Oh god this game was so hard to put down, I only did it when going to have dinner and later my ice cream. I loved every bit of it so far, except for the connection issues. I've downloaded most of my paint schemes from FM7, so I can continue my livery creation.

The showcase events have been a blast, I loved being able to race against a hovercraft, but I sucked so much at this event. I kept hitting walls. :/
Like in FH3, the dirt trail races are still quite fun; especially with the new rally cars I get to drive. The Koenigsegg Agera RS is quite a handful, it got me a lot of style points though.

Before signing off, I was on the 3rd barn find and it's stumped me. Noone tell me where it is, I still want to find it myself.

If you mean the one in
Ambleside
, yeah, that was pretty tough. It didn't help that I was trying to find it at night.
 
I just turned the radio off.

Yeah, and I turned the radio off as well, but I also turned the music down so that I can listen to my own music uninterrupted, and that's what I mean, you can't disable music completely, you can only make it go down to 1, and you still hear it in loading screens and race over screens.
 
Before the first event in the Autumn season, I went to switch my car (I was gifted a few cars and the car selection menu wouldn't let me go up or down) to the Mustang. I quickly realized this was a rally and was unable to change my car. It proved to be a rather interesting race.

Ah yeah,ok well I can suggest,subtitles,and earphones then? or do you still want the engine sounds.
 
I dunno, people complained about the fact you could do emotes and dances during beauty spots, but I think there's nothing more hilarious then doing the Carlton when you're looking out at the lake in Derwent Water.

Wait I can what now? :dopey:

(Also, since I'm not picking this up until I SWEAR FOR REALSIES I'M REPLACING MY LAPTOP, is the Carlton dance unlocked from the beginning?)
 
I've been playing for six hours. The only issue I've had on my OG XBox is about three times now, the engine sound gets stuck at a certain point and stays there until you force the issue by starting a race or entering a house or the festival. Otherwise, absolutely brilliant. Driving a Triumph TR3 through the Scottish highlands on a sunny winter day while Holst's Jupiter is playing on Timeless radio is just sublime. Can I move here? Not the real Scotland, this Scotland. Please?
I was having the same engine sound issues yesterday as well, but I turned the radio off and it seems to improve the situation.
 
I've admittedly binged this game for about 14 hours today (not all in one setting of course) and I have had absolutely zero issues with this game so far on PC. No crashes and no memory leak stuttering I still experience in Forza Motorsport 7 to this day. I'm quite shocked.
 
One crash so far, and it's one I should have seen coming, as it was present in FH3 as well.

Ran into the barn find location (I think number #3) too fast and through sheer luck hit the loading zone at like 150mph, which crashed the game after the cutscene started playing. Other than that, I'm enjoying it.
 
New visual upgrade parts. (Not "Upgrade Heroes" list)
- 1974 AMC Hornet X Hatchback: blower hood
- 2003 BMW Z3M Coupe: OEM Package
- 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Super Sport: Goodyear Yellow Tire letter (vintage racing tire)
- 1993 Nissan Skyline GT-R: Nismo rear spoiler (New)
- 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V Spec: JUN Bodykit (rear bumper and side skirt *return)
 
Lets hope the patch comes soon:)

The peoples that have read other posts in different racegame topics sometimes 'acuse' me of being too optimistic. My glass is often 3/4 full.
In this case my glass is - almost- empty....

This is the most expensive game I ever bought and the first one that is not working right after the start. I have a CSL Elite and it does not work so the game is unplayable at the moment.

Enjoy to all of you who can already play the game! I'll have to wait patiently

Hopefully I can edit this post very soonish with a message that the first fix solved also this very small but very annoying wheel issue.
 
I have spend three hours with the game yesterday, and i had a great time. Im playing on the X and i prefer the performance mode. Yes, image quality takes a hit in 1080p, but i have to get closer to the TV to really notice it. That being said, the game looks great in 1080p and 60 fps makes a huge difference here.

I also noticed some of the smaller changes. Having real players instead of drivatars out in the open is fantastic because actually, they cause less trouble then the mindless drivatars which always pop out of nowhere.

What i really dislike are the stupid comedy clothes and Fortnite dance emotes that show up all the time in prize wheels. Is the Horizon festival some kind of circus?
 
I don't mind the clothing though most items I've unlocked so far look a lot better on the female characters, but I have to agree the emotes are fairly useless/stupid.

I quite like them, I'm on my 4th beauty spot and I still giggle each time I see my character dabbing in the shot somewhere next to these amazing historical locations :lol:
 
So you dont mind this game is about some rich kids wearing clown and chicken costumes while driving their Bugattis and Ferraris, then doing a Fortnite dance competition?

I have bind the handbrake to my clutch pedal now. That works LOL :) Maybe it works on your wheel too.
 
I wonder if they improved the overall car sounds in Horizon 4. Horizon 3 has decent car sounds but then Motorsport 7 completely ruined eeverything (V12 for example sounds horrible in that game).
 
Ferrari now has a nice sounding V12 sample, Lambo is back to the FH3 sound, most of the others are just as bad as FM7.

*cries in Zonda R*
 
Got to level 22 now I’m in the regular game with Forzathon unlocked etc. Also finally got the Peel P50 for my 3rd barn find.

What a shame. I'm going to watch some car sounds videos once people upload them on youtube, if many cars still sound bad then I'm skipping this one. Horrendous car sounds of most cars in FM7 were the number 1 reason I stopped playing.

Can we put barn finds in spoiler tags please? Most of us want to be surprised by what the cars are.

It's just a bit of fun, I quite enjoy the character customisation and the silly dance moves. They're entirely optional too, although I do understand that it must be frustrating to get items for customising your character in wheelspins if you don't care about that stuff.
