Hi @BenDoverCommy,

I've merged topic as they are on the same issue. We recommend using the top right hand side toolbar in the forums to save re-posting the same issues

And again.

 

I don't know what's sadder, the inability or lack of interest in fixing this or the fact that I keep trying....

Has any solution been found to this? It's plagued me this weekend trying to complete the weekly event.

No connectivity issues and I've verified the integrity of the local files.

I've also tried a clean reboot after every failed attempt to connect.

Same as others, the matchmaking process starts and then it ties to connect and immediately you get the NM14 error code. I then have to terminate the program manually.

Not sure if it helps but I tried and failed to connect at:

4pm

5pm

10pm

All times BST.

So, here we are again. NM14.

14:00 BST

This time with a brand new PC, i7-9700, Win 10 Pro, NVIDIA RTX2060 with all files checked and verified as per instructions.

Do we have any ideas here?

I will try again at evening

hope I can join in race

I'm still new to this game, but already experienced this error message as well today. I simply tried connecting to an online race again and it worked, so I didn't really think too much of it. But yeah, this error code is real. I hope this is only a slight hiccup and doesn't turn into a real problem?

Can you please check connectivity settings @rogere @craigmont924

Also a complete bug report is vital for us to understand issues if possible. How to do is in the green taskbar at the top of this page.

Just general router settings, firewalls, NAT types etc. A google should help you find everything needed. Wired/Wireless

This is clearly a bad implementantion of the online events, How can codemasters rely on user connections for this?

You wait 1 hour to join an event just to get this error because aparently the host you trying to connect quited or has connection issues, this happens on online multiplay also when you get a loop for migrating host that never ends.

Just think about this next time you think to buy a codemasters game. F1 2020 will same has this, total garbage.

Any solution about that??

I'm new here, just registered to find out more about this error code. I had it last weekend when trying to join the weekly event, but didn't try again after that. Today I've tried twice already to join the weekly event and both times I get the same error code NM14 and then it just hangs trying to connect to the online server and I have to manually terminate the program. I've tried verifying the files and they are all okay, I'm pretty sure it's not a connection issue as everything else in the game works properly. I'm at a loss to understand what the solution is here, but it seems I'm not alone.....

Hi guys, it happens to me too. I've experienced this in F12018 and in the past months too, but in the recent events it happens all the freakkin time.

Maybe its related to codemasters servers handling too much traffic (covid 19) but I really dont know.

The weird thing is sometimes the issue is resolved after a FULL restart of my pc. But not always. I can't waste hours trying to join a race. BTW, why they only let you play in the afternoon? Why only every hour and not half-hour?

[andreemorais 0]

But what a huge **** these codemaster servers are
you pay to have fun and get more stressed
this damn NM14 error is the cumulative
and 1hr to 1hr events that ridiculous ...
because it doesn't do every 30min, 15min
codemaster fell a lot in my concept

@andreemorais please don't type in this font size, no matter how frustrated you are, nobody can take you serious like that unfortunately.

it is simply impossible to play an event in this game - 4 hours to try to connect and just an error

congratulations for the codemaster incompetence

I totally understand your anger. I'd be fuming if I couldn't play online in a game I purchased and a service the game requires I pay into to use. I can't believe an issue like this exists. I feel for everyone having to deal with this. I truly hope this gets sorted out. This should be of top priority for Codemasters to get to the bottom of and fix so everyone can enjoy these events. You can't fix something if you ignore it. Judging by this thread, this has been an ongoing issue for over 10 months.

Tried to connect to the weekly event race three times today, three times I lost at the "NM14 lottery". Now it says I have to wait almost 15 hours until the next game. If the devs can't fix that error (which is on their end, not on ours - there is nothing we can do to fix this), they need to change the interval for those races. One hour wait and then even 15 hours - are you serious?!? Or maybe, can you just send me my points and trophy for the top 5%? 😉

forget it man, this codemaster forum is just embellishment - why some developer see this and solve it is far from happening
A bunch of incompetent
Today I tried 5x to connect and all NM14 error - and in short, now the sessions are over.

And so it continues.....

 

Managed to get in at 2pm BST but crashed out (operator error)

Tried again at 3pm BST - NM14

and again at 6pm BST - NM14

Is this happening more on a Sunday than a Saturday? It it traffic related?

 

***update*** I did eventually get in at 8pm BST (only to be punted into the wall by a rake of AI cars on lap 1. Gave up)

No-one knows what's going on, it seems. My guess is that the matchmaking process chooses a bad host. Once I was in a weekly event race in which we were only 3 human drivers. It was at 3 or 4pm. I highly doubt that there were not more players around, but I guess that they simply got this NM14 error, because the host had a bad network. (Not me, I hope)

So, no, we can't do a thing about it. Codemasters would need to provide dedicated servers for the weekly event races (and ranked games) in order to eliminate NM14, I believe.

[2501xD 0]

I cant play 5 laps ranked multiplayer, but i can 25% 🙈

Also no luck with weekly events

 

[Henryvictor 0]

Same thing here..

error NM- 14

couldn`t play any events so far...getting this over and over again, common CM

[Scratchmane 1]

Yeah 2 times today, trying to join weekly event race. NM14 error both times.

This is a problem as the challenge to get the car livery HAVE to have you race in the weekly event.
