Re: New silent update high cpu usage and fps drop.

It's clearly a mistake. For some people it dropped to 50-60 fps, for some it dropped to 20-30 fps. With each update, the game gets worse rather than better.

Pc1 spec: 13600k 16g 3200 ram 4060ti Nvme 3300 / 3200 - Drop at 156 to 95 with 1080p, some cpu cores up to 90-99% Native res. Gpu usage 45%

Pc2 Spec: 5700x3D 32g 3600 ram 6900xt Nvme 3500 / 3300 - Drop at 152 to 130 with 3440x1440 uw, some cpu cores up to 80-90%. Native res.Gpu usage 57%

No differnce using dlss or fsr. Because it becomes a bottleneck due to CPU overload.

In this case, it triggers overheating. Due to heating, the CPU has to reduce its speed.

The strange thing is that there is no information about the latest update.

I have the same problem: heavy fps drop in menu and races/free roam. I have 13900k, rtx4090, 32 gb DDR5. And when I log in to online, I get another error, shown in picture.

In customize menu I have around 150 fps, but in any other menus I have around 50 fps

Hey Everyone, 

Thanks for letting us know what you're encountering with NFS Unbound after the latest update. 

I wanted to check with anyone in this thread if they are still seeing issues with CPU usage and FPS dropping today?

• If so, would it be possible to get a new DxDiag?

Cheers!

I still have problems with fps drop - around 35-40 fps in online/singleplayer menu (where I see the character) and 75-90 fps in freeroam/races. In customize menu i get 120-140 fps...

Yep, still experiencing this issue, not even in the menu's will my GPU hit max usage and reach the 144 FPS threshold since this update came out a few days ago now or so. During freeroam the performance is also quite abysmal... I've recently just got back into the game and even bought the speed pass to complete it since the game has been extremely fun, but after this horrid performance hit that t his update brought around, it just doesn't feel good to be playing the game right now, horrible performance and an excess amount of CPU usage too? I really hope you guys get around and find out what's gone wrong and get right the wrong so we can have our performance back and get back to racing.

You can double your fps by using the frame generation feature from Lossless Scaling app (it's on steam), until a real game fix will come out.

I just updated today and also EA app mandatory update, then suddenly my GPU usage is stuck on 50% and wattage around 50 and my fps got halved now around 50-60 at most + alot of stuttering!!! pls fix ASAP ty

edit, nfs heat and 2016 still function as they should only nfs unbound got hardware performance capped, idk maybe soft cap is the issue,

so it's 100% updates related as it was fine before updates.

using Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU

Hey Everyone, 

Thanks for updating the thread and letting us know what you're running into. 

For anyone who has not so far would it be possible to get a new DxDiag file?

Zephyrus G16 Laptop

RTX 4070 with 140w unlock usage ingame only 50 watt and can't more

Intel Core 7 ultra 155h

32 GB RAM

game stuck at 30 fps and only overheat CPU to 98 degree

DLSS frame generation up fps to 50-70

GPU usage 50 watts and load 40-60%

all that only after when im update this game on september, still no have solution to fix, all on side of devs game!

Not sure if I've done this correctly or not but here's the requested DxDiag txt file

@EA_Illium Any update ??

Here is the file.

Came here to see if this was fixed, was sad to see it wasn’t

Has an EA intern at least been assigned to run a diff of the 8.01 vs 8.02 updates? If you find what was updated it could narrow down the search and speed up MTTR. 

Got the same low GPU load and low frame rates problem after the latest update on steam, it was running fine when vol.8 first came out, please look into it.

So this is the patch with real problems for PC... Can anyone investigate for real?

Here is the link with modified files:

have the same problem after last update,dxdiag in attach

@EA_Illium, @EA_Groguet Any news guys ??
