Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Populuxe]

Nice to have this little fella back ☺️

I'm glad that car is back. I made a Circuit Build of it for C Class, and let me tell you it is freakin' fun!

I love it. The wood framing can't be painted or covered with vinyls, so I decided to lean into it by painting the car in each of the three woodtone colors in the special colors tab. Everything green you see is vinyls. It makes the car look like the entire rear section is wood, giving it a much more classic "woody" look.

Ahh wow it looks gorgeous with that wood combo! I'd definitely go for the third one for sure!

 

[TokoTurismo]

Sorry for double post haha.

I think I saved exactly one photo from Christmas 2021.

If they bring back the tree I'll bring back the rotary.

Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry I missed your post, GTP oddly didn't notify me for some reason. Awesome pic btw! And I also agree to bring back the rotary once the season drops, because I sadly never completed.

So, if we get this icon appearing in the Coming Soon tab of the Festival Playlist, we'll potentially get at least one New to Forza car?

Yeah, maybe. However they also call that #100 Lynk & Co a 'new to forza car' so...

 

[ClydeYellow]

Yeah, maybe. However they also call that #100 Lynk & Co a 'new to forza car' so...

But it is a new to Forza car.

 

[Stang616]

Yeah, maybe. However they also call that #100 Lynk & Co a 'new to forza car' so...

Because it is new to Forza.

 

[The_Greaser]

But they're recycling old cars. How is this okay? It's not!

Again, how is the #100 Lynk & Co recycled when is a NEW to Forza vehicle that is essentially a full on racecar?

 

[Turboteg90]

It even has a different wide body on it 🙄

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

I don't get it. Does this series of woodies has anything to do with Donut Media theme? I mean, If we are doing this recycle thing, at least bring back some highly requested ones maybe? Ferrari California, SLR McLaren, SL65 Black, Honda Odyssey, Kia Stinger to name a few.

Some old models need remodelling also. S15 Silvia, 22B, R32 GTR, Porche 959...

And those omitted active aeros. LaFerrari used to have lower rear flap animations back in Horizon 3... FXXK evo no animation, Evija lack of animation (comapred to the model in GRID Legends), SF90...

 

[RageRacer]

But they're recycling old cars. How is this okay? It's not!

It's their decision to recycle cars, not yours. Sure, the woodies may not be appealing to most people, but for me, they have their own charm. I'm happy to see that Ford Deluxe Station Wagon coming back (now bring back the HSV GTS-R and the Commodore VL Group A).

Since you dislike recycling cars, would you also say the same for the Koenigsegg Agera, Aston Martin One-77, Eagle Speedster and the Ferrari 599XX?

No, these woodies are about as far from Donut Media cars and their audience as they could have gone.

I'm finding the current season so dismal, with many bugs that STILL have not been fixed, such as the flickering cargo train, the missing headlights in the car selection tabs (they look like some low-life stole them!), and the loss of progression in a championship if the quick resume glitches... that I've decided to finally go and try The Crew 2! I'll tell you later what I think of that.

 

[Edax 76]

I've just found Paul Daniels and Debbie Magee's Mexican holiday home.

Magical floating plant pots.......you'll like it, but not a lot.

 

[Nacho Libre]

Sorry about that. It seems some of the antigrav particles used for the Hot Wheels island were misappropriated and put to other uses.

that explains the constant low-frequency humming noise

Another week, another annoying bunch of unskippable dialogue. I heard those guys start yapping and noped right out.

Is this all month? Ugh.

There's a handy dialogue volume slider. I recommend setting it to 0.

Yeah but then I’m just watching them yap silently. 😐

 

[AutumnalGlow]

It isn't perfect, but it sure beats listening to them.

The combination of this and another "get 20 drifts in Open" challenge last week means no 100% completion for me this month. I'm just going to get the new cars and that's it.

 

[Populuxe]

Yeah, I’m not getting 1,000,000 points on that mountain drift zone. I tried for two hours. I just don’t have the talent for it. No 100% for me this week.

 

[Animedeaf]

Same here.

 

[Edax 76]

And I'm in for the Hat-Trick, drifting just isn't my thing. I'll keep trying but I'm not hopeful.

 

[Populuxe]

I tried colors on the the Mini Traveller I thought would be more complementary to the three different wood grains.

Got lucky with an old hard drive coming back to life today. Had saved two snippets of what happens when your CPU (or RAM, can't remember which) can't keep up with the game:

 

[Apple Slipper]

I actually finally got the 1,000,000 drift score using a drift tune on the 1932 Ford V8 De Luxe Five-Window Coupe! Took me about 2 hours to figure that one out! 😵

Congratulations mate 👍

 

[Apple Slipper]

Congratulations mate 👍

Thank you! 😊 That challenge was a doozy... Toughest one yet so far in FH5.

About this latest update, if I may ask: has anyone had trouble starting the game, or starting the game under specific circumstances?

I can't seem to be able to start the game without an internet connection, even if I have Steam's offline mode enabled, which kind of defeats its purpose. Whenever I click on "Play" the game will show as "Running", and there's a process in Task Manager, but nothing happens, it just hangs there, no splash screen or anything. I've tried updating Windows, updating Steam, reinstalling the game, running as administrator, turning off my antivirus to see if it affected it, nothing worked.

Did anyone else experience this, or am I just unlucky?
