Re: need for speed error code 800d0000

Please follow our connection troubleshooting articles:

• https://help.ea.com/en/article/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/
• https://help.ea.com/en/article/connection-issues-with-origin/

In most cases this means that you will have to add an exception for NFS to your firewall and anti-virus. If you are unsure how to do that, try temporarily disabling those programs. Alternatively, you could do this via a clean boot, but this is not always effective.

Can you refer me to an article that details how to do this? The router is by xfinity. I spent (no joke) 30 hours trying to get it working.

@StefanRENYC

This is the general article:

• https://help.ea.com/en/article/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/

Steps are being explained in more detail, here:

• https://help.ea.com/en/article/losing-connection-to-ea-servers/

A step-by-step guide for your router can be found here:

• http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Need_for_Speed_Most_Wanted/default.htm -- all you have to do is select your router from the list and follow the steps.

Ok I will give this a shot. However, I will also ask: the articles you sent apply to the EA network. Is it possible there is connection error with psn also?

Also I think it is relevant to note that the PlayStation 3 that was older had the connection issue whereas the newer PS3 did not have a problem.

@StefanRENYC

That is possible indeed. The ports in the articles I linked are also for the Playstation Network, opening those should resolve any connection errors there.
