Yep, the most recent origin update ruined Need For Speed 2016 for me as well. I can no longer use custom resolutions. Everything is auto stretched to full screen, and if I want to use 4k or DSR resolution like I used to the screen squishes the image. I made sure it was origin games because I tested Forza Horizon 4 and Call of Duty to see if the issues were coming from user configuration, but these issues only happen on Origin games now.

After a year of trying solutions, tried your solution and it worked. Anyone else having this problem should do this. Thank you SEAMAS2001!!

I just tried this and every other combination of settings found near and related to compatibility mode. It didn't work.
