Done the Goliath circuit, so fun, two laps in 20 min leveled up nine times, so satisfying.
Goliath Circuit, unlocks after you level up Byron Bay festival to level 5, a very long circuit, do it multiple laps with a double XP horizon edition car and it'll pay itself in half an hour.

Ok wtf man vip membership stopped working now wth playground? I'm driving the Ford Falcon and it's asking me to buy the car when I get into a race as it's part of the vip membership. How can it be so bad? How are you asking me to buy something which I'm using? Crown is also gone. Im an idiot for pre ordering this.
The game is fucked in more ways than one. Really disappointed with this game all around because of shitty issues like this.
Would not recommend anyone buying this at launch. Especially PC people.
Wait what playground removes VIP? Even outside of it?

My main "all rounder fun" car right now is a X class 2017 Ford GT.
What a beast.
I can get up to 430 km hour with it lol.
The sense of speed and acceleration in this game is awesome. Specially the sense of pushing the pedal to the ground, it's a feeling a never got with any other racing game, if you now what I mean.

That's really strange considering they just fixed most of the VIP issues on both XB1 and PC..
Nah they really didn't. My game is still completely fucked too.
Is it just me or is the supercharger whine and gearbox whine not in the game?
I mean, turbo spool and BOV can be heard quite clearly when upgrades are applied but when installing a roots supercharger or race gearbox...no sound upgrade...
Wiswell !!
Wilson !!
Where art thou?

I said "Most". I also wouldn't characterize not having VIP working as the game being 'completely fucked' but that's just me.

It baffles me how they can make such an amazing open world racer but can't fix things like this. I pre ordered the game, got no pre order bonus car as I was promised still to this day, VIP membership wasn't working the first two days so I missed out on hundreds of thousands of extra credits and now it stopped working again. Get your shit together Playground, I paid 80 pounds for this game.
I'm not even mentioning the horrible stuttering that makes the game feel like playing an online game with incredibly bad lag, the terrible performance in some parts and the constant crashes.
It seems to be a licensing/server side issue to do with the store, but yeah I agree. I was just saying it was weird for it to be not working again after Helios said twice they had fixed it on both PC and Xbox. It's also the second consecutive Horizon game this has happened, so it's a shame to see them not learn from last games mistake.
True, but he didn't mention he was having those issues. I've seen a lot of PC players have those issues, but I've also seen a lot of them who are playing the game fine so yeah it's hard to tell who is struggling to run it and who isn't

Can anyone post some ingame pictures of the audi S1? Also how do I get this game cheap, 59,99 on the store is just brutal.

Can you change the colour/style of your numberplate?
Or is that only different on HE version of cars?

Just select at the bottom the region you bought it from. The time converts to your time.
So if I bought it in the Singapore store I need to use Singapore store?

Double credits is not as useful as double xp, sell it and use the money to buy a double xp car, more xp = more level = more wheelspin = more money (vipx2).

I'm never going to make the GAF club, too many side distractions in this game. Save me a spot for when I eventually get there ;_;
You can be invited if before the club unlocks.
You can change the letters/numbers but the gold is HE
Seeing as I'm home sick today I decided to see how far I can push it.
One hour race and my hand gave up

The Range Rover SVR has a noticeable whine if you look back or go on bonnet cam, I'm not sure if it's baked into the engine sound but it's there. But yeah, I think the supercharger conversion mod might be missing its sound.

Leveling up is a flat 20k exp per level?
The invite will show up after multiplayer becomes available.

Seems that way.
What was that? "Anything goes" ? What difficulty setting?
Pro tip if you can't get your mic to work on pc, ("we can't find your microphone" error)
Make sure the apps actually have permission to use your microphone in the Windows 10 Settings > Privacy > Microphone menu.
one issue i do have with horizon 3 is that the volume sliders ingame do nothing.
I can't say there is a difference between 10 and 1 on those sliders.
on top of that. I would like to suggest changing the sliders to the 1-100 style ones that you have in forza motorsport 6:Apex, instead of the 1-10 style that is currently in Horizon 3.
side note, kind of frustrating that the game itself does not have a slider in the windows volume mixer, I'm sure there is a reason for UWP's to not have volume control in the regular windows mixer, but it sure would have come in handy in a situation like this.
Yay, my stuff is working now.

It's ok
Wait how does this track work? Why was it an hour?
I still don't have my Warthog?
Does the fix take some time or...?
You need to wait for the YP version as a gift!
It's an hour because each lap takes about 10-12 minutes for me.

I have multi unlocked and haven't seen an invite. Maybe I have missed it?
Does the club owner need to send it, who is it?
You selected a class with a lot of slow vehicles (cult classics), and unfortunately the AI can't take advantage of engine swaps, so they can't match the PI levels you can get to with engine swaps
Ok then let me explain how else it is fucked.
Game crashes to desktop consistently. I am unable to hold 30fps even at the lowest settings on a capable rig without massive frame drops and stuttering. Yesterday neither versions of my game would load because the data could not be synced. I ended up losing about an hour of progress. During my first street race I went across the finish line in 1st but the game didn't recognize that so it stayed at 99% and I kept driving until it reset me to finish the race...in last place. This happened twice.
Should I go on? The game has serious issue that I would certainly describe as making the game completely fucked. Turn10 should be embarrassed about this.

Oh waw thank you so much, these are amazing!
Oh that makes sense, I thought you came up with some crazy map which covers the whole map.
For you! I played 35h+ with two crashes and vip not working in the first evening. If anything there are certainly performance issues as there are weird drops when playing at 60fps. On 30fps I only have very rare stutter, mostly connected to having alt tabbed out of the game before that.
Didn't you say you wanted to get a refund anyway?
At this point I would prefer a refund but I bought the game from Newegg. Just because the game is working for you doesn't mean that there aren't loads of people having serious, unacceptable issues.
Well it does. Kinda.
