Golf GTI (clubsport) no driving effect smoke

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug Smoke driving effects don't come out of Golf GTI Clubsport when in race/free roam. I can see the driving effect when I'm in the garage but once I go out to drive or race the smoke effect seems to come out of the front wheels and appear to only a portion of it. I've tried different effects aswell selling and buying a new Golf but it makes no difference. It probably wouldn't bother me if didn't like those effects, but I love them and i always try to match them to wrap.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Simply take the Golf GTI clubman to free roam or a race and you'll see no driving effect coming out of rear wheels.
What happens when the bug occurs? No driving effect when out of garage, just a portion of the effect coming out of front wheels
What do you expect to see? Driving effect to come out of the rear wheels just like in the preview in the garage

I've attached screenshots of both in garage driving effect and in free roam. Hopefully this clearly illustrates what I mean

  • Hi @WrongEnemy7 

    Does chaning out effect help?

    Can we try the following steps if this keeps up?

    • Clear the systems cache (Close the game completely > Turn off the console > Wait 30-60 seconds > Restart and Relaunch)
    • Verify you signed into your PSN account
    • Check for updates 
    • Restore Licence
    • Entering Safe Mode and Rebuild your PS database

  • Hi there sorry for the late response.

    So asking me if changing effects does anything implies my description of the issue wasn't read?

    I have applied over 10 different effects. I've had this issue since vol.3 iirc, I even remember re-downloading the game at one point. I sold the car and bought a new one twice, and even modified it again without applying my custom wrap just in case.

    I have now done safe mode restore license and clear system cache as suggested.

    But I'm still suffering from this issue, I'm guessing I'm either the only one who has it or the only one who cares? I've been searching for this issue for months now and still don't see anyone having it.

    I just don't understand why in the garage the effects works fine but once I'm out driving it doesn't? Game bugs eh.

    I'm slowly accepting that this will probably never be fixed as it is not a priority at the end of the day, i understand there are more important issues. So I'm not bitter just a little annoyed/disappointed. I honestly am out of solutions at this point. But anyways thank you for the response!
