The 5.0 patch had given me noticeably higher and more stable frame rates during races. I am now looking forward to further improvements in 5.1
There are games released as early access that are in a better state than MS releases these days (Mechabellum and The Last Flame are two early access games I've played that were pretty impressive even on the first day of early access). Age of Empires 4 was released way before it was ready, and now the same with FM.
I think the game has been written first for Xbox then ported to PC rather than having been written from the ground up to work optimally on both. I just can't explain the frame rate settings any other way.
I found this out the hard way just last night. I was nearly done with a 12 lap race barely hanging onto 1st place in a custom GT race and decided to take a great picture of me running side by side with an AI car and stupid me decided to try and at least save the picture. Low and behold I was kicked back to the home screen, lost my race progress smh.
Agreed! I love the older performance models, of every day cars, from the 80's an 90's!Mercedes 500E in FH5, god that beast better come to FM asap!
Also hell yea
I don't see how that follows from it not being about car collecting. It not being about car collecting would just mean all cars being available to all players. They make money from selling copies of the game, more cars makes it more likely people will buy it.
I can do one better, I took it flat on a previous lap. Turns out a slight lift is faster but either way, you have a 50/50 chance of nailing the turns or putting it in the wall.
True, and I totally get that. But that's not what I mean. It's the vibe of collecting cars I had in previous games. It's complicated to explain from my point of view, as it may sound arrogant to some. I know FM23 doesn't need such a vibe, and T10 can continue to add cars into the game as they please. I've recently just grown bitter about the game's structure.
Is this compatible with 2D wheels fix?Mercedes 500E in FH5, god that beast better come to FM asap!
Also hell yea
I don't know about vibe, but FM23 is still a car collecting game if you look at how much play time it will take to earn enough credits to buy every car. If you add the time to earn the credits that will be needed to buy the car points to be able to apply any tune to those cars, or the time to level them up to level 50, it's still a completely different category of game to ACC, for example - very definitely a car collecting game rather than a serious e-sports game (for me, at least, one defining feature of a serious e-sports game is that all players have equal access to all functional items).
That’s the stuff of nightmares for me; I like playing online but I absolutely have no interest in e-sport only title. And what you described as a pointless game concept is basically what made the success of GT then Forza Motorsport until 4. I know gaming environment has changed but a concept of a carpg game on racetrack is still relevant imho.
I wouldn't really call it a pointless concept, since that very concept is what got GT to become a famous franchise, sparking inspiration to titles like Sega GT and Enthusia. It's what also inspired T10 to create Forza Motorsport. It's odd to me that everyone says Forza needs to be an esport title, yet FM4 is still held up as the best and most beloved title in the series. I'm not against having competive online racing, but truth be told, I am not a fan of an only esport title.
