Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

It's Trumps fault for repealing net neutrality (j/k j/k).

So are FH3 and FM7 safe to play again? I'm not keen on potentially losing my year's worth of progress in a blink, but I've been starving myself of FH3 because of the fear...

I haven't had any problem going back and forth between the two games. I can't guarantee you won't lose your game data if you decide to play, but I won't let fear stop me from playing.

Would anyone be willing to help a guy out with the co-op challenge for Forzathon? Public co-op lobbies are completely useless atm

 

[Cloudy]

If anyone is willing to help, I'm available after I get home from school around 4:00 pm

 

[Cloudy]

Double post somehow

So about 3pm my time. I should be able to help you out. My XBL name is the same as my screen name. Just look me up.

Ok, I didn’t know where to post this... Hi Horizon players! 30 minutes ago Horizon 3 began installing in my xbox drive and I’m pretty sure I didn’t bought it or received a gift code! It’s the standard edition with the hot wheels expansion! This is either great (I was having a crappy day) or rather alarming!

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Expansion pass is £8.77 on Xbox marketplace. Bargain!

I'm sorry to double post, it's annoying I know but can anybody seriously help me please?

I've just done the Forzathon challenge where you got to have a race in a Class C car to get the 911 Turbo S. So I just had done exactly that and I got nothing at all from it. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Forzathon is a bit bugged, do another race and it should pop up.

I thought so. Next Forzathon (got the cars for this Forzathon now) if it bugs up again I'll also try that. Thanks man!

Day 43
With the terrain map and routes now complete all that was left to do was to add the various Australian landmarks and Beauty Spot locations. Beauty Spots were simple enough, just mirror what appears on the in-game map.

For the Landmarks however I had to go into more detail, as the #ForzaHorizon3 map doesn't display all of them. That meant producing custom icons (like the one you see here for the Great Ocean Road) to match the design theme of the already existing ones. With each icon it was important to capture the likeness of the real-life landmark while also being simple enough to work as a minor piece of a much larger image.

I now have 2 maps of Horizon's Australia completed, one for the environment and one for the race routes. The final stage of the project is where they come together to form the finished piece.

Days 44-46.

With the map sections complete there was only one thing left to do, the covers and information pages. For these I had to research and write up believable text for the Horizon festival, from general information to motorsport safety guidelines.

As with the rest of the project it was important to capture the "look and feel" of the Horizon Festival, pulling inspiration from all sorts of places, including trailers and the UI of the game itself.

The illustration is now complete but I'm not ready to share it just yet. There are a few things I want to do before I show off the project in full. Expect to see the finished piece in early 2018. Until then, thank you for following me on this journey; as with all of my personal illustration projects it was ambitious and time consuming but I learned a lot from it and had a good time putting it together.

For people new to Horizon 3, there is a sale in the auto show. Every car is 30% off. Before you buy a car, though, go to pause menu>progress>skill shop>skills>made to order for another 5% off. Do it for each car you buy. 35% off is some serious savings.

In other news, I was gifted 2 pre-order bonus cars when I logged in today. Challenger and 488 GTB.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Has anyone else been getting Error Code: 0x80244007 on Windows? Said failed to check for updates. Somehow haven't found anything on the Forza forums about it.

Edit: Nevermind, took a couple restarts of the game.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Interesting tidbit discovered by teamvvv. Bit a leak from Xbox marketing.

 

[-Fred-]

That looks iffy.

Although I am sure everyone would love to see FH set in Japan (Shutokou Highway System!!), I thought they were working on a non-Forza related title? Or was that only a small portion of the team?

BTW, the initial rumor came from ResetEra, from some guy who was correct for some E3?:

PG expanded to work on other games. The core Horizon team is still there.

Did exactly that and bought an Enzo. Kinda broke now though lol

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Picture/cover car is fake. But it probably will be set in Japan but won’t use that cover.

 

[PJTierney]

Regarding Forza Horizon 4, wait until the middle of June for news. Microsoft are typically very tight with their first party titles and every "leak" you come across is most likely a hoax.

The person who posted it originally confirmed its only fanart.

I finally bounced off the garage limit. I had a duplicate Jaguar XJ220 FE that I've been trying to sell for a couple months. I put it up in the AH one more time. While it was there, I leveled up and got another car. When the Jag failed to sell and I tried to reclaim it, I was told I couldn't because my garage was full. I've since sold about 15 duplicate cars so I'm safely under the cap, but it still surprised me. Despite being the kind of player who tries to own every car in the game, I've never had a problem with the garage cap. Oh, and I did eventually sell that Jag.

 

[On The Limit]

I'm going to be one of the slowest in human history to get on the FH3 train because after buying it at launch, it took until this month for it to run smoothly on my PC... oh, have I been waiting for this day. Much fun, such wow incoming.

 

[phenomphlyer]

About to give the game a start for the first time. If it ever finishes updating.

Remember how car horns were going to be a thing and they made a big deal about them and then it turned out that no one gave a s*** about them and they haven't even offered them as a Forzathon prize in more than a year? Good times.
