Unbound goes to black screen and crashes in seconds PC
My game boots to a black screen and crashes all in under 4 seconds. There are no crash logs or anything, I own the game through xbox pc gamepass. I have reinstalled the game, checked drivers/OS updates, checked my Direct X, restarted my pc. i5-13420H 16gb ram SSD RTX 4050
FPS Cap at 40 after playing like 15 mins
As said in the title, FPS gets capped at 40 after some play time. This happened to me with NFS Heat as well, uninstalled it, tried Unbound and it's still the same. I have a laptop that has RTX 4060 and 7640HS, 16 gigs of ram. I don't know what's the problem. Some people on reddit mentioned it's about the services that anti-crack systems detect, but I don't see anything wrong with the services.Connection problem
Hello guys. I am playing Need for Speed no limits for 3 years now and I have my profile that is 123 level with 43 cars in my garage. Few days ago I bought an iphone 13 pro max and I wanted to play from there. I created my apple ID and my game center to the same google account that I had my nfs account. Suddenly the game started from stage 1. I was really confused so I tried numerous times to log in with my real account. But it just starts from the start over and over again. I still have the profile on my old phone so I know it's there but for some reason NFS denies my entry from my new phone. It doesn't even show that there is a profile there. How can I fix this issue?NFS Unbound Constant Crashing Despite Trying Many Solutions (Steam)
Hello, I got Unbound on the recent sale and while the game isn't totally unplayable, I can't go more than an hour without the game crashing. Often, it crashes sooner. The game seems more sensitive to crashing when I'm running Firefox in the background, which is frustrating because I like to listen to videos while I play. The crashes are usually just close to desktop with no error message. They happen most often when loading between two areas (e.g., before starting a race) or alt-tabbing in and out of the game. I don't experience crashes on any other NFS game. I've looked around on various forums and videos for solutions and have tried many, but nothing seems to work consistently. I'm open to any alternative suggestions. Here is a list of the things I have already tried doing: - Updating windows - Updating GPU drivers (most recent NVIDIA studio driver) - Reinstalling the game - Verifying game files - Clearing game cache and shader cache - Clearing EA app cache - Locking the game to 60 FPS - Setting the game to borderless - Disabling DLSS - Disabling Steam overlay - Disabling as many background tasks as I can - Running the game in administrator mode - Setting the game to default high performance mode on Windows Finally, my PC exceeds the system requirements for the game--GPU is a 4070ti and CPU is a 7600X.
PS5 - Acceleration issue only on Events when using Logitech G29
Just as the title states. I just got this game and love to drive around on free roam. Everything is fine apart from the clutch pedal being useless with the shifter (another issue but different). However any time I join one of the events (just started single player story mode) , the car seems to want to accelerate but not, all at the same time. You cant increase the speed when pressing accelerator pedal, in events its stuck revving itself even when not pressing pedal. But its fine when not doing events??? Please help.Low fps can get over 60 on any setting
It defaults to ultra and cant get above 60, small freezes/stutters 3060 12gb vram , 32gb ram, 15 10600k ive set settings to low + dlss balanced but i only get to about 45 - 58 fps ive done the github fix for it and it solved high cpu usage i got not clue what to do last time i played was about 2 years ago and it ran perfectly don't know what happened.bug where the speed of the car is limited and you can't move forward or reverse
The speed of the car is limited even when the accelerator is pressed, so the car hardly goes forward and does not reverse. Of course, I checked whether it was manual or automatic, and even though it was automatic, the car did not go forward due to speed limit. And I checked the key setting, but there is no problem. All car types have problems.Ps5 controller not working properly in Nfs unbound EA
Hi, I have seen this problem posted 3 years ago and there is still no fix?? Gone through a lot of videos and forums, but there is no fix for this very awesome platform. How is this even possible in a racing game.. Is there a way to transfer the game to steam, where they do have support for controllers? Probably not, but Im honestly furious since this was my favorite game to play with a controller. Maybe there is a way to downgrade EA app, so I could launch it through steam as a nonsteam game and then have the controller support, because now it wont let the games start if ea app is started through steam.Manual transmission not working in a race
I have a thrustmaster wheel and shifter set up that works perfect when Im driving around the city. Once I join a race, the car barely moves and glitches out like the brake is being pumped and non of the gears work. How hasn't anyone found a solution to this? I read this happening to others but no solution. Im on PS5
"Network connection problem"
I cant play online, when it starts checking transaction and goes to some number like 78 it just stops and says something about connection problem. I did those things - Clear cache of the EA app - Clear the cache again and remove the app from your PC via these steps - Install a new version of the app None of those worked. Here is a photo of the error.
NFS UNBOUND NOT CONNECTING PC
So I got the game from the start and could not connect online (even after I've changed my ISP) so I played offline for a bit then about a year ago I said let's give it another try and didn't connect so I gave up again and earlier this week let's give it another try and surprise my game could not conect. EA Guide is a bunch of BS, tried everything even with a new Windows intstall I'm not the only one with this problem and that's the main problem which is sad because the suits at EA only care about filling their pockets and not listening to us the players because we buy their games Forza Horizon 3/4/5, The Crew 1 / 2 /MF never had a connection issue while playing those games so EA just DOES NOT CARE This was my rant about this persistent problem, thank you for reading this and to all the players have an awesome day and to the suits at EA go.....yourselves
A slew of fixes that need to be addressed no matter what, Kaizen!
Before I start, I want to say that I contacted an EA manager who I won't name and gave them a lot of very frank feedback about the current state of Unbound not being in the best it could be because of all these persistent bugs I've found and learned. All I ask is for fixes and not more content, as much as people would want the latter more. So allow me to list all the bugs that were left unfixed that I and likely many others have been having, working my way from the smallest things to the bigger ones... Minor Bugs While I don't think these ones specifically will be addressed, these ones still annoy me a lot. The first minor bug that I have came across is that when I select a specific Driving Effects Tag in the game before jumping into any online game mode, they revert back to the default "Witness Me" effect, so I'd have to go back into the garage and equip the effects I wanted when I really shouldn't have to do that. It has been a thing for a while now, and it still hasn't been addressed yet! The second thing I've come across, and I've also made a post about this as well, is that on the Cop Editions of the Porsche 911 GTS and Nissan Skyline, if the Undercover body kit is applied, and then switched back to the standard body kit, the main color of the car will be an unchangeable dark grey color just like the Undercover body kit. On the Skyline specifically, there's also some green saturation on the police livery as well, and you can't revert the color back to the white like how it's supposed to be. Some of the visual stuff in the Lockdown game mode don't exactly work like they're supposed to. The rap meter at the extraction screen doesn't work as intended such as filling up all the way and saying "Complete" even when you don't have enough Rap to get all the Aims, the number of gained Rap under the bar itself not being listed correctly, and at the vehicle selection screen when entering a Lockdown game, the game itself defaults to the Evija, or the best vehicle players currently own. Selecting a vehicle before finding a Lockdown game doesn't seem to matter there. And now we have the Daily and Weekly Challenges not showing like they're supposed to. Kaizen hasn't really updated the game ever since they left for Battlefield, which is why the dailies and weeklies are acting like this. The only times that they do display is when you're already in a game mode and they refresh by midnight. By that point, you're able to do them. But still, I shouldn't have to wait until then during a game to do those! And if I go into a different game mode, they disappear and I can't do them at all until the next time they refresh while I'm already in a game! Oh yeah, and let's not forget the overabundance of AI cops in Hot Pursuit playlists. Need I mention the terrible spawns in those playlists? As well as people getting thrown into a Lockdown game before they have a chance to select their vehicle with crossplay turned on? Specific vehicles in Lockdown not appearing in Lockups like they're supposed to After playing the Lockdown game mode so many times, I decided to ask the community about all the obtainable vehicles in the Lockups specifically. On the NFS Wiki, there's also vehicles that can be obtained in Weekly Rap Rewards. ...Supposedly, that is. Someone in the NFS Discord server responded to my post as well as someone else's post about the Weekly Rap Rewards. And when someone mentioned that a small chunk of cars were supposed to be in Lockups, I got so discouraged after finding out that some of the cars listed in the Weekly Rap Rewards were part of that group. The list of cars that are supposed to appear in Lockups are as follows: -BMW M1 (1981) Legendary Custom -Dodge Charger R/T (1969) Legendary Custom -Ford Crown Victoria (2008) Epic Custom -Ford F150 Raptor (2017) Epic Custom -Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cab Pickup (2015) Legendary Custom -Rudiger's Mercedes-AMG C 63 Cabriolet (2018) -Nissan Silvia K's (1998) Epic Custom, Stage 1 -Nissan Silvia K's (1998) Epic Custom, Stage 4 -Plymouth Barracuda (1970) Epic Custom -Porsche Panamera Turbo (2017) Epic Custom -Bugatti Chiron Sport (2019), Stock -McLaren P1 (2013) Rare Custom (370 Performance Rating) And the Lockdown update said that the vehicle assortment in Lockups would change on a weekly rotation. But, they're nowhere to be found when playing the actual game mode. So this is something that is considered to be bigger. Liveries not saving, being duplicated, and unremovable, also not allowing the color of the car to change This also relates to the Error Code 9 that appears when it says "unable to save" or something. However, this is what I experienced not long before speaking to the agent. So because of a livery I was saving on the Aston Martin Vulcan, the saving was taking too long and I had to restart the game so that I didn't have to wait. When I rebooted the game, the car didn't have the livery equipped. So I went back in and tried to equip it in my Library, only for the livery itself to not only show incorrectly on the car, but also to permanently take up a slot because it was "Already Equipped" (it really wasn't). Then I tried changing the color of the car itself. And while the finish was changeable, the color was not. No matter what I did, the car's color would stay the same. The Hue slider was completely out of order on the Vulcan, and I couldn't make the livery I was going to create for it, leaving me very frustrated and upset. Now the "equipped" liveries are there just to take up space and I can't remove them no matter what I do. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. The lack of an anti-cheat system In all honesty, I really don't expect this to be addressed at all because EA doesn't have the interest of putting an anti-cheat system into their games on the EA App (all they want is money, let's be real), it would still be good to see like how Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 does it with Easy Anti Cheat for example. I even made a video rant about this, so it goes over some good points, and some random stuff that people probably wouldn't care about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7-VnssLbLo Kaizen. I encourage you to address at least the majority of these issues as much as you can. As much as I hate to say it, you guys are clearly not done with Need for Speed Unbound. We want this game to get the fixes we want. Some people may say that these fixes will never come, that I'm being pessimistic towards the team just because they left Unbound for Battlefield, and that they doesn't owe us anything at all. But you know what? Many were expecting Need for Speed Unbound's second year of support to end on a clean slate, only to get a very disappointing last patch to the game. If Kaizen really wanted to make the ultimate Need for Speed experience, they should've put out at least a few more patches to address the issues that are still happening in Unbound before departing! So yes, they DO owe us something! Because if something is not done about these problems ASAP, people will eventually stop caring about Unbound like they are right now! #WeWantNFSPR difference resisting to move forward.
In the Underground Rivals, It is not fair to have a high PR user to race with a lower PR user. For example My Car's PR was 650 while being on Rank C, however when I select to race I get to race with a rank B user with a PR of 700+. To limit this you can sort the opponent user with a ±20 PR. That's still acceptable. While also checking on the rank. As I mentioned I got to race a Rank B user when I was in rank C. At a certain point it is just impossible to go beyond rank B. Another example, if you see my race history all I've been doing is race a 'Nissan GTR BNR32' which has a higher PR than any other eligible cars. Please suggest how do I get past that level when there are no other competitors. Is this a glitch or the technicians have made the game like this. It is really unfair how the things are turning out to be.
