So that means I need to go into “Origin” in the top left corner of the desktop app then press “app settings” after that we go to “installs & saves” and turn off cloud storage?
Just as I wrote I did and it doesn’t fix the problem so please do explain what folders I need to open and delete the saved data from.
Some also say that I need to start the game without being logged into origin, but you can’t open need for speed payback without being logged into origin.
So sorry to say but the answer you gave is not the solution I’m looking for
Cheers

I also have this problem. I could not start a new game without deleting my savegame, which is BS. Cloud synchronization is off, as it always should be ;-)

 

I found out that the most sensible thing to do is:

1. deleting your savegame (if you want to start anew)

2. disabling cloud synchroniszation (should never be used in any game)

3. starting a new game

4. ALT + F4 after the 1st video but before doing any driving

5. restart NFS, now you can go into the options menu (finally)

6. change options to suit your playstyle (subtitles, car sounds, etc.)

7. finally resume / start playing the game

 

I first played through the Prologue but had to constantly reduce sound volume while driving and increase when people were talking as the cars are way too loud and the talking is rather whispering. In effect I did not grasp anything the Prologue / NFS Payback was about. But Im happy to be able to finally go into the options menu after the first video with ALT + F4 / restart. Now I can increase the resolution from 1024 x 768 to 1920 x 1080, enable subtitles and reduce car sounds.

If you do it this way you can also watch the first video with subtitles.

This is completely ridiculous. Why wouldn't there be an option to start a new game? How hard would it really be to put this in the game? You shouldn't have to jump through all these hoops with cloud saves and what not just to start over.

 

Wow man...

Re: How to reset game progress in Payback

★★★★★ Guide

C:\Users\*Your User*\Documents\Need for Speed(TM) Payback\SaveGame

Delete the folder named savegame or rename it so the game does not find it

go to origin application settings and then to installs and saves and disable cloud saves.

 

This should have been in the options menu as it was in previous game

Just so that anyone who sees this knows, if you have the deluxe edition and do this, you keep all of the deluxe benefits that you got from opened shipments, except for the cash you will lose out on any cash you had.
