'What the gently caress is wrong with this guy???????'

- Forza players & Max Verstappen

But with Forza players you're usually already lapping them. But, I've enjoyed taking the aggressive inside line and forcing them wide (without hitting them). gently caress taking the outside lines with the proletariat. They don't know what is going on and will hit you into the wall / grass / etc. every time.

I'm (hopefully) going to be getting back into my Forza obsessed state with the arrival of 7. SAEG, where you at dawgs? We got some racing to do!
I assume car clubs are still a thing right?

I'd race with you guys except for being on the west coast which makes us being awake/playing online not a huge overlap very often, I enjoy the cool classic race cars you guys typically drive. Hopefully Jarf makes more race videos, I've missed those since Forza 4.

It's funny I can stil spot the cars I used in a few of these videos after all this time. Pretty sure the incar footage from the laggy car at the end is me also. Kinda glad we were pretty good about 'red flagging' a race when we used to have a massive first corner incident.


Also here's the one video I made that wasn't terrible.

Yeah, if you right click the volume control and select playback devices you can set a device for each audio source.

Hopefully if we get a good league going, it'd be neat to also have teams. SAEG, GRC, GTCC, LLJK, etc. in addition to overall driver.

Apparently there's an Xbox Voice chat for parties. https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/282539-xbox-app-on-windows-10/suggestions/7263711-cross-platform-party-chat-between-windows-pc-and-x

Since Xbox and PC players can both be in the same lobbies, there's no reason in-game chat won't work. However, voice chat in-game has been broken since at least FM5. I don't expect it to be fixed for FM7.

Yeah FH3 has in-game (and cross platform) voice chat, no Xbox app needed if you just want to talk to other people in the lobby. Always worked fine for me until I turned voice chat off completely because it was mostly listening to people cough or talk to their friends in the room or annoying kids or whatever and no thanks.

Forza 6 is mostly: Robot chat or

Lobby: Person A talks, heard by Person B not by Person C, can't hear Person C

Loading Screen: Person A talks, heard by Person B and Person C, can't hear Person B

Race: Person A talks, heard by Person C, not by Person B, can't heard either A or B.

My PC complains that it can't install VIP every day around 2 PM. It loaded some kind of stub for the game itself.

Do you know how big it is? When I pre-ordered it told me I had to select somewhere to install it with 100gb of free space but it wasn't clear if that was the total download size or the total install thing.

Thats going to be a real pain in the dick to download with the store downloader hogging all the bandwidth all the time.

The store only downloaded 4mb and then said it was good. :stare: This leads me to believe that Forza 7 has its own downloader and we won't be able to get the full game until release date, which is total horseshit. I will just be playing on Xbox One at Ultimate Edition launch and then PC later.

I think horizon did this for the super ultra early preload as well, the rest of the game was downloadable a bit closer to release.

When I bought FH3 the download managed to get stuck at like 3gb every time I tried, until I found a thread on the actual forza forums where people were complaining about the exact same thing. I'm amazed how ms managed to gently caress something up like downloading a game from a store, but somehow they managed it.
