Re: Single Player day not advancing

Hello @K-Dawg41199 Can you provide any videos or screenshots of this as well? I will collect all info and pass it on to the team. thanks

Hello @Stevob 

I am a Xbox player, I have been experiencing the same bug, Apparently, the game is stuck on Wednesday and the races that are appearing are from Monday. Although I can still progress, not all the races are available to play. Additionally, if I leave the game in the middle of the week and return to the main menu, the game resets to Monday. Besides that, in the online mode, the daily and weekly challenges are bugged as well. When I start the game, the challenges appear as usual, but when I find a game, the challenges are not available to be completed.

Edit

I’ve been experiencing this exact thing on PS5 since volume 7. I’m really hoping it can be fixed because half the game and the part I care most about is literally unplayable!

Intro

Hello, I’m on PS5 and have been experiencing this bug where I cannot play the story mode normally anymore since the beginning of Volume 7. (I have beaten the story and do not know if this affects people who haven’t)

It is now Volume 8 and the bug is still present. It seems to be a very rare bug that I’ve seen few people have, however I’m hoping this bug will be patched soon as half the game has become borderline unplayable!!

What Happens in This Bug

Loading into the garage in either Story or Online is longer than usual. (more specifically the black screen that appears before showing the garage menu)

When looking at the map, the available meetups are fewer (2-3) than normal depending on the day (like 4-7 I believe) with these few meetups only having 1 race each.

Delivery missions show $0 as the reward and upon completion the reward screen shows $0 for all the time completion ranks and $0 as the reward given. (It does give you the normal reward regardless)

Heat Delivery missions also show $0 as the reward and during the event the damage meter is no longer visible.

The heat gained from doing races is no longer given accurately and can prevent you from doing the few events already given as some require a specific heat level.

The day of the week menu is stuck on Thursday (it varies depending on the day you left off on before the bug) and it stays as daytime even when it shows the animation of it switching to night when entering the garage. It also shows the usual nighttime events on the map, but during gameplay it is daytime.

When continuing to play what you can, going through what should be different days, the game will eventually crash. When going back into story, you will be set back to the same events that were there when first playing before the crash. (This also happens when switching between modes)

Left on the pad action (top right corner) when in free roam will sometimes not show up and will be unable to quick select safe house or meetup.

Conclusion

This bug has really ruined half of this game and has made earning money very difficult. It has kept me from playing specific tiers of races and the overall playability of this game. I really really REALLY HOPE this gets patched soon, because I miss enjoying the story mode as it’s the core experience of a NFS game.

@DanTheDemon @Mr_Spoogyboo Thanks for the info, I will get this looked at by the team.

Hey @Mr_Spoogyboo 

To check a few things

• Do you remember getting an error about your save during your last session (before the issues started)?
• How many Wraps and how many cars do you have (across SP and MP)?
• Do you only have the issue from your screenshots in story mode or also in online?

Hello @EA_Illium I have the same problem as @Mr_Spoogyboo 

-Do you remember getting an error about your save during your last session?

In my case, no, I received this error, "unable to save," one year ago in story mode, but it was resolved by deleting wraps.

-How many wraps and how many cars do you have?

Story: 65 cars (The Nissan Gtr R35 and the Lotus Evija are repeated)

Online: 64 cars

Wraps: 41 wraps (in both modes) some of the wraps are not in use.

-Do you only have the issue from your screenshots in story mode or also in online mode?

In online, I only have a problem with the daily and weekly challenges. One month ago, I was playing PvP playlists, and it was running properly (I kept playing until 3 AM). The next time I played online, I encountered this problem: when I enter multiplayer mode, the challenges appear, but when I find a game, they disappear. In Story, I have the problem that the game is stuck on Wednesday night.

Since the update volume 8, the day night mode no longer changes in the completed story mode on the PS5.

All available daily events have been completed, back in the garage the change to night is displayed, but it always stays on the same day. In my case, Friday, no matter how often I return to the garage, the weekday change is not carried out. What is the problem?

Hello @Stevob
I am also playing NFS UNBOUND on PS5 like the topic owner here. I have been suffering from this bug since update Vol. 7 and it has not been fixed even after the update to Vol. 8.

Please check the URL below of the topic where I have listed the bug in the same topic as this one and report it to the countermeasure team.

Hey there,

The team is investigating this issue, but they are going to require more information. Can you please answer the questions below?

• At which week of progress did you encounter this issue?
• The game permits you to replay the last week of the Single Player campaign as many times as you want, were you playing in one of the final weeks?
• Did you modded your game by any chance?

I have completed the Single Player Campaign so it is now the looping week. My game is not modded and this issue occurred shortly after the release of Volume 8.

Hello @EA_Groguet

I encountered this issue in volume 7, at the looping week after completing the story mode. I can replay the week, but not all the races are available to play except on Wednesday night. I did not mod the game

Hi everyone,

the problem occurs to me on Friday in the game, but does not change to night, but I have already completed the story.

I played the single player campaign before volume 8 about 3 weeks ago, with no problems.

Nothing has been modified, as I play on the PS5.

I have completed the entire campaign in story mode (single player) and it is now loop week, it is now Thursday of the loop week but after that it is still daytime and it is still daytime at night after completing the daytime race.
The platform is PlayStation5 and we have not modded it in any way.

This occurred in vol.7 and has continued since then, even after the current vol.8 update.

I have the same issue. I am stuck on Sunday. There a very few events. I have completed the main story along time ago. I am level 109 almost 110. I noticed after the series 8 update after police chases it would freeze for a second. Didn’t think much of it and moved on. The further I got into series 8 the worst things became. It started not banking my money but then would randomly correct itself. Now not only am I stuck on Sunday day but I can’t buy cars or any upgrades or any type. No visual mods no performance parts nothing. I also can’t buy or sell cars. Only the same races are available and it’s locked to certain classes. Also as soon as I leave the garage I automatically have 1 heat level. Please fix this so I can continue to play. 

I don’t think I got an error before it happened. I just played one day and it wasn’t working the same anymore.

I have a total of 80 wraps and 74 cars across SP and MP.

This only happens in single player.

It seems that the problem is in the save itself, which was created several updates ago. There is no such problem in the new save.

Hi,

Is there an update on this? I think there should be a way to reset the single player progress, without affecting the online part, at the very least.

For me, the issue occurred following the Volume 9 update. I'm now stuck on Sunday daytime. I play mostly multiplayer these days, but it would be great if there was a fix for this.
