even though I've seen other people facing this issue on other games for up to a week now. Shame on them, we didn't get our games for free.
Hey guys, I believe I may have found a fix. So today, I tried to run the game, and instead of giving me the error this time, it said to me, "This game requires administrator privileges to run. Would you like to enable them?". I believe that prompt on the EA app isn't showing up for everyone, so I believe the fix is to go to your game directory and give NFSUNBOUND.exe administrator privileges in properties> compatibility.
- @MrSirjohny I actually made a second post, I believe since I couldn't find this one. I had already done that and it still wouldn't work. I found closing the EA Launcher app and launching, from the app's directory, the EADesktop.exe instead of the EALauncher.exe worked perfectly. Why they default to you using the crap application I have no idea.
The same problem. Can't play.... I tried everything from reddit and even the old launcher origin. Nothing works.
Big surprise afterwards, people prefer to play cracked version of game instead of buying. It's just simpler than trying to resolve problem with legal bought games...
