Unbound won't launch after vol.7 - PC/EA app
Hello, After the update, I started the game and was getting oddly long loading times as well as often frame drops to 10-15 fps. I closed the game and tried to launch it. The ea app opens a dialogue...

I think I've figured out the reason for the crash in NFS: Unbound. Apparently, the fact is that the game does not perceive the operation of the processor above 5.4 Ghz. The same problem was in Call of duty. To solve this problem, you will need the intel extreme tuning utility. After installing and running it, you will need to lower the processor frequency (screenshot attached). It sounds ridiculous, but it helped me.
Two PCs went crazy today. One of them started to ask for activation again, and the other one is experiencing this problem. The EA app opens and closes and that's it. I don't remember ever being this bored and tired of a game. Evening is different, morning is different. Something happens to itself. And we cannot get the slightest help.
What is the solution to this problem? Please explain properly. We have had no trouble since the day we bought it.
This problem is caused by the server, friends. I'm sure of this, do not play with your PC's settings. A file named EAapp_OnlineActivation_Log.html is created under the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\Logs folder. The file content is as follows. Can you check and verify?
The line I marked in bold is important. I hope a manager will bother to look into it. @EA_Illium

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for letting us know what you're running into with NFS Unbound.
I wanted to confirm who may still be running into an issue with launching Unbound from Steam? If so, would it be possible to get the following?
- EA ID (PSN ID/Gamertag):
- Are you getting an error message?
- If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip...
- If on PC, please share a DxDiag file and an EA app Error ID Number
Thanks!
Hi @EA_Illium
This problem has nothing to do with Steam. The same problem occurs in the games we play via ea app via ea play. The reason is due to the server.
Probably, when at least one of the system components changes or serial number in Windows changes, or motherboard bios settings changes (security related settings) it is detected as another PC other than the PCs recorded on the server side and blocked. For example, RAM may have been added. Or the graphics card may have changed. Or you may have changed the motherboard like me 🙂
We do nothing but prolong this period by constantly trying something new.
What needs to be done is not to start the game again until 24 hours have passed since we first experienced the problem. +24 hours are added every time we try. For example, if this problem occurred at 13:00 today, the game will open after 13:00 tomorrow. But if we try again at 18 pm, it will open at 18 pm tomorrow evening. This continues because we try 20 times a day 🙂 For this reason, the game never opens. You will wait..!!! Additionally, if you own more than one PC, this also affects all the other PCs.
This applies to all EA games with Denuvo protection. I already provided the log file. This file is not created when you enter the game. It only occurs when the server rejects you. "Warning License request failed due to concurrency guard" You already know what this means. Since too many attempts are made, you will be banned immediately.
The same solution is valid when there is an activation problem. If the activation box arrives and you see a red warning on it, you will wait 24 hours. If you don't wait, the same thing happens as I wrote above
The game is currently installed on 2 PCs and 1 laptop. I am using steam. It works flawlessly in all three. I researched a lot about the solution to this situation and read an article similar to the one I wrote in another very unrelated forum. And I only waited 24 hours. The game did not open on all 3 devices and was fixed automatically the next day.
