I had a problem with the OBS virtual camera, remove it. C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow\virtualcam-uninstall.bat

Phew, I'm lost on step 1 - "Launch Burnout Paradise, select Configuration and press Play "

Where when I launch Burnout paradise the program crashes before I can "select configuration" - where exactly do I press this configuration button" because I totally cannot find that screen hahaha

Brand new Windows 10 PC, fresh Steam and fresh copy of Burnout Paradise. My machine is well within specs but I am way out of my league trying to fix this dang thing!

Works for me on Windows 8.1! Thank you so much! :D
To anyone else on Windows 8, you get into Device Manager by searching for it from the Start screen - you can just start typing and the search box will come up

Fixed the crashing issue thanks to Th3OnlyCaptain and i quote "From your Steam library, select Burnout Paradise and right click it and select properties. Then click set launch options and enter in "-multithread"."

You should add it to your guide as a third solution!
