My nickname is "dog". I thought it was like a cool "dawg" but no, it is literally just "dog". It is hilarious hearing the announcer go "Welcome back dog" like im some kind of lowlife, which I kinda am I guess but still.

So someone explain to me how Rivals work. Someone on the Discord said they beat one my times, but I don't see it under My Rivals. I did some Rivals races myself and I don't see my winning times under My Rivals either.

For you to receive a notification that someone has beaten your time they need to have set you specifically as the rival a.k.a the ghost that they race against. If they just beat your time you won't get a rival notification.
The way it works is that you go to the track, select rivals, then you select your rival and you can filter top, times close to yours, friends, club members and finally club members + your friends. So you need to pick someone that you specifically want to beat. Hope that makes sense.

huh, apparently having "PENIZON" on the vanity plate doesn't trigger the anti-profanity filter. That is good.

In much worse news, I crash to desktop constantly. First it was before even getting to the main menu, I updated Windows with some non-essential updates and I finally got through the intro/character selection/first car selection, but as soon as it was loading the open world it crashed again.

That sucks.
Run it as admin, I stopped having crashes when I did that. Really loving annoying though because I had to redo the intro like 4 times

Additionally, there's no reason why the RT reflections for Forza Vista and the garage couldn't have been extended to gameplay - indeed, one of our amazing DF supporters shared with us a mod for enabling them in-game, and it works. Crowds also update at 30fps on all platforms, and for a title that concentrates so much on fidelity and performance, synchronising them to current frame-rate would be ideal.

This game, like the last (but worse), has way way way way too many lines of dialogue and they're all delivered very poorly an a somewhat offensive, inaccurate accent. There are waaaaay to many pauses in between lines of dialogue (that I'm sure were stitched together) so you'll listen for 5 seconds, think it's finally over, and then you get another 5 seconds of "mi padre" this or "familia" that in a bad accent. It really gets frustrating, especially when you're doing an event for the 3rd time because an AI car drove straight into you again.

And then after a race I just wanna listen to some bangers on Hospital radio and someone will start yelling in my ear about some fake Mexican history, pull me to the event screen, talk my ear off, then auto set the GPS which will begin yelling directions at me.

In addition to the random times where my velocity goes straight to 0 (I assume d/cing from or swapping lobbies), the game just loves to take control away from you ALL THE TIME. Just give me a loving popup or something, I don't need to be forced to mark this event on my loving map.



Just to be clear, I loving love this game and nothing beats a nighttime drive at 200mph with DnB blasting while I do some multi-track drifting.

I started yesterday, managing to finish the opening after like 4 crashes. I still need to run the game as admin, and probably quit discord to have it be stable. Even today I had a random hang of the whole pc while just driving the map, the music stuttered, then the road ahead stopped rendering, and I guess I was too slow on the ctrl alt del cause even that didn't kill it before everything stopped responding.
Maybe today's visual C++ update will help? I'm loving what I've managed to play so far, it's just some small frustrations that dampen it a bit, plus having a small amount of time to actually play.

Will apply to the goon club when I unlock those

tl;dr basics:

- a bit of a lazy port with more detailed options missing
- no RT during gameplay unless modded
- no DRS (which is a bummer)
- higher resolutions are more taxing on CPU because of extra LOD which is quite unusual in games (might explain the stutters I get on extreme with my venerable i58600k)
- 4k30 requires a 2080, 4k60 a 3080

I kinda predicted this would happen but was still upset when I noticed this was yet another game with terrible Hispanic accents and the mid sentence language switching, which does happen, but not in the way seemingly anyone making videogames (or some movies) can figure out.

I think I’d rather them just have American English accents instead of this because yeah it’s eyeroll worthy at the best of times.

PSA : the forza edition racing truck that you may have gained from wheelspins (I did) isn't actually considered a truck by the game. So don't waste your time doing PR stunts with it for the daily thing, it won't count. You'll need one of the 2 trucks on sale in the autoshow.

It's really weird--I'm a 3080/4k60 rear end in a top hat like I was in FH4, but for some reason FH4 made my card constantly spin to ridiculous volume to deal with temperature/demand spikes whereas FH5 just sort of goes into a moderately high baseline and stays there. Dunno what changed.

Also, is anyone having trouble getting Festival stuff to pop? I've completed three Arcade events and like ten different truck PR stunts by this point and they won't actually fill out. I'm 36/38 already so it's not like I have anything to gain from it, it's just weird.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
Can I ask about how placing at the end of races works with the game at large?

Basically:
1. For progression, does the game care about you winning 1st place in races, or just that you complete them?
2. Does anybody have a graph or something that compares payouts for placing at the end of races vs AI difficulty increase? Like, if I'm playing against Unbeatable AI, what place to I have to get to earn the same money as placing 1st against the easiest AI?

Well yes, 4k60@max settings is going to lock the 3080 at nearly full usage throughout the benchmark. Mine is really not that loud however (evga 3080 ultra)

From what I read in the comments on that DF article both FH3 and FH4 continued to be optimized for quite a while after release so I am expecting the same here.

1. For progression of the "main game story" you need accolade points which you get for almost everything. There is no requirement or bonus for winning races to advance anything with a small caveat that there's some accolades and seasonal races for winning some races under certain conditions.

2. I don't have a chart but the increase in payout for better placement is negligible. Your real money maker is wheelspins imo which you get when you level up, which you get for xp, which is also only minorly or not at all affected by final placement.

So it seems like they've eased up the requirements for seasonal rewards, right? Assuming future seasons are similar to this one. I almost never got the 80% reward in FH4 cause I didn't do the trial or online adventure and almost never touched the playground. But now it seems like there's just a lot more stuff to get the points you need, so you can just do the things you like doing instead of having to grind.

Got all roads discovered now. For anyone still looking for the last few spots, check out this fell in the top right corner, just above the round road marker:



For some mad reason, that tiny sliver didn't get unlocked when I drove through that road before, and it's not necessarily the kind of road you go through too often. I found the tip about this one online, when stuck at 577/578. Apparently this tiny bit staying grey the first time is a classic.

2/ The radio sucks

3/ Better than FH4

4/ Is there any benefit to getting more than 26 points in the current season thing? I got both cars, but there are a few more points available, but nothing to use them for?
