I'm not getting any stutter but then I installed it to my HDD instead of SSD. It could be that the stuttering is coming from the game being installed on SSD somehow.

Ahhh me and a mate spent like an hour trying to get that done. If you can screenshot the map for me I can probably scribble a rough route that we took. I think we ended up figuring out that at about halfway to the finish line the road becomes quicker than bush bashing because of all the trees in the way.

So just wondering about this, are there any tips for making money out of the auction house short of just moving on the HE spin wins?

I've not had too many issues thus far on PC for FH3 and I'm running an i5 with a 970. No real stutters and i'm running on high. Not getting 60fps all the time, but high frame rates never bothered me, so long as it's playable. Screenshots:

Put visual bodykit stuff on it - it is usually pretty cheap and can attract impulsive buyers that think you tuned the car beyond ricer mods. Set short auctions for when you're actively playing and don't expect to make too much off most single sales. As of right now people are just listing cars immediately as they get them and this is the easiest way to standout.

Digital Foundry had an interesting little video about getting good framerates on PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofFpnArXbJ8 Seems to boil down to 'turn MSAA off if you really want to be able to get a consistent framerate'. Personally I ended up going with a locked 60fps at 2560x1440, as it seemed to get rid of -most- of the micro stutters I had with unlocked framerate + gsync. I turned off MSAA and dropped Ultra off a couple of things I don't think I'd really notice, like shadows or something. andyf fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Sep 28, 2016 |

Note that ingame the radio telescope is labeled Parkes, which only has one huge dish (64m) and is in the middle of a sheep paddock. But ingame it is actually the Australian Telescope Compact Array which you can drive around. Also I just assume they meant the superpit at Kalgoorlie as the gold mine (and airport)

I think you can switch MSAA back on through the nvidia control panel and its supposed to handle it better than in game? Trying to work out if Frame Smoothing is good or bad.

It is really a shame this game is placed behind such a lovely business model. I liked the demo and I bet I would have a lot of fun with goons with this. And I do not even mind that they are cutting out cars to repackage as DLC in whatever sports pass/car pass/who the hell cares pass. Or that they cut certain events out of the game to package with another DLC within VIP Membership. Or that they cut out two islands to repackage as an expansion pass. But for fucks sake, forcing users to use Microsoft Azure to get custom audio tracks which then forces the user to pay $9.99 a month to use the back end service as well? gently caress me. I was placing my own music in custom tracks for Touchdown music, kick off music, whatever the hell I wanted to do with it using a clean interface in NFL2k4 on the original Xbox for fucks sake. All in all $135 for everything they sliced out to repackage as DLC, and a $10 a month charge to play custom audio inside the game when that poo poo has been accessible since loving 2003 to play custom tracks and use our own music (Rockstar gives us the option in GTA5 to this day) and not even give us the option for that. Forcing to use a service no one gives gently caress all about. And what is that charge for $2.99 to use the horn of your car? Please tell me there is something more to it then unlocking the loving use of your horn. Utnayan fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Sep 28, 2016 |

I don't get the Horn pack. Do you get extra horns for buying it? Otherwise you can just unlock all the horns on the way to unlocking the 50,000credit Re-spin skill.

You have a normal horn and get a bunch of special ones as you play the game. I actually don't know that the "pack" gives you anything beyond what you get playing the game.

Forza is the king of chiseling you. I'm surprised the in-game credits/money isn't for sale like GTA Online does, since they instituted the HE cars on the prize wheel thing. And don't get me started on the goddamn Porsche expansion we can expect in a year. I'm pretty sure the horn pack just immediately unlocks all the horns you would get through progression anyway.

Hahaha, i had a feeling this would work. So if any of you want to make stickers and designs and you're on pc, set forza to windowed mode and go grab Kuadro, its free and tiny, and lets you overlay images on your screen, like so.  Have fun making those designs you've always wanted

Goddamn the 50k wheelspin perk is so addicting. Got a Horizon Edition Jag from one of those, but had to force myself to stop after going about 300k into the hole. (Shame it isn't VIP wheelspins. You could probably make money  )

Combat Pretzel posted:Makes absolutely no sense. In regards to controlling and reading data from an SSD, it looks and works the same to the system as an HDD. Except insanely faster. I read somewhere that the game uses EFS and that causes the CPU usage to spike up as everything is being decrypted on the fly. Which also means the I/O activity is high because the encryption is preventing files to be cached and the CPU is bottlenecked reading a large amount of data. Because HDD read speeds are slower than SSDs, there's less data being decrypted per second so not as many CPU spikes. Well, in theory anyway. That's why I suggested that it being on HDD might work out better.

It's just like FH1 and FH2. In a couple months no one will be playing FH3 anymore but people will still want to play FM6. I'm sure we're going to get up to some GRC extracurricular shenanigans in FH3, but the core of GRC and GTCC is going to remain in FM6.

That's what happened with FH1, which is why I'm wary to buy this new one. Everyone went hog wild on Forza Horizon and then the fun wore off. It ended up just being me and a few people playing so I went back to Forza 4.

Goon Racing - With the Blueprints feature i think a lot of fun could be had with Asynchronous or Rivals challenges made directly for the Club. we'd just need to look into how hard/easy it is to share. Plus - you guys all race too early in the night anyways Ahh - that one or two weeks where FM6 started at 7pm and not 6 ... glorious days. Oh well. I don't get the complaints about the business model on this release. This game is loving Giant with Days worth of Content. DLC cars are just a staple of any racing game now and if they are doing work on Post Launch expansions ... that is cool. I find hard to complain about cut Content though when there are 350+ cars in a game at launch. VIP is a bit of a stretch, I'll give you that, but i guess i'm just used to it. Also Groove Music does not require a subscription fee to use a custom playlist in game. You have 5GB free OneDrive space to upload your own music. It still sucks that it removes DJ Skill Songs and has no shuffle. I believe the Horn pack is just an early unlock sorta thing, if I'm not mistaken.

You don't have to pay the music service to actually stream your own tracks, they just shove the subscription in your face.

Crumpet Strumpet posted:S U C C E S S That's cool, is it a Reliant Robin? I haven't seen one in game yet. I like how they will throw random stuff at you to try things you normally wouldn't. I won a D-class Datsun on a random spin and turned it into a modest rat rod:  Also got a McLaren that immediately sold for hundreds of thousands of cyber-bucks so I'll be digging into upgrades for the rest of my cars finally. This is the first Forza I've owned since 2 so maybe I'm a bit more forgiving than most but lol I can't be mad at the DLC pricing. Most of that the extra cars aren't even that important unless you're trying to collect every car like its a Pokemon game. It's not like performance is an issue. This is an arcade racer that gives you free supercars as you progress even if you have the worst of luck with lottery spins. I've managed to get dozens of my favorite cars in just the first day with only the standard entry version. This is mostly thanks to the Auction House which rules and I'm pretty sure if you play regularly you'll be able to find anything you want on there.

Ok so if I do not have to subscribe to Groove for Custom playlists, how would that work on Xbox One? Would I take the music and install it on a folder on the Xbox One? Or use my PC and install it on OneDrive and it automatically pulls it? That would really be the only thing holding me back right now if the DLC isn't that big of a deal. Also, any reason why there isn't a Forza Horizon 3 thread so the Forza 6 guys can have their thread in peace?  Utnayan fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Sep 28, 2016 |

I dunno about on a console but I usually just mute the in-game music of most titles and play stuff like I normally would in the background and just alt-tab if I have to change it. I also have a whole separate computer dedicated to stuff like music and video editing which essentially can double as a jukebox. You could always use your phone and plug it into your speakers or something if you're that serious about hearing exactly what you want to hear, idk?

Hurf, Forza's gone weird and every time I take a screenshot, it takes the framerate to 25-30 and it never recovers. Have to restart the game. Was not doing this at all yesterday. Most peculiar. Probably a launch-day bug that'll get fixed in a few weeks or so. (I hope) Just hit the 320k fans benchmark! e - oh wow ok it actually bricks the framerate between full invokes of the game. Gotta reboot to fix it. Windows being awful then I guess. e2 - looks like an issue with the (latest) nvidia driver. core and memory clock drop down massively unless I reboot. They should be => 1150 (Core) / 1750 (Memory) but get stuck at 600 / 400 and I can't seem to reset them. Is there even a way to 'restart' a display driver in Windows 10

Horizon 3 could have more long-term appeal for a few people like me who don't have an Xbox and can't play Forza Motorsport. Especially because Horizon 3 is just fun an casual and great for those days when I'm too tired/hung over to do anything meaningful with Assetto Corsa or iRacing.
