HUGE FPS DROP VOL 7

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug System up to 2k 180 fps at ultra settings up to vol 5, dropped to 140 from vol 6 and 100 from vol 7. It is impossible to understand how you do this with each update. I wouldn't be surprised if we get 30 fps after 2 updates.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Trying
What happens when the bug occurs? The game is still loading the CPU. There is an optimization problem.
What do you expect to see? Seeing old fps values ​​like in vol 2 3 4 5.

With each update, there is a 40 fps decrease in the game. The game, in which I had 170-180 fps until vol 5, dropped to 130-140 in vol 6, and dropped to between 80-100 in vol 7.

    Hey Everyone, 

    Updating this thread, the team has released Vol 8 with various fixes. You can read the patch notes here

    I wanted to check if anyone has noticed any issues with NFS unbound after grabbing the latest update.

    Cheers!

  • Hey there,

    I'm havin same problem with the latest update and I just figure it out that shadow quality option causes major performance drops. My settings are ultra, no upscaler, no frame gen, getting 110 fps with shadows set to low. When I set any higher value fps drops to 60 and game starts stutturing
