Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[turk1993]

Man what the hell is going on with PG, why the hell do i need to download the full game again. 103gb for a stupid update that was supposed to be 5gb, what are they doing whit this game. Its the most buggy and glitched Forza game ever.

The One got only 1.25GB. Last gen consoles are the most reliable, as always.

And I think it was 2 GB on XSX.

You guys are lucky, every update i need to redownload the whole game.

 

[Apple Slipper]

I doubt that this information is true, as there is no valid evidence in the game files.

I doubt this would be included, but @TheAdmiester can clarify, as he has access to the files. I think that video is clickbait.

Fake. Nothing remotely similar to those cars in the files, and random untextured models in a 3D environment are easy to hoax.

I'm not sure whether it's changed with the recent update but the bicycle smashing event came with a countdown total this week.

I ended up only using the Megane R26.R to do the Home Street Home championship. Wish I'd used it for more events since it seems to be a road gobbler.

Thank you for clarifying!

Hi

I do try to give credit where it's due, it's only recently (within the past couple months) I realised this forum is where quite a lot of the leaks are from.
In the past I've got most of my info from other YT videos, reddit, and DM's i receive, which often never really mentioned the original source as this forum.

I completely agree my videos are slightly clickbaity, however my titles are true and as @Apple Slipper said, I'm simply just trying to get all the info out there, to my audience especially with the current state of FH5, quite a lot of players need some hope for some big upcoming updates & cars etc. Leak videos are always good for that.

I will continue to give credit, and I'll always appreciate everything @TheAdmiester, @Kelpy D & all of you find in the files.

Always happy to take constructive criticism if any of think I should be doing anything differently.

Hey, good on you to take time and actually reply. I guess I was put off by seeing actual screen grabs from here on one of your more recent videos, not knowing what your general public is like I had a certain reticence that it might attract the wrong kind of people (like the official FM forums and the subreddit being filled with toxic complainers) to our small-ish community of people discussing other games than Gran Turismo on a Gran Turismo oriented forum, if that makes sense. I owe you an apology for putting you on blast, you're not doing anything wrong at the end of the day, and you actually do include your sources, which is something a lot of people on youtube (and other gaming sites, as @Famine and his countlessly copied word for word articles, complete with voluntary typos, by subpar outlets will tell you) don't do.

 

[Apple Slipper]

I'm still astounded that so many Forza fans are still not aware that the new Nismo car is not part of the World Cup prizes.

Keep doing what you are doing! You are one of my favorite YouTubers when it comes down to information, clues and speculation for upcoming content. Loved your video about what the World Cup would most likely look like (video posted below), it’s now of course irrelevant since series 4 is already active but I think you did a great job on that video back then. Way better content than let’s say Ericship111 who seems rather obsessed with documenting the most bizarre and uncommon bugs and glitches in the game. Like… who cares really.

To be fair, out of all the Youtubers who make clickbait regarding Forza Horizon 5, you are one of the most legitimate Youtubers that delve into the world of Forza Horizon 5, and I honor you for doing that, going as far as watching your videos every single day, even memorizing the entire Forza Horizon 4 leaked list that was posted here over 2 years ago, by watching your video covering said leak. Keep doing what you're doing best at.

Apparently, Porsche is so against you changing the color of the 2012 911 GT3 RS 4.0, that all you need to do is highlight a color and the game crashes.

If you are on PC turn ray tracing off. I think its an issue with the latest Nvidia drivers.

Ever since the Porsche expansion launched for Forza Horizon 2 in summer 2015 this has been my favourite Porsche. Now almost 7 years later this still hasn’t changed. Welcome back my old friend! 🤩

I've decided if I'm going to get a series S|X, then I'm getting the X. The One X is a good halfway point between my One and the Series X until I can find one and have the money for it.

Just an FYI here.
One way to cut down any costs with Xbox is to do MS Rewards every single day. There's the daily quiz on the rewards site that you can do everyday building up points and then on the console itself is the Rewards app where you can do daily tasks. Doesn't take up much time and if you build up a "streak", points come easy. All free.

Considering we all play Forza Horizon and do daily tasks, here is a real daily task that pays out. I normally work up enough points every year to redeem about $100. You can use them on the microsoftstore or Xbox store to cut down costs on consoles, accessories, etc.

On reddit, you can see some saving up points, actually redeeming for a Series consoles, controllers, etc.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but the race rollcage in the new Golf R is a completely different style to the race rollcage in every other car. It has gussets and various reinforcements and looks much more serious.

 

[mwoodski]

Massively annoyed that the aero parts added to the 2021 Golf R weren't also added to the 2014 car, ESPECIALLY when both kits "supplied" were made for the pre-facelift car in general. The R400 kit which is the "VW" branded one is a narrow version of the kit on the Golf R400 concept, one that was done on a pre-facelift car as noted by the headlights.

The other supplied kit, the Varis one actually turns the front AND rear bumpers of the 2021 car into the pre-facelift bumpers before adding their elements. It's bizarre.

They really should have inserted those assets into the 2014 car. Wheel spacing included.

Also, the version of Traffic Purple in game is so far off the actual color.

Anyway, here's the custom blend Traffic Purple, 0.91, 0.60, 0.63 if someone wants to use it, and how it appears in game.

Does the front end still like to lift up through turns? I remember having to dig through folks' tunes to try & address that on Fm7.

It bizarrely only did that in FM games. It's perfectly normal in FH3-5

I think the reason they don’t go through the trouble of that is because the first Mk7 Golf (2014) will be dropped after FH5. Turn 10 / PG rarely keep multiple versions of the same generation of such cars in game. There are a few exceptions but that’s the rule in general.

 

[strela]

I know it's nothing special. I didn't care until yesterday when finally managed to complete the Stay Frosty Accolade.

I was genuinely happy when it showed as completed even though I really didn't care anymore. Such a little, useless thing yet so important. I'm almost proud.
Anyway if some have the same problem I completed it in Freeroam. The sky was completely grey and you could see the snow on the screen, similar to the droplets during rain.

Give me the ability to put the earlier bumpers and lights on the later car then!! Well, not the earlier taillights because those look horrible. It just irks me seeing pre-facelift bumpers with the post facelift lights.

Those US-spec facelift taillights look horrible, too.

MILES better than the ones represented on the 2014 though.

Has anyone else noticed that when event timers are counting down on the Festival Playlist screen, every time with n6, n7, 09 and 59 seconds is in italics, but every other time is not?

View attachment 1115225

I definitely prefer the EU-spec cars over the North American-spec cars because the US-spec cars had to deal with outdated lighting regulations. The North American-spec Mk8 Golf R also doesn't have the IQ.Light lighting technology that the EU-spec has.

Also, I always dislike the amber bumper markers on North American-spec cars, as it ruins the overall design of the cars. I don't mind it on American cars, but the bumper markers look tacky on European and Japanese cars. I know Forza does get some of the North American-spec cars, but I prefer the EU-spec versions.

 

[Populuxe]

I'm out of luck. Not enough money for an XBox. I'm going to miss out on this week's Playlist. I'm not so concerned about the cars because they'll be available in the Auction House. It's the shirt in the Forzathon Shop. I like that shirt. I want that shirt for my avatar. And the way PG are with items like this, this might be the only time it's ever available.
