Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[Northstar]

Tagging @SlipZtrEm since I forgot to in both my previous posts. This might be worth a writeup since it's a "new" car.

Nice to see the Porsche finally attainable,

Now what will everyone complain about? Hopefully the Valiant Charger (why must you tease me T10?).

Good news. The Valiant Charger is coming in the next series of Forzathon's. Provided the work correctly.

 

[Populuxe]

The return of the MGA makes me very happy. The fact that the Valiant Charger is coming makes me even happier.

Finally.

Where's the patch notes?

Well, I think I'm done trying other games for now and have now gotten back into FM7 for some more car test drives. I've tried all of the new dlc pack cars aside from the Dodge Durango. I really like how the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 and Audi TT Race Car drive. The Kia Stinger was also fun to tear around on Lime Rock Park. It's great to see another regular car added to Forza for once. I've also recently gotten back to trying other cars in the game that I put off trying for a while; the Infiniti G35 Coupe, Bentley Continental Super Sports (driven it in FH3, but I wanted to try it on a racing circuit), and gotten some millage out of the Mitsubishi Starion. I also intend on trying out the Ferrari 599XX in the morning. I just bought it the past night.

It's great to see that Turn 10 is now finally putting up the 991 GT3 RS as a prize car for an event. Jeez, what took so long?
Also, I welcome back the MG! I hope this means more FM4 returns will occur in later updates.

Maybe at some point T10 will put in the '96 Impala SS in Forza 7. That's one car I've been waiting patiently for, for a long time.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I’m still waiting for the Mercedes 6X6.

That's Horizon 4...hopefully.

 

[Northstar]

That's Horizon 4...hopefully.

It will be in the final FM7 pack and than be mysteriously absent from FH4. Don’t worry though it will be in FM8 from day 1.

 

[RazorSharkz]

Oh hell ya, the MG is back. Hopefully we get more FM4 dlc

 

[Northstar]

I’m hoping the Volvo V8SC makes a return. It’s odd that it didn’t make it considering they mention the car in the series description.

@JeepXJFreak and I decided to take a break from the chaos that is the multiplayer hoppers and recreated some classic special missions from Gran Turismo 4

Back on what I said about more FM4 returns; one car I really want to see return is the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302. That was my favorite variant of the 5th gen Mustang and I really enjoyed driving it back in FM4 & GT6.

 

[GroupB]

Fixed

Maybe at some point T10 will put in the '96 Impala Super Sport* in Forza 7. That's one car I've been waiting patiently for, for a long time.

While we're at it, bring back the '68 and '69 GT500s. Let's throw the '65 GT350R in as well.

Welp, the game refuses to work in freeplay for me. Everytime I try, I get to the track loading screen ("Arriving at" wherever I choose) and the game just stays there and loops the little trackside cutscene. It works fine in career mode, even online, but for some reason there's now a bug with freeplay. Checking on the official forums, it appears I'm not the only one experiencing that...

 

[zaxs]

Any info why have they removed FH3 gallery from Forza HUB after Dell pack update here?
Also not receiving cr reward in game...

So, after FH7 update is broken, @PJTierney ?

I don’t know about either of those.

Only new issue I have come across is that Multiplayer sometimes crashes due to loading 24 cars at once.

I used to get that before the patch, as far as I know it seems to be something to do with having a bucket set in your previous race then removing it.

That's plausible, the last race I did before all this happened indeed had two different buckets. How do I fix that, play around with buckets again?

 

[TheAdmiester]

I *think* it's related to a bucket not having enough cars to start (i.e. from having a bucket removed), so try and recreate the bucket as best as you can and see if it works. If not, try adding the bucket, making sure it's set up in a way that will have at least one racer, accepting the options, then removing it.

I can't quite remember what it is that causes it but I know that after I fiddled with the settings for a while it eventually worked.

 

[PiotrGT]

I would rather have all cars obtainable from the start and then free hidden cars like that MG and FE cars given away via Forzathon etc like in FH3. Not a fan of locking cars we could normally buy in previous game.

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Hey, quick question. In League or Multiplayer races I see the "microphone" icon means headset, the Steering Wheel means steering wheel, but what does the "eye" icon mean? I have only seen it a few times.

Spectate mode?

Could be that they are spectating the race instead of driving?

That's exactly what it was. I messed around with a few things and it's all back to normal. Thank you!

 

[AlienDeathRay]

Ah Yeah, Spectate Mode makes sense. Since it showed up right around the same time. Don't know why we need to know who is spectating though. I have to check out spectate mode a bit more, as I only browsed it for a few minutes. Change camera and change car seemed to lag quite a bit in my first experience using it.

 

[notsofast]

Can anyone tell me if you already have the car pass and try to redeem another code for the car pass but the system tells you that you already have it (long story so Im not going to bore you with the details or entertain you with my stupidity ) is it still usable by someone else?
