NFS Most Wanted 2012 - PS3 - Error 1f4 in 2025

The EA chat representative said to post here about this, he thinks maybe something on the back end might be fixable. On PS3, I cannot access AutoLog. After numerous attempts to troubleshoot on 4 different PS3s within my household, I have determined my PSN and EA combo cannot access AutoLog. I have also verified that PS Vita NFS MW works no problem with my credentials and my GF is able to access PS3 NFS MW no problem. I have been playing this game since 2013 and I really enjoy it, but lately it's been frustrating to know that on one platform, it works well on the go, and yet the full experience console version with paid DLC won't!

"You must be signed into PSN & EA servers in order to access the online features of this title" Error code 1f4.

I have tried:
-Network testing & config changes
-4 different PS3s
-Trying both regular and Limited Edition online passes (I have both I guess)
-Reinstalling Version 1.03 from scratch
-New save data
-EA Help's Live Chat with at least 5 people
-Relinking my PSN and EA, even as far as making a new EA account to force this step twice (stupid limit: a 6 month wait between each unlink/link process)
I literally signed up for EA using the in-game sign in/sign up feature
My PS Vita still sees everything as ok after all of this!! My GF is still able to play online no problem on the same network!

Thanks,
Kyle
