[gossi]

Not quite, now by Xbox won't let me install FH2 at all. It won't let me play or anything. This is with the new disc with no scratches. WTF!

The disk drive lens may be broken by the discs. Phone Microsoft.

Make sure you uninstall everything first

Oh snap. When I first read your story, I was wondering if your Xbox had the issue...
Go call up/chat/tweet xbox support

 

[Inceptional]

How? This is my first One game.

 

[mr stroke]

You guys playing this Automatic or manual shifting?


I can't decide what is better since this is more of an arcade racer....

 

[Gestault]

How? This is my first One game.

In the Games & Apps section, find the game, then press the "used to be the start button" button, and choose "manage content."

 

[Inceptional]

OK I uninstalled. I'm trying again.

 

[shermas]

I uninstalled the demo and all the VIP/car pack/whatever I bought, then re-installed all the the add ons, but my VIP still isn't working. Oh well.

For now, just enjoying the game. The additional cars will be nice. It'd also be nice of the devs to hook us up with something since they pretty much botched the Day One perks.

I've got about 300,000 CR so far. Haven't spent a dime on cars or upgrades, just using the cars you get as you go thru the game.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

Anyone who has joined a club, have you noticed club members (particularly people not already on your friends list) being integrated into your game?

FWIW, the guys who went through this with Forza 5 in Nov. '13 got nothing. But it's not killing my enjoyment of the game either. I am saving my wheel spins, though.

I was saving my spins, too, but I hit 'x' to start a bucket list challenge and, right as I hit the button, the 'you have spins' prompt came up, so I had to use a spin. Then, it wouldn't let me stop.. after the first spin, my only option was 'collect prize and spin again.' So, after saving up 6 or 7 spins, I ended up accidentally burning through all of them. That kind of sucked.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

Oh, that sucks. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be careful with that.

I thought I would take a shortcut;

I went from 'lol this is fun' to 'oh sweet baby jesus' to 'I was never worried'. I love this game!

 

[MaulerX]

Just fired it up.... Wow this game is just gorgeous. Looks so crisp and clean. Damn.

Nice driving

 

[JoJo UK]

I did it again half way through the following race.

Totally meant to do it...

Awesome job

 

[Uzny]

I've been playing for about 3h now, reached level 15 (or so) and joined club de GAF. The game is everything I had hoped it would be; the sense of freedom, amazing vistas, moody rain, offroad events, challenges etc. And I haven't even touched online yet... Kudos to folks at Playground - job well done.

One more thing - ANNA is great! I love saying "anna, nearest event", to which she replies "no problem" and sets the marker for me.

 

[bananafactory]

I couldn't get Anna to work last night - it doesn't require Kinect does it? I don't see why my headset mic wouldnt work

 

[Sordid]

Anyone else getting server errors? Can't download\share tunes atm.

Edit: Working again!

 

[purg3]

It's been working off and on for me for the past hour or so.

 

[B3N1]

What is this, "Horizon Promo?"
Surely they must have meant, "Horizon Take A Photo Of The Starting Grid."

Yep, I did exactly that.

Spoiler

It won't be enough as game didn't mix up the cars for me, 3 different models in a 12 car championship. Also it registers the civilian cars (but not the bus ), so it will be fun.

 

[mrklaw]

Something is odd at the end of each race, taking ages to actually bring up my credit balance and rival. Is it polling the servers at the end of each race?


And the off-road races in cockpit view/hood cam/bumper cam are really hard. If the red smoke is obscured (quite often happens), then all you have is a tiny thin white line to show the next checkpoint. They need to beef that up so you can see the checkpoints more clearly from any camera view. While they are there I'd like to see two checkpoints ahead to help plan my route

 

[TaKeRx]

Once a race finishes it takes quite some time for the post race (where it gives out the cash credits and cp) until it takes time for me to continue as if its calculating or something. Is that normal?

 

[VRMN]

It does require Kinect, I believe. All the voice processing hardware is in the Kinect itself.

I'm having some issues too.

Guys, I downloaded the launch bonus car pack and the day one car pack but in the autoshow the cars are not free, is this normal?

This started to happen on my last few races actually.

No, something is going on with servers. Clubs and decals not working for me.

Yea, I'm having the same issues. I guess it has something to do with the MS Servers getting hammered by something.

 

[Megasoum]

Sigh... I want my VIP bonus credits.

that usually means the servers are having issues. First day stuff.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Any cool looking slow-mo gifts yet?

Replay angles preferably...thinking about it, does the game have any TV style replay cameras?

 

[TaKeRx]

Thanks all. It looks like its sorted out for me. It's instantaneous now.

 

[mrklaw]

Couldn't find any - it has lots of camera options but no tv style. Weird

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Can't afford to day one this due to bills but I hope it does well for PG.

 

[JackAubrey]

The first game didn't have TV style views either - I guess that's because of the open world element.

Though there's no reason some way of creating camera views on the fly that were clear of terrain couldn't be implemented.

 

[Saroyan]

Anyone gotten their $10 Xbox live credit from a best buy preorder yet? I did store pickup and got my preorder code for the M6 before I got home but nothing for the live credit. I was going to use it for half price VIP

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Shame but I guess given the width of the drivable areas means unobscured placement would be extremely difficult.

 

[Prophecy650]

if you're sharing a digital copy of FH2, shouldn't it also share the VIP pass? Should work the same way, or is DLC different?




yes to all of the above. Only catch is that one of you needs to be signed in to play.

So eg you buy FH2 using your gamertag/account. You can then play that on any xbox one if you are signed in, and *anyone* can play that on your primary system.

So if you're in different locations, you'd need to have your brother's Xbox set up as *your* primary console. And you'd need to always sign in on your xbox.

The downside is that nobody else can play those games on your console now, because you need to be signed in. So if you have family members in your house that is something to bear in mind.

Holy shit!!!!! Anyone want to share their forza horizon? I've got lots of games

 

[TaKeRx]

Hey guys, how do I know if VIP is working for me? Woukd it say it when getting creditted after a race?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Shit... my xbox one acting funny!

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

The easiest way to tell if VIP is working is the crown icon that would be next to your gamertag.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Ok its installing now

 

[m23]

Anyone else having trouble connecting to the servers?

 

[REV 09]

Game is off to a great start and looks fantastic. The drive to Castelleto was gorgeous.

 

[statham]

servers are a mess right now for me too.

 

[DocSeuss]

Mine's been saying "Updating..." for ten minutes.

 

[Ray Wonder]

On the way to the Festival. Literally the first time I touch the car I flip it. It happened perfectly because the announcer guy just said "Let's get it there in one piece".

I would upload a gif, but the video with the voice is funnier.
Here it is.
