Game backup doesn't work after changing ROM - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently flashed a new version of my current ROM and although Real Racing works like a champ after restoring my Titanium backup, NFS Most Wanted won't play ball. When I try to launch the app I get the message "NFS is not authorised for this Android device, and it immediately closes. Going to the Play Store whilst logged into the same Google account I purchased the game with shows me NFS as if I had not purchased.
Restoring my nandroid of the earlier ROM allows me to go to the Play Store (logged in with the exact same Google account) and NFS MW shows as purchased.
Presumably this is to do with device ID, perhaps? Can anyone explain, please?
EDIT:
Resolved by restoring nandroid where game worked, flashing new ROM from scratch and restoring Android ID from old nandroid when asked by Titanium if I wanted to keep new ID or restore old Android ID.

[Q] Unfortunately play store has stopped, and talk, and plants vs

So I bought two of 7'' A10 Google Android 4.0 OS MID Capacitive Touch Screen Gsensor Tablet [By TabletExpress] from Amazon for my two sons for Christmas. They came rooted and I set the first one up with all the kids blocks and apps and it worked great! Then I went to one for my ten year old and decided to delete talk not knowing that it would screw up the whole thing. Before my error was No Connection. But After browsing the forum I figured out no talk, no play store.
I used the other tablet with Titanium back up to back up all the correct installs of play store and talk and re installed both. Now my error for play, talk and plants vs zombies is Unfortunately Play store has stopped.
Because I have no idea who manufactured the tablets I haven't been able to get a good factory restore. I can factory restore but it won't re install the deleted programs. I tried a nand backup of the working tablet and it won't install on the other tablet.
I have downloaded the gapps for the correct build and installed those, no luck.
Can someone help me with which way to go? I feel like I am chasing my tail in circles...

Anyone know why the Play Store doesn't always restore apps?

I've always found the Play Store to be incredibly inconsistent when it comes to restoring apps.
When I recently Odin'd back to stock and signed into my Google account, the Play Store instantly began downloading all of the apps that I had installed on the last ROM. Apps that had been uninstalled were not re-downloaded; it only restored the apps that were on the phone most recently.
But when I just installed Synergy and signed into Google, it didn't bother restoring anything. I know that I can go to All Apps > All, but this is just a huge list of every app that I've ever downloaded on an Android device. It's far more tedious.
Anyone know the reason for this inconsistency?
(And no, I'm not a fan of apps like Titanium Backup.)
Some roms give you a check box to check if you want to restore apps and some dont. It should ask if you want to backup your apps and if you want to restore apps during the install.

Google's play store backup only backs up your last ROM that you signed into with your Google Account.
So, if you didn't restore all of your apps when you flashed another ROM, Google Play restored "0" apps for that ROM and made a backup with "0" apps. That's why you aren't getting any restored.
I recommend Titanium Backup.

[Q] Apps missing from 'My Apps' in Play Store

Hi there,
First I'd just like to say that I've tried every solution and guide I could find in the last hour or so. I'm running a Telstra HTC One XL with the latest ViperXL ROM, and the Bulletproof kernel.
My issue is this: I recently completely wiped the ROM and all data/settings etc. Before doing so, I backed up just a few apps that I wanted with Titanium Backup. After I was setup again, I restored the apps, but I can't get them to be detected in the Play Store. I've tried Market Fixer, Titanium's Market Doctor, clearing data+cache for the store and google services framework and rebooting, installing the apparent newest leaked version of the Play Store from here on the forums. Frankly I think I've only made the issue worse - the only app Titanium detects as being installed now is the Play Store. The My Apps section in the play store only shows apps that I've installed since reinstalling the rom.
I should mention that I made a new google account recently - some or all of the apps I'm not seeing may have been installed/last updated under the old account. I haven't touched that old account since the new installation. It occurs to me that I could probably just uninstall and reinstall most of my apps, but that would defeat the purpose of backing up.. I'd lose the associated data/settings/files.
Appreciate any help.
Tl;dr: Are there any other ways than Titanium's Market Doctor to link apps restored from a backup, with the market, when they haven't necessarily been associated with the current Google account previously?
*Btw, the old account no longer exists.

[Q] Will titanium backup work with data from a sideloaded app?

Hey guys, I was wondering, since I like to try the full version of a game by sideloading it first and playing for a while, will the data that I back up on titanium while it's sideloaded be able to be restored to the paid version from the Play Store if I purchase the full app? You know, because if I like a game or application enough, I'll purchase it for the updates and to support the developer. So If the data is backed up while its sideloaded and not paid, and I buy the application, can it be restored so that I don't have to start over and my data isn't lost?

Try and find out. As you are using warez you will find no help here. Also be careful. Most of those apps contain things like keyloggers and data miners.

Play store not restoring all apps

Okay guys so I've had this issue before, it's an Issue with play store not restoring all apps after reinstalling a new ROM.
It causes me a lot of time to have to restore & individually download about 50% of the apps that didn't manage to restore from play store.
You can see them all sitting my my apps/all section of the play store but in the history yet not restored/installed.
Very rarely have I ever managed to have the play store restore every single app without fail.
Anybody else experiencing this problem?
I know that I could theoretically use Titanium Backup to restore the apps but this shouldn't be necessary for apps downloaded from play store
Titanium backup restores are far quicker......and use no data. And puts your phone back the way it was....aside from system settings.
Not sure why anyone would not use it who flashes ROMs.
