Oh cool. So the update changed the reward for finishing the Infiniti car collection (aka owning the one Infiniti in the game) to the "STONKS!" chat message. I had finished the collection already so it shows as claimed in the car collection screen but locked in the chat messages and I can't actually use it :lol:

Hmm, I got a message in-game that I'd been gifted 1000 forzathon points by the devs. But I still have 1055, which is how many I had yesterday.

Also, new fun bug: Horizon Arcade areas simply disappear once in a while, sometimes even when you're in them waiting to start. And then not reappear anywhere on the map.

The game gets stuck at "saving" after buying or modifying any car for me.

It's unbelievable the game could be released in such a state, even crazier that it took a month to make a patch that breaks it even worse

I definitely got mine today. I had to "download" them from the gift message but they definitely got delivered because I didn't have 2300+ before today :v:

If you need to provoke an autosave, you can teleport to home/festival and immediately exit the home/festival menu. The little white spinner in the bottom right will show up indicating the save.

There's probably an even easier way but this is one I've noticed is consistent

It appears to be a widespread issue, so should be fixed in the February update.

I think, though I’m not positive, that it’s counting the seasonal treasure chests as bonus boards in the tally. I have 252 now and there was another chest a few weeks ago.

After having tried horizon solo for the first time, I'm kinda skeptical that NPC traffic is actually working the way it's supposed to, in freeroam or street racing... I know solo mode spawns more NPCs and drivatars, but I was really surprised at how busy it was compared to horizon life, which feels pretty desolate. I see so few cars when driving down the highway for example, and they were definitely more common in FH4

Definitely a buggy update. Autosave after each seasonal championship race blackscreens for a minute or so until it dumps you back into free roam, and accepting a gift drop blackscreened me where I had to close FH5. Luckily, the car persisted in my inventory.

Hey All. Just started playing Horizon 5 last week. So far so good.

I'm pretty satiated for S1 and S2 stuff, I'm wanting to try lower tiers some more.

What are some fun/good cars in the B or lower rank to get? Leaning more towards retro/classics but open to anything.

Really loving the Forza 5 app not actually opening when I click it, only to figure out there is an update I have gotten no notice of, nor information about being downloaded.

Except when opening Microsoft Store it just sits there as a failed download that I had to manually restart.

Real high-quality UX there Microsoft...

Give the Peugeot 205 T16 a shot, it's great fun for rally races and also surprisingly fun at street races too. There's a FE with a nice spoiler as well but that doesn't seem to be in 5 yet?

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.

They appear to have upped the spawn frequency (or maybe it just shows you a couple after you finish one?)

Either way, nailed it -

Just over 2 hours for 10 drift events. I think 8 of them I did purely solo, some other guys showed up for a couple of them. Made it slower.

So uh, when you update the game on PC, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT PAUSE THE DOWNLOAD. My potato-speed internet seemed like it crapped out on the 15 gig download halfway through, so I decided to try to pause and resume to kick it into gear.

As soon as I paused, the download disappeared entirely from the install queue window and trying to launch FH5 again brought up a "FH5 is on a device that's offline" error. Now I get to download the entire 102 gigs again :shepicide:

They are on the map for 10 minutes instead of 5 before they start so there are always new ones on the map when you finish the last.

And yeah, it’sa good thing each individual’s goal is so easy because you have to put these dudes in your back and carry them.

Trailblazers and drift zones seem to be around one 3 star run per person. I’ve still had to make 4 runs.

It seems:

Bank skill chain: 150,000 points per person(ezpz) down from 900k per group
Trailblazer: 1 3 star run per person, down from 4-10 runs per group
Drift zone: 1 3 star run per person, down from 8-12 runs per group
drift to destination: 250,000 points per person, down from 2m+ per group
pinata smash: 10 pinatas per person, down from ~100 per group
Mini-missions: 5 per person, down from 40 per group
Limit breaker: still sucks
drift/air/wreckage skills: 15 per person, down from 100+ per group

The Toyota reward in this week's festival pointsathon whateveritscalled is a ton of fun and highly recommended, don't let it go by! You can't buy it at the in-game dealership.

I believe it starts in C-class and begs for more pep, but it's still a fun drifter out of the box. I have mine just barely into A class now (largely because putting drift tires on the car raised its rank by like 80, for whatever reason) and it is, far and away, my new drift car.
