NFS Unbound crashes within few minutes

I've been suffering major crashes ever since the latest update of vol.8

The game crashes within few minutes EVERY TIME and I always get this:

DirectX function "m_swapChain->ResizeBuffers( m_bufferCount,

m_info.windowWidth, m_info.windowHeight,

m_outputMode.Format, swapChainDesc.Flags)" failed with

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED ("The video card has been

physically removed from the system, or a driver upgrade for the

video card has occurred. "). GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

Laptop GPU", Driver: 56081. This error is usually caused by the

graphics driver crashing; try installing the latest

drivers.DeviceRemovedReason: DXGI_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

("You tried to use a resource to which you did not have the

required access privileges.").

GPUBreadcrumbs:

PS: Upgrading the Driver to 561.09 DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AT ALL.

Is there anyone having similar problem like this?

    Hi Community Manager,

    The same root cause is producing different problems.

    Since last update some wrong code into the game is saturating cpu cycles. This produces different results: terrible performance (like 1/3 of what used to be before the patch), overheating CPU and random errors because of that overheating. One of those related errors is a GPU driver hang that produces a Device lost (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED).

    Developer really need to acknowledge and prioritize this issue as the game is basically unplayable even for those with a computer that is stable against overheating.

    Hey Everyone, 

    The team has released an update meant to address issues with High CPU Usage. 

    I wanted to check if anyone has noticed issues with Unbound crashing resolved or improving after grabbing the latest update?
