Re: Unable to play NFS: unbound on my computer or gaming laptop.

@EA_Atic

Would that be for my gaming laptop or for my custom PC? Anyway, I guess I have to send you both I have labeled them distinctively so you guys could tell which is which so don't worry about that.

Update: Nvidia just released an update(s) for their GPUs today so some of the problems that were GPU-related should be solved now.

    Well, thanks that Solves one problem but that still leaves one problem unchecked I still can't play the game on my custom-built PC. The game still shuts down there and I think I know why I already have the CPU that I have is a skylake CPU a 6600K @3.5 GHz GPU is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB and I still can't play, LP-Ripper24 Says that you 6 core CPU to run the game. I asked for help from the Reddit page PCMR one of their members told me that the minimal Intel core processor is an i5 8700 so in a way the game is heavily on CPU instead of GPU. He even was able to play the game on his AMD ryzen 3 4100 which is a four-core processor so in a way you can still play the game without getting a six-core processor. So, do I have to upgrade my CPU to a seven-generation i5 core processor so I can at least boot the game, or do I need to change everything (including but not limited the motherboard, CPU, etc.)?

    It should still start, Frostbite games in general are more depended on CPU powers instead of GPU. @Drod4000,

    Long shot would be try a new windows account with admin powers. Make sure nothing gone wrong with the kernel on the current account.

    You forgot to put @EA_Ati  if your talking to him.

  • @EA_Atic I know one thing the kernel is working fine and as you just said frostbite games take a lot more CPU power, more CPU power means more cores which is why LP-Ripper24 said that the recommended requirement for CPU is that you needed at least six cores to run it. Anyway, here's a look at it what the screen looks like I call it the need for speed: unbound black screen of death.
