    :D You were fast!

    We made some changes in order to try to fix this issue, but you didn't give us enough time to test it for all the games. 😉

    Glad to hear it's working for you with Need for Speed Undercover! If anyone tries other games, please let us know how it goes!

    Thanks,

@Jocobai

Did you installed patch 1.02?

Did you restarted your router?

Are you on a private or a public network? (University network for example)

If this don't helps, I can't say if the error is on EAs side or on yours and I can't reproduce this error, I never had the game on CD (bought it on Steam at the day of release) I cant even say if the Authentication-servers for the disk version are still on.

(a EA CM will probably answer this question tomorrow.)

But honestly, the easiest way would probably be to redeem the CD key in Origin and go ahead with a digital copy, or install the game with your cd, and than repair the game inside Origin.

Hello @Jocobai 

I am really sorry for those issues with the game. Have you tried to solve this by using advice from the previous post? Also, using Origin client to play the game just might fix this. Keep us posted.

Cheers,

Archi
