Game crash when changing Anti Aliasing

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Changing AA in NFS unbound causes the game to crash
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Change anti aliasing in custom graphics options
What happens when the bug occurs? The game crashes
What do you expect to see? A patch to fix this

  •  Anti Aliasing is something that makes games look super blurry so I always like to turn it off. However, in NFS unbound changing this setting at all (and only this setting) will cause the game to crash immediately. Ive even tried editing the config file to have it already turned off before launch and the game just wouldnt launch at all with that. My system can run the game just fine as I do meet requirements (Ryzen 5800x, 32GB Ram 3200mhz, 4080, and installed on a SSD)

    Sometimes whining and hoping works. Patch just came out, I'm able to switch to FXAA and OFF now without any crashing.

    @Solfermoney give it a try, hopefully it's fixed for you too.

  • @0CRKrJAK I've tried this before as stated in the original post and am getting the same result as @joshuacant ... The game refuses to launch when this setting is changed

    @joshuacantthis is quite odd as MEMORY_CORRUPTION_LARGE_256_c0000005_memory_corruption typically points to unstable RAM. I don't think this would fix it, but just to rule it out, try running your RAM/FCLK at a slower speed....and/or loosen timings.

    Also, have you tried older versions of GPU drivers?

  • @0CRKrJAK there shouldnt be any reason to have to go into the BIOS and change settings to change AA on a game.... I think this might also mean when AA is changed there is a memory leak possibly? Regardless if its something that can only be fixed at a bios level, maybe a patch is warranted

  • My RAM is fine. As I have mentioned a few times, the game runs incredibly well otherwise. I played for 4 hours yesterday, not a single issue.

    GPU drivers could have an impact, but I'm only interested in playing the game, not the DDU/driver install shuffle for a couple hours to try checking for regressions.

    My hope is that this report will get passed up a chain somewhere and a dev will go "ah ha, I know what's causing that" and fix it in a future release. For now I will live with TAA blur and ghosting because whining here is the limit of effort I'm willing to put in.

    Agreed...there shouldn't be any reason for this thread to exist in the first place, but unfortunately here we are.

    There was another user on the Steam forums that reported a memory leak. So it's possible, however, I haven't experienced it even after gaming sessions that lasted multiple hours.
