Re: NFS Unbound randomly ignores and freezes all controller AND keyboard inputs.

@Dionic20 Hmm, also seems to be a fluke for me. And I even tested it twice and didn't get any BS for several races straight. So now we play the waiting game, I guess.

  • After the update, it first worked for 15 minutes and I really thought I could finally play it online.... but NO, this issue is still present. Did it the last 2 races, so gonna need to wait for an other patch...

    @MyraGe-Qc This update made it somehow even worse for me. It happened 2 minutes after I loaded into the game while still in free roam. I didn't even reach a race yet, and then later while in a race it happened twice. After that, I just pressed Alt + F4. This is really frustrating.
  • Just tested out the game since the new update and for me its working fine now.  Controller is not ignoring inputs so i can finally play.  But for all the players that are still having issues maybe you could try this fix that i found when looking for some answers for why Elden Ring was always stuttering all the time and this was to Disable Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator now i know this sounds mad but i looked it up and that can cause issues with gameplay on many games and since i disabled it NFS and other games that had any kinda issues were all solved.  How to fix is below

    On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time to invoke the Run command. Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.

    Double-click Software devices to open the category.

    Right-click Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator and click Disable device.

    and thats it.  Give it a try and message back the results see if it works.

  • I just tested the game on the newest update and unfortunately the bug persists The frequency feels slightly lower but it still occurs at extremely frustrating moments. I also updated my controller firmware earlier last week, which had no effect either. Tomorrow I will test out the walkaround posted by Ghastous, I hope it works.

  • @Dionic20 Yeah, same. I mean this also happen when I'm in the garage tuning my cars or on home menu. Few others said it freeze 2 seconds, but in my case, it can be 10 to 15 seconds too. Online playlists have 3 races, so impossible to have a working controller for 3 on 3, when offline I finish one only 50% of the time with probably a restart as soon it happen...
  • @Ghastous Tried the game again after the recent update and was disappointed to see the bug persists. HOWEVER, I disabled the Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator as you suggested, and it seems to be working normally, at least for now. Finally got a 1st place and made some money!

    Truly bizarre glitch and fix, but thanks heaps, mate. hopefully I can now enjoy the game again.

  • @Ghastous Sorry, looks like I spoke too soon.

    I got maybe an hour of playtime until I noticed the bug again, with the same results. How annoying.

  • I have now tried the walkaround by @Ghastous and unfortunately, i can confirm that it did not fix the issue. It did feel less frequent but it did still happen and has made me drive straight into a truck.

    really annoying
