Error: "You dont have access"
I just bought NFS Rivals off of Steam to play it before the servers get shut down, and upon downloading and opening the game through Steam, I'm met with this message: "You don't have access, this title may have been downloaded to your device by another user who owns the game. Log in to a different account or restart the app to try again." The game does not show up in my EA app library either. I have tried: reinstalling the game, closing and opening both Steam and EA, logging in and out of Steam and EA, double checking that Steam and EA are linked, verifying game files thru Steam, clearing EA app cache, manually moving game files to the EA games folder, restarting my PC and praying yet nothing works. I have previously completed Need for Speed Hot Pursuit on the same Steam and EA accounts with no issues. So I ask for an timely solution to this predicament before my refund window shuts down.Solved15Views0likes1Comment- 36Views0likes2Comments
NFS Hot pursuit remastered | Handbrakes don't work on the same turns every time.
Greetings, Problem: I am playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit on Windows, and having trouble using the handbrake on particular turns. I am using the default key binding for the handbrake—the Space bar—and I use it the same way every time. I use the arrow keys to steer left/right and to accelarate simultaneously with the handbrake. Sometimes the handbrake works perfectly, but NOT others times. The issue is not car-specific as I have used multiple cars and the issue happens with all cars. But one thing is constant--the issue happens at the same turns every time regardless of the car I am using or the race I am in. I find it hard to imagine that it is related to game physics since I played this same game several years ago and never faced this issue. I feel frustrated right now because not being able to use handbrake on particular turns is causing me to crash repeatedly. My game experience has been obliterated by this problem. Troubleshooting tried: I have tried restarting and repairing the game through the EA app. And I have tried changing the key bindings, but the problem persists. I am happy to provide additional information as needed.Solvedabhishekz17 days agoSeasoned Newcomer50Views0likes3CommentsUnable to download NFS Hot Pursuit from EA App
Hi, I tried installing NFS HP from the EA APP today, and I am facing the following error: Error Text: You don't have access We've canceled the download because you don't own this game. To play, go to the Game Hub to get the game. The EA support guided me here (Case - #217354490) to consult with the community managers, hence would be glad if someone can guide here.

Dear EA Forum Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report persistent stuttering and lagging issues during cutscenes and intro videos in the PC version of Need for Speed Heat. These performance problems significantly affect the gameplay experience, especially during immersive story-driven moments. I have ensured that my system meets the recommended requirements and have also tried common troubleshooting steps, including updating drivers and adjusting in-game settings, but the issue persists. It appears to be a widespread concern among several PC users. Given the popularity of the title and the impact of these issues on playability, I kindly request that the development team investigate this matter and provide an update or patch at the earliest convenience. Your prompt attention and response would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if any further details or logs are needed from my end to assist in resolving this. Thank you for your continued support. Best regards, Rahul VermaSolvedAxuraNexus9 days agoSeasoned Newcomer27Views1like2CommentsWill NFS Rivals on PS3 and Xbox 360 get shut down too?
Hello. This question might seem a bit weird, but I just want a bit of clarification. As we all know EA recently announced that NFS Rivals for PS4, Xbox One, and PC will shut down in October. I am not protesting against this or anything, game is 12 years old almost, etc etc. What I need clarification about is if the 7th gen versions (PS3 and Xbox 360) are getting shut down too. I know it's likely they'll be affected too, but I just want a bit of clarification.Solved51Views0likes2CommentsPurchase verification failed NFS no limits
I received this message a few days ago while attempting an IAP It says a problem was encountered with my last purchase and to restart the application. I don't understand it though because I've never had any issues with any previous purchases. I've tried changing payment methods, I've deleted and reinstalled the app, and I've spoken with apple support. All to no avail. I can make IAPs within other apps with no problems. So far EA support hasn't been able to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Solved93231be2ff485cde13 days agoRising Newcomer48Views0likes2CommentsBlack screen bug 2017 Hot Wheels Gazella GT

I have been playing NFS Rivals on Xbox Series X. I've had multiple achievements not unlock for me when they should have. The achievements for busting 50 racers, collecting 10 cars, and busting 10 racers in a Mustang haven't unlocked. I've busted over 300 racers in total, bought all the cars, and I've also busted around 40 racers in a Mustang. None of these achievements have unlocked for me.

Hello everone. After I switched to a new computer, I noticed that my game archive doesn't seem to be synced by the EA App, but instead all the progress started from the beginning, and after exiting out the App pops up a box saying that the data failed to sync with the cloud and that I don't have any way to fix this issue here at the moment.

So recently I was playing need for speed heat, and all of a sudden I had this car specifically a Mercedes AMG C 63 Coupe '18 and i was customizing it, you know making it look good. But I went to the canards and the third option which is a speedhunter brand says unavailable because of the bumper type. So I switched out the bumper because there is only two options. So I went back to the canards and still says unavailable, just remove the bumper type. I tried restarting my game, I tried getting out of the garage and getting back in, nothing worked. I know this wouldn't help but I even tried to switch cars and back and still didn't work, any suggestions?

Dear EA / Criterion Games team, As fans of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012), we would like to kindly request the addition of Steam achievements for the PC version of the game. While the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game include a full set of trophies/achievements, the Steam version currently has none — even though the game remains popular among racing game fans and collectors. Adding Steam achievements would: Bring the PC experience in line with console versions; Motivate both new and returning players to complete the game 100%; Give fans a new reason to revisit this iconic title. This is still one of the most beloved entries in the franchise, and a relatively small update like this would mean a lot to the community. Thank you for considering this! — A long-time fan of Most Wanted (2012), and part of a community that still cares deeply about this game. It’s still being played, modded, discussed, and appreciated in 2025. That kind of longevity is rare. If a game can survive over a decade and still have an active community, why not give it the small quality-of-life features it never got on PC? Far Cry 3 was released in 2012 — just like Most Wanted — and Ubisoft only added Steam achievements in 2025 january.SolvedThe_W4nT3D_One19 days agoRising Newcomer40Views1like1CommentI love need for speed Rivals ,I really Really Love Rivals ,
