How to fix the NFS: Heat "Item Synchronization failed" Error 40010000
Hey all,
Before I start, I would like to exclaim that this is what I did to solve the problem, this may not solve it for you!
First:
Navigate to your game save directory. This should be located here: C:\Users\Name\Documents\Need for Speed Heat\SaveGame\savegame
After, place your save game (it should be called "1") on to your desktop.
Second:
Navigate to Origin, right-click Need for Speed: Heat, game properties, Cloud saves, and uncheck "Enable cloud saves for all supported games"
Third:
Start the game. It may ask you to upload your local file; click yes if prompted.
Fourth:
Play the game as if you were playing normally. Play the game up until you can install your first Nitrous kit and then, leave the garage, quit to lobby and exit.
Fifth:
Navigate to your game save directory again and delete that new save.
Sixth:
Go back to Origin, right-click Need for Speed: Heat, game properties, Cloud saves, and click "Restore last local saved game".
Seventh:
Start the game; if it's worked, you should not get the error and you'll be able to play online. Now, just quit the game and delete the new save and put the original save in its place.
Hope this helps.
The solution by @NathanAMG sadly didn't fix this problem for me. But I found another solution.
A friend invited me to a party and started multiplayer. This apparently skips the "checking inventory" part of connecting. After buying some new parts for my car (not sure if this is actually neccessary) I was able to upload my savegame successfully and join multiplayer on my own again.
