If I remember right, the older Forza games had a timer stat for how long you spent editing paint jobs. Mine was higher than time spent racing :v:

I know the easiest way to find your Horizon Edition cars is to just scroll really fast through the list looking for the HE bonus indicators but is there a way to filter for them?

The way I sorted mine (and my Online cars) was to just make them favourites, that way you can filter on them and at least then you only have 8 or 9 cars to flick through instead of 100s.

Yeah I noticed that option earlier. Now my Horizon editions, cop car and Main Force Patrol V8 Interceptor are more accessible than ever.

I was wondering why this buggy was so slow and getting my rear end beat until I remembered I lowered the trigger sensitivity to make drifting easier. Oops.

Nothing ever breaks on updates to the game on the They Called the Third Xbox the Xbox One.
Because it's not some hilariously unique configuration of untestable combinations of hardware, software, updates & malware.

PC gaming master race my rear end, I use my GTX 1060 to play casual $2.99 sports management grinding games on Steam and it usually works flawlessly except when it doesn't.

Motorsport manager is really good if you're looking for another manager game.

The joke is that I own a $250 video card and try to avoid playing PC games if the same game exists on either the Xbox One or the PS4 I own & console warrior for because I know if there's going to be a problem, it's going to be a problem on PC because there's an infinite combination of setups.

Sort of like when the SVP calls to angrily complain that the rounded corners and javascript hovers aren't working on the company website and you point out they're using IE 6

I enjoyed the hell out of the "motorsport manager" on the android play store from a developer called "christian west". its not as detailed as the PC version but was fun to play for a phone game. The Kairosoft motorsport manager is also fun.

Looks good but how do I tell it imperial for speeds and power but metric for weights? Ie, weight in kg but power in ft.lbs of torque.
[edit] it won't allow cars faster than 217 mph?

You don't, AFAIK. I'm pretty sure I've tuned cars to faster than 217mph without trubs.

I picked this up again on the weekend after not playing it for a month or so and while it still crashes at random times for no particular reason I'm having a lot of fun. The online races are way more fun than when the game launched because there is actual cars racing now and not a bunch of ghosts. It would be nice if they would fix that barn find that must have come in one of the updates to not get stuck in a continuous cut scene loop though.

Decided to pick this up for PC after having missed out on FM 5 6 and H2 due to not bothering with an Xbox One and I am loving it.

Surprised I can get 60fps and beyond out of an i5-3570k and a gtx970.

My fanatec csr elite worked with no ffb but switching it to g25 mode fixed that.

Haven't touched the game since release. Stutters to an annoying degree on my PC still after the last patch.

Heard the latest patch fixed things on PC, so I fired up the game and played for three hours without a hitch (except for some stuttering and not having online functionality).

Then I realized I was still on version 1.0.17, and some combination of Windows updates fixed my crashing.

I'm patching now and hopefully the latest patch will fix some of the stuttering so I can play this evening.

ethanol
Jul 13, 2007



You can usually last resort set it to xbone mode to resolve stuttering. That means locking 30 fps and setting the dynamic rendering to whatever achieves no drops. That's how I played the game for the first few weeks although it was crashing a lot back then, turning off microphone in the windows 10 settings is a bizarre fix but it worked for that. After one of the patches I don't get any stuttering and play the game in the 45-60 fps range on ultra

Turning off the microphone in the privacy settings actually hosed the online part of the game for me for some bizarre reason.

Yeah, I couldn't use the Xbox app until I turned the privacy off the mic, so I just unplug it when I'm not playing I guess.

Also I spent an hour and a loving half trying to fix the "Teredo tunneling protocol" bullshit in cmdprompt before I could even play online.

Two Tone Semi Gloss blue on blue. Polished Aluminium or Polished Carbon Fibre with the tint set to blue looked good, too. Now if only FH3 didn't save in crappy jpg. [edit] Using xbox one controller's screenshot function exports a png to OneDrive.
