Does anyone else have stability issues with windows 10? I crash fairly often and get weird graphics issues every once in a while. Also how do I join the club, is windows 10/xbone cross play?

Nah there are serious issues with the PC version. I get crashes every hour or two that I play and weird pop in stuff. Hopefully it gets some patches.

So the last Forza game I played was Forza 3, which I absolutely adored. I loved the huge selection of cars and the flexibility the game gave you to do horrible things to them and wound up playing the hell out of it.

Hey me too!

1. Yes all the customization and fiddly tuning stuff is there from what I can recall of three.

2. Yes you can turn assists off and set various levels of simulation. No fueling and I think damage simulation is toned down quite a bit from three.

3. I have no idea how multiplayer or drivatars work. Sorry

4. This seems to be hit or miss. First it ran terrible for me, stuttering crashing all the time. Then, last patch it was fine. Today it crashed for me a few times, but I turned off my microphone and it seems better, but I also get stuttering again if I've been playing a while.

I enjoy this as much as I enjoyed three and I've been disappointed by a lot of racing games since then.

:frogsiren: PC patch is live, early reports are that it fixes pretty much every problem :frogsiren:

Still reinstalling the game myself, but according to the various FH3 Discords I'm in, the game is no longer broken on PC. Stuttering is gone, CPUs are actually being utilized properly, framerates are up, the game doesn't crash every few minutes, input lag is gone, and THE UPGRADE MENU ACTUALLY WORKS PROPERLY NOW HOLY poo poo

Patch is 1.63 GB. Download servers are probably being hammered right now.

Soo excited

Were they ever talking about bringing Forza 6 over to PC instead of just Apex? Fingers crossed that FH3 does well enough that Forza 7 gets to be Windows 10.

with a 970 and an i5 i can run everything on ultra, 2560 resolution, 60 fps, so if your pc is beefier and the game is running worse you probably did something wrong

mine is the same as yours, except I'm running 1920x1080 resolution and I can't run it on ultra without all sorts of graphics glitches and crashes.

Real talk: they need to fix the difficulty levels in this game. It's insane how instantly unbeatable the AI becomes as soon as you go above "above average"

I'm at the level right below the top most difficulty and it seems relatively easy still. The AI is really not nearly as interesting as the last Forza I played which was 3 I think. I thought drivatars were supposed to bring some character to the AI, but I'm always racing against cars with no liveries or anything

They do have liveries. Join GRRC and you should see a ton of them because it is what most ppl seem to use. I think drivatars take whatever your favorites are in each given class that the active player is using and randomly assigns them. If they don't have a car in that class it is usually something really generic.

And yeah, the AI is god awful but what can you expect from an open world game. Just go online and the races against other players are pretty great.

I am in GRRC, maybe I've just been racing in car themes that people don't have favorites in. I think the one I've been racing a lot lately is retro hot hatch

The thing with the AI is it is super uneven. You can put the difficulty all the way down to new racer and there will still be 1 car that hangs right with you, but you can crank it to the highest level on some tracks (mostly paved ones) and just leave everyone behind. The AI does not seem as affected by terrain as the player, especially when it comes to water. I've had AI drivers blow past me in rivers as if they were totally unaffected by the water despite being in the same exact car as me.

I noticed the water thing for sure. That poo poo sucks. I hit water and slow wayyyyy the gently caress down and the AI just powers through. Have the devs acknowledged any of that stuff?

Fuji is fun and still a good technical circuit, come catch these hands.

I now also really want Forza Horizon 4 to be set in Japan, combination of highway racing, wide city streets (ala Yokohama from PGR2) and mountain/valley roads. Only hard part is it may be more difficult to have off-road racing, without a massive open desert, but could just make a few wider beaches and let you drive through tons of rice paddies instead. Could be as loving a note to car culture for Japan as Horizon 3 has been with Australia.

Some day someone will put a game in the Seattle area and I will have so much fun.

I heard that Horizon 3 was a turd when it was released on PC due to bugginess and glitches.

Has this been fixed? I downloaded the demo and performance seemed pretty smooth and stable there, but I read a lot of bad performance reviews from when the game first came out, so I thought I'd check here first before I buy the thing.

I still get the weird hitching every once in a while for no reason in particular, I haven't crashed in a while though

If I know for sure I'm going to buy a game no matter what I pre-order it. I almost never pre-order games, but the Forza series is pretty consistent in its quality so pre-ordering doesn't seem like a bad thing.
