    Given that Origin is discontinued and closed, not sure how long that little work around will survive.

    I only ever have issues installing and running games from EA. Steam, Battle.net, Rockstar, Ubisoft and Epic all work fine with no issues at all.

    I have GamePass Ultimate on Xbox/PC so I wanted to play the 10 hour FIFA 23 trial on my PC but could not get it run. Origin, which I was using at the time, would not recognise that I had the GamePass subscription so did not allow me to download the trial and the EA App showed that I could download and play the trial but would keep throwing up an error. In the end, I bought the game via the EA App and it downloaded. My excitement was short-lived as the game's infuriating anticheat software kept crashing on launching the game preventing it from even loading.

    I was eventually able to load the game after a patch a few weeks later but it required me to launch the EA App and game as admins otherwise the game will not launch. Even now I cannot just, you know, play the damn game from the EA App without messing around to get it to load (I tried last week and EA Anticheat was crashing again).

    It has been an absolute nightmare and one that never affected previous FIFAs on PC. There is something seriously broken with their anticheat software in my opinion. The annoying thing is that I only play the single player career mode and never touch the online modes least of all FUT so the anticheat is kind of a hurdle I really don't need.

    As for NFS Unbound, well, I only have the EA App installed now and was able to download the trial and load it, no problems, (no EA Anticheat certainly helps!!!) but when I open the desktop shortcut I am told that the game was downloaded to a different account and to sign into that!!! I only have the EA App installed and no-one else uses my account or PC. Fortunately, the game opens fine from within the app but it is yet another nail in the coffin for EA's games for me. I would be happy if I never had to use EA's software ever again!

    The gfx look amazing but i'm not sure about all the cell shading effects and chars.

    Also the AI police seem really bad atm. Escaping from the police in an a unmodded Mitsubishi Eclipse should be way harder than it is.

    This game seems to be much better on my Xbox Series X with really fast loading times and near identical visuals to the PC on max settings, as far as I can tell from a quick go this morning. That 10 hours trial on GamePass is certainly very handy.

    Yes my good friend , i will do the same and download nfs 2015 again as i'm skipping this new nfs unbound game as it is not my thing as i hate the cartoonish characters , cartoonish smoke , handling , drifting , rubber banding , physics and everything else.

    See you in game for some fun races and drifting bro. Long live Need For Speed 2015 :D . if you guys want to join us you are all welcome for some good friendly racing , drifting fun.

    Why the grass/trees are so bad?
    Why they dont have individual graphics settings? (I see only medium / high etc etc)
    Latest nvidia driver.

    Game looks fun though.

    I tried to find a Need for Speed 2015 but I can't seem to find it..... is it the one called just Need for Speed? I'm a bit confused on that, because it was released in 2016.

    [​IMG]

    Looking at games on Origin made me realize EA has so little actually good video games on Origin, more interested in selling DLC.
     
  15. So many people returning to NFS2015, that's so cool!

    @KissSh0t Yes, just Need For Speed. We call it NFS2015 because it released on PS4 first (2015) and then later in 2016 they released it on Origin.On my origin it looks like this:
    nfs_2015.png

    And btw. I agree with you 100% that EA has very little interesting/new games atm.

    EA ****** up, there is no vbios fix for the game, the GOP/DisplayID updates don't affect anything once windows is posted and booted.
