Turning in for the night, happy to finally have this game... can already tell it's going to be phenomenal.

My god this games good. Holy shit.

I thought I would be tired of the series after playing 1 and 2 back to back when 1 came on backwards compatibility, but nope. Love it already and I'm gonna sink probably more time into this one than both of those combined the past few weeks.

What difficulty level are you guys playing on?

So, so good. I guess I didn't expect any less, though.

Only downside is I have to go to bed so I'm not completely dead for work tomorrow, but I know what I'll be doing pretty much all weekend.
 
I seem to be caught in an infinite loading loop; after expanding the Byron Bay site and selecting a new car, the game gets stuck on the 'now saving...' prompt.

After restarting, the game once again freezes at the title screen during the initial load.

A hard reset of the Xbox allows the game to launch, but as soon as it attempts to save my progress, the cycle starts all over again.

If you're talking about the G29 H-Shifter then they said that wouldn't work right away.

Has anyone on PC had the VIP status working?

How do I know if it's working? It's my first FH game. So far I noticed that when I levelled up and they showed the spinner thingy, I got 15k CR and then it doubled to 30k CR and showed the VIP status/badge. Does that mean I'm good, or do I need to check other things too?

Playing the PC version here, really solid performance. i7 6700K & GTX 1080, frame rate mid 50s to mid 90s at Ultra settings. <3

The demo was stunning, but having the actual game and being able to use the HDR mode is just mind boggling good. I was really blown away by the way it looks in HDR. Game gives you 2 settings to adjust in-game. Overall brightness and HDR brightness. It has a Forza logo to adjust HDR brightness and then the normal 1, 2, 3 boxes for overall brightness. So far it looks fantastic in HDR, especially when you are in a forest and as you get to a clearing where the sun is fighting to get through and it finally does it is just spectacular on how it looks.

Mind blown!!!!

Anyone notice HDR messes with screens and captures. It's the high exposure capture but damn it looks good on the ks8000.

Can't imagine what it looks like on an oled panel
 
Sipping some glenlivet and playing Forza Horizon on a 65", life really doesn't get any better. Game is so gorgeous and fun, congrats Playground you have made a masterpiece.

Played PC version a few minutes later on my 970, it set visuals to medium but I had to tweak some of the rez and vsync stuff for my gsync monitor, buit looks and plays absolutely stunning. Cross save works great, picked up right where I was on xbox one.

Mobo's fried, so I can't try the PC version. For some reason, the Warthog key never came, but someone was kind enough to send me one. For some reason, it refuses to install.

did they fix VIP for PC yet?

Mine did not work when the game unlocked. Went to xbone and unlocked everything there. A couple oh hours later (3-4) it was also recognized in the PC version. Cannot say if playing/unlocking vip stuff on the console helped or not.

Before it was working selecting any dlc crashed the game, now everything is working perfectly.

Jeeeesus this MS Store is a piece of crap. I' can't even see transfer speeds! Almost halfway through the download after 3 days. As long as the power doesn't go out or anything that would stop the download and restart the bloody thing I might actually get to play tomorrow evening...
 
Haven't booted up my game yet since I'm at work, but I have a question: I have the Ultimate digital edition - how exactly do I unlock my Warthog? Is it already in the game or do I need a code from Microsoft?
 
Guys, slight issue I could use some advice on. I got a preorder code off of Amazon (had some credit) and per them I redeemed it on xbox.com with my gamertag. However, I'm intending to play it on PC and my gametag/win10 ID are unrelated. Did I screw myself over? I bought the deluxe version too. :|

Just checked it out and now it says I own the VIP in the game but when I try to unlock the cars it asks me to buy it again.

Also I still have my 750 million lol. Might wait till they fix this then restart. Hopefully it's soon
 
Do the Tier Reward cars not show up until the game is officially out? Forza Rewards shows that I should have them but I only got money in my gifts section.

What is it about the car that is shown in the lower left on a wheelspin? Is this the best price you can win in this spin or do you get that car regardless of the outcome of the spin additionally to the reward of the spin?

It's one of the rewards during the spin

You get them once the first festival reached level 2. I think the girl mentioned having a surprise for me there and when I got there there was a presentation for all the reward cars.

Btw: the German name for Bucketlist is Löffelliste which roughly translates to Spoonlist and sounds hilarious.

Edit: oh fuck. This is an official term in Germany. Never heard this word before. lol

Glad I am not playing in German, just horrible!

edit: Official term does not make it better xD.

Are VIP wheelspins activated for you then? I bought all extra cars on XBone and didn't use them on PC yet.

None so far. I thought they might have done something on the backend with the credit fix. Think I got my last level up earlier today (7-ish hours ago)

Well if you haven't I would always try to use VIP on the console and then hope that information somehow propagates back to the PC version (even with a delay). Can't hurt.

What difficulty level are you guys playing on?

I'm up to "challenging" for the drivatars and still winning most races, I think I'm on about 50% XP bonus, switched off some of the driving aids. After about 5 races the game prompted me to try upping the difficulty.

Had a few bugs so far.

I'm unable to change radio stations when driving, unless I switch to the drone, then I can hit the d-pad to change.

Also when getting into a new car in the showroom and selecting drive, the wheels barely move as the car drives off.

I run Highly Skilled + Steering is Standard, TC off, ABS on. No damage because I hate cosmetic damage even on a game like this.

On my like 5th wheelspin I got the 2017 Ford GT Horizon Edition.. TC off that thing spins wheels on 4th gear..
