Forza Horizon 2 |OT| Rock You Like a Huracan
- Thread starter VE3TRO
- Start date
I've gotten a weird bug with my R32 GTR.
I had used it a bunch in singleplayer no problemo.
I selected it to use in a online road trip race and was suprised that its engine sound had vanished, all the toher sounds are there but not GTR
So I figured this was just one of those strange once off bugs and didn't stress it.
At home, on a completely different XB1, I choose this car for a championship race and WTF still no engine sound. I tried a couple of other things to fix the bug such as resetting the cars setup and even removing and re-buying the car, still no engine sound.
Its a pretty annoying bug as I rely on the sound to change gears and I love sound of this car, I guess I should be glad the bug doesn't effect any of my other cars but a fix would be great.
Video evidence.

No, you have to rely on the voting.
There is a perk that makes your vote count double that might help.
(or maybe in online free roam you can set up your own races, I'm not sure)
I got a B race once, but I've never seen C or D show up in the voting and I've put in at least 10 hours into online road trips so far. Unfortunate, because some of my favorite highlights have been from A and B level. Often much more competitive, even with a crash, due to lower acceleration / speed.
Do online free roams and you can set up an event in whatever race or class you want.

Damn I've only played 10 minutes and so far force feedback has been great, it's a world away from F5 and approaches the strength I'm used to on PC.
There's none of the disconnected lightness on RWD cars either, they feel solid, snappy and satisfying.

Yeah RWD is much better in Horizon 2. I really struggled with RWD in Forza 5, I just couldn't hold onto the car through corners.

The driving model is just insanely good for an arcadey game like this, far better than it ever needed to be. I'm sweating like a pig fighting to gain control and failing miserably.
On a pad or wheel?
With a wheel I found the turn in to be loose in F5, there was no resistance so I'd turn further in until I could feel something which usually was too far.
Gonna have a play around with H2 some more tomorrow, like what I see but shit I found the 30fps jarring for a while.

I don't think anyone expected that. For me, it's because it looks ugly compared with Forza Horizon 1 and other late last-gen open world racers like NFS: Most Wanted. I know gameplay is more important than graphics but I just found it depressing to play the game when it looks so bad. It simply isn't up to standards for the Xbox 360.
I don't like how more and more XP is required to level up (30.000 for level 183) while CR rewards stagnate. I'm struggling for money right now, all cars 1 million+ are kept from me because a) they are not given out by the spinning machine ( it maxes out at about 250k) and b) I barely make any money during championships. TBH I don't think I could buy expensive cars without Rewards.
The Riverbed Cross-Country Race at Saint-Martin is the best example of AI not following checkpoints.
At a point, the route follows the road a bit and some of the AI just follow the road instead of go through the checkpoint!
Look at the racers on the right...don't look like they would be going through the checkpoint, does it?

HUGE PROBLEM: I was driving against one of my rivals and after I beat the time and the game should have given me credits it crashed with that buzz sound. After I loaded up the game again everything was fine except for one thing: I lost ALL my 67 cars except for the BMW that I chose at the beginning of the game. I had a lot of fun with this game, but this... I think I won't be able to go back and purchase every single car and upgrade them again....
Edit1: I've lost all my perks, too....
Edit2: Championship races are no longer on the map. This makes my save file unplayable....It's sad, but I'm done with this game :/
Ok this scares me.
Does the game save locally as well as in the clouds?
If not is there any way to set the game to do both? Or at least back saves up?

Yeah, I wasnt saying people were lying since I heard it from several different players. Just never witnessed that, and I hope it never happens on my playthrugh!
But yeah, on that picture theyre clearly going away from the checkpoints!

this is some scary shit, sorry to hear that dude, sucks
Wait until you get there and do the race. It'll happen. But other than that, nothing as blatant as that. I was too busy racing them on the road, then found out I missed the checkpoint!

X_X My one does the buzz crash sometimes. But nothing is lost thank god.

Does the AI not get punished for missing the checkpoints?
GHG

Nope. Its been known for a while. Big problem on the cross country races if you play on higher difficulties.
I was willing to accept that all cars are lost and start over buying them, but after a minute I found out that I'm no longer able compete in championships and I immeadiately stopped playing. Now I'm just waiting for informations about my save file. If the team won't be able to help me I'll try to get a refund.

Just splurged and abought myself the Lambo Huracan. Sweet mother of jesus, its so awesome. Feels like I'm driving the batmobile across majestic fields of wheat and flowers. Feels good man.

Although it was said driving supercars across fields was dumb (which it is a little) I definatley didn't find it easy without assists. Really wanna try it with the shifter now for extra frustration.
I don't think it looks bad at all. It is just as impressive from a technical standpoint as the first game. But the problem is that now we have more open areas, so the details must go everywhere, not just on the roadside. And the design of the map doesn't help either, because on the first game we didn't have many high lands where you could see up to the horizon without obstructions. On the first game we had that canyon high area, but there was a desert below it. On the mountains we usually had the vistas blocked by other mountains, tunnels, trees or guardrails. The map was designed within the X360 limitations in mind, which doesn't seems the case with the second game. So now we have more visible pop-ups and bland areas, but I think it's a matter of design, not that Sumo did a worse job here...
I'm really happy with this game, and glad it did came out on the X360.
Are you using paddles now? I find field driving with the shifter a lot easier than auto or paddles.
There's only one Lambo worth driving in Horizon and that's the Urus.

Urus is good, but Aventador is da best!

Yeah I'm using manual with clutch (autoclutch) on the paddles.
that makes me think of the rally fighter, and *that* makes me think how good m0dus' gaf art would look on the rally fighter..

The Urus is kinda awesome. But the best Lambo? Come on man.

Tempted to buy an F40 as I've almost 2m credits from Forza Rewards.
Before I do is the game going to gift me one at some point? I'll pick up something else if so.

I saw a D100 race once. Sadly, nobody else voted for it.
If it gifts you one you can choose to get half of its value in CR instead. But this reminds me: I think the F50 is the best designed supercar ever. It could easily be a car from today but it's 20 years old. The F40 looks much older because it's more edgy.

about what it's worth though. Feels smaller than horizon and no where close to TDU or TDU2.
I'm only missing a few signs, so I assume they're in the middle of random fields or woods somewhere since I've driven on all the roads.
heh
my miura, my countach and my diablo, they all say you are VERY wrong
car gifts are random with the spin-the-wheel-of-fortune thingy.
the good thing is that I havent received as gift a car that I already had in my garage. at least not yet.
so go ahead and buy dat old fiery lady

The F50 and Enzo never sat right with me, they looked busy and overly designed until seeing them in the flesh. Both were stunning.
p3tran said:
Nice, thanks mate. I read the F40 was in an event and thought the game might give me one like it did with the 360CS.
Past level 200 and I'm still loving everything about this game. It's fun just picking a car and a direction and off you go. My only two gripes with the game are as follows:
1. AI during off road races is bullshit. I've seen them miss checkpoints without penalty and I find it unfair that they always know where to go and seemingly aren't affected by the terrain. Maybe this is patchable, I don't know.
2. Starting grid. Why 8th place? 12 cars and you put me in 8th, every time. This has bothered me with the Forza series for awhile now. If the events really are part of a series and I won the first race, shouldn't I be in the front of the pack at the second race? I feel so ripped off after winning a tough race only to be dumped back in 8th.
The off road races wouldn't be so bad if I could start at a better position. There could be some strategy with the order of races I choose to do. Circuit race first to get a better position for the off road/street races.
Sorry for the long post.
TLDR: Offroad race AI can be shit. Starting grid needs to be revamped in newer Forzas.
I would say those are pretty minor things compared to all the fun I've had with this game. I don't think I'll be playing anything else, besides some Project Spark, until Sunset Overdrive comes out. Even then I see myself coming back to this game often.

Dead on man. The first one NEEDS to be patched as it is the first time I have ever been incredibly frustrated at a Forza game. The Cross Country races are so full of obvious bullshit AI that I am not sure how nobody noticed.
I've ended up just driving around exploring than I really expected, now that I've finished most of the single-player. The "orb search" itch is strong.
Having finished it now (and I play on higher difficulties), this isn't something I ran into to the degree you're describing. Maintaining your grip with a clear line between checkpoints is the most important part of offroading, because any times your wheels are spinning (or you're sliding sideways), you're just throwing away engine power.

I'm fucked then, can barely get an AWD Focus in a decent position. With no aids or driving lines I find myself totally off line. Even putting my foot down off-road I'm spinning. Maybe it's a shit setup.
Yeah I was giving it some thought after my previous posts and I think the problem lies with trying to put the Xbox One game onto the Xbox 360. When you consider what has been achieved with other games on the same hardware, such as Just Cause 2 and GTA V, I think the engine they used is the limitation rather than the console.
It would probably have made more sense to take FH2 on Xbox 360 in a different direction to the Xbox One version. Set it in a different location with a map that the engine can handle better. It would have made owning it alongside the Xbox One version more worthwhile too.

Oh, I dig it man, I love rallying games and have been playing them for a long time. The problem is not MY car, its the unnatural grip that the AI has. I have seen them come in at extreme angles and then suddenly grip and fly straight forward like a rocket. Something that should not be possible, especially in an S class RWD Modern Muscle Car. And it is not all the cars, there are just some that you can watch and see how unnatural they move. I am surprised more people haven't seen it, but maybe its some weird drivatar glitch? Because it is SUPER obvious that the game is cheating. And I usually play on Pro? (The one above Highly Skilled).
Can you grab some videos?

Thats your problem.
I have a heavy foot and tend to slam down the accelerator, and that gets you nothing but trouble in the cross country events. I have to constantly talk to myself (easy on the gas, easy on the gas.....).
WTF. I didn't know this. I've always wondered how the AI cars were closing the gap on me so quickly and from out of nowhere and the cross-country races were easily the toughest races to win. Typically, I'd be happy with a 3rd or 4th finish in country races. Playing on the Pro level, BTW.

I really should. There was a HORRIBLY blatant one last night when I was playing but I didn't even think to have the Xbox record it. The next time I play, I am going to comb through the replay to find it when I notice it.
They need to at least patch in the AI missing checkpoints. That alone is enough for them to get the extra speed or angle to kick your ass in the next section.
p3tran, have you noticed any of this? Because I would like to hear your opinion on the matter.

I haven't yet had the chance to see an F50 in person, but spent some time around an Enzo, (in Nero/black no less), several years back, and while I've seen more than my fair share of supercars, the Enzo trumps them all in terms of presence and intimidation. Part of that is its sheer size, but the design has held up a lot better after more than a decade (!) than I thought it would.
I was a bit bummed that the Enzo Bucket List wasn't more along the lines of TTR's WRC hooliganism, but that needn't stop some talented soul from going out and recreating it in the game...

Yeah I think you're right, I'm getting carried away and approaching the game all wrong.
Ok as crazy as this sounds H2 seems to have addressed almost every issue I've with Forza for years, even the fov and whoever is responsible for making the force feedback deserves a massive slap on the back too. Seriously great work.
That's crazy, I wouldn't be brave enough to take it outside.
Took this one for Glass Egg (or whoever does the modelling)
