Worst gaming experience ever! Never been so frustrated over a game.

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug i can no longer play online, at all. i have always had random connection problems, though sometimes it goes smoothly and even got ranked 195. when my '1' save file gets corrupted, i can't play online at all and am forced to delete it and start all over. i have done this at least 5 times. now i cannot play at all. i've gotten several error codes: DR1001, 40010000, FTJR2008. the same ones plaguing everyone else
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? for me, simply try to play online. it worked pretty good for a while, but got progressively worse, and now i cannot play online at all.
What happens when the bug occurs? 1. i get kicked from server randomly when playing online. my connection is good so its your end. 2. when playing single player, i get disconnected, and have sync fail. when i try to play online again, i get 'failed to create lobby' or 'item synch failed'. 3. now i cannot play at all online. cannot even play single player decently.
What do you expect to see? an expensive triple-A title to work decently without ridiculous problems it has now. i have never, ever, been so frustrated with any single game. i just want to play, but you guys can't even do that. horrible experience all around and nearly unforgiveable.

Seriously EA, this is the absolute worst experience for a "good" game. 
I have bought several DLCs to support the hard work of the game devs, but this is unacceptable.

I deserve a full refund for this atrocious game and its absolute failure.

    UPDATE: Even if i delete all my save files and attempt to start over, I get error code FTCL00001 every time I attempt to start a new online campaign.
    This is absolutely the worst.

    Hi @ChinoPisces sorry to hear this issue is hitting your account.

    Can you check a couple of things,

    1. If you have story mode progression, can you check how many cars you have? If near 200 (which I'm guessing you probably don't in Story mode) please sell some of them as there is a limit of 200 cars between both story and online mode.
    2. If any of those cars are broken, usual suspects are Porsche Taycan or VW Golf clubman, if they are broken (missing parts etc) please sell them
    3. If you have any DLC installed try uninstalling one of them, rebooting game and joining an online map, if this works you can close off the game again and reinstall the DLC pack. This should resync your inventory and hopefully remove this error code.

    This issue is being investigated further by the team.

    Thanks and apologies again.

    1. as i said, i've deleted my save game several times when they get corrupted. never had more than 20 cars at one point.
    2. see 1. Had Taycan last playthrough. Gone now.
    3. this did work. unchecked the DLCs on Steam and i was able to play online again. I still get disconnected randomly, though it gets in a groove once in a while.

    Your game is still screwed up. Criterion should do better. Really.

    I am unable to even go in freeroam or PVP multiplayer because of DR1001, in the past 6 days the only way I got into a game was once by luck, and the other times by tethering data from my phone which lets me play without any issues, ive tried everything suggested and nothing fixes it

    Summarize your bug File system sync error Error code:FTJR2008 When I try to connect to the internet, this message pops up and I can't connect and it just goes back to the main menu. What should I do? It’s PS5
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Into the Lakeshore Online. Occurs with a 100% probability
    What happens when the bug occurs? Can’t play online. but story mode no problem.
    What do you expect to see? If you can fix this bug, the game will be playable like it was in the previous update.

    ‌

    1. Message that comes up when trying to go online
    2. I thought I was able to log in, but then I went back to the main menu. (p.s. free roam to similar symptoms)
    3. It will look like the attached image.

    I still get randomly disconnected when playing online, which is really annoying and makes me not want to play.
    Why can't you guys get a stable connection? This doesn't occur with any other multiplayer game i play, only this game.
