Is it just me or does anyone else find the game's volume in general very low? Even on 100, it sounds like 60.

Engine sounds are bit inconsistent for me, some are very loud, others just get swamped in the music. Other than that no audio issues.
 
I was driving about in free roam when the game suddenly drops to 10fps and stuck at that framerate... no sound either. Restarting the game fixes it. A rare occurrence, as it has happened once before.
 
Sometimes when I save a created design, I click Apply Design to put it on my car, but it stays on the screen. It doesn't freeze, but it stays on the menu and can't exit out unless I close the game.

Are you using a wheel? I had it happen where it seemed that the window to select friends, blueprint event, wouldn't close - stayed in screen. None of my wheel buttons could close the window. I had to switch to a gamepad to close the window. Just a thought.

Edit: I guess you wouldn't be using a wheel while creating a design.
 
I'm cheap, what can I say :)

And I'm quite used to it, I play The Crew and other PC racing games on my keyboard.

Also, whoever DigitalLuke is in the GTP Club, you put up a good fight on the Goliath Circuit 👍

Honestly I got used to the issues lol. But I really hope this patch fixes those problems. A constant 60fps is all I need right now. But Surfer's Paradise is where the real test comes in.

A keyboard, wow...

Then maybe it is the same issue. The game seems to be expecting a default gamepad button response to close the window.

I use my DS4 and i am content with it. However i need to hardwire it, Forza doesn't like when the DS4 is on bluetooth....
 
Tried various resolutions with the game and comparing 16:9 vs 21:9
I found the GTX 1070 (b4 new patch) looked great with all settings tanked but using 3840x1620
Wish I had 4K TV to really see it at this resolution properly in the 21:9 aspect as have it downscaled on my 1080p display.

Point to note if you have a 4K TV then try this custom resolution as not only is the 21:9 pretty cool but at this res on a good size 4K TV it is not only going to be bigger than a 34" gaming monitor but also even higher res than their 3440x1440.

I bought and play the game with XB1S pad and USB BT dongle.
 
Yeah I tried playing at downsampled 4K (DSR) on my 1440p monitor, and it doesn't look as good as running native 1440p. Would love to see this game on 4K native TV.
 
I run 1080p on 21:9 mainly because my monitor is 21:9, so I wonder if those would look even better, grant it playing on a GTX950 the game already hates me, 40fps on medium, but constant video memory warning blah blah blah, could only imagine above 1080p for that.
 
Going by the patch note post on Reddit, if seems like there's also a fix for the blurry photo mode on PC. Fingers crossed!

I'd love my pictures to look crisp at full size. Saves me the hassle of scaling them down to 800px to make them look sharp.

Cant wait to get my photography skills up and going :D
 
Another update, and looks definitely better than the first one, good going on them. 👍

Thought it was up already, hehe, looks like in around 2-3 hours.
 
Someone who thought at that time it might not overstress the servers?

As stated in post on other chat, I was averaging around 40-45, now I'm at 11-15, I'm going through process currently to see if that is having any affect, and I'm then going to restart, but before update I was having no problem at 40ish FPS
