  Literally have been a week trying to figure this one out. spent the $80 on palace edition and have been playing with no issues since it came out. Now it says im connected everywhere just fine until i load up NFS then it cant connect to EA servers...🤷🏼‍♀️🧐.

Nothing from your guide works trust us. We have tired everything short of reinstalling WIdnows for those of us on PC. Came back two years later and still can't play online what an absolute piece of work. FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP

  Hey Everyone,
  
  Thank you for your continued reports on this issue.
  
  The team has released a new update today with Vol 8, I wanted to check if anyone is still seeing issues connecting to the internet once you've had a moment to grab this update?

    Hey,
    First of all, it's a shame that the developers don't seem to be addressing these issues.
    To answer your question, @EA_Illium , yes, after updating to Vol. 8, the problem still persists. Honestly, I don't want to go through all those files again, especially since others have done so and it hasn't been helpful.
    Here’s some more information:
    Platform: PC
    Version: Steam
    I’ve checked all the recommended solutions, but none have worked.
    When I click "Go Online," the sync starts but stops at 2/48 and 69/~248 (I don't remember the exact last number). After that, I get a notification that the sync didn’t work and that I should visit EA Support.
    However, I found a solution, even though it’s not ideal. Thanks to @DCDrumsGangnam for suggesting that deleting the SaveGame file allows you to go online again. It works—I can go online now.
    For anyone on PC who wants to go online, try this:
    Open File Explorer.
    Navigate to Documents on the left side. (If Documents isn’t there, go to: C:\Users\"Your PC Username"\Documents)
    Open the "Need For Speed(TM) Unbound" folder.
    Either delete the "SaveGame" folder or create a new folder named Backup, then drag and drop the "SaveGame" folder into it.
    Start the game.
    When the game asks "Go Online," press YES. Otherwise, you’ll need to start from step 1 again.
    You should now be able to join online, but all your progress will be lost.
    I’m going to test if it’s possible to "cheat" your story money, at least to buy back your cars. Swapping the "old" SaveGame file with the new one that connects online probably won’t work, as the settings are likely saved in the SaveGame.
    
    And to Quote @DCDrumsGangnam : "WTF EA."
    
    Cheers

I'm beginning to get the feeling that NFS Unbound is just completely broken and just doesn't want to connect online. PLEASE FIX THIS
