That makes a some sense. I just don't understand paying for GamePass and buying the exact same content you've already gotten from by paying for GP.

Well up to and 1 hour and 45 minutes with no crashing. Weird.

The point of GamePass for me is to play games I normally wouldn’t be interested in buying full-stop, with the added benefit of being able to try smaller games I normally wouldn’t play, out of pure curiosity. When it comes to a game like a Forza Horizon 5 - I’m going to purchase because regardless of my GamePass membership status down the line I always want access to the game. It belongs in my collection. So no, not everyone perceives the value of GamePass in the same way.

Every once in a while my screen just goes black for a second, I’m in PC, any one else experiencing this?
and today the game started randomly dropping to 30fps from 60, just for a moment, but it’s bizarre. Game has been nearly perfect til today.

Win all 3 stages ‘complete’, seems impossible or broken in current state.

Curious if the game shows you the classes it makes up for certain seasonal challenges.
Seasonal runway danger sign says you need an S1-class "retro sports car" to complete it.
I got a three star rating in the '69 Dodge Charger. The game told me it's not the right kind of car. Is there a place to see if your car is a "retro sports car" for example or is just trial and error? Or could it be because this Charger is a Forza Edition? Not sure why that would make a difference though.

Go to change car and it will show you a list. Then press y I think and you can filter until everything except modern sports cars. It might be select instead oF Y, cant remember tbh. One does manufacturer and one does class etc

Yes let's make the game even more trivially easy from a driving perspective, that's exactly what it needs.
You can already drive through trees and metal barriers turn to dust so sure why not, just remove everything else and drive in a straight line to the finish line.
When you're on the seasonal challenges page the right stick allows you to get each card to show you what the restrictions are.

Just did a convoy with my son and the first hour we played was fine, although we’d disappear and reappear occasionally, but after that we had connection issues where we’d be in the same convoy but his name had a spinning loading circle next to it. He showed on the map, but not the game. Hopefully they get that ironed-out. Had a fucking blast doing Horizon Arcades and Danger Signs together.

Agreed. You also get the feeling of being carried like a baby. Win a race? You're the greatest, here's some points! Lost a race? You're the greatest, here's some points! Do a flawless race? You're the greatest, here's some points. Screw up the whole race, bring down fences and lamp posts, smash against other cars, etc.? You're the greatest, here's some points!
It really is a game for the generation of participation trophies.
The graphics trump all the rest of me, though. At least for the first few hours of gameplay.

I just wish there was a way to turn all that crap off along with the cringy character/avatar stuff.
I've made the game enjoyable for myself by turning rewind off, assists off, manual gearing, driving line off and setting AI to pro (I'd also like to turn damage on but the AI are too retarded for that and it's just frustrating), but yeh, all of this nonsense really kicked into another gear with FH4 and they seem to have doubled down on it in this game along with the seasons stuff (which I genuinely thought they removed until it appeared in the menus this week along with the list of cars that can only be unlocked via doing the seasonal stuff).
Clearly there's an audience for all of it because there are more people playing horizon than ever but personally it makes me sad considering the earlier entries in the series. This is basically COD/Fortnite if it were a racing game, even down to the types of multiplayer events. Yesterday I had to hunt down an actual treasure chest in an area just for 50k credits...
All the reasons I fell off FH4 are still there but the much better map along with the improved driving physics are keeping me engaged for now at least.

When it gets going it is awesome, but jeez does it take quite-some-time on the base Xbox when it comes to actually getting on the road to go on the joy-ride...I went to go out and try a special stunt event and it was taking forever just to load...(this being on Gamepass..) in the end I just turned the console off, all that was happening was just a spinning wheel in the corner..

Tuning cars to specific tracks or tasks make sense. It is weird to just drop in a community tune, but TBH I'm not so engrossed I want to actually spend the time tweaking settings to get different performance just yet. I did that shit back in the GT 1-3 days but am an old man who values his time nowadays. Maybe I'll get the itch again, who knows. I say the community tunes are a good thing for me, even though they reduce the difficulty.

Spent some more time in the paint booth last night before I realized a few hours had passed. I reworked another car I originally made in Forza Motorsport 5
Originally it was solid navy blue with white decals but I was limited by layers in FM5 and masking layers didn't exist. I remade a couple manufacturer decals completely and added the Quantum colors and backdrop to the car. The end result is a massive improvement.
Before:
After:
The car really pops at night and in high contrast shots
There are a couple small things to touch-up but I'm pretty happy with the changes the extra layers and masking shapes allowed. I've been digging through my old liveries looking for more to update.

Only just started playing. This game is just so beautiful. It's obviously technically impressive, but just driving around the world and seeing the vistas...it's incredible stuff.
Worth the download to just drive around and look at stuff.

How well optimised is this game?
I'm running it on my ROG Zephyrus G15 with a 3070, through my LG CX at 4k, and easily getting over 70fps on extreme settings.

"Look at this pristine example of sacred rainforest and untouched archaeological sites."
"Let's invite 20,000 hipsters to come see it and play dance music."
The actual game part of Forza is really fantastic but sometimes it feels like it's fantastic in spite of itself with regard to the story/writing.

I got notification that my wheel & rig are at the local post office & will be out for delivery tomorrow. So stoked and waiting is excruciating.

I always lumped these games in with the Fast and Furious movies in that both are dumb as fuck but I thoroughly enjoy them. I think the garbage writing is just self-aware enough that I'm not bothered by it at all. It's all good fun and the games themselves are really enjoyable and keep me coming back for years. I think it might make it worse if they decided to get serious with the setting and story.

I need to revisit some of the speed traps as I see people have bumped me off most of the top spots.
I think I bugged the one at the festival because I had to know how people were hitting 350 in the Porsche and went through that one at around 400 and since have hit it at close to 300 in a Lambo but not moving me from the 290ish mark

Yeah.. Mine seem empty and then hardly anyone does it right. I played Forza Horizon 4 an average amount but I don't remember the players being that bad.

Last I saw you had a 309 and I can’t break 308.5
Need to find a better tune tomorrow
Side note the one tune labeled 311 MPH…

That's a good analogy and I totally agree.

Haven't played a Horizon title since 2 and I'm really enjoying this one.
Oh btw, your drivatar is a fucking asshole.

Not sure if it’s been posted but the Forza team gifted a Porsche with Xbox 20 Year Anniversary livery. Outside of the listed games, I think it looks pretty cool.

Yeah I saw that tune. I was doing better with my own, around 307, but I downloaded that miserable pile of lies without realizing I hadn't saved my own. There is a tune called 310 that I ended up using to get the 309 but it's a clown tune where the car will frisbee off the road if you so much as fart which doesn't work well if there's any traffic to dodge.
I think to get higher than 310 you'd need to be in the hot season. Wet season roads are several degrees colder. I was checking telemetry during several more attempts and noticed running at night the surface temps stayed lower and I had trouble breaking 306 because the car was actually producing wheel slip on the hill just before the trap. Running in the late afternoon the surface temps were much higher and weren't slipping there. If I keep it pinned past the trap later in the afternoon I'm at 310+ by the bend in the road. The Forza Motorsport underpinnings of the game do play a role in this game. If you drive into the ice water at night on the volcano for instance you'll see tire temps drop to -1C if you sit there. Around the active volcano the ground hits 65C. Both too much heat and too much cold have a negative impact on the handling in the game. While it's not as amplified as in the Motorsport games, when you're trying to squeeze out another mph it does affect things. Pretty cool for an open-world arcade racer.

I got the Dolorean instead of doing the seasonal challenges. That's as far as I'll go, I don't want to completely break the game. No judgement if somebody else does it, though.Works on all cars , I found
