Maybe you'll get lucky and get that max credit glitch before Turn-10 fixes it. They haven't done anything about it yet because it started happening friday night.

From what people are saying on the official forum, it seems to be random. Most of the instances are happening after players collect their daily credit bonus. Their total credits shoot up all of a sudden to 999,999,999. There's a 17+ page thread about it here; http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/4916685.aspx

You ended your sentence with a preposistion. Bastard.
The annoying part is they've suspended any auctions that have a ridiculous amount of credits bid on them. All my money has been tied up in a unicorn car I bid on just for shits on Friday after someone bid 999,999,999 credits on it. "Under Review" my rear end.

I like the clowns that decided to fix it on their own by deleting their save file or trying to use up all the credits by buying cars.

I would probably just go hog wild and buy up everything and keep it. I figure Turn-10 can only do one of two things; Force everyone with the glitch, to start over, if they want access to the online features, or just ignore it.

I don't think they can ignore it. The AH is pretty sensitive to a flood of credits.. people who don't have glitched credits are instantly unable to use it because every auction instantly gets into the tens of millions.

To be fair, it does take away some of the fun for a lot of players. I like earning the credits legit and buying all of the cars in games like this. There's free play mode if you want to play with all of the cars right away.

I have those open (and had for a while), but my connection test still shows moderate NAT 95% of the time. Some googling seems to suggest it's an issue with my particular router (that I can't easily replace because it comes with my VDSL+IPtv connection), and that it's not a problem if it shows moderate NAT - at least not for most of the games out there. Forza however seems to really hate it. I just spent two hours trying to fix this poo poo, and it pretty much sucked all the enthusiasm I had for this game right out of me.

Edit: Hahaha, if I log into my router and deactivate and reactive the port rules, the Xbox shows an open NAT. But only for the first test, I can immediately restart the test and suddenly I'm moderate. gently caress this poo poo.

I've found that if you assign a static IP address to your xbox you'll eliminate the NAT problems. Most of my issues came from moving my xbox from time to time and my dynamic IP address would get assigned to something else on my network like a laptop. Once you statically assign your IP you can move your xbox around without losing the settings for whatever specific IP you assign. There are plenty of tutorials on the web to be found if you aren't familiar with how to do this.

A lot of people are probably panicking because Turn 10 came down hard on people abusing credit glitches in F3 and they think this will result in getting banned from the auction house, even though it's not something they did intentionally and is pretty much Turn 10's mess-up.

I said come in!
Jun 22, 2004

I think people are panicking too, because I guess a save editor is out there and people were using that to exploit the auction house. Turn-10 was console banning people who used that though. There were a lot of console bans in the first few days, over piracy as well. Some of those were false positives though and Turn-10 unbanned them, but most weren't. It was funny reading all of the threads from people who pirated the game and got caught doing it right away.

I think if you spend all the credits, you might be ok. I remember back when FM3 had the credit glitch with that camaro, people were getting banned. I got a lot of credits and then just bought a bunch of high value cars. I think Turn 10 was mostly just looking at people with high amounts of credits and seeing where those credits came from.

If you weren't using the credits to drive up prices in the auction house then I doubt they cared. They mostly targeted people who were making rare cars impossible for anyone but themselves to buy, which would have in turn made people not want to use the auction house at all.

Captain Howdy 0's musings on Manual w/clutch:

The Top Gear Test Track, Reasonably Priced Car was the very first thing I did when I installed FM4. I went straight to rivals and looked for the Kia C'eed on the TGTT and boom, there it was. Joy! Could I beat Jimmy Carr? (can't remember which car he drove, actually).
Thing is, I love Top Gear UK and I was REALLY disappointed by the TGTT poo poo in GT5. Here it was, the KIA on the TGTT. Sweet!
The other thing is, Rivals mode is like crack to me. Give me a ghost to beat and I am going to waste hours chasing it. I can't help myself.

I have driven manual since I first got a wheel (GT4) but my pedals don't have clutch so I always used the manual w.o./clutch option.

I noticed doing rivals on the TGTT that every ghost car was beating me to turn one. Like, by a few car lengths. I thought to myself, "How can my launches be so bad?"
So I finally enabled manual w/clutch and found the B button is clutch on my MS Wireless Wheel. Ok cool, it's right there by my right thumb, I just have to tap it every time I hit my flappy paddle.
Instantly, I am as fast or faster on every launch. Just like that.

I don't know about all that. Is that cool? Yeah, I keep forgetting to use the clutch button and hearing that awful grinding sound when I shift without it. But that will pass once the muscle memory becomes automatic.

Just saying that if you didn't know about the advantage w/clutch grants, let me be the one to tell you: turn it on and learn to use it if you care about turning in the best lap times you can.
