Getting Burnout Paradise: Remastered To Run On Windows 10 With Nvidia Graphic Cards:

Electronic Arts will gladly take your money while ignoring the fact Burnout Paradise: Remastered won't initially run on Windows 10.

 

The Problem:

The game crashes to desktop during startup.


The Issue:

The game is coded to recognize older/non supported graphic cards.


The Resolution:

Instructions for Nvidia; the instructions for AMD/Radeon should be similar.

1) Download, Install [if not already present], and Run the free Nvidia Control Panel (different from GeForce Experience).

Click the image below to download from Nvidia, or goto the Windows Store.

 

2) Select "Manage 3D Settings".  [Click the image below to enlarge.]

    Click the "Program Settings" tab.

    Click the box shown below the "Select a program to customize".

    Locate the game.  Note: I have Steam installed; the full path would be:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BurnoutPR

    (you would then select the BurnoutPR.exe) 


    (C:\Program Files (x86) is also common location usually within the game company's folder.)

 

 

    Click "Add".

    The option to run with the "High Performance Nvidia Processor" should already be selected.

Close the Nvidia Control Panel it will save the changes.

The game should run now.*

 

*It should be noted some people have mentioned having to initially run it twice; the game may crash immediately after making this change; but will run fine after that.

Worse comes to worst, restart the computer.
