Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[ImaRobot]

plus what I am going to assume is terrible performance on non-X or S Xbox One models. And of course, I have a standard Xbox One.

While I'm on the One S, it's not a big jump over standard. It's far from terrible performance, in fact, I've had it rock solid outside of one very specific instance of using an Audi Quattro S1 on Hockenheim in one of the career modes. Odd thing is that it doesn't happen any other time outside of that, even on the same track in a different car so that makes me believe it's something else going on there. I've had a total of one time being stuck in a loading screen and I think just one outright crash so far.

The car selection screen does lag, though. They decided to put Forzavista models instead of images, for some reason.

Did it yesterday and it took about an hour to kick in after I checked the box.

Played for a bit yesterday and still haven't seen it pop up. Game is still sitting at 67gb. Hopefully it does soon.

Maybe try a reset.

I did the Windows Update this morning (Windows 10 Fall Update 1709)

Before the update everything was running fine. Since the update the game is locked at 30FPS no matter what the settings I'm using. I restarted my PC, reset my NVIDIA Control Panel and it's still Locked to 30FPS. I'm using the latest NVIDIA Driver on a 980TI.

I double checked my Windows "Game DVR" Settings and it's Disabled so is "Game Mode".

After some more testing it appears running in Fullscreen Mode lock the game at 30FPS. Running Windowed mode unlock the framerate.

Has there been a stated release date on the Hoonigan DLC? I have a bad feeling it may end up as November's dlc

Pre-order content either gets released about 6 months after release or never, based on previous titles.

Anyone else notice how they silently added the '69 Chevy Camaro SS to the dealership? I swear it wasn't there before.

I was driving an E39 M5 when Song2 by Blur came up on the Spotify playlist I was listening to... Sideways action occured.

Unless there's two 69' Camaro's now, its been there all along. bought a 69 Camaro like 2 weeks ago.

It's a bit late in posting this, but I've noticed that some cars have been revised. The Acura Integra Type R and Ford Shelby GT350R both can have their hoods and trunks opened in Forza Vista mode. The Ford GT has an openable hood now. It makes me curious on what other cars have been changed.

Same with the 2004 Subaru STI, you can now open the hood and trunk. I noticed a few more new ones but I'm blanking on which ones exactly. The Lancia Delta Integrale I believe is new with all the opening bits, but the hood fails to open. It appears to open a glitched hood animation and you hear the hood popping sound, but the modeled hood remains closed.

The hood fails to open on the 2004 WRX.

The hood fails to open on the 2004 WRX.

Not for me, it opens just fine. Maybe these glitches aren't universal? Anyone else having issues getting the Delta Integrale's hood open?

Not sure it matters, but it should flip forwards rather than opening conventionally.

 

[SPhilli911]

Oh I know that, but it's not a problem of me not knowing where the hood opens from but rather the animation flat out fails, even if I "explode" the car. I'll get a screenshot later. The hood remains closed but a phantom hood opens, almost like a wireframe, complete with hood opening sounds.

Did you upgrade the turbo? If so, the hood stops opening.

That's funny, I get the exact same thing with the Subarus, doesn't matter which one they all do that. I'll have to check the Delta but this is pretty strange.

 

[PiotrGT]

Polish version of the game. So it says "Model Family: Fokus". FOKUS. How do you even mess up translation of something that doesn't need to be translated is beyond me. lol

Also, does anyone know how to "explode" a car in free play? I mean when you are choosing one. I've seen somebody doing this on yt.

 

[DK]

My big gripe about Free Play is that Drivatars don't get liveries. Driving a liveried car reminds me of the time I went to an assessment day for a job opening "only" dressed in smart-casual clothes...and every other man wore a suit.

Press X on the selection screen.

I've definitely started seeing drivatars with liveries on PC, so I'm not sure what's happening there unless you mistakenly turned Drivatar liveries off by mistake. My personal issue is that if and when you turn liveries off, cars only appear in the 'default' colour rather than a random factory colour - it really spoils the immersion a bit when there's three identical cars at the front of the field in exactly the same colour, and becomes a bit egregious in some of the homologation sets - I can't remember what it was called, but I was doing a championship in the Forza Drivers cup in a Volvo 870 and about 3/4 of the field was almost the exact same shade of red.

Nope, they're switched on, I even tried switching them off and back on again when the track had loaded but to no avail.

Lol I've done that too. I got the job. Couldn't believe it myself

Was just driving the Nissan R91CP and I've found another issue to add to this game's list.

The wing on the car shakes around like crazy and not only does it look unprofessional, but it causes the paint on the wing to start being "static-y", I don't have a pic or video because I'm too lazy to get one, but this is just another bug to add to the ever-growing list

 

[Populuxe]

I wonder if driver suits will be a part of the DLC?

 

[LumpiestFish]

It wouldn't surprise me if we get a few with each DLC. I'd like to see more actual race suits, such as maybe a Josef Newgarden racesuit, like we have the Tanner Faust and Ken Block racesuits. I'm surprised we haven't seen any Alpinestars racesuits since there has seemed to be a partnership between them for a few years now. Would be a perfect use for cross promotion.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

If there are race suits in the DLC I surely hope that they do not take the place of any cars as IMO the suits are completely useless.

 

[CSLACR]

Driver gear and "badges", I can't figure out which is more useless.
These two things taking up most of the "prizes" in car crates, are the reason I don't buy car crates.

 

[McLaren]

At least you can see driver gear. I don't know what the hell is the point of the badges to make them part of loot crates. Hide them all behind various tasks.

 

[notsofast]

The only time I've ever picked a driver suit as a level up prize was the Mt Panorama only because it was one of my favourite tracks and I thought the suit looked good. Other then that Im not big into collecting suits, give me cash or cars either wise.

I'd rather do like GT6 did with driver gear and let you pick a seperate helmet and suit which was cool in a way, wasnt really about collecting but hey if you're gonna be on track its natural to want to have a nice lid for your avatar. From memory you had a choice of three different setups and that was it. Didnt cost anything in game also and some suits could be only be unlocked by ingame achievements which was fair enough like the Nascar stuff.
