Re: High CPU Usage/Game not saving on PC (NFS Unbound)

Hello,

I did two things to fix this, but I'm pretty sure it was the second one that did the trick for me.

First one: Go to your System Drive, right-click -> Properties -> Security. Make sure the Windows User Profile you're using has 'Full Control' enabled. Otherwise you can enable it under Advanced Tab bottom right.

Second one: Type 'Controlled folder access' into Windows Search Bar and disable it. I got a lot of Notifications in the bottom right corner of Windows saying NFS was not able to properly access the Documents folder. But I only saw it after I lost my save file like 5 times and was wondering what was going on.

Hope this might help, let me know & good luck.

    Oh, I forgot to add. There might be a Fix for the High CPU Usage, it brought it down for me a bit at least.

    Just search for "NFS Heat CPU Load FIX" +github (there also are some Redd1t threads about it)
    This works for Unbound as well it seems. 

  • Yep that CPU usage thing is helping alot, Went from 80% usage to %53
