Turn your actual webcam off via Windows Device manager, or through your BIOS settings, if the game cannot detect a camera then it cannot use one.

i asked this issue on ea support: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Burnout-Games/Burnout-Paradise-Remastered-PC-Webcam/m-p/10590170#M3985


"I play on my laptop and my laptop has its own built-in camera and indicator which turns on when the camera is on.

and when I play burnout paradise remastered every time I completed an event I always get a prompt to take a picture (for driver license I guess), I really don't want to because I already have a profile picture taken from my origin profile pic and I'm not comfortable taking a picture of my own self because I record my gameplay quite often on youtube, etc.

the more annoying part is that once the prompt disappears my camera is still on for some reason and it won't turn off until I quit the game entirely.

inb4: yes I can disable my camera access on my privacy settings on windows settings but IIRC that will disable the entire camera access and the problem is that I use my laptop for lots of things like zoom calls and school stuff and so disabling my camera is not the best option right now as its very tedious thing to turn my camera access on and off just to play burnout paradise.

my current solution is I can cover my webcam when playing burnout paradise remastered but it's still very annoying. there is an option in burnout paradise ultimate box to turn off the webcam on the in-game settings but I didn't see that in the remastered version.

please fix this issue it is really a privacy hazard because not everyone is comfortable getting their pictures taken, I will look forward to any fix/solution, thank you for the understanding"

Yep you can cover it, but it will still pick up the audio!!!

You could write a batch script to turn the cam off (I'm sure you will find a pre-written one on the net that you can use, you can just add your device ID into it) will be much faster than going into settings each time to turn off and on. If your using W10 I'm sure you can set the permissions in apps for what each app has access to, you could also try there to disable cam access just for Burnout Paradise.

Since i don't use a webcam, i'll just disable access.

doesnt matter any cameras on your pc, i use a laptop like i said and it has an intergrated camera, not webcam

Try asking EA to kick you in the balls. They might get around to that before they bother fixing the best game they ever published.
