No one is real in free roam unless you're in online free roam.



Can you get skill songs on groove music station?

So were they AI drivers? how do you get them to want to do a convoy again?

Just asking because you have mentioned it, I unlocked the Groove station, it said there was a free trial and no need to enter credit card info, I thought Groove was like iTunes, just something to store music on digitally, not something you have to pay for?

Where's my damn Warthog!

I have the UE, like you (so are playing now?) I only started playing yesterday as I didn't get chance Friday, people have been getting codes this last week and I was asking as I had not got a code, it did show up late yesterday in the message area on my actual XboxOne dashboard, I think that the codes are just going out and as the game is not actually out until tomorrow they are just going to keep pushing the codes out I guess, I don't know if they have said there is a cut off date?

I did play through Halo 5, but as I mentioned the other day Halo 5 doesn't show up on my games list anywhere, for some reason :/

 

[lem0n]

Is that where you get some drivers with orange icons around their gamertag? I had some this evening and something flashed up on the screen about doing a convoy to someplace, I didn't know what to do, they followed me for a little bit and I tried to follow them, I didn't click on the (X) button, it just all disappeared, I was on my way to something else, so I didn't take part.

I have to say that the Koenigsegg Regera is WOW! what a weapon, the right trigger is not so much a accelerator but a hyperspace button, the Koenigsegg One:1 is faster but the way the Regera moves along the road without any gear changes is something else.

Did Chris Harris say this? Sounds like he did, lmao.

 

[Apoleptica]

For those still without a warthog I remember reading somewhere earlier in this thread that there will be an event in game October that will allow everyone to get it. Apparently even if you haven't played any of the halo games.

 

[BFIB]

Just played the demo. Damn, what a gorgeous game!

 

[TheAdmiester]

So were they AI drivers? how do you get them to want to do a convoy again?

If you were offline, then yes. To get them back just beep at them and they'll beep back, you'll see their name go orange. You can have up to four people with you for a convoy of five.

 

[0racle]

WOAH !!!!

I just got a 1 000 000 + combo !!!!!

in regards to using those upgrade points what is the best method to allocate them?

I saw under the "skill" tree for...uhh...skill...there is a Lamborghini car that costs 30 points that is right in the middle of the top upgrade path.

is that the ONLY way to get that car? why is it locked behind so many points? is it crazy good?


EDIT** its the lamborghini murcielago LP 570 and requires 30 points !

No I have redeemed the code, just don't have it in game. Plus I keep seeing a few driving around in the outback taunting me

Same, redeemed by code the day the UE came out, and still haven't been able to use it.

I can't see my warthog in Ready to Install list. I redeemed it before the demo was released and it now is attached to the demo not the real game.

 

[psychotron]

Seems I'm getting some stuttering even free roaming. Most recently it was when I earned a spin, game froze for a split second. This happening to others?

 

[LoveCake]

Did Chris Harris say this? Sounds like he did, lmao.

Not about the Regera, no journalist has driven one yet that I have seen, I have seen video of Christian von Koenigsegg driving it Chris Harris and Jezza Clarkson have used "hyperspace peddle" before about various cars.

It just feels strange when driving because of the lack of gear up-shifts and it just keeps getting faster and faster, the real car must be on another level when driving.

If you were offline, then yes. To get them back just beep at them and they'll beep back, you'll see their name go orange. You can have up to four people with you for a convoy of five.

So just blow horn at another drivers, to start a convoy? they really should have had C.W. McCall - Convoy
cut into the radio station when this happens, I will admit to having the La Cucaracha horn

No I have redeemed the code, just don't have it in game. Plus I keep seeing a few driving around in the outback taunting me

Is it not in the DLC message tab in the game?

Have you posted in the official forums about it, there seems to be a lot with issues.

By stuttering do you mean the screen sort of blurs for a slight second? I have had this whist driving, some of the cut scenes and also when scrolling fast through the menus. (on XboxOne)

 

[h3ro]

One day I'll get a Horizon Edition on a spin. One day.

Until that day, I'll continue getting 5,000Cr.

I get the occasional hitch, yeah, though its never affected play, and I've never noticed it in any events, just in free-roaming the open world. And music stations sometimes skip, stutter or loop, especially when the DJs make announcements. Xbox version here.

Feel your pain but mine are 5,000. Credit cars that I can't give away

 

[desu]

Not that it matters, has nothing to do with skill just with time/patience as you can get the scores by just driving in circles.

Also skill points per streak are limited to 3 and exp to 12,5k. So getting high scores is kind of pointless.

My VIP isn't working but at least I won 2 Horizon Edition cars...the HE GT-R is so good.

Try 2,000 dude.

 

[DarkestHour]

*shakes fist at drifting PR stunts*

 

[h3ro]

Try 2,000 dude.

The 5,000cr is usually after the VIP double lol

Also the AH is vicious! Almost snagged a Focus HE for cheap and before you know it, the car went for 1.5Mill.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

The worst is when they show you what that other guy on your friends list won. I know I'm about to get screwed.

 

[TheKeyPit]

30 minute race put me up 9 levels. 256k credits directly from the race, then 1,000,000 and a BMW M6 from the prize spins i got from said 9 levels.

That's without an XP Boost Car :O Would've given +100k XP.

 

[eek5]

So were they AI drivers? how do you get them to want to do a convoy again?

Just drive behind them and honk (for me it is R3 since I have manual on with x/b shifting)

 

[Daffy Duck]

I love this game but I hate the forced progression, i am on my third showcase event now and instead of letting me continue with other events until I want to progress further it now removes all other events from my map and forces me to do the showcase event.

Lame.

I thought this with the second showcase event, but I did something to make the other events appear back on the map again, I just can't remember what I did to make that happen. I apologise!

 

[Lego Boss]

I've just done Zorbs final champ Eco v Impreza race in the Outback. Ten laps of that, amazing lighting, peerless drifting, the change from dusk to dawn.

Can l say that was one of the finest videogame experiences of recent times? Spectacular.

Of course l won in my GSR . . .

 

[Daffy Duck]

But I'm the boss and it's my festival!

 

[TheKeyPit]

But I'm the boss and it's my festival!

And you need to do these cool Showcase Events to gather a lot of additional fans for your festival

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Okay I'm dumb. How do I get my chat headset working properly?

As soon as i plug it in I lose all sound from my speakers and nothing else happens (on PC).

 

[deoee]

This game looks stunning at night:

 

[FlammableAce]

I have decided I'm going to bite the bullet. Does anyone know the best way to buy it from the Hong Kong store?

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

So I redeemed the warthog code. Where is it (playing on pc)

 

[Uraizen]

Where's my warthog on PC? I redeemed it and it's nowhere to be found. =(

what really?

what is the cut off point? ive been going for high score in attempts to get skill points. if the max is 3 per run ill just stop after I cross that threshold.

 

[DrBo42]

The AI really feels like bullshit in this game lol. There's one race in the outback where the suggested drive path is in the dirt next to this small blacktop strip running the length of it. AI are all in the dirt in classic sport cars getting better acceleration than me while I'm on the blacktop the entire time. Water doesn't effect their handling either. Boo.

 

[Bravoexo]

Redeeming the Warthog or the Pre Order AMG only worked in the Xbox One...after installing, and switching over to the PC did they finally show up. (The AMG is still showing a Marketplace error on Win10, but at least I can drive it around... if I switch cars, I'd have to go back to the Xbox one if I wanted to go back to the AMG. )

It kinda does. I wish we could tune AI to a degree similar to sports games so I could get it just right for me. For now I'll see if I can get good enough to get 1st place on expert I keep getting second.

Convoying with Warthogs in Yarra Valley and/or the sand dunes is amazing.

 

[T.O.P]

Got all the signs on the coast, took me only an hour to get the jumps right :|

Anyway, I remember seeing another couple wich were too fuckin hard for me atm so I just skipped them, gonna go back tomorrow and screenshot wich I'm referring to, tips needed badly

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Is there no way to get Shadowplay working in-game? The win+g and bringing up a menu stuff sucks. I tried remapping to alt+F9, alt+12 like Shadowplay but it says those are in use. The menu taking over what you're doing, so you come to a complete stop, is terrible.

 

[Xater]

I wish I could do that...

*waits patiently for this Warthog situation to be resolved*

 

[Robobandit]

I just bought a warthog off the auction for 325k.. now I have a warthog on PC lol

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Best racing game ever BTW, and I don't say that lightly. Major props to Playground and Turn10!

I just bought a warthog off the auction for 325k.. now I have a warthog on PC lol

I was going to do that but then I would be broke lol. I can wait, I'm loving my tuned Focus RS for now!!

 

[NullPointer]

Man, I fucking the love the Nomad, but I really don't see its better launch, acceleration and handling in some of these outback buggy races, especially the confined ones with a lot of tight turns and bumping.

Its a fucking beast out in the open wild, but it slides like nobody's business. Have had to switch out vehicles to feel competitive. Hope its not just AI cheapness and I end up getting smoked by NPC Nomads ;p
