Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[boiltheocean]

Finally! The '04 has been the most elusive car in the auction house for me. Three times I've tried to buy one out only for it to fail, not today! Paid over the 14k I've seen them at before but at least this one had most of the upgrades already purchased too. It was a RWD drift car but I quickly took care of that. Also had another neat little haul again tonight.

The only "exclusive" cars I'm currently missing are the E63 and 2010 Golf R. I've seen the Golf plenty of times during the wheelspin animation but the Mercedes I've not seen once yet.

 

[Populuxe]

Dang. You folks are doing better than me. The wheelspin exclusive cars I'm still missing are:

1964 Austin FX4 Taxi
2013 Cadillac XTS Limousine
1993 Ford SVT Cobra R
2005 Honda NSX-R
2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT
2009 Lotus 2-Eleven
2018 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

 

[ImaRobot]

I really have no idea which cars are even exclusive, to be honest

 

[LongbowX]

The only two now I'm missing are the Taxi, and the '12 Mini. Because my garage is so full, I haven't been spinning at all lately though.

More annoyingly, there seems to be some discrepancy with my Ranked Adventure points. The game said I was Rank 10, and also said that that was the level of rewards I would receive at the rewards tier screen. But then it also said I was Rank 11 when I clicked back to the main screen. Yeah, and of course it only gives me up to Rank 11 in the rewards now...

Wow...they really broke co-op racing with this update. I loaded up one of my custom Goliath races, and despite starting it with two other friends, for some reason they ended up getting the regular Goliath route. This basically split the race into two separate races.

Not to mention the fact that my game has crashed three times within the past 90 minutes. They seriously need to roll out an emergency update, like, NOW.

 

[-Fred-]

Looks like I can add the Hoonigan Nova to my missing car list, then.

PSA: fortune island has completely broken this game

Trying to grind a custom Goliath with @CVPI93 @Cowboy @Firehound427 and we’ve had over a dozen crashes (it took us over 2 Hours to do 3 races) and we came across the WORST GAME BREAKING bug I’ve ever seen

Half of us did the the shorter “David” route

While the rest of us were forced to do the original Goliath Route, resulting in 2 seperate Races that we’re borderline impossible to win

This is completely unacceptable. This game is unplayable now. This NEEDS fixing ASAP

 

[Techlet]

How is The Trial still broken?

I've just done one where our team won 3 for 3 on Unbeatable (at least on my end), and I finished 1st in 2 of those races, and have not gotten the reward.

Really not looking forward to the next few Trials with locked cars as rewards that can't be "completed"...

You guys posted approximately the same thing, and then liked each others' posts? Haha.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Because we were both in the same race. Not sure what's funny about that.

I mean, I was with them as well but playing something else. It's bad. It's really bad.

 

[turbofozz]

The 2010 Golf R seems to be very exclusive to me. I’ve only ever seen 1 in a wheel spin and am yet to see one on the AH. Still chasing one as it’s my car irl.

 

[ShakesMcQueen]

I saw your post on the official forums. You might want to post it here too, as they have an "INVESTIGATING" support thread for the crashes:

As for putting you guys in two different events - that's just bizarre.

My biggest gripe with the game is how long the loading times are. I know the original XBone wasn't the fastest thing around, but it's taking me anywhere between 3 and 5 minutes to actually load the game!

I don't mind one big, long load at the beginning, as long as it isn't that way once you're into the game.

One thing that's annoying me though, is that I seem to get those long loads any time I switch between the mainland and Fortune Island - as though it's re-loading the entire game just to travel to this much smaller landmass. I'm trying to minimize any switching back and forth as a result.

That too. And sometimes it'll hang at the autoshow or in the garage screen for what feels like forever before displaying the thumbnails. Loading times are atrocious across the board, pretty much.

I used to get those hanging moments when loading my garage occasionally, but it seems far more constant since the expansion update. It also frequently hangs when presenting me with the car selection screen for an event. And I'm also noticing more lagginess when loading the thumbnails for each car

I've thankfully been spared the full-on game crashes that some people have been reporting on the official forums (so far), but the game definitely seems to have been made unstable by the Fortune Island update.

Presumably the issues JR98 and CVPI93 are reporting above, are also related to all of this, though I've been perusing the official forum the last little while, and can't find anyone else reporting their specific weird issue.

[LongbowX]

Well, now my Ranking in the Team Adventures is really borked. It now says after 1 Adventure that I've been put down to Rank 20. From Rank 11(or 10).

Well, even more reason to not play 'em.

On the plus side, I actually managed to nab an Austin Taxi from the Auction house!

Mistakes were made. List has been updated.

 

[Mazyata]

Count me in for the game crashing quite often after the update. Actually it does crash before but this is worse. Something I didn't mentioned here because I thought it was on my end until visiting the official forums a bunch of people also have problems. I get nervous when switching out cars and playing during Forzathon. It's like please don't crash please don't crash. So far I can't complete about 4 or 5 events in a row now. Just cruising around doesn't crash but does stutter a bit here and there. The sound getting stalled still there and the same. Same crap like the garage loading and sometimes going to a different screen takes some time. I like Forzathon so for me the game hasn't been played much. Also having it to instant on I sometimes still have to relaunch the game. Before was less often.

It looks like the devs have acknowledged the stability issues being caused by the expansion specifically at least, so hopefully a fix will be incoming soon. I've had no crashes, but the lagginess of menus and stuff starts to grate on your nerves after a while.

Also, pretty sure you and I were in a random Forzathon Live a few days ago on the island.

It better be out before the new year, because if this instability is going to persist over the Christmas holidays...then you're going to have a lot of angry customers.

 

[Mazyata]

Yeah I see new threads pop up on the Forza forums. I don't know why but as of late this has been a headache. I'll put it this way, when getting the new updates and island in the first few days was better compared to as of right now. At least a bit more than half of the events I finished it.

Last few completed events went had quite a few cars participating. Then round two less than half. Then round three like three including me which we failed, how sad =P. Another issue waiting to race or take on the event. So you drive around and wait for it to start. Then the game crashes. Then it happens a bit more times. But you still hope that it works but it still doesn't. What a fool. How about when the game crashes you back to the dashboard then you hurry up if you can make it before Forzathon starts. By the way, it is the same for the island and mainland.

ShakesMcQueen, that is me. I could have sworn your name looks familiar but wasn't sure it was you.

 

[RazorSharkz]

I wish Drift Club 2.0 counted towards original Drift Club. I'd really like that Mustang without having to try and find one for Auction.

Several advice on Drift Club (original).

1: Drift points can also be obtained outside the corner. By using a technique called "Manji", you can always get more points by sliding the car left and right.



2: This is common to other Horizon stories, you do not need to run the route according to the map.
Once you have the necessary points for 3 stars, you can shortcut all the routes.

I know this stuff, I am just really bad at it. I have most of Drift Club 2 starred but on top of me not being very good, I also don't find it fun so grinding it isn't what I want to do either.

It's due out today (Dec 21st), the change notes are already live on the Forza support site.
