Quick question about Need For Speed connection during gameplay.

Hello everyone. I just want to buy this game to play in solo mode, without friends or people. But, I have a question: I have internet connection, but it's unstable... and the question is: If I am playing in solo mode and, in that moment I lose my internet connection... The game crashes to the main menu and it's unplayable until the connection restarts? Or I can still playing it because I'm in solo mode?

Thanks for the answer. And one advice for you, EA: You're losing sales in every platform because the "always online" requirement. Read some forums and listen Need For Speed fans, like me. 

Thanks again.

    If you lose the connection, you will be booted out of the game. You sadly won't be able to continue playing in solo mode.

  • Hi @FrancisRossiTOG

    Test your network connection from a PC

    If you have access to a PC on your network, run a UOTrace for a comprehensive look at the quality of your Internet connection  https://help.ea.com/en/article/connection-troubleshooting-basic/

    After that if your issue persist....

    -clear DNS cache

    https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+To+Clear+Your+DNS+Cache


    - clearing hosts file
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

    -restart your PC.

    - run the setup file Origin with Admin rights  http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/#2

    NOTE If the problem isn't with your home network or your PC settings, you may be "losing your lease," which means that for some reason your PC has lost the IP address provisioned by the cable company. Check your IP address (launch Run and type "cmd" then "ipconfig/all"). If it starts with 192 or 10, you may have lost your lease.

    Thank you very much for your help my friend! 

    Then, the game is unplayable (crash to main menu) even in solo mode, if during gameplay I lost my connection for some reason (IPS fail, storms, bad weather...) ?

    We're welcome @FrancisRossiTOG

    If your modem has a built-in router, you can try resetting the router ,there is a hidden button behind the modem/router, press it with a thin object, with a pin or something.If you've already tried this...

    I think you have a problem with cable Internet most certainly.

    Somewhere along it has a problem that most often not visible to the naked eye. You need to call your internet provider.

    The actual question was a bit below the part you quoted:

    "and the question is: If I am playing in solo mode and, in that moment I lose my internet connection... The game crashes to the main menu and it's unplayable until the connection restarts? Or I can still playing it because I'm in solo mode?"

    Yes you are right @Straatford87 I had to be more explicit in terms for my response.

    I felt the need to clarify the ,,point''- because i not respond for the sake of giving an answer or to obtain any ,,picky rank ''.😉

    About my question... I know you guys, will add an offline mode to the game, in a future. When that will happen, I'll buy the game, not now.

    Thanks anyway.
