This is the buggiest console game I have ever played and that includes Cyberpunk 2070. I had 6 crashes in 4 hours and at one time the game started crashing when loading my savegame, took 8 tries before it worked again. Managed to do all the seasonal stuff though, see you in a week I guess.

it doesn't even come remotely close to my experience with subnautica, though that was on pc. that remains the only game in which the bugginess outright ruined the game for me.

well, i also have sonic 2006, but i knew exactly what i was getting myself into with that one.

that said, morrowind and kerbal space program are two of my favorite games ever so the bugs in fh5 haven't really bothered me much lmao, i've got a really really high tolerance for them.

Did the physics change with the new season or something?

Every single car is now screeching, understeering, and painting lines on the road with the front tires when I press the turn button at anything above like ten mph, and they certainly weren't doing that yesterday.

e: I made sure nothing was bumping my flight stick and restarted and now it all seems fine again. Maybe it was detecting that I had a controller and was disabling some of the invisible keyboard assists?

Yeah you don’t have to do anywhere near everything to get both reward cars. There’s a huge buffer so that you can get all the rewards and never have to touch one or two of the event types.

As far as I can tell there’s no reward for going over that, there might be an accolade? If so I haven’t seen it, I maxed out a couple of the seasons last series but didn’t see anything special.

I 3-starred three separate Trailblazers I hadn’t touched before and the chest still didn’t unlock for me. Will it appear on the map without having to complete the clue first, or are we SOL until they fix it?

Okay, i have figured out how to do the Mazda of all trades accolade. hold on to your butts

preface: for some people, when the accolade is pinned, the tasks it tells you to do are just do 25 other random other accolades but that's just a text error, it's still always 25 candy canes, 25 trees, and 25 snowmen

1. build an awd mazda with snow tires and the 4 rotor for that sweet sweet noise
2. go to the stadium ice rink, smash 25 candy canes and as many trees as there are there
3. go to the city church square on the westish side, there are a bunch more trees there
4. fast traveling may reset your candy cane count
5. once you have 25 trees, restart your game and your candycane count should go back to 25
6. go to the top of the mountain, there are 5 snowmans on the top of the volcano
- on a rock halfway up the hill on the west side of the lake straight south of the titan start
- on the southern tip of the lake
- beside the shack directly east of that
- 2 around the buildings further east on the other side of the hill
7. you must hit the snowmans with your front bumper for it to count
8. they still won't count half the time
9. warp back to the festival to reset the snowmans
10. go back to the mountain and smash the snowmans
11. repeat until done

and boom! enjoy your 250 accolade points!
Note: the silent night horn you win is in sound effects, and not musical horns, because ???

Man that blows. It's so different from how it's been for me, the game has never crashed once and never had any serious bugs, not even the ones I've heard about from other people.

Seems like the Steam PC version is the most stable, console and Microsoft Store versions have all kinds of issues.

Is the Eventlab bugged in some way? I select it from the playlist and it opens the map screen but nothing happens there. I also tried the drive three cars in an eliminator game daily and it didn't register.

Two things:
For the snowmen to count you need to get the "snowman" skill to trigger. It will not trigger if it's too close to another, or other dumb times like if your skillchain ends right before you hit it.

Second, if there's another player in the open world also hitting snowmen, the snowmen are not instanced so you can just have them stolen away.

Anyone have a hint for the Pyramid of the Sun speed trap?

It's too bumpy for my normal speed-run S2/X cars, and nothing else I've tried can hit 165 in the short run-up you have to it.

start in the woods and rewind if you hit a tree

i used the Ultima but it's probably possible with the Toyota T100 if you start far back enough

Got it with the Zenvo, finally, by just launching from a road half a mile away and blindly speeding through the forest.

Seems kind of cheap to do it that way, but I got my stars, so... whatever!

If you look at the leaderboard for that speed trap you will see that almost everyone does it with a supercar that way. I'm not even sure it is possible to beat it "legit", it's easily the hardest speed trap in the game.

Had to look up which one you were talking about but I did it legit. I did a lot of the dirt ones in my Offroad tuned Audi R8 V10. The Hoonigan RS200 probably works better. There's plenty of room to build speed if you come from the north, and kinda heavily cut the corners on the lil chicane.

Yes, apparently it's like the others where if you've already done all the trailblazers it won't complete when you do it.

That seems to be any Trailblazer, because I only had one three-starred, and I went through and three-starred about five of them yesterday, and I didn't get the chest to appear.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Holy poo poo the Trial is just insanely frustrating. Fourth attempt just now, we won the first race and were winning the second. Right up until the last corner where a pubbie teammate shoves me into a wall, missing a checkpoint and dropping me from fifth to last. We lose hundreds of points, and the race, then the third race too :rolleyes:

Pubbies pushing you in team trials really does my head in. If you're faster than me, fair enough, go ahead, that's more points secured at the front, but at least make some effort to pass me cleanly, the second you appear on my screen I'll make sure to get out of the way in safe fashion.
