Ouch bud. This is very poor on the developers part. These could have and should have been pushed out earlier. Waiting until the minute your much hyped DLC goes live to force players into updates is just bloody stupid.

Agree absolutely. I don't know why this update couldn't have been pushed last weekend; been unable to play Forza or much of anything due to the current weather conditions making it hard to concentrate. Oh well. I will play soon enough.
On that note, I wish everyone currently enduring this heat wave to please stay hydrated and careful.

I'm seeing worrying reports of constant crashing on the showcase and expedition. Not sure whether it's both console and pc or just pc.

So... a 12 GB download to trigger an additional 11.6 GB? My Series S: Boss, it's getting tight here....

I think one is for Series 10 with Extreme E and the other is the expansion.

Only got to play for an hour before work but my goodness, money well spent already. I hope the Goliaths are doable in lower class cars unlike in FH3

Yup.
Nope. Outside of boost pads and aero track they top out just over 200mph. They can be rinsed at any Speed Track by just about anything else.

It really is a pig, especially in the lower gears with the default ratios. I shortened first through fourth and it woke up a fair bit.
I'm genuinely impressed so far. Just wish it wasn't quite so easy to bonk the walls and scrub speed and/or kill your skill chain. Oh, and some actual Hot Wheels wheel designs would have been cool.

In the end, I couldn't overcome my sleepiness.
So this morning I downloaded the expansion and updated the main game, and just now played through to unlocking the S1 class.
My current impression is that this is a very well done DLC.
The class based progression system is fine except that this affects free roam.
All DLC cars are locked. But by completing challenges they are added to autoshow. they finally got the "right" unlock system back since FM2.
I was negative about the floating map in the sky, but when I actually play it, this landscape is not bad. Each biome has a lot of character and I never get tired of seeing it.
And the HW style roads...I hated the plastic roads in FH3, they were so slippery even in AWD, and in RWD...needless to say.
But this time the plastic roads have enough grip. Of course it seems slightly lower than tarmac, but no complaints.
I didn't like FH5 much. Lots of bugs, live service that is all about "user engagement" numbers rather than user delight. It was more frustrating than enjoyable. But I find this DLC to be one of the most enjoyable expansions in this game, or any recent Horizon series.
Playground Games, you guys did a great job!
Note: It seems they have added a new bug to the game in an update.
If your machine collection notification is at 9+ you might want to take a look at your collection menu.
All the manufacturer complete bonuses are available again.

Does anyone have a bug where you can't access the expansion whatsoever (PC)? I bought premium edition. Everytime i tried to go to the location, it prompt me with the promo video, showed that its been purchased but it kept redirecting to MS store. I've also downloaded the HW expansion files.

I have encountered this bug, but I don't know how to make sure it happens.
For reference, looking back at the situation at the time, the correct car collections were showing up to Class B in HW expansion.
I believe it was Class A where all of a sudden the notifications went to 9+ and all collection rewards were available.
If there is any action that could have triggered this bug, would it be to have finished all Horizon Story at Class B and unlocked the Ford Dually and HW Mustang immediately after the start of Class A.

it took 15h to download everything and now I can finally try the expansion. 😅
The map is gorgeous and I like the orange tracks too. Sometimes I get the feeling I'm piloting a jet rather than driving a car. Specially on those magnet sections. It's fun. A lot of fun.
I like the progression but would be fine if the free roam wasn't restricted too. Not big of a deal. I will properly explore it later.
It's a good DLC so far imo.... And now I regret skipping the FH3 HW expansion. I would probably like that too....

I played up to the point of unlocking the Deora and Class A yesterday but nothing more, and the car collection has reset for me today. I don't think it was broken immediately after the update, so you might be onto something.

A friend of mine just had a similar bug and I deduced the conditions from it.
Perhaps restarting the game may have something to do with it.
As I recall from what happened to my friend, when I tried to check the body kit after getting Deora 2, the game crashed, and then restarting the game reset the rewards.
My friend also had to restart the game because it froze, and it seems that the rewards were reset.

I got the car collection bug as soon as I started the game in HW. Way before reaching the first qualifier.
Edit: And now I have 2 911 FE, 2 La Ferrari and all the others! 🤩
And for some reason also all the badges are unlocked too. I can put a lv 1000 badge despite being lv 800.

I finished Goliath. The Reasr Tachyon was my weapon of choice. (I mean, it looks like a Hot Wheels car already.) I finished with a time of 5:02. On a related note, for the foreseeable future, I’m pretty sure every car I own will be painted in Hot Wheels metal flake paint and fitted with red stripe tires.

I'm not sure if these files have been already in the files of FH5 previously or if they were added in an update.
Aside of the already found SEAT Leon Cupra '03 and '10 badges textures, there are several files of the interior of the Leon '03 that I found on FH5's files.
The most relevant one being it's gauges (sea_gauges_001_diff), however there are many miscellaneous interior textures found too. AO wheel map of the Leon '03 is also there, curiously the already leaked Leon '10 has no interior files aside of it's badges and AO wheel map.
Someone that has checked the FH5 files before needs to confirm if these files were already in FH5 or if they were added in an update, because nobody has covered them yet, plus I don't recall in the past seeing interior textures of the '03 Leon in the files aside of seeing all the badges textures.

Currently ingame and trying out the new Hot Wheels DLC. My first thought upon seeing the progression system: FINALLY! SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE! Right down to locking you out of your cars for the PI classes you haven't unlocked yet!
This sort of thing is what the base game needed! It's the exact boatload of fun I was looking for.
