There is a big problem with the new update volume 8. On the PS5 it is no longer possible to start this mode, or even begin a session. After a long loading time you are kicked out of the lobby and returned to the main menu without an error message. It is not the online connection that is to blame, as the PvP mode, on the other hand, works without any problems.
What could be the cause, is this problem already known and could it be fixed with a future update?
EA Staff (Retired)Can you play Story mode? If so enter Story mode, drive around, re-enter the garage.
Then back out all the way to the main menu of NFS Unbound and make sure you don't have any errors if you do not fully close the game and relaunch. Then test if you can enter the Online mode.
Hi @EA_Illium Thanks for the tip, I did it that way, but unfortunately I was unable to get into free roam mode. As I read here in the forum, several players have the same problem and many other problems such as with the car delivery and the missing daily challenge. These problems apply to me too. What I noticed is that after over an hour of trying to get into the lobby, it worked. Unfortunately, I was kicked out of the lobby after about 30 seconds...
EA Staff (Retired)Hi, @EA_Illium I've been having the same issues @ZimtsternLalaliu where I can't access the free roam of online vol 8
The only error message I receive is Error code: FTCL5001
Failed to create lobby.
It only shows up before I decide on PvP or Free roam.
Is this issue related or maybe something else?
Hi EA_Illium, when I try to get into free roam, it takes a long time to load and the screen goes black after the loading scene.
After that, it breaks off and automatically returns to the main menu. Then I have to reconnect to the server and go online. I get into the online garage and no error message appears.
Then I try to get into free roam again, it loads for a long time again, breaks off and I get back into the main menu, then I connect to the server.
Synchronization starts, then an error message FTCL5001 appears. This message doesn't always appear, sometimes it appears, sometimes none, sometimes the system doesn't synchronize at all.
Maybe after an hour or two, after about 30 logins, I get in once. Then I was kicked out of the lobby after about a minute, but if I get straight into free roam, I'm not kicked out of the lobby.
EA Staff (Retired)Hey @ZimtsternLalaliu @TheHondaToday
A temporary work around for this issue if you have any DLC/ Packs installed is to uninstall one of them, reload in and this should re-sync the inventory.
Launch the game and go to free roam and attempt to enter the map. If this works, then close off everything fully and reinstall the DLC again and it should work from then on.
This is being investigated further as well.
Hey @EA_Illium @ZimtsternLalaliu this temporary workaround has worked for me. Un installing one DLC didn't do it though, each time it didn't work I uninstalled another and tried again.
It finally worked once I had just the base game installed and now I am currently re installing everything.
* A weird thing I noticed was that even though I had uninstalled all the custom packs I had bought, I still had all my DLC cars and the option to buy them in the dealership.
Even in story mode
Hopefully it's nothing, I'm just happy my game is working again. Thank You very much @EA_Illium
Hey @EA_Illium @ZimtsternLalaliu so I think I might've celebrated early
After I got my game working I played for a bit and took a break. When I went to return to online, it started playing up once again exactly the same issues
It looks like I'm going to have to uninstall and reinstall my dlc every time I want to play online because that seems to be all that fixes it
Hi everyone, I've already tried uninstalling the individual DLC packs and then the complete DLC packs. A new installation without all the DLC didn't help either. The error remains unfortunately.
@TheHondaToday after about 50 login attempts and hours I get into free roam, I think it was by chance, without me having to uninstall or reinstall anything.
Sometimes I get kicked out of the lobby after a few seconds if I don't leave the garage immediately. Even if you want to return to the garage at some point, you get kicked out of the lobby.
I didn't notice that the cars from the DLC can still be in the garage and available for purchase despite being uninstalled.
I think EA is missing my point, I CANNOT PLAY THE GAME WITH MY DLC ON!
Dlc off game works.... but I'm missing cars, and all the dlc stuff....
