No players in the list when loading the race

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug When entering the race, a list of players and their cars is displayed. It often happens that either you or another player, or the players, disappear from the list, or the list is completely missing. It doesn't matter in which playlist and race, whether it's the new HOT PURSUIT mode, or the old racing playlists. This error has been around for quite some time, and I am saddened by the fact that the developers have not yet taken steps to fix it.

  • Hi @chromiuuum looking at the screenshots attached, the background looks like a modded version of Unbound, can you confirm if you're using third party mods or not please?

    Hey @chromiuuum 

    If you are currently using mods or have used mods with your save in the past they have the potential to cause unexpected issues that we can't guarantee will be fixed with updates or patches. 

    If you are playing with mods and run into an issue, the best thing is to back up your save (in case you want to return to it) and clean install the game. 

    You can use the following steps to do so:

    1. Back up you save to your documents folder (or anywhere else you would like)
    2. Uninstall NFS Unbound with something like Revo Uninstall
    3. Ensure all files are deleted, and removed from your PC's trash bin
    4. Check you have the latest Windows and Graphics card updates
    5. Restart your machine, relaunch the EA app, and reinstall NFS Unbound. 
    6. Start a new game and test if any issue you were encountering continues. 

    I've noticed you've shared a few bug reports in the past for Unbound, to check did you encounter those on a modded game save? 

    Thanks!

  • @EA_Illium Thanks for the tips, but this problem occurs without mods, including for people who play on a clean version of the game. It has nothing to do with it

    Most likely, the game developers did something wrong, and now the PVP menu takes longer to load than it used to. Tell them it's better to fix it.

    Hi @chromiuuum, To confirm is your current save using mods, or have you used modes with it in the past?
