NFS Unbound Crashing at launch
Every time I start the game from steam, it first opens up EA, starts loading the EA game launcher, opens the black box that it would normally open before full screening into the game, but it doesnt f...
what are you guys doing. its been like 6+ months and theres still no solution.
My only solution that's working:
(First, i recommend to have the game installed on your system disc)
Delete everything in shadercache folder in Need for Speed install folder.
Go to your Documents - C:\Users\yourprofile\Documents\Need For Speed(TM) Unbound\cache
and there delete a file, that is file for DX12 (it should be something like "RFH8D3F98J74F_PDX12" or something like that)
Then go to EA client. UNPLUG your internet connection (or disable it if you are running on wi-fi) and start the game right after that. (also i recommend to run EA client as admin).
Game should run. If Not, try it again. If not, Check the Documents again if that DX12 file re-appeared magicaly thanks to EA. If yes: delete it again.
Then again try to run the game by my way. If it's still not working, try to experiment.
(I tried to have installed EA program [It's not app, we are not on mobile, get this into your heads, consolised EA] where i have NFS unbound so, something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop\Need for Speed Unbound"
But other than this, i don't know any other solution.
I hope this will help you, and if yes, let me know AND I'M WAITING FOR EXPLANATION FROM EA, HOW IS THIS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE.
I just bought this game on steam because its on sale, tried the delete cache fix and didnt work, couldnt get it to launch from ea launcher or steam so ima just refund it
Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
Yes. Check my last response in this treat.
