    HI @Starsimsss To confirm are you getting the same error as @livinwithaliens7?


    If not can you try going through the following steps?

    • Clear the systems cache (Close the game completely > Turn off the console > Wait 30-60 seconds > Restart and Relaunch)
    • Verify you signed into your PSN account
    • Check for updates 
    • Restore Licence
    • Try the steps in our Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
    • Open your PS5 NAT Type
    • Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)  
    • Entering Safe Mode and Rebuild your PS database

    If you continue running into issues connecting online, please let us know the following:

    Platform:

    PSN ID/Xbox GT:

    Region:

    Are you getting an error message?

    Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?

    Is anything else happening?

    Please share any steps you've tried to far to resolve the issue:

    If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip...

    If on PC, please share a DxDiag (Allows us to get PC Spec's, Check for errors/crashes, and look at drivers)

     

    Cheers!

    Looks like the only temporary fix for us at this time is us deleting cars just to get online.I have currently 101 online cars , 2 story mode cars and maybe a total of 15 to 20 wraps.Even having that amount in my garage, I'm still having to delete a car every time I want to get online.Is there any update on whether we are going to get a permanent fix to where we don't have to delete cars and wraps just to get online?And if so, what's the guesstimate time frame?Even with these problems occurring, I'm still spending money on the DLC's in the game and I absolutely love playing this game when I'm able to.Please EA help us out!!!

    @chromiuuum You're not alone...after numerous attempts of doing the delete trick, it eventually stopped working for me too.Unfortunately, I had to delete my entire save data and start completely over from scratch.
