Anyone else on PC getting a bug where assets spontaneously stop appearing (roll cages, rims, brakes, tyres etc won't change appearance when upgrading a car in the autoshow, and recently the skill point wheel wouldn't show up when banking a skill chain), and then the game softlocks when saving upgrades? It's annoying having to restart my game every time this happens, plus whilst there's been no lasting damage save for some broken car thumbnails in my garage, I'm worried it's going to end up corrupting my save data.
 
Anyone else get this?

I have been told by @ManteoMax that this is a side-effect of some gifting that Turn 10 did overnight.

Basically, anybody that didn't get the free Duracell GTA Spanio last month got one last night, but Turn 10 also accidentally sent all of the Pre-Order cars to those people, even if they don't own the DLC.

Much like the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, you won't be able to use these cars unless you buy the DLC.

Makes sense, what annoys me though, is that it's impossible to get rid of them since you can't even sell them in the auction house. (Aside From the Warthog and DC Spanio)
 
Conspiracy theory time: T10/PG's radio silence for the last few days regarding the expansion and potential DLC and even FM7 is because someone tipped them Gran Turismo will have Porsches with the main game when it eventually releases, and they've had to go back to the drawing board with all that. :lol:

Not likely.

FM7 better have Porsche on the disc from day one.

It will. There is absolutely no reason why they would continue the tradition of offering Porsche as an expansion now that it's open season. The only reason why they are still doing it for FH3 is because it came out before the rights lapsed.
 
Considering even the slowpokes at PD now have Porsche, there's a fair chance pretty much every big racing game for the years to come will also have them. Unless something absolutely catastrophic happened in th meantime.
 
So many people have Porsche now that I think there's one in my wallet somewhere...

As for an Expansion; I was expecting one today but there's been no news at all. I know something is coming in April, and I believe that that something is not Porsche-related, but other than that it's all a guessing game.

It will be a Porsche galore!!! :gtpflag:
 
Meh, one single Porsche (so far) in a game that's limited by classes to modern machinery only. :P

It's a big — huge — announcement for GT fans, but yeah, with Porsche being in so many games this year (AC, PCARS2, GTS, even freakin' Gravel), I expect T10 to cave and do the right thing by putting them in from day one on FM7. Locking them behind a pay wall was only explained as a necessity of dealing with EA back in FM4 times: there's no excuse now.

Exactly.
 
Does Playground Games not have the rights to say "Wayne's World"? I had to grin a little when I unlocked the barn find because the other guy kept saying "that movie".

They might not actually have the rights, to be honest, since the Pacer barn find has a lightning bolt on the side, as opposed to the flames the real "Mirthmobile" has in Wayne's World.
 
Two Tuesdays without a car pack and no expansion, or expansion announcement for that matter. It begins to make little sense that there was no car pack last week. Has there even been an update of the Forzathon schedule? No drama just yet, something is supposed to happen in April.
 
It's easier to make subtle references than to pay the rights holder to use the name.
True, to an extent. However, listen to what Warren says regarding Aston Martin. He mentions James Bond numerous times, along with nearly all of the 007 movies.
Guess there are some exceptions. I don't know. :P
 
There may be different rules regarding "fair use" between the UK and US. James Bond, the character, the movies, the books, those are all under UK law. Wayne's World is under US law.
