Both will probably happenThis is just like the rumours of GT7 coming to PC. I wonder if either event will ever happen...

So far we have mainly just had people miss the races because their update didn't work properly, but the stuttering thing had people stressing a bit in the build up.My club also races on Mondays. Fortunately we didn’t have many issues with this update, though there is a bug in Multiplayer where the first time you enter Practice/Qualifying you’re locked to 100% fuel.
Hm that's worrying... Hoping I won't have that issue to look forward to, I live out in the country and my internet is slow so it takes me around 10 hours to download the game which means I can't redownload it between 10am when the patches launch and 5pm when our Monday night league starts.I did all that and I was still stuck; then my console just decided to reboot.
Oh, well - thankfully, I was in no rush to play Forza, or I'd be a lot more annoyed by having to redownload the whole game...
Thats a useful post thanks. Hasn't affected me, luckily, but will hopefully help others.We have league races on Mondays which unfortunately T10 moved their update day to back in April or whatever, and after the update the other day we did have several people experiencing stutters in a meetup style lobby while practicing, on both PC and XSX. Once we got to the actual races though it seemed to be okay for everyone.
Did it get stuck on "Updating..." or "Starting update..." or whatever it says before it actually starts downloading anything?
I've had that for every FM8 update since May where it caused me to miss a league race while the entire game downloaded again.
If the download won't start and you restart the console (or apparently leave it sit on "Updating..." for too long according to one of our league members who experienced it), then yeah you will have to redownload the whole game, which for some people isn't a big deal as they have fast internet.
I've posted it in here a couple of times and always debate posting a PSA before updates but it doesn't seem too many people experience the issue, but if it gets stuck on "Updating..." if you pause the update, then resume the update, it should start downloading like normal. It will often take several clicks of the "Pause all" in the Queue and "Pause update" specifically on the game and a few minutes of waiting, but it should eventually change to "Paused" then you can either click the "Resume all" thing in the Queue or specifically on the game.
Hopefully this can save you some time on future updates.
I can certainly see logic in everything significant in the first 3-6 months after release being pre-planned, that seems to be how all modern games are released.Not really applying rigorous logic here, it's more of a hunch that I've had for a while and came from discussing with friends how Horizon 5 wasn't nearly as polished in its first year of life. That seems to be the pattern with all the latest Forza games, both Motorsport and Horizon. With Forza Horizon 4 and 5, we started seeing serious bugs squashed, multiple new cars per season and things like new game modes, parts and features around that mark. I am starting to doubt it's coincidence. Year One is Car Pass content, pre-planned stuff that they didn't implement at launch, and some band-aid fixes and improvements, and Year Two is where the game finally starts to come together. How did we start FM23's Year Two? With the first all-new track they added since the launch of the game (although Sunset Peninsula is returning from FM4, and one could argue Road Atlanta is an "all new" replacement to Road Whateverlanta as well), more new-to-FM cars than in the last six updates combined, a brand-new drift mode, and highly-requested options for private multiplayer lobbies.
I know, I know, Forza Motorsport's developed by a different studio, and one can't just assume they'd hold similar post-launch development schedules just because their product's name starts with "Forza", but I'm not surprised to see a similar tempo with T10's updates.
I did all that and I was still stuck; then my console just decided to reboot.

They go a long ways towards addressing some oversights and weird choices, IMO. Now, if we could swap the '13 Shelby for the Boss 302 of that generation, and get the FR500 in there, we'd have some content Mustang fans around here.So...not only do they bring Mustang month, but they bring the Dark Horse, Cobra R, '67 GT500 and Trans Am Mustang along with it. Yep, I'm definitely finding the time to play during this update. The Cobra R and GT500 make it worth it to me.
Just a few more hours until it’s available. The exact time is written in the official article.When I log into FM23, it says that all players who have the Deluxe or other edition of the game will get a Ford Mustang Dark Horse '24 along with the 3 Formula Drift cars. I see the FD cars in the showroom and the standard 2020 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500. No sign of any free cars or the Dark Horse even though I have the Deluxe edition. Is it still too early in the UK to receive them?
Any improvements to visualtarget preset?Some of the improvements in the new update compared to launch. Improved lighting, grass, trees, foliage, textures, draw distance, reflections, effects, RTAO and image quality
Left launch vs right update 13
If they did delay it, it would have likey just launched last week and would we really want to wait a full 7 years for a FM game? Some might say yes but a good chunk of players would have not liked the idea of delaying another year, myself included. I do think they should have had more content included even being released last year, they had many years to get at least a little more added in from 2017 to 2023. How they are handling it now to me is just fine because last years launch was the baseline and now we can fully compare a year later the state the game is in now.Serious question for you all. In hindsight, would it have been better to delay the original release of the game to address the many technical issues (and graphical broken promises) it launched with? Or the game is better now because from its original launch state there has been a real and steady effort to address the issues, which has included player's feedback?

I don’t necessarily think the game needed a bad launch in order to reach its current improved state. However, I think some Turn 10 higher ups got sacked following the poor launch, and their possible departure might have been a blessing for the development team’s ability to work on the game efficiently.Or the game is better now because from its original launch state there has been a real and steady effort to address the issues, which has included player's feedback?
Game desperatly needs track day feature back. To jump in lobby with random players and just enjoy the tracks by their own pace. Also all those events that just vanished after each series ended should be permanently added to career and bringing the wheel spacers from Horizon would be good idea too.November and December will really tell the level in which this game goes in the future. If they really hammer down the AI, PROPERLY, they add another 20-30 cars in the next 2 months with many being new to FM, they squash a lot of these bugs some of which have popped back up in this most recent update then 2025 should be a great year with a lot more good stuff to come. That also comes along with them listening to us and providing needed changes and additions in freeplay and multiplayer. We already know they plan to add a lot more permanent race events for career sometime next year and past reward cars will be available again sooner or later. This is called ending the year off with a bang and rolling off into the next year on a good note. We shall see, hopefully this update wasn't a one off...
