I rarely go into the field, motherfucker.
Whats up with Blizzard Mountain DLC? I made an 04 STI about 1k HP and it's S2 and every car I race against in the BM DLC is S1 I end up playing with the Drivatar Difficulty on Unbeatable to get a decent challenge, otherwise it's funny how awesome that dlc is.

Haha, I was doing Goliath (as usual), and I hit those goddamn beach houses (as usual), so I rewound and it put my half a lap back.

Mind you, it left everyone else where they were. I went from 1st to 12th with not enough race left to come back. So, as sketchy as rewind was, it's worse now. On the bright side, it seems like they fixed the bit where enemy cars would get retarded and just sit there if you got too far ahead of them.

If you have your PC set up to automatically update apps/games, hopefully FH3 didn't get done yet and you can cancel it.

the tl;dr is there's something wrong with the update on PC which corrupts saves, they've reverted the update on the server but if your machine has updated you need to uninstall and reinstall from scratch.

Somehow I lost VIP with this update (XB1), I just had to reinstall the VIP thing from the marketplace (??) but something you should check on before you lose double credits on a spin like I just did.

You can go to the map and filter by championship events or you can use Anna and ask it to guide you to the next one.

I put this down a couple of weeks ago after getting frustrated with the utter bullshit supernatural grip and control that other drivatars have on snow when you select any difficulty above average. Came back to have some fun in the snow and git gudder and it just boggles my mind how cheaty it feels. Take the hill jump cross country sprint up in the top left of the map. It defaults to extreme offroad, and I tried several times to race it using the two cars I had in that class, the Ford F100 Flareside Abatti and the RJ Anderson #37 Polaris, but even tweaked, they control like I've suddenly put away a bottle of moonshine and a generous measure of GHB while the opponent cars hurtle round snowy corners and over ice like they're on asphalt a good ten to fifteen miles an hour faster than I can take those same curves. So, I said gently caress it, turned traction and stability control back on, dropped the difficulty (which felt disheartening in and of itself) and hopped in my Subaru #199 WRX STI VT15R, which at least had the ability to steer and accelerate without deciding I wanted to go sideways.


tl;dr :mediocre: and nice meltdown

These trucks are generally pretty poo poo to race with, unless you convert them to AWD. That goes for anything in A class or higher really, for Blizzard Mountain.

Yeah I sort of got the feeling they were pants, that's why I went back to the Subaru. I've been slinging the Gurkha round without snow tyres too.

edit: I'd also like to say how insulting the 2000, 5000 and 7000 credit results are on wheelspins. Almost every time a HE car pops up in a wheelspin for me I end up hitting between the 2k/30k result. Rarely I'll hit 50k/75k/100k, and even when the cars on the wheel are crap it's a miracle when I land one. I've spent hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of credits on buying additional spins, it's nuts. I get wanting to draw the content out and people wanting to feel lucky when they do land a decent result, but come on. Out of the last fifteen wheelspins since I started playing tonight, 80% of them have been on the paltry end.

Or just get a wheel cuz it makes every racing game 100 times more fun.

Horizon 3 wheel feel isn't as good as FM6. And both feel bad compared to PC Sims. Still super fun.

Seeing as I've been playing a lot more racing games recently I have been thinking about a wheel. In particular, playing PCars with a controller was an exercise in Lament Configuration level suffering.

Yeah I've decided to be more flexible with the drivatar difficulty setting rather than smashing my face into a wall repeatedly while doing BM content. I'll start doing rivals more too, as mostly I've left it alone but if the money's better then I'm all over it.

I agree with whoever it was that said D and C class are more fun than A/S1/S2 too. While blistering, eye-boggling speed is without a doubt fun, hurling the slower cars around is a much richer experience.

Be sure the preload differential setting in the differential tuning submenu is at the 1/3 to 1/2 point of the line. That helps tremendously
