Adding Bodykit To Starter Car Drops It To Class B - Cannot Continue Story

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Selecting a bodykit on the starter car ( Which is part of the "Prolog" ) turns the car into a class B making the story unplayable.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get to the point where you can put a body kit on the vehicle and watch it turn to a class B.
What happens when the bug occurs? The car goes from class A+ to B.
What do you expect to see? A patch to make the starter car stay class A+ so that I can continue my playthrough. This and the XBox wireless issue has made my 4 hours of game time, really like 20 minutes due to workarounds, ect. For a AAA game that most certainly went through multiple rounds of Q.A. on multiple platforms....

Edit: Found a fix. Go to the bodykit selection area, select the baseline non-upgraded body kit. There should be a revert parts button. On an XBox controller it was Y. Accept, and Class A+ again.

Seriously though, this is a pretty simple error that should have been prevented by hard-code.

This is Not Solved! Please do not mark it as such until there is a patch addressing this very simple error.

  • I have now gotten the problem twice, I did my first playthrough, or I should say attempt of a playthrough, with the Nissan, bought a bodykit, one of the less expensive ones before I got the prompt to buy the legendary so I thought I had broken the game with that. I went and deleted my save, since you apparently can't start a new career at that point, started with the Dodge this time and waited for the point in the story when they make you buy the legendary custom bodykit, I did and it dropped the car to Class B again. Now the car drives as an A+, but it is showing the super generic stats of an untuned B car with a top speed of lol 100 km/h. Would appreciate a fix! Also weirdly enough there isn't much information on the web about this, other than this post and one reddit post, where people don't even understand the query.

    @ReDevils07Ok, I have an update, I don't know which step fixed it, but here is how it went: I modified the legendary bodykit, drove around, alt+f4ed out of the game, reopened it, drove back to Rydell's, went into bodykits and reequiped the non custom version of the legendary kit and it reset the car to A+. Before that straight up swaps of kits didn't change anything, so again I have no idea if it was the exact steps I did that fixed it, or just one of them. Hope it might help anyone else that was frustrated with this bug!

    Edit: Problem persists past the prologue and can't upgrade cars to match game requirements, lmfao, sorry EA but I am not going to continue troubleshooting your game, please do that yourself 🙂
