Why NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED 2012 ONLINE IS SHUT DOWN

hi, i muste write it because you dont know how much important this game was for me. my all memories from childhood have this game. every moment in my life was with this game. The best THE BEST game of my life with the best time… please unlock online system, i must feel that one more time. PLEASE i spend so much life in this game and i miss this feeling so much

  • Hi there, 

    These shutdown decisions are never easy, but as players move on to newer games over the years, the active online community eventually drops. When that happens, it's unfortunately no longer possible to keep the servers running.

    You can still jump back in and enjoy the entire single-player campaign offline anytime. We truly appreciate you sharing just how much this game meant to you.

    How are you a community manager spouting something so ignorant lmao. Just making stuff up for no reason. 

    The game was never officially shutdown. The games' servers on consoles work completely fine. The issue is related to the PC servers itself. MW2012s PC servers are still physically running, but their PHP executioner has been seemingly disabled and constantly dumps its PHP source code when you ping it. Instead of executing the PHP code, it treats it as a static text file, therefore dumping its contents publicly.  You should probably forward this issue to a specialist.

    See the dump log below as you can clearly see it's a platform exclusive problem:

    ==============================================

    Test endpoint: /json/test

    PC hawaii-pc.needforspeed.com

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

    Content-Length: 1688

    The PC server returns the PHP's source code for echo3's index.php instead of executing it

    ==============================================

    PS3 hawaii-ps3.needforspeed.com

    HTTP/1.1 409 Component not Found

    Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)

    X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.45

    Content-Length: 0

    The PHP gateway appears to be executing normally and rejecting the nonexistent component

    ==============================================

    PS Vita hawaii-vita.needforspeed.com

    HTTP/1.1 409 Component not Found

    Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)

    X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.45

    Content-Length: 0

    The same behavior as PS3, showing that PHP is executing on this server

    ==============================================

    The PS3 and Vita servers clearly appear to be executing PHP and processing requests, whereas the PC server is serving the PHP gateway source as a static textfile

    I had tested /json/richpresence/setrichpresence, /json/, and /index.php on PC. All returned the same 1,688-byte PHP source file.

    PC's server most likely has a misconfigured PHP handler, while the PS3/Vita configurations function as they should
