Try the admin mode thing; you can make a shortcut on your desktop by right clicking the icon in the gamepass app. Launch that shortcut as admin and see if that clears it up. It didn't fix it 100% for me but did let me play for a couple hours with no issues.

I've beaten loads of GRCC rivals times now, you should all have some rivals notifications waiting for you in-game. I've done all road and dirt races, working on posting a clean lap on the gauntlet now (the dirt race). I'm mostly using A or S1 class cars.

Here is a tip to new players from seeing lots of different ghosts doing the same thing: Stop running into the barriers, it is much faster to use your brakes to go slowly into the corner and then accelerate out of it.

i'm gonna beat all ur times, get ready jerk :smuggo:

promote your windows user account to local admin and run the game as admin also.

If I want to get rid of a car is my only option to auction it or can I just sell it quick for an instant payout somewhere?

I put up my dupe A110 for auction with a buy it now price of 80k (essentially half off its autoshow price) and a goon immediately snapped it up. If you have a car you don't want/need or something, might be a good idea.

Unless you're sitting on a hoard of Willys with the super wheelspins all used up, then you should probably just remove from garage.

It's also quite alright to not use the penis exploit, for those new to the series. People will talk about how the game showers you with more or less than this or that, but if you just want to drive you'll get more than enough stuff. You don't have to sit and buy jeeps for an hour.

Thanks.

Also the Willys doesn't seem to return points when you get rid of it. It's still a great way to get free wheel spins but it will cost points.

Are points increasingly harder to get or do they always require the same XP or whatever to get them?

Always 50,000 a point. Always a 10 point limit per chain.

Ok, so the new mechanic that is most confusing me right now is the gifted car function.

So I can send gifted cars but only to random people within a certain category? I guess that can be fun for certain gimmicks, maybe put your own livery or tune on it and send it out into the world and hope for the best.

Has anyone received a car yet? Is it just a mess of Jeeps right now? Because that's what I blasted out into the world.

I got gifted a 69 Toyota 2000GT on the first day. What a badass car. I sent someone a Merc that I was just going to delete yesterday and got a kudos out of it. No idea if that does anything or is just to make you feel good.

Its just Westworld for rich car people, thats how I imagine my way past both the obscene things you do and how devoid the place is of people and traffic. The people grooving on the side of the road are all primitive animatronics. Honestly, the whole Forza Horizon atmosphere is so earnest and cheesy and wholesomely unironic that I just cant help being carried along with it.

I only wince a little bit during some of the cinematography for the intros and special events, and thats only because I associate that style so heavily with Top Gear, so it seems a bit naff.

Yeah I ended up with a lot of dupes in previous Forza games be it from T10/PG gifting them to me to wheelspins to whatever. It will be much nice to gift the vehicles than simply remove them from the garage if I can't auction them.

I've won an Enzo Ferrari, 911 Carrera S, S1 tuned Firebird FE, and Koenigsegg Regera from regular wheel spins. I spend the majority of my time driving C and B class cars. Give me a 90s Civic with a fake carbon fiber hood and I'll be so much happier, I have no need for 800 hp monsters.

is there any particular trick to getting the boards that are on top of buildings/planes/etc? usually it doesn't bug me too much but some of them are right near the main first section of the game and i can't for the life of me find a good place to ramp into them

should i have a car custom-tuned just for those? make it as light and floaty as possible?

Some of them depend on ramps that'll get unlocked as you progress, some just need a juicy gently caress of an off-road beast and some rewinding.

Edit: you can do it with a standard car too, but the run-up is easier with something that treats deep mud as asphalt

The only truly hard board to get without a ramp is the Los Jardines board on top of the white growing tent. With the ramp it was a breeze.

For anyone wondering what adventure you need to unlock the ramps it's the Horizon Rush pass. Also, you are refunded mastert points on gifted cars when the car is claimed I think for those wondering why they haven't got them back
