NFS prostreet error verifying ownership

Hi, I have a new problem when launching Need For Speed Prostreet, previusly when I had origin installed I could play it without any problem, but now with the new EA App, when launching the game it now says: In order to launch this game, please login to the EA Download Manager to verify ownership, then try again, and won't launch it. Is there any fix to this?. I already try contacting EA help but they said to post it here.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi, tried everything but it still won't work, it still says about needing verification for opening up the game, tried also reinstalling the game, and reinstalling the EA app also but won't work still.

    Having the same issue. I've tried every which way to get this game to work through the EA app and it cannot verify my ownership when I launch the game, even thought I'm using my CD key.

    So, was/is there an actual solution to that? Facing the exact same issue. Still.
    The error message looks like it is in Dutch for whatever reason but seems to be the exact same error message.

    Tried everything listed in the thread marked above as solution but all of that changed nothing and I still get the same error.

     

  • I'm experiencing the same issue with the Italian version still available on my account from the EA App.

    In short the game is trying to connect to a pre-origin activation server (we're talking about a 2007 game, when the client was indeed called EA Download Manager) which probably is not even online anymore. Even if you use an advanced firewall like pfSense to try to force it to connect to current day activation servers, it still fails to activate.

    Oh well. At least had quite some fun playing this game with my dad at the time 😅
