NFS Unbound Freezing And Crashing

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug The game keeps freezing and crashing, sometimes a couple of minutes after gaining control of the car in the game, sometimes a couple of seconds. I've only played story mode so i don't know if it happens in multiplayer as well, but i guess it would.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? for me it happens all the time by just trying to play the game
What happens when the bug occurs? the game freezes and crashes
What do you expect to see? a playable game

So i just bought this game on steam and i haven't been able to get further in the game than the first safehouse mission on account of the game literally crashing 47 seconds after i got control of the car (Yes i timed it because it's driving me insane).
 
I have tried all the fixes online, ie deleting the dx12 files in the cache folders, verifying game files, turning down graphics settings, compatibility settings in windows, whatever. The game still keeps crashing and i have no clue why, i don't get an error or anything, the game just freezes and then closes, it also doesn't have a clear pattern, since it always crashes on a different point, sometimes i barely drive 10 feet and its gone, sometimes i get halfway through a race and it crashes.
 
I have an RTX 4080 and an i9 14900K so it's definitely not a hardware compatibility issue.
 
Please if anyone knows anything, let me know. I just want to play this game, but have been trying to fix it for 2 hours to no avail.

  • @SamJahDizzle420 I experience the same issue as u. I have rtx 4080 and an i9 13900k. I changed every Windows and BIOS setting possible, but still nothing. It’s actually disappointing. Even GTA5 runs better, literally 10 year old game has better performance than a game released in 2022
  • I’ve had a little luck with locking the game to 60fps via nvidia control panel. Seems to crash every hour or so now. Still not great by a long shot, but a bit better.

  • Yeah, I’m definitely still experiencing crashes. Like i said, capping the framrate at 60 has helped a bit, but it still crashes after about an hour of gameplay.

  • I followed all the instructions, verified the files checked for updates, re installed / Repaired Redistributables, reinstalled the EA Orign App and Did a Clean Boot, Nothing Seems to be Working NFS Unbound still crashes after about 7 mins, I am experiencing a huge drop in fps from 60-80 to 7 this is also followed by a whole system shutdown with a forced exit being the only way out and i still have to restart my PC after this for it to work properly. EA please Help!! 

  • I'm having the same issue after a few minutes of playing my game just crashes sometimes it's just the game sometimes my whole PC has to restart. I have an I14900k and a 4070. My computer only crashes on this game no others even after hours of gaming. I've tried everything from repair and cache clearing to reinstalling the game.
