Re: We could not activate Need for Speed Unbound on this computer

Hey there,

Take into account that if you are trying to play with a Cloud Gaming System, that can conflict with the EA app and create some incompatibilities.

If you use this type of service because your PC doesn't meet the Minimum Requirements, there's nothing we can do. If your PC can run the game without the necessity of this system, then we recommend you launch the game without using it.

    Hey @RevanGTX @araaraakira 

    To check do you own a copy of NFS Unbound, or access the game via a subscription like EA Play? 

    Also can we try the following and then check if the message continues?

    Thanks!

  • @EA_IlliumThis actually help me in my case with Vol. 7 Update, looks like the cache gets corrupted, after clearing it game just open like always 🙂

  • I have tried all of the following methods and i am still getting the window to activate my game. This has been happening only today after vol.7 update. i was able to play yesterday after the update but today this issue has started. can you help me out? Playing on PC btw

    I'm having this issue too. Can someone please sort this out? The fixes listed here are not working.

  • EA is a joke and a half. We are more likely to get struck by lightning than get actual help from EA. EA told me they are aware of the problem and are working "HARD" on the issue and we have to wait and check the forums, blah, blah, blah. People posting videos left and right and we can't even play the Vol.7 update. They should give out free cars or refunds for the game since this has been an issue since the game has released. EA is the worst gaming company known to man.
