Nfs payback freezes on Xbox one

My nfs payback freezes at the very beginning of the game, I have an open Nat type and my Ms runs between 48-50ms. What is it with y'all servers?

    No, luckily, it is not. That's one good thing they did.

    The online experience has downgraded a lot though...

    My workaround btw:

    - Put Xbox on offline mode

    - Boot up NFS payback

    - Play for like an hour offline, racing around each part of the map (there's a highway that covers the entire map)

    - Then go to the garage in the upper right part of the map, still offline

    - Switch Xbox One to online mode (connecting to internet, cable or wifi, either of them will do)

    - Go to NFS payback >>>start button>>>home>>>next to resume campaign click 'go online'>>> go back to your garage

    From here on out, the game may freeze for 30 seconds or so (for instance when you try to customize your wraps from community wraps), but just wait this out

    - When the game doesn't seem to freeze anymore, customize your cars a little while for 10 minutes or so

    After that, you can resume freeroam, or do races, story, whatever. This solution does not work all the time though, but I have managed to make it work 5/7 my last tries.

    Hope this helps
