Smoke Bug/Glitch After a time in the game

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Visual Bug on back wheels smoke
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? In my situation after playing for 30 minutes i suppose, the smoke started showing lines(poligons) instead of the designed effect constantly, just restarting the game helped with this issue.
What happens when the bug occurs? All smokes, drifting, nitro activation start showing the lines of the smoke (i suppose the poligons)
What do you expect to see? It should be just the regular smoke effect of the game.

‌

The system i'm running the game is 

Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 2070 

RAM 32 GB 3000 Mhz

Gigabyte Motherboard

Game is installed on an SSD M.2 

Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621. 64bit

    Hello  @EA_Atic, 

    In the meanwhile i changed my CPU and motherboard, played for a few with no glitch whatsoever.

    Windows reinstalled, all drives formatted and all drivers reinstalled or installed. 

    New CPU:  Ryzen 5 5600x 

    Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus


    Tried turning it on right now and i receive this (see attached screenshot.



    As well all drivers are most recent. 

    35 minutes later edit: 

    I managed to open the game by deleting the folder with the saved files. 
    But somehow i lost 3 weeks from my gameplay. 
    Not such a big issue, just wanted to let you know.

    @EA_Atic Hello,
    Unfortunately no, and since yesterday i didnt play more than an hour, and it didnt happened again. I can search an example of this on google, and tell you how it was in-game, if that would help.

    Thank you

    Hello @EA_Atic,

    Sorry for coming so delayed in this forum again.
    I have finished the game, i did not encounter the first said glitch again.
    (I didnt rollback anything, if that matters. )
    Another visual - video bug that i have encountered are dead pixels on the minimap and / or around the map.
    From time to time when finishing a race, pink/gree/red/blue pixels appeared over events / cars / police icons in minimap.
    And Black pixels around the minimap on a high density.
    I do not have any screenshot, but maybe just the information will help.

    And another information -
    The computer specs have been changed
    Now i have
    Mobo - TUF GAMING B550-PLUS
    CPU - Ryzen 5- 5600x ( everything else its the same.)

    Thank you for your help.
    You can close this topic if no additional information is required from me.

    Happy holidays !

    Hello, I do have videos captured by my phone please can you email me? Should I send my email on here or what to do? (I don’t want to get random emails or spams).

    As I am new here and I just want this issue to be fixed I am getting annoyed and frustrated every end of day and night I barely can finish the race with all the effects blocking the view and dropping the frame (Unplayable) I somehow made it for 4 full days every day and night I get to close the game and open it.

    The GPU is updated and windows is Updated.

    specs:.

    Windows 11.

    CPU 12700K.

    Motherboard Asus Z690.

    DDR4 3600Mghz 46Gb (8x16x16x16).

    Now I am on Tuesday or Wednesday (I no longer recall!!) in the game at night and I just got a B class Car and I can’t finish the rest of races as I can’t see anything, but this time it’s not about the drifting effects, it is about nothing I just see stuff around me.

    I uploaded 3 screenshots of the videos I have. I have more and more!!! I got another glitch while playing with a friend PvP and I told him to start a race as I finished a race and got stuck on the air, can’t drive, can’t turn. I’m stuffed with bugs!! I can get a job finding bugs lol.. not really but this annoying me and I feel I want my game to be refunded.
