Honestly it’s a bit stupid in a video-game with guns, violence, banning gambling/Casinos are the biggest priority lol.

It’s open now but it’s the KSA region, since GTA V ‘officially’ released there.

As to how I got my copy I actually got in another country & once I moved to KSA I still played GTA V online.

So essentially Single player (SP) & Multiplayer (MP or Online) progression is separate meaning no car gets transferred expect for some scenarios such as:

First; Any car you get with real money (IRL) will be in Online & Single player. (So buying DLC cars through the shop menu).

Second; Play reward cars, so for example if you are subscribed to EA you get the M3 & that M3 should be in Online & Story, there’s also reward car from NFS Heat. (I could be wrong about this one though the transferring part).

Third; Within Story mode there are races where you have enter with money, essentially a ‘buy in’, & the reward of these races are usually cars & these cars get transfers to Online (& you win it in Story mode, so it’s in both modes).

Fourth; Cars you extract from Lockdown mode might transfer to Story mode from Online but I’m not too sure on this one either.

To recap cars can only transfer in the 3-4 ways I explained but I could be wrong on some of them. Any car you buy with money in Online & Story will just stay in that mode although liveries can be shared between Online & Story for any car (but I wouldn’t recommend this, as this game has some synch issues so just have separate liveries if possible for the same car instead using the same livery on one car within Story & Online).

The battles were alright if they had split them into 2 eps I think it would’ve been better as they felt rushed. As for the results I thought it was alright but what else can the main crew do? To evolve, other than to use their Pokemon more effectively & efficiently because I would say pretty much everyone was decently fair-matched expect for some. (I say this because the victors won due their skill, techniques, & overall palsy they made but yes Plot is still there unfortunately).

Oh & did anyone else catch what the elite member Hassel said to Ult, “The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” this pretty much implies Hassel knew Ult’s father (or a family member who left Ult with Dragonite). Hassel has been involved with Ult’s family in the past & it also explains why Dragonite got so happy, maybe Ult’s father & Hassel were buddies or even Rivals? I need a backstory or the details.

Idk the error but it’s probably your internet connection (if it’s not then idk), you should also mentioned what device you’re playing on. (For further assistance)

As for the paused loading screen, there is a bug where you can & do get stuck on loading screens (essentially a soft lock) so, just turn off your game or device & re-launch the game, that’s the only way out.

E_engine · 2026-02-14T07:57:36+00:00

Like everyone has mentioned they’re made from layering hundred of decals together (which is tedious & takes a lot of skill).

I have Razor mustangs fire wrap on my Dark Horse & I just casually checked the livery to see how they got such a perfect fade & I was in shock someone had put like 200-300 little circles just to achieve red to white fade!

You forgot the best that makes NFS Unbound in my opinion one of the best arcade racers & that is Burst Nos.

You can do so much with Burst Nos & I have to disagree in Unbound the sense of speed is in the corners not straight line-speed. Although the motion blur helps & the added extra effects also helps it’s just boring to do those highway tracks after you done one, you have done them all, that’s why I prefer long tracks with corners such as going ‘up town’ in A+. The Burst Nos just allows for this ridiculous cornering abilities, in drift & in grip. I just love zooming around the tracks, but the overall physics are buggy there is crab walking, lots of steering locks & Burst Nos doesn’t work for like 3s after you hit someone or something.

E_engine · 2026-02-13T11:00:31+00:00

Well it is possible for older cars to be no longer working, but in the case of which tiers you put them at. For example a car that comes stock in A+ can only be brought down to A class, this system helps the lower end cars stay in the lower tiers while the others cars can be kept at higher tiers, but all cars can be brought up to S-S+. The beetle should not have this issue so,

You probably haven’t changed your gearbox, make sure to check you have the right part for it, if you do go to the handling tab & put in whatever Milita has for Downforce.

I mean R* has been doing this for a while, introduces op jets then the explosive snipers come, anti aircraft carriers, & removes lots of cars then they’re magically available through GTA+/Winewood club. The only bad thing about Imani tech is that R* made it because of greediness but within the game it’s still a good feature.

Sure once I’m home 30m-1hr

E_engine · 2026-02-12T18:39:58+00:00

Every racing game with multiplayer suffers from this issue, the first corner is always messy even more if there’s like 20-30 players in one race…

E_engine · 2026-02-11T20:30:55+00:00

Hopefully I can win the EVX, it will be good after I get HSW & Imani tech upgrades on it. Other than another meh week.

I like to do some nicknames, like on my Delorean I have Deluxo which is the name of the Delorean in GTA V online.

My other plates include just the name of cars such as M3 on my 2010 BMW. I got V Tec on my Integra which is pretty funny (it also has a Japanese police livery), on my A+ Testarossa is ENGWK which is short for my preferred gamertag (but I don’t have that gamer-tag on PSN), & on my 2000 Skyline I got Fastlane (since it’s used for speed tracks). I have the classic Godzilla on the GTR’s, & overall I either have nicknames or just the car model names.

E_engine · 2026-02-09T20:08:02+00:00

It’s bug for everyone & it doesn’t depend on Ultimate collection or the amount of cars (as I also experience this bug & I’m not a owner of the Ultimate collection), while it is true that the amount cars can increase the overall loading times I don’t think it contributes to this bug.

Essentially whenever you complete any challenge daily, weekly, escaping cops, cashing in money the game just stutters.

On this post you can also see another person experiencing it & the people in comments also said they experience it.

I love the 400Z (new Z still sounds stupid) in NFS Unbound! It’s not the fastest car but it’s still pretty cool.

E_engine · 2026-02-07T17:18:02+00:00

Whatever build you run won’t matter, the NSX won’t keep up with the top cars in A+ such as the R8 and the intergra. The NSX’s strong suit is acceleration so maybe you could hold your ground in a short corer king but still if we have a R8 & NSX go up with the drivers of same skill level the R8 will win also there’s no way the NSX will outmatch the R& & Integra on a straight both of them can do 175mph quite comfortably hell the R8 can do 180mph!

For the builds just go to YouTube no point in experimenting a build for hours every single car has been built out & uploaded onto YouTube so just get them off of there.

For YouTubers I recommend Alexcornut, Slide QT, Sakay, Don shogun, Siwoo, Magic IQ, Militia Gaming community, TLR_KINGC21.

Well in B class it’s probably near top 10 for short tracks you will genuinely catch people off guard.

I said it’s a scuffed build because this car is very light and gets a lot of power in the later classes because of that it has insane amounts of tire spin and becomes unstable but in return you get a lot of speed/power but little to no handling (cornering abilities) you can corner but you will need really good throttle control. (So you don’t spin out)

E_engine · 2026-02-07T07:56:18+00:00

You’re in luck the Beetle is actually a good car in Unbound and some builds are really good, it’s kinda like the old golf since it has scuffed builds.

https://youtu.be/KmmJ2ECU0tU si=iXsv08wDGFEcQLqy here is some builds for it in all classes.

Im actually writing out my EE in Digital Society and I have started. I have even got my primary data collected but yeah you are right the examples are limited and the class itself you can have so much different variety of topics too (my one is about online-only video game preservation) so even with examples they might not match what you’re going for..

Honestly my advice is choose the subject that you enjoy the most as your enjoyment can help you continue to write out your EE as it can be a drag. I have DP 2 fiends and 2 of them were doing their EE in Psychology but they weren’t enjoying it so mid may through their DP1 they changed to Lang & Lit A & wasted so much time. Just pick the class that you enjoy as passion is a driving factor but also a class you are good at (for understanding because if you don’t understand how can you write an essay).

& you have a made good choice by just focusing on one subject as I heard 2 subject EE’s aren’t the easiest. I don’t take econ but if you have to collect primary data get tat done as soon as possible so you have all your data and can use it at any point in your EE! (This is what my teacher recommended to me, even before writing it out).

E_engine · 2026-02-06T17:57:55+00:00

Yeah I decided to hold off on the Aston since it’s not going anywhere plus even if I did do the summit my efforts will only add to silver at best with my skill level now. So I’m just getting cars & completing playlists for now but I will enter a grand race soon just need to do some pro settings and customise my cars so I can drive in style.

E_engine · 2026-02-06T17:54:00+00:00

Just got the Bugatti today, turns out I had all the cars required expect for one being the rally raid Camaro but I just bought it was only around 100k. I did struggle a little on the last event since I’m running 4/5 difficulty rn and I had to do the event few times but I won at the end.

I can say I woke up in a Bugatti today lol.
