Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[Moglet]

Yeah, I don't think many of us have any respect for the users on the "Land of Angry Teenagers." I got enough wheelspins through normal gameplay I don't see a need to spend FP on them, granted I bought a few last night with extra points, but I probably won't this time around.

Since when has reddit been "the land of angry teenagers"? I've spoken to loads of people on reddit from all walks of life, very few of them were teenagers.

I never spent any of my FP on wheelspins. I’ve been saving them instead so that I can buy any new cars in the Forzathon shop immediately when it changes every week.

Fortunately, I already own a Peugeot 205 FE, so I only need to buy the Ferrari 812.

It's been referred to as that in many places for quite a while now.

I'm at work right now so I can't check; how much is the Peugeot? I don't have that yet.

I would assume 300, just like the Bentley was last week.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Yep, it costs 300.

 

[Moglet]

Well at least that takes the edge off the new price of the Wheelspins somewhat, I've been after that car for a few days now

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Okay, I'm now stumped. I did the gauntlet race again and it still is listed as "available" instead of "complete". When I did the titan race, it's still listed as "complete". So, how the frick do I complete the event?

 

[Populuxe]

Buying cars today in the shop is exactly why I didn't spend any of my FP on wheelspins. Kind of surprised by the empty tile space in the store. No quick phrase or horn or emote to buy?

Is that a seasonal race? If it is, look at the bottom of the screen. It should say press Y to return to normal event. They you can race it and it will finally show complete.

Well I like Forzthon Live and in more than a few times there where 4 players only.. so I helped them too. It turns out I was in more than 50 Forzathons last week. With the VIP house that is more than 3000 points. I bought the Bentley and 4 Porches (which I will auction in a week or two for minimum buyout). The rest I've spent on one Superwheel and on ordinary ones. I really don't want to have 9999 points just sitting there.

@RandomCarGuy17 did you won those races? You need to win them in order to show as complete.

 

[torque99]

I really like the latest Bodykits in FH4 (mostly LBWorks) on the RS6 it makes it look a beast 👍

Spoiler: Bodykits

So I was doing some races today and came across a "NULL CAR". It appears to be the Ford Falcon that was cut from the game.

That’s their placeholder car for missing content since FH3. In FM1-4 it was a VW Bora, in FH1 and possibly 2 it was an E92 M3.

Basically that car appears where it couldn’t load another car for whatever reason in order to prevent a crash.

 

[Stang616]

It also appears to be floating...

No, it was a regular race.

Yes, I won the race.

EDIT: Popluxe Cowboy's idea on season events has possibly lead me to an idea though. The titan race is completed, but I don't have any custom events made for it. It's possible that I have to do the default race for these big races to count as complete. If that's the case, then I think it's stupid, but that's what it is.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

So...silly question, but is it possible to force the game to glitch out where you can buy a Null Car? I've seen some folks on YouTube start out FH4 with a Null Car.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Okay, I just won gauntlet for the THIRD time and now it's complete. This confirms my hypothesis, Playground Games is only allowing it to count if you beat the default race they give you. Yeah, I'm marking that as a sin against this game.

 

[Chebble]

Does anyone know what level you unlock the Aventador SV? I know you can get it through wheelspins but I’m not lucky enough! There’s are none in the AH either.

So I bought the Ultimate Edition on the Windows Store. Accidentally bought it on my sons account rather than my own. No biggie, because the games progress is stored under your Xbox Live account and that can be a different one from the Store account. So you can play the same game with different XBL accounts. So far so good. But much to my surprise it's much better: both of us can play the game on two different machines at the same time.

So my setup is as follows:

Me on laptop, Windows Store is logged in under account A, Xbox Live account B.
He on pc, Windows Store is logged in under account A, Xbox Live account A.

Why does this work? Is it because we're both in the same family in the Windows Store, so it doesn't care the game is started twice, but with different XBL accounts?

 

[randys]

My wheel wont turn the car unless I turn it 100 degrees, where do I change force feedback within the game? I found the spot where axis and all that is, and i made major changes there to see if it made a difference, none.

Are any of you using Logitech G27 with cronus max drive hub and this game, if so is your wheel working properly, mine wont.

 

[CSLACR]

Regular wheelspins now cost 40 FP instead of 10.

Glad I bought 14 last night then.

Afraid I don’t know the answer to your question but can I ask are you both showing up as VIP?

 

[strela]

It's a Ranked Team Adventure reward. You can try... good luck with that. But if you are patient enough you can make it to rank 5. I just saw a 2018 Cayenne (also a RTA reward) on AH but it was priced 20 mil.. of course Legendary Painter.
But if you are interesting in a Lancia Delta(same RTA reward), well you can find them for 33k on the AH.

Fear not - I can confirm the 2018 Cayenne is available as a (Super) Wheelspin prize, since that is how I obtained one. Perhaps the others can be acquired the same way too.

 

[strela]

How to get the Maseratti MC12 Forza Edition? You just need 6 mil..

 

[NLxAROSA]

Afraid I don’t know the answer to your question but can I ask are you both showing up as VIP?

Yes. See picture below.

We’re in the same convoy here, both VIP, only one game copy bought. One store account, two devices, two XBL accounts.

Not complaining of course, just wonderIng why this is. I’m assuming it has to do with the family thing you can setup.

EDIT: I think this article describes why. MS sharing policy is pretty awesome if this is true.

 

[LongbowX]

I'm finding the response from the cars is really lazy for me on my One S. Having never used an Xbox controller before, it's proving tough to adapt to it (the fact I can't change the button mapping to what I want on the Xbox isn't helping). Does anyone have any tips? How do you set up your buttons (especially for shifting, E-brake).

When I play on my barely acceptable computer (even though I'm only running 1080/30), the responsiveness seems a bit better, and even though I'm using an adapted PS3 controller the braking response especially seems much easier to modulate.

I'm having it rough playing online with people who've played previous Forza entries, and of course I can't expect to be that quick when I've never played with these physics before. But I'm finding it hard to even be reasonable, especially on the One S. So, any help people can provide me with I'd appreciate.

 

[Stang616]

Yes. See picture below.

It's like that because of Game sharing, as you discovered. It works that way with any digital game and DLC.

Word on the official forums is that the Devs are aware of the sound issues and are working on fixing them.

Did the devs mean the engine sounds themselves or the "sound issues" as in all the issues with the sound playback lagging, cutting out, and distorting?

Level 5?!? Thanks for the answer.

I’ve played through a couple of ranked adventures... you’re right, it will definitely require some patience! Spent half my time trying to stay on the track as half of the grid (my team included) were more interested in ramming me. It’s just stupid.

Ah well, I’ll have to hope for a spin!
