Hello,
I am look for help to resolve Error codes: FTCL5001 and F03, first code has been popping up for a while now which means I cannot log into a lobby, I’ve also been having problems with buying cars that I want but earlier I was able to sell cars but just Today I cannot sell cars also. Error code F03 Popped up today which means I cannot log into an online lobby. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but that resulted in One of my cars getting deleted and nothing else. These issues are happening on the Xbox Series X console.
Is there someone that can help me with these issues because I’ve been dealing with this for a long time now.
Thanks.
Hey Everyone,
The NFS team has released patch 7.1.0 today, I wanted to confirm if there was any change to this issue for anyone in the thread.
Thanks!

It's just as bad as before. Actually it might be worse, I have less cars than before and yet it still happens, sometimes i can't even join a lobby, let alone enter the garage.

It's happening to me also. This is the second time. I got on Unbound and noticed some of my cars were missing and restarted the game. All my cars are back but I can't buy or sell anything. Everytime I try to join an online lobby I get ERROR CODE F03.

I’ve been having this problem for a month and a half now, and it also started after the Unite mod (as they write to me, but I don’t think so), when I was jumping between online and story mode and the vanilla version.
This started in story mode after I lost the connection, when the game stopped counting the money I earned and started throwing me offline
But in addition to the error about an unsuccessful purchase, I get a lobby error when logging in online. The game also stopped loading quickly from the M2 SSD; once it did it in 5-7 seconds, now it takes 1-2 minutes. So I think it's some part of the server that can't quickly read saves or something like that. Since this problem is not only on PC, but also on PS5 and Xbox (and there is no mod like Unite)
I think that the mod has nothing to do with it, I’m now playing online with it again, since the vanilla graphics are simply terrible. I can’t buy a car, but judging by the playlists, the only one left is Subaru

Yeah, it's still happening and it's full force on my game, sometimes it won't even let me play on the whole session without disconnecting me
Hopefully this can be resolved as soon as it can be - 1 year ago
No it still isn't fixed. I re-installed the game completely, and still having the issue. Cannot create Lobby error FTCL5001. If I go in story mode, it gets disconnected in next 10secs and goes offline. Pressing tab and going back online, it only stays that way for a few minutes before going offline again.
Playing from PC.

- 1 year ago@EA_Illium Do you seriously think that the bug will fix itself with the release of a new patch? 27 pages in this topic, this is the most popular problem among the community, and instead of giving yourself an affirmative answer, you ask us if the problem has gone away with each release of the game update.

@chromiuuum Hey, calm down, Illium is not part of the development team, they're the community manager who is passing on the information to the team.
They're just doing their job by trying to confirm if the issue has been resolved as they're also not in the know of what stability changes have been made.
I say calm down, don't shoot the messenger and just politely confirm that the problem is still not resolved
- 1 year ago@TurboZino How can you be calm when this problem has been around for the 2nd year, and no one solves it, and messages from an EA employee after the release of each patch for the game look like mockery.
