Forza Horizon 5 |OT| Are you a Mexican, or a Mexican't?

Hmmm how would I do it where it is just the screen shot with out the igmur app surrounding the picture?
If you're on your phone;

Hold your thumb on the image in the imgur app until a menu appears, click copy, on GAF click the little photo image next to the Bold and Italics signs, paste into the box, post.

I wonder if the steam familly sharing will open up..my gf wants to play but she can't with her steam account, i wonder it's because it's not officially out yet !?
 
Only reason I asked was because there is an achievement. Sounds like something that would frustrate me tbh
The only reason I was playing it lol. Achievement did unlock randomly much later when I was getting XP boards so that's done thankfully.

Hm, I tried to both set my windows region to New Zealand and my VPN to NZ but it still says this will unlock in 12 hours (on steam)

Any ideas? :[
On Steam I don't know, would probably be the steam region settings you need to change.
 
God damn it, I want to love this game, but without the adaptive triggers of Dualshock 5 driving games feel sooooo much less satisfying.

I wonder if DS5 works with PC version.
 
The game looks good but for a next-gen game I'm really let down by the aggressive LOD pop in in performance mode. Quality mode has too much blur... (Series X here)


But its still super fun as horizon 4 always was.

Are these issues present on Series S?
 
Urgh getting that texture loading bug. Sure, extreme settings seem to fix it but then it's too much for my 1660ti it seems. Getting low vram warnings and bad performance to boot.

Anyone know how we can force the game to rerun that "optimising for your PC" thing. While fiddling around the settings I once got it to rerun after I switched to high texture and geometry, and I somehow the texture bug was not there. Then I stupidly tried on Ultra and the bug returned.

And people saying it looks like an X1 game, SMH. Great shots by the way.

Thanks! I won't be taking any more pictures as I refuse to play in non-HDR. The game looks so amazing with it.

To be fair this is PC with absolute max settings. Regardless, game looks great on Series consoles as well.
 
I really wish they would ditch the lame story and characters in this series. The whole "hey pal, you're awesome!" vibe these games have is so cringy. The mexican characters in this game come off as cartoon characters.

"Hey friendo, I used to race my papi after we ate Pozole de Pollo o Guajolote for dinner."

Why not add rivals and teams that you race against like in NFS or Midnight Club? It would the game so much more compelling.
 
Finally uncovered every road on the map, as per usual I was missing a tiny sliver of road in the middle of nowhere. I love how long some of these drift zones are.

I won the Aventador on a spin and put some time into tweaking this livery I originally made in Forza Motorsport 5. It's based off Samus Aran's gunship used in Return of Samus, Super Metroid and Metroid Prime 2: Echos. The higher resolution for the liveries in the new game really makes the added body lines pop. I still have a few things left to adjust since I have a lot more layers available in the new game along with masking shapes.

Interestingly, the same livery saved in groups does not line up properly on the Aventador Superveloce, even the paintable areas differ on it so I'll have to start over from scratch.

Can you import pngs into the livery editor?
 
When is the Forza shop opening?

Also, better do this now before it's patched.

I just hopped on and got a notification that somebody name Gavin gifted me a barn find. Cool! This is first time I've received a gift car.

I expected to get a pink weeabo anime car, but instead it was this ultra-manly 1945 Willys MB Jeep!

I know, they have like anime faces on them. Wtf

The livery editor and I go way back. I still remember spending hours making Caveman Jessica Alba. The in-game resolution in the new game has me spending a lot more time in the booth again, something I haven't done much since Motorsport 5.

For PC players, any recommendation on whether I should enable FXAA (in addition to 4x MSAA). I definitely have the spare horespower, but I'm not sure if it would soften the image too much.
 
Two questions:
For the festival playlist, the car restriction - do you have to be on the number exactly? So if it says "Audi - S2 998" does that mean any Audi that's EXACTLY 998 or any Audi S2 that's below 998?

Secondly, what's the best way to do photos / screenshots on XSX? I don't want to share (don't even know how that works) I just want to take a screenshot of the photo I took without any UI.
 
this game desperately needs dlss. Would solve both the aliasing and vram issues. 2 birds 1 stone. Really confused as to why they didn't use it all things considered and if it really is because of msoft's arrangement with AMD (🤮) then at least try FSR. The texture pop in on even the "high" environment and geometry settings is so obnoxious and using the extreme settings makes my game stutter a lot because of the vram load. Not exactly on an ancient computer here - rtx 2070, ryzen 3600 - and it seems impossible to find a decent performance/image quality compromise.

The number is the top range I believe so you just need the class (s2), and if you only have an A then you can apply a tune to make it an S1.

Press up on the DPad for photomode, hide the UI then just use the xbox screenshot button on the controller
 
Played about 10mins on XBX before work and the game looks amazing! I hate motion blur and turn it off on every game but it adds something to this game. Can't wait to give it a proper go.

Outstanding. (y)
 
Alright, after ten hours of fucking around: why are the tutorials in this game non-existent? There is a lot of content that I guess they'll spoon feed to you. . .even though most of it is available right from the start.

God damn it, I want to love this game, but without the adaptive triggers of Dualshock 5 driving games feel sooooo much less satisfying.

I wonder if DS5 works with PC version.

I was thinking this playing last night using a Dualsense. This is absolutely the game for it, but I can see them not being interested in supporting features of their rivals tech.
 
For solo racing I like to search for tuning setups with the best handling stats instead of speed. It keeps the first half of the race interesting with clean racing and making passes with superior cornering. The AI might catch up for a bit on the straights but eventually leave them way behind after enough corners.

I find it a bit more entertaining than smashing my way into first with a high speed car and then just being in first for the rest of the race. That can get kind of boring.
