PS5 Controller support on PC
The game is unplayable to the sense that you cannot rebind anything on the ps5 controller when on this game. Connecting though steam and setting up a config doesnt resolve the issue further. Loading into the game X on the ps5 or A on xbox for the main action button is R2 on the ps5 controller. camera is always facing down and looking backwards when booting into the game. Unplayable state on launch when heat worked like butter.

NFS Unbound Paint and Wraps not saving properly
Product: Need for Speed: Unbound Platform:PlayStation 5 Summarize your bug Wrap changes won't save properly and get removed shortly after. "Error code 9" appears when this happens. The game is "unable to save the file and will not store it". How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The bug started randomly a day ago and stops me from save wrap edits on every car. What happens when the bug occurs? Error code: 9 appears on my screen, the wrap edit appears to have saved despite the error code, shortly after that the wrap gets removed automatically. This only happens with changes after the error started, all changes made before the error started are still there. What do you expect to see? I would expect the wrap edits to save properly and remain equipped for as long as I want them to be. I have no idea what caused this issue but apparently sleep mode on the PS5 can affect file saving. I don't know if that's true, it's just the only thing I found that even slightly explains the problem.
Can't customize online character
Product: Need for Speed: Unbound Platform:PlayStation 5 Summarize your bug Can't customize online character How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure. What happens when the bug occurs? Can't equip anything on the character I chose. Some of the other models work but everything gets reverted when I leave the garage. What do you expect to see? To be able to customize my character. I chose the last character but I didn't customize it when I started online, just jumped straight in. After awhile I partied up with a friend then decided to customize after a few races but I couldn't select anything on my character and I couldn't change to some of the other characters. Some of the other models worked but every time I leave the garage it goes back to the default character. IT'S FIXED
