Hey there,
The team has released a hotfix to try to address this issue. Can you confirm if this has been fixed or if this is still happening to you?

Community ManagerHey Everyone,
Thanks for letting us know what you're encountering with NFS Unbound after the latest update.
I wanted to check with anyone in this thread if they are still seeing issues with CPU usage and FPS dropping today?
Cheers!
I just updated today and also EA app mandatory update, then suddenly my GPU usage is stuck on 50% and wattage around 50 and my fps got halved now around 50-60 at most + alot of stuttering!!! pls fix ASAP ty
edit, nfs heat and 2016 still function as they should only nfs unbound got hardware performance capped, idk maybe soft cap is the issue,
so it's 100% updates related as it was fine before updates.
using Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU
Community ManagerHey Everyone,
Thanks for updating the thread and letting us know what you're running into.
For anyone who has not so far would it be possible to get a new DxDiag file?
Zephyrus G16 Laptop
RTX 4070 with 140w unlock usage ingame only 50 watt and can't more
Intel Core 7 ultra 155h
32 GB RAM
game stuck at 30 fps and only overheat CPU to 98 degree
DLSS frame generation up fps to 50-70
GPU usage 50 watts and load 40-60%
all that only after when im update this game on september, still no have solution to fix, all on side of devs game!
Not sure if I've done this correctly or not but here's the requested DxDiag txt file
@EA_Illium Any update ??
Here is the file.
Came here to see if this was fixed, was sad to see it wasn’t
Has an EA intern at least been assigned to run a diff of the 8.01 vs 8.02 updates? If you find what was updated it could narrow down the search and speed up MTTR.
Got the same low GPU load and low frame rates problem after the latest update on steam, it was running fine when vol.8 first came out, please look into it.
So this is the patch with real problems for PC... Can anyone investigate for real?
Here is the link with modified files:
have the same problem after last update,dxdiag in attach
@EA_Illium, @EA_Groguet Any news guys ??
No but EA planning update volume 9 maybe this update fixed the game, this is ridiculis situation, today is 18 september still nothing to fixed, hey EA wake up !!!!!!!
As usual, we tire ourselves for nothing.
I have yet to see any help from the forum administrators. We are trying to find solutions ourselves. We received nonsense answers from the administrators such as send a dxdiag report, turn the PC upside down 🙂.
Why would a person only complain about this game and send a dxdiag report when all other games are running smoothly. If there is a problem with the system, other games will also fail.
Why is the problem sought by the user first? For once, admit that there was a mistake. If so many people complain about the same problem at the same time, the problem is with the developer, not us.
We cannot even get information about whether the problem has been reported or whether an improvement has been made.
Admins ask the question and run away. He doesn't come by again.
update vol 9 planning 23 september
I found a method to return to the previous version of the game on steam. And after that, the game works fine as before, except that it only works in singleplayer. All you need to do is press windows+R and type: steam://open/console after that in steam console type: download_depot 1846380 1846381 6252147457738707060 and press enter (it will download the old game version). Then you can replace the files (the location of the file will appear once the download is complete)

do you need to start Steam in Offline mode or it works online (without multiplayer) ?
I have the game in "Origin" but it has 86% discount in steam until september 26. So I've to decide if I want to trust Criterion in fixing the problem in next update and to hope it comes before 26th......
Volume 9 will be released in octomber or novermber
I don't think we will be happy even if Vol 9 is released, because I don't think anyone sees the problems written here. I'm afraid it will be even worse than it is now.
There are two administrators in this forum, we do not know what they are doing. We don't even know if they reported the issue to the developer. There is not the slightest information or answer on the subject.
For example, how many people sent dxdiag files? What was done with these files?
I haven't seen this many problems even in beta games.
From the very beginning;
There is a vinyl problem, there is a texture problem, there is a police problem while waiting in the garage, there are dark tunnels during the day, there is a problem of rim size changing when the vinyl is changed, there is a car color problem. There are many more and we have written about them from the very beginning, but no solution has been found for any of them. The developer of this game would have solved these problems very easily, but I think the problems were not communicated.
