Game won't launch - Windows 11

[aare_ademola]

I just installed the NFSHP-Remastered but it will not launch on my PC running Windows 11. I have tried the following solutions but none works:

- Launch after clean reboot

- Remove NVIDIA and/or Steam Overlay

- Open in windowed 

None of these work. My PC runs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti (4Gb) with 16 GB RAM and AMD Ryzen 5800u. I think this is good enough to run the game, I don't know what the problem is.

Does anyone have a working solution to this issue?

It's working now. Apparently, I was supposed to launch it from Origin at least the first time before subsequently launching from Steam. I had to run Origin as an administrator too.

It may be worthwhile checking out the Windows 10 compatibility mode options in Windows 11.

Thanks.

Still an issue here. Just got a copy and can't launch from steam.

Have to open  Origin client and then it will launch from there (but running off steam).

When I launch from Steam it just opens and then closes in under a second.

This is beyond just the first time on my system.

I really hate piggy back DRM, I will EA games would just launch using Steamworks if bought on steam, I assume the piggy back DRM is broken in some regard causing paying customers to have broken products.

Modern times, pay more get worse experience than the P's

@EvilAaron I have the same problem, days ago I bought the game from Steam and I haven't been able to play it. I tried to open it from EA Play but the error persists

Same issue @EA_Barry @aare_ademola , what do you recommend now that you decommissioned Origin? I can't play at all!

@92574645 Have you solved the problem yet?
