First patch today / tomorrow, along with the first car pack.

Patch Notes posted:

Windows 10
- Fixed a performance issue on Windows 10 that caused stuttering with high or unlocked framerates on certain hardware configurations
- Improved stability on Windows 10
- Disable mouse move detection while driving
- The Windows 10 video options screen will no longer ask users to save when no changes have been made
- Additional options have been added to the Windows 10 Advanced Controller Menu. These include:
o Steering wheel sensitivity
o Invert Force Feedback
o Centre spring scale
o Damping scale
- Fixed a problem where pre-order cars and the Halo Warthog were not appearing in the Windows 10 version of the game for some players

Wheel Improvements
- Logitech G27 is now registered correctly on Windows 10, so the correct default mapping will be applied
- All wheels with enough buttons have had the horn added to their default mappings on Windows 10
- Fix to dead zones for acceleration and braking axes on wheels
- Default mappings for all TX Racing Wheel variants
- Fixed a bug where custom input mappings would not save successfully

General Improvements
- The Social and Rivals tabs will now unlock for players with Xbox Live Silver accounts
- Fixed a bug where the racing line would sometimes disappear
- Controller hot swapping is now available. Players can switch between controllers/their keyboard whenever they choose (including the wheel)
- Various content fixes for cars

In addition to the fixes above arriving with today’s update, the teams at Playground and Turn 10 are working on addressing further known issues in Forza Horizon 3 including force feedback and wheel support, general stability and performance, and more. Look for more details on these improvements in the future. In the meantime, check the support forums for both the Xbox One and Windows 10 PC versions of Forza Horizon 3 for the latest list of Known Issues, as well as workarounds for select issues in the game.

It's really not. There are more people happily playing FH3 on PC than there are people having problems. And windows 10 is actually pretty good. I haven't had any problems with it since I built my machine 2 months ago, aside from an activation issue due to a drastic hardware change that would have been a problem in Windows 7 as well.

Oh yeah, its whatever you call the bias when the loud minority shouts down the quiet majority happily playing their racing game. I'm just pissed and want to spread awareness of my being pissed.

I really considered getting an external SSD to put Win10 on (don't try to put Win10 on a separate partition from your primary Win7 install, learn from my mistakes), but I'm pretty happy I decided to go the Xbone route instead based on this thread. God Win10 is trash.


There is also a rad Ivan "Iron Man" Stewart scheme for the Trophy Truck. Pretty much this exact livery:



The trophy truck is fun as hell and I recommend everyone buy one when they can, doing 12 car trophy truck races is awesome.

Have they fixed the thing where if you upgrade a car then leave the festival, it makes the system process go nuts and use a full core until you restart the game?

Can't say, I haven't had that happen. My CPU usage, on average is around 20-25%, with core 0 being around 50-60%, on an i7 6700k, and barely changes

Lol this game on PC is such a clown fiesta.

I updated and launched the game, it crashed. I go to relaunch and now have to redownload the entire game. At least the xbone version is installed finally.

I'll come back to the PC version once they get their poo poo sorted.

Guess I lucked out because the patch seemingly fixed my crashing issues and I can even turn up most of the settings except MSAA and get decent framerates. Other than that the main thing causing stuttering is the dynamic geometry. It runs fine when I turn it down all the way and I'm happy with that - I spend most of my time on winding roads anyway.

No, seriously... what kurds?!
It finally recognizes my G27. Wow, this is some really loving terrible FFB. Why the hell is there a center spring? Why don't the effects of the caster drive the drat wheel centering (or opposite of that during funny business)?

Also, I have stuttering now in single player mode, great.

Is your Win10 fully up to date? There was a post warning that if you hadn't patched up before the FH3 patch dropped, it would redownload the game.

v8 swaps are fine in about any car but the whole thing that makes the rx7 worth it is the rotary. if you swap a v8 into an fd you might as well just buy a fuckin c5 at that point, since that's pretty much what you've got anyhow.

I did this about a week ago and havn't had a crash since. It still dips frames and stutters but I have already got used to it.

Post patch I've noticed no difference in performance, still has the occasional stutter. Disappointing but I hope they can fix it.

My wife owned not one but two SW20 MR2's, one in left hand and one in right hand drive. It's a good car.

For the record, the FFB in all horizon games is pretty low/underwhelming on Fanatecs on the Xbox 360 and Xbone, I think it's a feature to reduce the strain on your wheel when you repeatedly hit that third loving tree that's made out of utility pole material when the first two were made of cobwebs. So it's hard to say if those using G27s etc on PC aren't just experiencing the 'regular' quality of the FFB.

That's what makes me love the ls1 powered rx7's even more. The fact that you had this cool guy rotary and you poo poo all over it by cramming a fat push rod low tech v8 in it. Its.....

it defeats the entire point of the car. the rotary is the thing it has going for it, it is otherwise not a particularly remarkable vehicle. a v8 swap makes more sens in literally any other car on the planet.

it'd be like buying an mr2 and then cramming an engine in the front and taking out the one in the back. like why even bother buying the car.

there's also the fact that v8 swapped rx7s are more of a bro car than f150s with chinese lift kits.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
I'm on fully updated Windows--downloaded the update, then it instantly told me to redownload the entire game. I try launching it instead, prompts me to download the patch again, patch fails to download and says I should once again download the game. Fun times.

e: restarting WITHOUT re-downloading the game fixed it, no need to update, playing it works
