Someone earlier in the thread (Powershift, maybe?) mentioned a Viper drift tune. I don't know why but I want to do the drift zones, which I've been avoiding like the plague as I find them pretty anti-fun, with a Viper. Is there a share code for the tune?

It wasn't me but i remember the conversation in FH4.

Use the FD viper, set the game to manual transmision and stay in 3rd or 4th gear.

Using an automatic in FH4 made it impossible to drift because it would constantly drop down to 1st or 2nd and kill your momentum. it holds the gear a little harder in this game but if you want to 3-star the asphalt drift zones you will probably need to go manual.

I've found the cars are also less likely to snap around in FH5. In a Formula Drift car you are far less likely for the back end to get ahead of you.



The big bois:


Horizon Arcade - Score target now scales based on number of participants
Horizon Arcade - Adjusted completion requirements for some Horizon Arcade events
Fixed issue where beating a record in Rivals and Series Rivals wouldn't provide a new rival in the post-race screen


e: Fixed issue where players could see incorrect points total in Playground Games events when a player left

they knocked me back to 255/263 in the series progress with only 6 points left to earn because of the 2 incompletable dailies a couple seasons ago, meaning i can now never get 100% completion. loving gently caress.

You still can't see the other duders doing horizon arcade but the numbers are actually achievable.

The "complete round 3 in X arcade events in Y time" accolades still don't activate.

My impossible Gatecrash time is still there

e: just did a few arcades, now they're almost TOO easy. did each in 4 minutes.

it's a real shame the leaderboards are so trashed with cheaters/bugs atm. the fastest legit laps are often slotting in around #20-60 globally, and a top 250 rivals time is usually a top 50-100

makes it pretty annoying to judge how i'm actually stacking up

I do not understand why they don't go in there and clean that poo poo up. It would literally take like an afternoon to remove every impossible time from every track, really should happen every week.

I got my boosters and a flu shot yesterday and I was way too out of it to race properly unfortunately

It's not even hard to figure out who are the cheaters.

Just search Powershift in the leaderboards and delete every time faster than it.

I suspect they'll try pretty soon. Reading those patch notes I'm guessing a lot of the cheated times are all related to the exploit section on the patch notes:

"Fixed an issue where players could tune their car to a higher class vehicle before starting a race

Fixed an issue where times from Blueprint events could be erroneously posted to the leaderboard for the race at that location

Fixed an issue where players were able to post to Rivals and PR Stunt leaderboards when using modified game speed settings"

lol. but your first statement is correct, it really isn't that hard. there are times that are possible and ones that are clearly impossible and usually the difference between the two is pretty extreme

Maybe they could direct their AI that does a perfect job eliminating offensive liveries to make a determination that sub-1 second lap times might be fraudulent.

Also Im hoping they just wipe the leaderboards at this point (or flag every run made before a certain date, etc). I really just want to know where I stand overall and thats impossible with how much trash is polluting the top.

Honestly it would be better to just reset them completely at this point. Maybe even just reset them every month when the seasons roll over. I'm not super interested in seeing the time from someone who hasn't logged in for six months, but having a new battle over the leaderboards each month sounds cool and good to me!

It would actually be cool to have a separate category where you get to use the exact car/tune that the rival who set the time used

The upcoming car pass cars are shown in the car pass calendar now and the Espada is the only thing that remotely excites me.

half of them already have nearly identical in-game cars. I don't think anybody was asking for a THIRD Audi TT

You can do wild poo poo with ramps and stuff in the normal blueprint races (non super 7) as well, you add props the same way.

Have you tried naming your event 10,000,000 CREDITS AND 250,000 XP IN 10 SECONDS!!!!!!

I got Double Time (2 events in 30 minutes) to work; I'm guessing they work like all the other timed accolades and reset if you fast travel during them. Which, uh, seems unfun for the 10 events in 5 hours one.

I got my first Horizon Arcade win this morning, an easy Drift set with one other player that we finished in about five minutes total, most of it driving to the last destination.

I don't see this in the patch notes, but I noticed that since updating, the game remembers from session to session that I turned my radio off, instead of setting it to Horizon Pulse every time I sign in. I wonder if it remembers your last-tuned station, too.

sometimes it never stops chugging.

Also, twice now the game went into endless saving after modifying a car.

they have broken something in the autosave system

When does the game auto save? Like should I not buy a car or whatever then quit to desktop right after?

Also I ran into the game chugging/performance degradation before the patch. It seemed to happen to me after playing for awhile. Restarting the game when it happens has been my “solution”. Also turning down some of the setting that eat VRAM because I’m running a 3060ti at 1440p 144 fps.

Hey there attempted Collosus clean time failure buddy. I did this exact same thing yesterday at the exact same spot, and in A class no less. If I can get past the half-way mark on the track the back-half isn't bad at all for keeping clean, but the front half of the track they put extended hard-rails on every corner so you literally can't push it and go a little off-road on any corners. I think I spent 4 hours last night trying before I finally gave up. They need statistics on how many times a race has been restarted halfway through, because I think if that were a leaderboard my Colossus attempts would put me at the top.

Gonna go try again tonight. Gonna get this or by god I don't know what I'm going to do.

This is my first forza game but here’s a pro tip: it’s easier to post clean laps if you lean into the turns irl. Then get increasingly tense the closer you are to the end.

Not just that, alas. For me at least, the game has kind of gotten more janky with the latest patch :smith: Game locked when I bought a house earlier. And just now locked when I picked up a gift car (on this one, I think I lost the gift car :smith: To the person who gifted me a car I didn't have, I thank you, but it was apparently not to be).

Edit: And then the game... loaded me into a car I didn't select? Go home, Forza, you're drunk.

They also acknowledged the bug that a time set in a blueprint event starting from a race start sometimes registers as a rivals time for the stock pi class of the car. they still haven't removed the times caused by this bug.

This was likely responsible for most of the false times.
