Adoring the game so far, but would it have hurt them to finally implement some sort of sorting feature for the designs? I was hoping they would use the system in Forza 6 where you can sort by popularity and not have to scroll through a bunch of bad designs lol.

That and the pop in for the shadows in the main big forest is a bit bad on the One, it's so bad the forest looks like it's being built a few car lengths ahead of you. Other than that the game is everything and more that I wanted it to be and it's a STRONG contender for GOTY and easily one of, if not the best, racing game I have ever played.

Yep, really jarring.

Am I alone in thinking the game advances way too fast? I unlocked the third level of the first festival, barely did much and then immediately got the chance to upgrade again. Now my maps looks ridiculous. :p

Not a complaint btw, just an observation. Most games dial it way down when it comes to unlockables but FH3 seems to give you as much as it can. It's not overwhelming to me because I can always decide to tackle a specific festival and clean it out.

Also, zorbsie, your Toy Circuit event is insane! xD Loved it. I have to try it with the assists off because I only managed 2 laps before restarting with auto lol.

Yeah this is for sure the most addictive game I've ever played. The Fan system is fucking brutal. Now that I've unlocked the final festival hopefully I can ease up a little.

Anyone know the max level you can upgrade a festival to? IS THERE AN END TO THIS MADNESS?

I actually find it quite annoying over overwhelming. My map looks like FC3 with shit all over and I cant even get 50% without it unlocking twice as much as already displayed.

Wish they would show things a little slower to avoid having the map more or less only read "NEW"

I was so happy the Warthog finally downloaded, but now it won't appear in my garage. WTF. How hard is it to get a single car added to your garage as DLC Playground?!

Jesus, where did the past 3 hours go? This game is a tonne of fun.

I don't even mind the fact it's basically identical to Horizon 2, because it's so fun, and this just feels better overall.

It's fucking gorgeous too.

Its probably a technical limitation. I would imagine running the race takes up more power than you just flying around while parked.

I mean you can do drone mode in multiplayer and follow friends around so i dont see why a replay would be a limiting factor.

Cars other than you're own are a factor either way

It's the opposite for me. My Warthog is still listed in ready to install and gives an error when I try to install, but the car is in my garage now along with my preorder cars that also won't install.

On Xbox, and my ultimate edition stuff still isn't showing in game... neither is the warthog.
I've just unlocked my second festival.
Am I not up to a point where it's available yet, or is there a bug I should email support about?

Also, I bought the treasure map DLC, and that's not populating the map yet either.

Does replay run with higher graphics though?

Or maybe they don't want you to just fly well away from the race. As then the hardware needs to run the race as well as anything that's going on in your new area that you flew to.

Bound to be a performance reason. It would be cool to have a fully custom camera though for replays.

I always figured that the reason we never had track-side replay cameras in any Horizon game is cause it would be just too hard to place static cameras all around the open world. Drone Mode would be a perfect 'compromise'. The only technical limitation I can imagine is keeping the drone within the event area. So instead of placing cameras, they'd need to add invisible barriers.

Switch to Drone Mode, downshift to gameplay graphics. Seems a perfectly reasonable compromise.

Drone mode on PC on Ultra is pretty damn jaw dropping and I'm only playing at 1080p. I can only imagine it at 4K.

I know that feeling. I really thought I could resist but nope. At least we managed to wait a day before caving in right? Lol.

How do you replay races? Doesn't seem like there's an option to view them after a win unless I'm just clicking through menus too fast and just don't see it.

Not much of an update on fixing the VIP issue on PC, but they at least replied to several tweets saying they're hard at work on it.

It does seem like it should be that simple since refunding and rebuying fixed it for people who were able to get customer service to refund it.

Best racing game I have ever played, so addicted. I don't have multiple hour gaming sessions often anymore, hour or two tops but if I didn't have my kids this weekend and my beautiful girlfriend conk grocer tonight I would of stayed home all day and played this lol...

I wanted VIP for the extra money, didn't care about anything else or extra cars but still went ultimate for the extra $20, kind of nice having a couple free really expensive cars to start.

Does anybody have any tips on doing the drift challenges? And possibly a good car to use for them?

I'm really bad at them, doing something wrong.


Also should I be hocking cars I don't think I'll ever use on the AH or would it be smarter to keep everything?

Holy fuck, "buying" all the DLC cars is a huge pain in the ass.
Click to expand...

Goddamnit they didn't sort that?!? That's the one thing I was almost sure they'd fix. It was a joke in 2. I got the ultimate edition but ended up not caring about the car packs because it was such a hassle to actually "buy" them.

Nope, same shit. I'm going through them not instead of racing. Ugh.

Is online adventure matchmaking working for anyone? After the Press X to join it will just spin and after 30 seconds give up. On PC btw.

For treasure map there is a command at the bottom that requires you to activate it when you're on the map. Did you do that?

You can hid stuff with the filter. Concentrate on the stuff you want.

Yeah, accessing the DLC cars is always a pain in Forza games.
There should just be a "download/acquire all DLC cars" button.
I mean, you can repaint them at will, so just give us them in a manufacturer colour.

I'm not a huge drift fan and I'm glad that the drift events aren't mandatory. But getting really close to the end of a run and almost at 3 stars only to get hit by traffic...

Traffic is what kills the drift zones for me. Every time it starts to click, whammo.

And for those with the Warthog, should it show as Forza 3 content under "manage game"? I don't have it listed anywhere.

Are the servers totally fucked? Ever since this game launched I have been unable to join any online session the game found through matchmaking.

My daughter just spilled the beans to my wife that l spent 80 quid on a videogame, but it's not really the money investment, but the TIME, the map is starting to look like an Ubi game and l just have no idea what to do with it.
