Reading this thread I feel like the lucky one. So many people seem to be having issues while the game runs fine for me, Apart from the upgrade menu being sluggish. I get a solid 60FPS on ultra at 1440P with 2x MSAA, in the dozens of hours I have played it only crashed once, and all my VIP/Ultimate content worked perfectly right from the start. The only other issue I have is the inability to join an online lobby, but that is most likely due to my current internet connection having to run through a proxy, all other online features work fine.
I hope the issues are patched so everyone can fully enjoy the game without any problems. This is a great game and I am having loads of fun, even if I can't play with my friends due to my proxified internet.

Game crashed only twice in the whole time that I've played it. Happened just now, as well.
Tried putting the game on 30fps lock, with settings on Ultra except Motion Blur, at 8xMSAA, and using Nvidia's DSR at 2756x1156 I think. Runs smooth and much less stutters on my i5-4670 and 980Ti.
Auction houses has been loading up faster since the last time I played, which was a couple of days ago.

Has anyone else noticed your GPU clock frequency changing after the game crashes? I noticed this last night and today, the first time I play after turning the computer on the clock is where it should be and after a crash or two the frequency is locked far below where it should be. On my GTX 660 I can get a constant 30 fps on medium at 1080 once it crashes the frequency this last time would not go above 324 stock is 1090. I have to restart my computer for it to behave again. I am also on the latest Nvidia driver.

Very strange... no matter what I tried in the first day or two of playing FH3 I couldn't get anywhere near decent performance at 60 FPS (momentary freezes, jitter, etc.). I had reconfigured for Ultra settings and 30 FPS locked at 3440x1440 to get a smooth and consistent FPS. Last night and today, I've switched to an unlocked frame-rate and HIGH settings except for vehicles on ULTRA - runs very good fluctuating between 55 and 65 FPS but pretty smooth and a lot easier on the eyes (more fluid) than 30 FPS. I haven't play a lot to verify a consistency over a longer period of time but I have to wonder why - less decryption, less server activity, ??? Now I would much rather play on PC and my XOne.
EDIT: I've been watching RAM, CPU, GPU, and GPU memory usage while playing. Most everything is close to max. (except RAM, I have 16GB) during a lot of on-screen activity. 3 of 4 CPU cores are hitting 90-100% and GPU usage occasionally hitting 90-100% with VRAM consuming 4GB at times. I'm wondering if the crashing some are having is related to running out of hardware resources, I'm not getting any crashing - I may not be exceeding my hardware limits, just right on the edge.

Yeah this game stresses the system and a good deal more than APEX does so it could be a factor with stability. Do feel for those not able to launch the game but seems most of those or crashes may be down to "antivirus etc". I made sure to change my GPU to always have "full power" and not just "system optimal" which is the default setting within the power management. I did this just after installing it earlier in the week. Maybe isnt a factor but was just offering it as something to check for those having possible issues.
Had my first experience with seeing the full day-night effects with beautiful skies, whilst crusing, just driving out of the city leaving the sunshine behind towards storm clouds approaching dusk and towards the gradual darkness. The night fast upon me, only for the rain to start pelting down but my eyes noticing the detailed stars in the sky. It just kept me playing doing nothing in particular driving on till the dawn was approaching and in all these aspects having superb reflection mapping and how the light reflects off the car and game enviroment. The transition was beyond any other game I have seen before so I really am envious of those that will get to see this in HDR. When it arrives on the PC and being able to utilise the benefits of the PC version using the ULTRA settings, it will just be epic.
With all the issues this title is having on PC I can only say when it is running fine it is TOTALLY worth it. Fun in many ways, visually a stunner and just a great great showcase for modern openworld racing game can be. Sure 60fps will be nice but Im sticking with 30 till they have a proper patch in place. My reasoning is I would of re-bought an Xbox One to play this, it would only of offered 30fps anyways so for now being able to still enjoy it but experience it in ULTRA and even rendered in 4K with all max settings and 8 MSAA. It looks absolutely spanking and far beyond what is possible on the console. Later if the 60fps or frame-rate drops/stuttering is fixed then that will be a bonus just as I hope HDR will also arrive in future updates.

Okay dont ask why but I decided to tinker.
I found if trying to go into settings from main loading screen it crashes to desktop. Although If I hit continue to go into main game and then eventually into settings menu its fine. I have no issues coming out of game and using dual monitors messing around with other things and using ALT/RET for fullscreen.
Posted this on a response to a video by "aipolitics2" on Youtube.
Okay felt compelled to do some testing and share findings. Just something I noticed on my own config. (EVGA 1070 FTW with i7 6700 @4.6). I used "CAM" software to monitor my CPU/GPU. MY CPU is not being stressed that much to my surprise. I have all settings to ULTRA where possible, everything for visuals to MAX including 8x MSAA, 16 A Filtering and only motion turned off. All below are tested in this way with same settings except resolution.
4K
30 Frames with VSYNC OFF = GPU @ 64%
30 Frames with VSYNC ON = GPU @ 64%
60 Frames with VSYNC ON = GPU @ 98%
Unlocked Frames = GPU @ 98%
1080p
60 Frames with VSYNC ON = GPU @ 64% (Plays very good)
Unlocked Frames = GPU @ 98% So for me 4K @ 30 is fine as has been disclosed but trying to get 4K 60 frames is not working correctly with it tanking the GPU Only with 1080p can I get 60 frames to play well when using "Manual/Advanced Settings"
4K & DYNAMIC SETTINGS
Here when reducing to MEDIUM (this alters the MSAA and requires restart of game) and may be what Digital Foundry meant regards MSAA changes.
60 Frames with VSYNC ON = GPU 74% upto 98% It maintained 60 Frames for the vast majority of play but in some heavy sections like Surfers Paradise it did dip to @ 48 Frames at worst. At some points the GPU went to 98% but maintained 60 Frames within the city area. With this I was able to play with 4K @ 60 Frames enjoyably on my system.

So I started the game later this afternoon and it looked super sharp, was running between 50fps and 70fps and had tons of screen tearing. My cpu and gpu's fan were spinning very fast too. Turns out GeForce Experience had "optimized" my game, by setting everything to Ultra.
I turned everything to Medium again, with no FXAA and MSAA to 2x, 60fps and V-Sync (because crappy 60hz monitor) and game is running fine again.
Better watch out for that guys! Seems the new GeForce Experience optimizes games without letting you know.

Core disabling method produced good result for me. 4790k @4 with 970 in high setting game is running at 60 fps with no stuttering and 53 fps in surfer paradise and no weird stuff until like 2h of playing where suddenly my game turned unto a giant artifact with plain and flashy color all over the screen.

Guys can you keep on eye on your CPU load and comment regards what CPU you have/speed.
Not an issue for me but trying to help discover if the i5 struggle more over the recommended i7 or if the performance issue is more to do with the options that make the GPU go into 98% load, err it that also happens with you guys???

i5 2500k OC'd to 4.3 with 16 gigs ram
Normally my usage is around 60-70% 1080 resolution medium settings MSAA 4x
My issue like I said above is what happens to the GPU after the game crashes. I can get the game to crash when I set a way point on the GPS inside of or just outside of the Horizon tent. The other time and this is the big one every time I try and enter the 12 apostle race it crashes as it is loading the field which sucks because I am unable to progress farther into the game. After the crash my GPU clock speed is cut in half with no way to change it after the crash unless I reset the computer.

1920x1080, Ultra, 4xMSAA, FPS unlocked.
Core i7-4790K@4.0GHz (Turbo disabled)

GTX970
First pic is from me freeroaming in Surfers Paradise.
Second pic is me doing a race through the fields, starting from Surfers Paradise.
As you can see, my GPU is sweating, but my CPU is not impressed at all. FPS were varying from mid-30s in Surfers Paradise to 70+ in the fields.

I can confirm here too the thing with slowing down over time. Particularly after using the tuning (which are laggy for for pretty much everyone I guess) menus a lot and maybe even photomode etc. Quite frequent hitches and microfreezes which only goes away with restart it seems.

Not tried tuning yet but Ive had no issues with menus, forza vista, car selections, photo mode etc at all.
Like others will you PLEASE confrim that your GPU is not tanked to over 90%.
The point I raise is that happens on my own system the very moment I select specific settings it ramps the GPU to 98% immediately within the menu not even only during gaming. Trying to find if it is a root cause for others also?
Simply monitor your CPU/GPU when making changes to game settings or see my findings on last page.
