Graphical bug on american flags

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Graphic bug on american flags
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Latest NVIDIA drivers, Single player, look at an american flag. It happens mostly after playing longer sessions.
What happens when the bug occurs? The american flags fill the screen with beams of red, blue and white
What do you expect to see? No graphical glitch

‌

When I'm in the open world OR a race (in Single player) 

The view is getting obstructed by multiple rays of red white and blue.

I noticed these originate from american flags in the world.

I update my drivers to the latest version after having this issue, but it returned a few hours later.

This bug can break the game for me, once it starts happening you can't go anywhere with american flags. During a race most of the game will flash with these colors and eventually it will make you crash into traffic or missing turn.

    @LustraGaming Hey, at a glance that looks like a driver issue to me. Can you check for any updates and update your graphics card drivers, then check again if it persists?

    Thanks.

    @EA_David Hey David,

    as mentioned in the post I already tried this and I'm now on 527.56 from Nvidia.
    I update the drivers when installing the game before too. But updated again once the issues started.

    I only have this issue only with the flags in the game so I think this might be an issue with the game rather than the drivers.

    Thanks. It's something that's often worth double checking if a specific driver version isn't called out, but now you have, 527.56 is indeed the newest version. It's probably not a factor, but can I check which card you're using?

    I'd still lean towards this being something local as there aren't widespread reports. The next step I'd go for would be a clean reinstall of drivers, in case one isn't working right but isn't being flagged as corrupt.
