Well, all I can say is with this file leaked publicly, don’t expect it to contain upcoming cars anymore.

As predicted they've made changes to the encrypted files, cracking down further because of stuff like this.

 

[WanganDream]

14.66GB update on Xbox One...wow...

That's a shame, it was interesting to have the insight into what was in production but it sounds like that door is now firmly shut. I guess you're right that it was inevitable once it was made obvious where these details were coming from.

(I mean the SE-R is a cool car dont get me wrong, Just surprised it's widely enough known and liked to be at the top of the list)

Edit - Doing some further reading It seems the car (Or atleast the base version Tsuru) has some connections to Mexico. More understandable now I guess.

 

[Nacho Libre]

It is known due to the Sunny/Sentra base model that became known as Tsuru and displaced the VW Sedan as the darling of Mexican drivers (taxi drivers, in particular). The SE-R was briefly sold in Mexico in 1993 as the Tsuru GSR 2000.

 

[RYAN]

Its like a Vauxhall Cavalier and Mitsubishi Galant had a baby.

Sigala Designs widebody available for the E-Ray.

 

[TGR55]

The BMW i4 also have a Forza Widebody.

Event labs island codename referred on the file as Pandora.
Forza Motorsport referred as Steelhead
Donut media related content codenamed Saber

 

[TheAdmiester]

Sigala Designs widebody available for the E-Ray.

Was wondering what this was when I checked it out, as I was missing the logo for it so didn't know what it was. There's also a fairly big spoiler that I presume belongs to that brand too.

There are some solutions in this thread.
However, some solutions will require you to reinstall the game, which will require several hours of downloading...

• Blocks out gamertag
• Watermarks stats with their name

Ok.

Ok.

Well, PGG/MS can't ban you for using time traveling or other trickery to access still-locked cars if they don't know your gamertag, do they?

(Then again, they can auto-ban you if they detect those cars in your garage... )

 

[Famine]

Anyone else getting a backup season/series Playlist right now?

Ok.

Well, no one has ever said these hackers were smart....

I waited a long time for this car. From the beginning I preferred the rear and lights of the M3 more than M4.

 

[Edax 76]

I play on Series X and since the update earlier this week the game has become so slow whilst going through the various menus. Is anyone suffering this. It can upwards of 2 minutes to perform commands.

Mine won't even launch on PC. Just crashes trying to launch from the app with the 0x0 error like others have been reporting.

Here's hoping for a quick hotfix to be pushed out then.🤞

New BMW is not working for Promo Horizon.... I Take a few pictures and nothing

 

[RolexGTP]

Im noticing some issues too with how long it takes to load some areas of the game, the AI being extremely fast even on highly skilled, and rewind not functioning properly

 

[AudiMan2011]

Moving the game to my D:XboxGames folder via the advanced management through the app looks to have got it working again.

 

[VXR]

Unusually for me, I've got the playlist car already. Honestly, without that grille, it's a generationally good-looking sports saloon. Way more visual interest than the pudgy M4. I've got mine in IoM Green with silver and copper finished Vorsteiner rims from the update. I'd have loved to not fit the rear diffuser, but it annoyed me that the standard part was in gloss, whilst the M-Performance front and sides were in matte effect. So now I have the overblown exhaust...

I did AWD swap it, but it just felt boring and it messes with the gearing so that it tops out at 137mph.

 

[The_Greaser]

No one ever said the BMW had a ugly grille at least until the M3 and M4 came along with it, but I am burying the lede with this. Got mine now.

Also one of the EventLabs reminds me of the Riddler's Batmobile challenges in Arkham Knight. Here's why:

Does anyone remember them?
