Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012) Won't Launch

Hi all,

Just bought NFS:MW 2012 (from origin) and it won't let me play it. I click on play in origin and it looks like its loading for a second (blue circle in windows) then nothing happens. Nothing appears in task manager and it won't run. I have tried repairing the install and going offline etc. nothing works!

Any ideas what I can try?

Running windows 8 btw

Specs:
i5 3570k @ 4.6GHz
Gigabyte Z77x-D3H
16 gigs ram
7950

Cheers

EDIT: Just tried it under bootcamp on my rMBP and it works fine? :confused:

Also running windows 8 on that.

I also have problems starting this game too, can some times takes about 10 attempts to start it up. But because I don't play it much I've never really investigated it so have just put up With it :-(

Hmmm funnily enough i posted a very similar thread a week or so ago, except mine was about red alert 3 doing the excact same thing..........displaying a splash screed for 10 secs then nothing happening.
