Re: Can't launch NFS Unbound on Steam

I have the same problem, I run the game via Steam, EA App shows up and that's it. It doesn't work... I'm disappointed because I wanted to get this title but I will have to return it.

I had the same issue today. I tried out a few changes. But in the end what worked for me was to remove (or in my case simply zip and rename) the folder "qmlcache" in the folder %localappdata%\Link2EA\cache. Afterwards i was able to start the game from steam. 

In addition to that I added before hand manually the EADesktop.exe and the game .exe (like "<steamlibrary>\common\Excalibur\NeedForSpeedUnbound.exe") in the windows firewall as exception (both were not explicitly in my list beforehand)

Man, you are a lifesaver! thanks a lot. only this method worked for me.

I have the same problem, I buy and install then run the game via Steam, EA App shows up and that's it. It doesn't work after that.

So what should i do for fix that. please EA team, help me for this issue, also you guys if has some issue and can fix it. 

You have to be logged in the EA app. Open the EA app and see if you need to log in again. I was disconnected and couldn't launch the game, log in the app again and now it's starting without any problem 

cpu: ryzen 5

gpu: rtx 3060 ti 8gb

ram: 16 gb

disk space available: 400gb

operating system: windows 10 pro

tried login ea and start the game - not helping

tried app recovery to clear cache - not helping

tried running game on administrator - not helping

tried disable and re-enable the game through firewall - not helping

tried uninstalling and re-installing the game - worked

but now not working again. i'm tired to wait for another few hours to uninstall and re-install just to play. Hello EA Games, any other method can you help with?

update:

tried running from ea app - not working

tried running from steam - not working

tried running from the steam library folder itself - not working

tried running from nvidia app - worked

let's see what's gonna happen tomorrow.

update:

today is the next day. why am i not surpirsed, the app refused to start from nvidia app

 but i came acorss this ea site: https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/ea/ea-app/close-background-apps/

all the methods it suggest just explain how weak the app is and many of them implies you need a superb skill to browse through the task manager and identify each name for each program so you can shut them down

but the last point, just scroll to the bottom of the page and read the "Origin" point. It only mention slightly about cross-apps may cause the game to not run properly so i try it.

- i exited nvidia, steam, ea app and open ea app only and start nfs from there. - worked

a new day, a new start, tried all the working and not working methods, they are all not working today (except reinstall the game). it's really frustrating especially EA actually marked this as solved issue which clearly all the bros here (and even on youtube) are complaining the smae issue

Just bought the game today and it shows the no connection error from EA despite being connected to the internet. Still looking for solution
