Re: NFS Unbound - Purchase Failed error when buying cars

Hey there,

There is a limit of 200 cars between both Story mode and Online. That's what is triggering the purchased failed error. To be able to buy more cars you'll have to sell some offline.

    Why can't you just set the limit higher?

    Shouldn't that be the problem in 2024?

    Or you no longer separate the garages so that all offline vehicles are also available online or vice versa (probably more useful because of the activation playlists).

    Obviously many players have this error.

    Does that mean I now have to sell my painted and tuned cars offline so that I can then buy them online?

    That can't be the solution!

    It can't be that I laboriously earn 175 cars offline, paint them and invest a lot of credits for tuning so that I now have to sell them all again to have space in the online garage.

    It should actually be possible to increase the limit to at least 500 cars.

    Other game manufacturers like Forza Mototorsport, Forza Horizon, The Crew and Gran Turismo also get it.

    It would be nice if there was an update in this regard as soon as possible, in which the missing tick/cross would be added so that you can see which cars you have already bought.

    This shouldn't be that difficult to implement

    There are a total of 216 cars in the game. As a collector and perfectionist you reach your limits here.

    I generally always like to have all the cars available in a game.

    What kind of racing game is this and what kind of logic?

    Well, offline probably won't be an issue anymore, but it's still a shame about the beautiful collection.

    Above all, there has to be space for more than 200 cars, because, strangely enough, the Audis that you didn't have to buy are in the offline and also in the online garage.

    And at that point I had already the mistake that I couldn't buy any more cars.

    I have 175 cars offline and another 59 cars in the garage online.

    Makes a total of 234 cars. So something is wrong here with the statement: Limit 200 cars.

  • I dont even have 20 cars and this happens Story mode and online, also getting kicked out of online all the time.story mode, :lost connection" online also the same, kicks me out.

    I have a total of 4 cars throughout online and offline and I’m still having the problem… any suggestions?

  • The Vol. 7 game update has been released, I still have the lobby creation error FTCL 5001, and I can’t buy a car... 

    despite the fact that my friends are doing great, they even have twice as many cars as me

    The other day I updated the game to vol 7, and after that I can’t buy a single car, not in a single game, not online, it says a "purchase failed", everything is fine with the save, I’m playing on a PC, help me solve the problem, I haven’t tried anything.
    P.S. there are 110 cars online, 70 in a single game, I know that there can be a maximum of 200 cars

    I play on PC, Steam

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report a bug I encountered in Need for Speed Unbound. While attempting to purchase a car within the game, the purchase failed, and I was unable to complete the purchase. Below are the details of the issue:

    • Game Version: current season and season 6 I have encountered this bug
    • Platform: Pc Steam/Ea
    • Any car within the online multiplier
    • story mode is not affected by this bug

    Try this:

    Back the game up using Steam back up.

    Then uninstall it

    Delete the Excalibur folder if it's still there

    Delete the NFS Unbound folder in MyDocuments.***** Make sure to keep a copy of your save file, just in case. 

    Once done, do this:

    Restore game from back up

    run it and wait for EA App to finish doing whatever it does.

    Once back in game, hopfully you can buy cars again.

    This is a quicker way of reinstalling the game as it circumvents having to redownload ~35gb of game files, so long as you have 35gb of space spare. 

  • So you decided to connect the story mode in terms of car limit, yet you dont let us transfer our cars between online and offline like in heat? Furthermore theres 152 cars before custom cars and DLC cars. I must say, very poor execution on your part.
