This issue has an associable Error Code: FTLC5001 that isn't crucial (occurred often and didn't affect the gaming experience)
I was casually playing NFS Unbound with rare occasions of the game kicking me offline only when I was completing Link Ups - this happened about 6 times before 21.08.23 (europe) since Vol.4 update (nothing before). Connection speed does seem not to affect probability since my friend with high-volume ethernet got the same issue. It was frustrating but acceptable for me cuz I could immediately go back (well without gaining xp for bp). However, today's game kicked me and doesn't let me play multiplayer. I essentially enter the lobby but it immediately kicks me out. I made this conclusion by seeing a wheel chat message on a black screen during one of the tries.
Here's the URL to the video of my ...teenth attempt to log in: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oxllrUKF4eB8XZRUBlwrCgQU53tphEWR/view?usp=drive_linkIn NFS Unbound I have started getting an error when I try to go online "failed to create lobby code: FTCL5001" followed by a "failed to load inventory" and then I get booted back to the home screen. I am very lost because I play NFS all day every day, and now I can't. What can I do? I had every hyper car and supercar and multiple ones of each model with different setups. I know it's just a game, but I am very lost right now because I am disabled and have been playing every day all day and now, I am lost without it. Is there anything I can try? I uninstalled the game and rebooted my Xbox Series-X and re-downloaded it and installed it and it gives me even more errors now. Please help me.
update: I tried a new account and the lobby and cars load fine. The error seems to be related to my user account I am playing with. I probably have over 50 million dollars worth of cars so I am wondering if there is a way to fix my save file for my user account since the error is related to it that user only. I am playing on an Xbox series-X. I am assuming the save file is on the xbox and the cloud. Is there a way to delete the local save file and then re download it from the cloud? Is that even a possible solution?
I got the game to work by selling some of my 174 cars down to 57, now it’s fine, i am flabbergasted that I didn’t have to part with my collection of hyper cars, I didn’t like a and b class anyway, it was so slow and boring, I closed my eyes on most stretches to rest them for a little bit while I raced.
- It's definitely a server issue...I get exactly the same with my plastation with a different code, I can play story mode but not online, and this has been happening ever since Volume 4 of nees for speed unbound was released....EA need to fix this asap
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.

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?!
@shaneo914 bruh that has to the the worse extent of the bug I've heard off, that sucks, anyways there isn't anything really you can do except sell cars and delete wraps, both on single and multiplayer due to them being linked, the issue doesn't come from our end, nor the Devs but the server itself, EA need to talk to the guys that run their servers for Unbound to see if the issue can be fixed

@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.
Dear EA team, today I wanted to play online again, and then these two messages came up and I can no longer play online at all. And once again, cars doubled and tripled in the story, even though I had already sold them all! I paid a bunch of money and bought all the packs, so I want to play online again. Fix your game as soon as possible.

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.
