Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[Techlet]

Okay, how is a human player supposed to three-star the seventh Stunt Driver Mission? I can't even get within two seconds of the three-star time!

Is that the Dodge Demon one? If so, don't take any of the jumps. The checkpoints don't actually matter.

Remind me, what is the challenge? I have finished all with three stars.

Edit: tree'd. Damn you, Saudi internet!

Why did they change the shifting in auto mode, it was good in FH3. It almost never downshifts above 4k rpm and always shifts to fast in the higher gear. cars with 9k rpm havin trouble with acceralation because they are still stuck in 6th gear doing 150km/h. I can't play with auto shifting right now because of it . Well need to go back to manual shifting then .

It's annoying me too. We need a downshift override button.
At times I let go of the throttle for a couple of seconds, and it still won't downshift.

Is that the one where you drive through the tunnel? I tried that one like two dozen times, and couldn't get within a few seconds of the 3-star time.

Yeah, it's just a matter of memorizing where to dodge, dip, dive, duck, and dodge. In your Dodge.

Yup. The trick to these "get from A to B in such and such time" ones is to just ignore what the game tells you to do because the checkpoint markers are just fluff.

Good to know. That'll actually help, thanks!

Does anyone know of ways to get videos or screenshots straight from the Xbox? I’d typically use xboxdvr.com but none of my Horizon 4 footage is saving.

FH4 hasn’t been added to any of those A xboxdvr sites yet for some reason, even though the demo has for ages

For screenshots you can save them to Forzamotorsport.net (and they end up being much higher quality) or you can go into your xbox captures and manually upload everything to Onedrive

Stunt driver challenge 8. How in the heck am I supposed to get a Mini on top of a crate in 22 seconds? As soon as it hits the water it slows to a crawl.

I just used rewinds it was easy.

Basically just go ape ****.
Or, rewind.

I just found a cool little detail: When a Skill Song plays, your Avatar starts dancing.

Assuming you have a Windows 10 PC:

• Take your screenshots on console.
• Wait for them to get uploaded to Xbox Live.
• On Windows, open the Xbox app.
• Locate your files within Game DVR and download them.

I think I'll just wait until Summer, that way it isn't like driving through a small swimming pool.

Is that a guess, or do you know that it actually changes? I think that's really just part of the challenge.

I only found this out the other week, just get a usb memory stick, plug it in to the xbox one, then you can save screenshots and videos directly to that, no messing about with silly websites etc... you just have to go into settings for captures and broadcasts and choose that stick as where to save them.. bingo..👍 Ive been doing it ever since, superb..

Wow I never even knew that was a thing. It's about damn time.

I did it in Fall, and it was pretty wet, I wouldn't be sure it will dry out.

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

PJ, do you intend on doing a map of England like the map of Australia you made for FH3? I was just looking at that map again today and I'm still in awe at how well that came out.

Something like this?

[randys]

I look at the map and everything is done other than James Bond cars I have to pay for. How can that be, I only race an hour a day, what am I doing wrong?

When I ask Anna for a race is she supposed to only bring me to races I have not yet won?

Everything on the map says completed.



Still dont know how I have completed all races.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Well I'm glad they fixed the blurred edges on the focused car in Photomode, but they couldn't implement a toggle button to turn off the lights as well? Oh well, one step at a time.

Also, for those curious as to why your photos don't upload at 4K directly to the Forzamotorsport.net website - It's not a bug, apparently it's just not supported with this game. That's at least according to the person that posted those patch notes, Nitro Glitter.

 

[CSLACR]

That's a lot of steps, and a pretty impressive list if it all comes true.

 

[TheAdmiester]

I'm curious as to what the engine audio improvements are. Will be interesting to see when the patch is out.

That would be cool if it did change. I had to use rewind just to complete the chapter at all! Slowing to a crawl in the water was necessary just to keep the car going in a sort of straight line. I'm not overly concerned with it, but I don't know how you get 3 stars on this one.

I literally did it within the nick of time. I didn't get to see the counter before it went off but I really don't think I had literally any time to spare on that one.

"Increased quality of grass and tree procedurals at distance when Procedural Quality setting is set to Extreme."

So medium, high and ultra are not going to change tree and grass lods They surely can't just leave those and only change the extreme settings

There's no real trick to this one other than go like hell and not let off the throttle in the water.
