I do but it's hooked up to my gaming PC and the one I have now isn't compatible with Xbox. So until I get round to "upgrading" my gaming PC to windows 10 I will just treat this as a game to fool around in with random cars.

Yeah I'm definitely going to for long races on most tracks, a lot of them were too short for me in Forza 6.

I feel like a fool for buying this. Game keeps crashing when picking cars. I should have known after that terrible demo experience.
Would you be able to email us at forzafb@microsoft.com with details about this issue and we can try to assist. This is for the PC version correct?

You're right, PC owners aren't worthy enough because they didn't go out of their way to buy copies of a broken and poor-performing Forza Horizon 3 by the truckload to demonstrate their loyalty to Microsoft. Next time we should be forced to eat glass to atone for our sins before we are allowed to buy another Forza game on PC.
Really?

I figured it out. Framerate was unlocked. Set it to target 60 FPS. Silly for a game in 2017 but I understand you are working on it.
I really wish the wheel settings would be fixed after the debacle with Horizon and Apex. The wheel comes nowhere close to following my actual wheel movements and there is a crazy large dead zone. I am using a G27.
I have helped some of the deadzone by setting the inner setting to "0" from a "1" but now I need to figure out why the wheel is so out of sync and why my wheel completely stops working after modifying the steering settings while in the middle of a race.
The amount of cars is incredible (despite the power numbers being completely wrong?) and having Road Atlanta in this guaranteed a purchase from me. If these little issues can be ironed out quickly I will be very happy with the $107 I just threw down.

Rivals mode in single player (I think).
I think they're Mods now. And limited-use ones, at that...? I slotted 3 of the 5 that I started out with (got an achievement for that), and they get a little notch on them for every race. I'm guessing when the notches are full, they disappear?

You have to use your VIP 100% card manually (open a crate to get it).
thanks
You've just brought up one of my nitpicks! There are no longer class based leaderboards in rivals. So while in free-play you can just set the drivatars to 0 and hotlap till your hearts content, there is none of the rivals features in that.
I think they'll add them back though, (well I hope so, Helios pls) based on the fact that there's a lot of complaining about the lack of these leaderboards on the FM.net forums, Reddit etc. and so they should complain IMO. It was perfectly fine in FM6, why get rid of it?
Hope not, the per car / per track rivals was one of the funnest things they introduced into the FM series
BOOOOOOOO
Edit : Yeah, it's going off on the FM.net forums about it LOL

Steering Axis Deadzone outside is bugged. The higher the number the MORE you have to turn the wheel. The lower the number the LESS. The description is backwards or this setting is bugged.
Setting it to 100 helped get the car to match my inputs.

Anyway, if these games bomb, MS will just stop porting and you guys/girls won't have nothing to worried about. I think receiving no game rather than a crappy port is the best option.
Yup. It really is very easy to add them back in so hopefully they listen to the feedback and add them in cough *heliosT10* cough

So times set in races are not uploaded to rivals...?
But there is a Rivals mode still, only with a lot less leaderboard times set on it now because of the above?
If the leaderboards aren't class based, what are they based on then? Per car / per track? Then the "tuned to the max" cars will always be on number 1 - there's something I don't get here, I think. Can you filter it for stock setups (that's what I always wanted in Forza)?
There is a lot of surmising going on at the moment, but it seems like they will end up being homologation boards, rather than by class boards, from a couple of tweets it appears that the homologation stuff is their focus, which isn't a bad thing (IMO).
At the moment it's just spec challenges and the like.

What a strange attitude to have.
If Microsoft had a decent storefront for these games and the PC versions were solid then the games would sell well, everybody is happy and they would make a lot of money from it. But yet, here you are blaming PC gamers for the games not selling well?
There are no ports either by the way, the games are UWP.

That sounds great actually, if someone clever designed the homologation rules (if done bad it's like GTS Gr.4, where you only see GT-Rs because it's faster and easier to drive than all the other cars on every track in the beta).
But that the times set in career races are not uploaded to rivals (most of them are invalid anyway unless you play on a too low difficulty) sounds like a bad idea. That would show people how bad they actually suck at time trial ;D
I think they are uploaded to leaderboards, but I don't think those tie in with rivals, I've not played it yet, just going by what people are saying (shouting) over at FM.net
Times set in races are uploaded to rivals, there's just no way to access those times (I think)
There is still a rivals mode, but there are only these categories;
VIP
Featured Events
Spec Challenge
Track Days
Autocross
Drift
The lbs are now done by car division. So no "tuned to max" cars since all the divisions are homologated. You cant filter by stock setup afaik.

I just want good wheel support. Why don't I get the full 900 degrees? Why is FFB so bad? Turning my wheel 90 degrees shouldn't result in full lock. C'mon!

Not sure how much dynamic ToD is affecting it, but the lighting in FM7 looks much more realistic.

The most frustrating thing about this game as a PC player is the regressions in functionality from the series. It feels like improvements aren't merged back upstream and then those improvements aren't in new releases.
Stuff like an in-game framerate counter, not being able to turn in the audio down (or off) in game, and (maybe?) the better multicore support. But I'm getting very good and consistent performance when I bring my refresh rate down to 60Hz and disable G-Sync.
FWIW, G-Sync worked in the demo but I can't seem to get it to work in the full release, so that can be considered a regression too.
During the early days of Forza on PC talk, we heard a lot about the team getting the tech ready for PC and how they were preparing for it, and whilst it does seem fundamentally strong, the recurring issues that had been fixed in previous releases indicate an odd issue in the development processes.
(FWIW, I am *really* enjoying the game - Turn10 are overall doing a fantastic job, just a few frustrating points).

i5-6600K, 16 GB DDR4, GTX 1070, installed on SSD here...runs at a flawless 1440p60. Pretty much all graphics options set to Ultra with 4x MSAA.
The only problems I've had is the stuttering menus (the same problem happened with the demo) and my game crashed right after finishing the Seeker Cup. It crashed right on the achievement pop-up.
I bought Xbox Live RU cards on seagm.com (1x 2500rub and 2x 500rub), then navigated to the russian microsoft store site (replace eg en-US or w/e country code in url with ru-ru). Added moscow hotel hilton address onto my acct when it asked for it when i added the first card. Added the 2 other cards.
Done.

Isn't Laguna Seca one of the tracks without the dynamic stuff?

Forza 4 showing it's age but I still prefer it, I loved 4 it's a good game that I pretty much played over it's single player twice because of a save delete bug.
They are a lot of people staying at the Hilton this week who are buying FM7.
I don't know!

Taking a break. Been playing most of the day. Absolutely loving it.
I reckon one more championship and I'll have tier 3 unlocked.
I was terrible at the Formula E cars, I finished tenth in that series.

I finished it once (except for a few annoying autocross events) and I would do it again if it was made a backwards compatible title.

Got my ultimate diditon pre-loaded on PC and will try out later how it runs.
It bums me out to read about the full version still having stuttering problems like the demo.
I definitely had this issue and hope they find a solution for this ASAP.
What is so weird about it that some people with supposedly weaker systems don't have any issues.
It seems to be completly inconsistent and random.
BTW why is there no PC Performance thread yet?
I think the console players are not reall interested in our issues and would like to discuss more of the game itself.

For it's time it looked great, played great, nice selection of courses and cars, visually pleasing, great music, a true classic to me.

Oh nice, that's better than nothing then. So can you set a sunrise to sunset race on those tracks or is it completely random?
I'm on basically your build, just with an i7 instead of the i5, and I've also had ideal performance in-game. Menus do jitter some while it's loading content in the background, but on-track performance is exactly what it needs to be.
