NFS Unbound performance decline after updating to VOL 7

After downloading the VOL 7 update for NFS Unbound, I noticed a significant performance drop in the game. It is disappointing to experience a performance decline with each new release. Up to VOL 5, the game ran smoothly, but starting with VOL 6, performance issues began to appear. Now, with VOL 7, the game has become completely unplayable. I am barely getting 60 FPS. If there was a hardware issue with my machine, I wouldn't be able to play other games without problems. This issue seems to be specific to UNBOUND. I have a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop with a RTX 3070 and i7-12700H, capable of 140W max power. Previously, the game ran at 120 FPS on high settings at 1440p resolution. Now, I can't even achieve 60 FPS. @EA Please fix this issue.

    For the whole time I've been playing Unbound(~200 hours), I had issue with 100% CPU load. And in recent time, the situation, in some way unknown to me, got worse. The game runs at 30 FPS on LOWEST graphics, CPU gets to 100% and GPU only 20-30%. NFS Heat "fix" doesn't work at all.

    The NFS team has released patch 7.1.0 today, I wanted to confirm if there was any change to this issue for anyone in the thread.

    Thanks!
