Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

[Chebble]

I just wish they would quit running into me head-on. For some reason they all drive on the wrong side.

Exactly. They drive around in packs too, on narrow roads they're unavoidable.

Enjoying the game on PC. I finally got my stock BMW M3 E36 which I wanted so desperately. Got 5 Barn Finds and the best yet was the Toyota Land Cruiser!

I love how you can customize events, nothing is restricted and now you can really put SUV's to a good use. You're not forced to tune cars, or to handicap them. I wish Forza 6 was like this, because this really makes you enjoy every car however you want and whenever you want. Hopefully Forza 7 will be like this.

A.I is no longer annoying. Drivatars on normal traffic are idiots, but during races they are just perfect. Not too easy, not too difficult. And so far each event has been an absolute enjoyment!

Game looks stunning on my PC. I go back to the Xbox and it looks almost as bad as when I'm streaming. It's so blurry and the 30fps hurts my soul. On PC, it's as clear, smooth and crisp as glass. No performance issues. Game is in High/Medium with a 60fps lock. Only the forest at night with rain has dropped them to 48.

Not everything is perfect though. I've got two random crashes (one being a full PC crash). Photomode looks like if it's in 480p, making it useless.

Navigating through customization menus is very laggy. Frame counter fluctuates between 60 and a painful 12fps when selecting stuff.

I do have the issue with the Ultimate Edition content. I can use it on my Xbox, but it won't work on my PC. If I change to a DLC car in my Xbox and go to the PC version, everything unlocks, but as son as I change the car, the game crashes. Upon going back, the VIP and all the other stuff is not accessible anymore.

A heads up for anyone that wants to try groove music. It's 250x faster and easier, to use the groove app on your phone or tablet to create playlists. The app on Xbox isn't optimized really well, and it's a pain in the ass to use. You can whip up a couple playlists in just a few minutes on your phone, and it's really easy to search for songs/albums and add music you want.

I need 15 flipping points to the next and last Forza Rewards tier to unlock the last bonus car...

Then I can finally start FH3, hopefully tomorrow.

Right. I have compiled a list of cars with the steering on the wrong side. (My conclusion to this being that the cars are either available in Australia with RHD, or were designed in a country that is RHD, or would otherwise make sense in RHD. but for whatever reason the in-game model is LHD)

Probably models from previous Forza Titles.

 

[Harakudoshi]

Probably models from previous Forza Titles.

Most are, but several aren't. They clearly modelled an American spec car. Which is understandable, but also easily fixable. Simply by mirroring the interior over, and then using readily available photographs and common sense to make sure the writing and placement of dials and buttons aren't also mirrored incorrectly.

They won't because turn 10 is U.S based we don't get many rhd cars.

Does this mean that the All Stars Pack is able to be brought separately?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/forza-horizon-3-motorsport-all-stars-pack/9nblggh4rlgl

I was hoping to get a disc copy of the Ultimate Edition but EB games here in Oz sold out.

@Luminis

Good news everyone.

We'd like to let the community know that the store team has root-caused the issue that is causing some players to not have DLC working in-game on Windows 10 PC's. The fix has been verified using a few players, and they are preparing a script that will correct the problem for all impacted players.

 

[Harakudoshi]

Hopefully Horizon 3 gets a cinema car deal like Horizon 2 did. And the film in question is Mad Max. Granting us a 4 door XA/XB Falcon, an HJ Sandman, the Gigahorse, the Ford Hot Rod buggy, and the correct Pursuit Special body kits for the XB and the HQ.

Yes, you can by it separately. It's $15 in the US.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Is there no photo PR thing like in FH2??

 

[Boxout]

Are you guys experiencing some weird freezes on the XB1? It happens every once in a while for me at random times, like cruising, or maybe even in the menus... The freezes are rather weird too, the game freezes for a second or two but the music keeps playing, then it all goes back to normal.
I'm really starting to worry that my XB1 is failing on me...

 

[GroupB]

It's a perk unlock.

 

[magic_town]

I changed from cockpit cam to chase cam and I found it far more enjoyable for this type of game.

There is sooo much to do in this game, loving it so far

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Should finally be able to play the game tonight, it's at 96 %.

I'm fairly certain this has happened to me once or twice, there has also been a few slowdowns (nothing as drastic as FH1 on XB1 though).

I use hood view when racing but switch to chase view when I'm just driving. You just miss too much otherwise (unfortunately I don't miss trees much).

Sold my HE GT-R for 1,370,000. Time to win snag an HE Viper.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Also, little correction from an earlier post i made, my XBL name is Jamobomb86 not Jamobomb15...

I am getting exactly that same thing. It's a strange little bug but I just ignore it.

In other news. I won the Warthog which makes me very happy. Not only because it's a fun car to drive (four-wheel steering is amazing) but because they have given players who have never played Halo an avenue to ownership.

 

[prousonhairy]

That body kit option for the XB Falcon GT is awesome.

 

[Ameer67]

Quick question, can drone mode be used online?

 

[MockngBrd]

Rieger kit for E34 is hideous as always

 

[prousonhairy]

Can anyone tell me where I can change my liscence plate?

You have to go to a Horizon hub, it's sandwiched between your garage and the horn selection.👍

Happens to me too, if there's too much of them i restart the game and then it's ok.

My Xbox is at least 3 years old so maybe it's the console(i hope no tho.)

 

[Eunosthedeer]

When do we get to race against the Giant Tarantula Spiders?

 

[bremics]

Thinking I might as well buy the expansion pass now, wonder how long til they come out?

Judging from the icon it implies the map getting bigger.

$31.99 instead of $44.99 until 12/12/16.

+Edit
@Eunosthedeer
Pretty sure thats coming with the second expansion pack. First is supposed to be giant snakes I think?

 

[ToyGTone]

*goes for a shameless advertisement*
Yes!

(2:23 to 2:40 is a big example of that since all the shots between that time were from online mode. Although those were shot in the demo, it should work the same for the full version).
