When will vehicle vinyls be fixed?

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Vehicle skins have been a disgrace since the very beginning of the game. Especially black coatings do not turn black unless we change the color of the car to black. For example, if we add black vinyl to a red-painted car, its color turns dark red. It becomes translucent. Also, the textures of all the vinyls are disgracefully bad. Even in 4k ultra quality, spots appear all over the coatings as shown in the picture. When we enter the car editing screen, it fixes itself, but when we select another car, it breaks again.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just try.
What happens when the bug occurs? In a game with such good graphics, even the skins in NFS U are clearer and trouble-free.
What do you expect to see? As in the old games, for example Nfs Payback or Heat, we want to see the skins sharp and especially the black colors improved. It's been 2 years and nothing has changed. And we have reported this issue many times. You can contact the developer and have it fixed at least in Vol 9.

The first image is corrupt, the second image is from the car editing screen. However, if we leave this screen and choose another car, both the new one and the one we replaced are broken again. 

However, there is another problem: the unique skins added by the developer never break. And the visuals are very clear.


You can easily see the RGB dots on black.

    I play on low settings so I can't really comment on the texture quality being low unfortunately, for me the issue is the stickers and wraps turning black on the right side of cars, been reported so many times and it always gets ignored. I've made a post about it here before as well. We're headed towards the final update and this is still a huge issue

    Ultra or low doesn't matter, how come you don't see or notice the white dots around the DHL text? I can see it just by looking at the pictures you posted.

    As for your problem, if you are playing on PC, delete the files under Documents\Need For Speed(TM) Unbound\SaveGame\wraps and it will be solved. It will be loaded again from the cloud.

    Doesn't fix a damned thing. It always comes back whenever you re-apply more than one car with your wraps. It's a game breaking bug.

  • Unbound on PC has been persistent since the game's launch, particularly affecting how black coatings appear on cars. When applying a black vinyl over a non-black base color, such as red, the result is a translucent, darkened version of the original color instead of true black—giving the vinyl a tinted, inconsistent look.
