NFS Unbound - error code "FTCL50001"
Trying to play online and I get the error code FTCL50001. Lobby could not be created
Forum Discussion
I’ve read or at least tried to find anything useful regarding the Error code FTCL5001.
Short story there just isn’t any acceptable solution.
in no way is it acceptable to have all the time put in lost because resetting everything appears to be the only way to make the game playable again but that’s also a maybe.
Again this didn’t acceptable. After spending money on expansions to add something more to the game you can’t even use what you’ve paid for.
for the issue at hand and several others.

Are you getting an error message? Yes / FTCL5001
Date this issue started (is it still happening?)? First at the release date of Vol.3 and now from Aug 23, 2023 constantly making online impossible no matter what.
Is anything else happening? Yes, besides everything mentioned here on the forum “RE: Error code FTCL5001, as a result of error code or by happenstance, each time after this lovely error code I get all of the cars from the expansions again and again (yay free cars) … at one stage my garage had 180 cars, 90% only cars from the expansions repeated and repeated (boo 3 was cool, 15 is annoying as god damn hell especially when you can’t sort you cars .. deep breaths). Most recently, I lost all my purchased cars, only leaving the exclusive or expansion cars this also had the safe affect on my campaign but this also included all of the won cars (was super happy …) and finally, even if you manage to get into your online garage and don’t even attempt to find a game and would only like to tweak or buy anything well that would be a no, the purchase of a vechile will just say “purchase failed” and if you try to by and engine part it goes through to only rest the cash and part to what was prior the purchase and I’ve lost a huge amount of money from leaving a link up just got that blue evading bar get to the garage, enter the garage and then welcome to the game start screen, all that money? Gone, XP? While the bar for the progression does its little animated loading sequence that too is for nothing.
Please share any steps you've tried to far to resolve the issue: I have attempted various NAT address, contacted the ISP, reset the playstion, used only local save, then only online then both, then on expandable then back to local, used wired and wireless connection, reinstalled the game 3 times and even tried on a friends playstion on a different continent…
If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip... the clip is too large to attach but would happy email it to a provided email address…
If on PC, please share a DxDiag (Allows us to get PC Spec's, Check for errors/crashes, and look at drivers) No.
could you please assist?!
@shaneo914Yeah it's like Doryzzkendy said, we've been in contact with EA advisors and throughout everything that's been tried, the only thing that works at this time is selling cars both story mode and online mode and also deleting wraps seems to be the only way to get online to a server.Even then, you'll probably still get the error code FTCL5001 but then you can just bypass it and get online.Once you're online and say you head back to re enter a safehouse, half the time you get kicked back offline to the homescreen.Its just a constant cycle of deleting rides and wraps and trying to connect back online.

PS5 Issue Resolved
Below are the steps I used to fix the game. Hopefully this works for others.
1) Turn off Auto Sync Saved Data for NFS Unbound.
2) Delete all cars except 1 in both campaign and online. - I chose an old car I had for both - Not an unlocked or DLC.
3) Change character pose and banner audio in both campaign and online -I chose a standard setting for both, not an unlocked or DLC.
4) Exit game and restart console.
5) Download saved game data from cloud storage.
6) Restart game.
7) No errors and everything worked - No lost cars, wraps, or tunes.
8) Exit game and turn Auto Sync back on
Hope to see everyone experiencing this issue back on the streets soon!
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on a resolve as well!
I believe the root cause is in the new DLC content. I'm still dealing with the issue but I'm happy for the PS players that can fix the issue on their side, but as a Xbox player stuck with it,it's still annoying, but I'll still do my best to help find the root of the problem hopefully
