My Cop car is in slow motion in Hot Pursuit playlists

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Every time I try a HP playlist my cop car is in slow motion.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It seems random, based on people's device. I have seen at least one other person in the semi-official NFS discord report it.
What happens when the bug occurs? As a racer, i could drive like normal. But as a cop, my car is in slow motion. The engine, steering, even gravity are at about half speed. It seems that the slomo triggers around one second after i start, because i get a normal looking kick at the starting line.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to drive my cop car to drive at full capacity.

attaching my dxdiag file to maybe help in diagnostics.

  • There was an update today and it fixed it for me, now it’s just lag spikes, but doesn’t happen too often. I can finally do the challenges.

    Not fixed for me either. It seems like the recent silent update improved things a touch but the slowmo is still noticeably there, and now I sometimes also get it on the racer side. I've also observed that in hot pursuit mode the game's CPU usage is noticeably higher, like 10% or more higher

    The issue is not fixed to me also.

    The cop mode got faster after the update, but its defintely NOT fixed. Using the 911 GTS Cop Car i still got outran by A+ class cars, and sometimes gravity is at like 50% of what the game should be like.

    Also, it seems that i lost framerate, and i had to lower to a custom "High-Ultra" graphics setting (originally full Ultra). From 50 stable fps (peaking at 65 to 70), i went all the way down to 38 stable fps.

    My laptop's specs:

    Lenovo Legion Y740-15ichg w/W10.

    Intel I7-8750h (capped at 2.2 GHz, if i unlock it to 3.9Ghz its gonna burn itself)

    RTX2060 6GB VRAM

    16GB RAM DDR4 @ 2666MHz

    Game's running on a 2TB Kingston SSD

    Edit: Its fixed. For some reason it took a whole day to take effect. But its fixed now!

  • Hi guys, the problem was solved when I turned off all music in the open world and races in the settings. It sounds really weird, but after that I was able to play as a cop with the speed of my teammates (I play on Steam Deck). I hope this helps you too.
