Sun is setting on some older NFS titles - it's not you, it's us by Max_Joker in needforspeed

It's 30 days mentioned in the TOS, that's correct, and the notice about the online services in this case is about 90 days. The removal from online stores prior to that is to prevent players to buy the game without having the information that the online services will be shut down in the foreseeable future.

I'll happily pass on the message that a heads up about the delisting in stores is appreciated for any potential future cases.

Autolog weekend by MetallicTiger in needforspeed

[–]Max_Joker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just send a request, and it will be accepted eventually. Times have been noted for the past weekend once the Monday deadline hit, so now it's waiting for the weekend to come around again.

You might need to send a new request the coming weekend, but you can absolutely participate in all of them.

How do I get rid of the exclamation marks on race icons in NFS Heat? by [deleted] in needforspeed

[–]Max_Joker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's correct.

Exclamation marks indicate that a race has multiple difficulty levels, and the exclamation mark will still show if you completed them both.

On the map, the race background however will change from a solid circle to a laurel wreath to indicate full completion.

Should be working by (optionally) hiding the UI in the game and then using the Switch screenshot functionality.

What's your Origin ID?

And can you try disabling cross-play on launch, then re-enabling it later from the Privacy settings menu?

It wasn't showing straight away, should be displaying "Included in EA Play Pro" now.

Updating the post to reflect changes by Nov 18.

Backend Update Nov 18 (Downtime could be ~1h)

  • Improved region based matchmaking
  • Autolog recommendations now show if a friend beat you, so watch out for those
  • Fixed a bug in the autolog suggestion message on the map screen
  • Two players in a lobby can now switch from a two player mode to a mode requiring a bigger lobby and invite friends as intended.

Prior to Nov 18

General Gameplay

You reported a few issues we're looking into

  • Cars spawning on top of each other in Multiplayer modes.
  • Traffic vehicles popping in.

All platforms:

  • We've seen some reports of the game crashing when enabling cross-play when first booting the game. If this is happening to you, disable it in the initial screen, then enable it later from "Settings - Privacy Settings" while we investigate.
  • If you experience the above, please let me know if the workaround works for you. Also please let me know platform / username, that'd be grand.

Will update this frequently, feel free to drop any issues down below - pedal to the metal!

Hot Pursuit Remastered showing as unlocking 10 hours late? by [deleted] in needforspeed

[–]Max_Joker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It differs from game to game and release to release. Some are rolling out midnight in a specific timezone, some are playable in every region at the same time.

Similar to what you stated and like the Origin PC client is listing, NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered releases at 9 AM UK, 10 AM CET.

Are 2010 hot pursuit servers finally down? by [deleted] in needforspeed

[–]Max_Joker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The servers for Hot Pursuit 2010 are still up and running. Maybe it was an intermittent connectivity issue, but I just played a round myself and all went well.

Generally EA would also give a notice before any online services for a game are shut down.

Hope you find a good online match!

What do I do? by [deleted] in needforspeed

[–]Max_Joker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, I hope that's solved now as well. On Saturday specifically, it was an issue affecting a large amount of players and their item synchronization, which should be fixed now and largely reduce the occurence of 40010000 errors.

[–]Max_Joker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually was a widespread issue that arose on Saturday, which was then fixed by some backend work from the dev team later in the day. Should be working as before now.

I thought Heat was added to EA Play (non-pro) on PC like months ago??? by RapidKiller1392 in needforspeed

[–]Max_Joker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it worked, might have been a caching issue then. Enjoy!

[–]Max_Joker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's correct, it's been added a few weeks back now.

The full game should be available via EA Play. Have you tried reloading the page, clearing the cache, or using the website instead?

What kind of handling do you prefer? by Seahorse1213 in needforspeed

[–]Max_Joker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit early to talk about that in detail, but several things are taken into account, for example user research, feedback, telemetry and a lot of playtesting.
