Well that sucks. At this rate I don't think there will ever be a solution.
Mephiles and the other guy I don't think the solution the other guy is saying works, my solution does work for the time being is when get in the game ASAP of tries immediately go to the 3rd tap and change the All drive settings to single player or private match and you won't have to worry about crashing. If you think that is "So Stupid and dumb" Let give you new flash it does work and xboxbabe70 knows it works as well cause I did test this 2 or 3 days ago and I have recorded our 1v1 chase rounds off the xbox 1 capture system. Xboxbabe70 I didn't upload the other videos yet didn't get around of uploading to the one drive yet it will be up soon. Here the link to those vids.

I never said that particular solution is dumb. I said EA is dumb for not fixing the issue in the first place. While I don't mind singleplayer and don't doubt it works just fine, I kind of like the multiplayer aspect of the game.

I'm not sure why you are taking it as if I insulted either of you. I insulted EA lol.
I was just confused why he thought I was insulting you guys.

No idea, i wasn't insulted.
You know what, he sent me a message earlier, just saw it. He must've been referring to that. Maybe he thought I was ignoring it.

I'd like to add that yes it did work that time, but that doesn't mean it works all the time, we only tried it once.
Honestly I think I'm gonna get a refund for the game if I can. I know its only $5 but no use in keeping a game I can't even play. I'll be following this forum tho to see if you guys ever figure something out though. Update: Guess I have to fill out some form like you said earlier XboxBabe. It's only $5, but $5 is $5.
I appreciate the suggestion for offline or private match but imo the game is useless with out the online aspect as I prefer cracking down on "real" racers =-) I'm able to crash the game on both console versions I have and deleting the saved game is the only way I can get it to load again (but I cant ever get it to load on external on either console). Occasionally I have to delete the saved game on both consoles to get the other to load. While I enjoy the game its too much of hassle to keep it working....

Agreed! 🙂

****UPDATE- We tried this again and it worked for a bit, and then I crashed out twice, so back to the drawing board!
My refund was denied, presumably because it was on sale, RIP
my refund was denied a second time even though I explicitly typed "GAME DOES NOT WORK ON EITHER OF MY 2 CONSOLES, CRASHES ON LOAD. SEE EA FORUMS. I CANNOT PLAY THIS GAME I PURCHASED". Guess they don't give a damn.
Just to note I've had an active xbox live gold account for at least 10 years (or since the xbox 360 dropped) and only ever had ONE thing refunded in that time period!!!!!
Welp later today I will try to upload more chase videos even one that was 2v1 from last nigh after figuring out the issue of the game crashing on someone else end and was really fun especially from perspective lol This is on the one also not 360
*Sigh* I guess I'll go play NFS reboot since I've barely started it. Not a fan of the live action * but at least the racing is fun.
Nope not the reason, I have gotten refunds for digital games on sale with no issues. But now it looks like they have a new policy under there terms of sale, which make no sense since it says they will give refunds then below says the won't, makes no sense! Here is the link to it and I am pasting the refund part of their policy,

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/b/terms-of-sale
16. Return Policy. We will accept returns and exchanges for eligible products for 30 days from the date of purchase or download, as applicable. Simply return the eligible product in like new condition and in its original packaging, along with all parts, components, instruction manuals and documentation that were initially included. This Return Policy does not affect any statutory rights that may apply to your purchase.
Packaged software and games must be returned with their seal intact and must include all media and product keys. As a limited exception, software and game packages that have been opened may be returned during the return period if you are unsatisfied with the license agreement or warranty, but only if you do not make or retain any copies.
Even if you return your products, packaged software or games, these Terms of Sale will still apply to the time between your purchase or download and return.
Some items are not eligible for return; unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular product offer, all purchases of these types of products are final and non-refundable:
- digital apps, games, in-app content and subscriptions, music, movies, TV shows, and associated content;
- gift cards and service/subscription cards (e.g., Skype, Xbox Live, Groove Music Pass);
- products that have been personalized or customized;
- special order products, if not part of a Store promotional offering;
- random access memory ("RAM") products;
- services that have been performed or consumed; and
- clearance items or those marked with a designation such as "Final Sale" or "Non-Returnable".
When you make a qualifying return, we will credit the full amount, less the original shipping and handling charges (if any) except we won’t deduct those charges for returns because you are unsatisfied with the license agreement or warranty, and you will typically receive your refund in approximately 3-5 business days. Any refunds will be applied to the same account, and using the same method of payment, used to place the order (unless you choose a Store credit in the amount of the refund).

You can always try to file a complaint with BBB and/consumer affairs and also post a complaint on microsoft facebook? etc..... Can't hurt

That is really strange, it seems like the terms are contradicting each other. I'm not going to fight it at this point. If it were $20 I would, but at this point I don't care anymore.
Something interesting to note is that the 360 and PC servers are both down, but all the rest are up.

I'm with you, $5 isn't worth the hassle but I will definitely NEVER buy any digital content again that is older than a few months.
I wouldn't go as far as that, I buy digital games regularly with no issues myself. I also filed a bug report scolding them very strongly but I doubt they will do anything.
Well if you guys want fun on rivals me and xboxbabe could invite you to private sessions to have fun. If we did 2v1 last night after dealing with technical difficulties we could do it later cause I did the method what I use to do in gta v was invite one player at a time to see if they can get in or not
