I am not paying anyone to help them....

I can't wait to get this game, how is the load times on it so far??
I am doing Dirt 2 for a time being Fix, 1 week, just 1 more week to wait..

2nd BTW...

I am getting unreadable disc error on cd2 even though it installed to my hard drive ok I did place one of the cds on top of the other thinking I had removed the cd but cd seems fine. I tried it again then tells me to insert disc 1 which I do and tells me incorrect disc1

I will try again just wont tell it to install cars from cd2 as I have already installed it to the hard drive and that is when I am getting the problem.

downloaded the vip and extra cars/track dlc (sidewinder proving ground) But i couldn't see it on the track list? Will it only become visible on the release day?
Or am I blind

[crazzy kopite]

Got 15 gamer points already and it is showing in my gametag.
My best lap was 1.18 not great really

I have chosen the Ford Zetec as my first car.

[Nuttynutter123]

Lovin the game!!

Says install disc 2 in the menu does this mean I dont have it installed to my hard drive? I know I installed it to my hard drive as disc 1 and 2 are under my game lists and says play from hard drive.
Whenever I try and install it from the game menu or launchng the game from the dashboard it says insert disc 2 otheriwise I wont get the extra cars and maps so I put disc 2 in and after a few seconds it says install disc1 which I do but get told incorrect disc 1.

When I get the above message I find I can't go to the dashboard and the cd tray wont open, I can't turn it off from the controller either.

Dont know whether to install the DLC or VIP stuff now or wait until thursday/friday will it work just now?

You have lost me.

I have installed both discs, I put disc one in and hit A and into game I go.

Downloading DLC as I type...453 Mb

Dont put disk 2 in and install it on its own, you need to run Forza3 first.

Install disk 1 (if you are installing that to your hd: requires 6.8gb), then run forza3 then when it says install disk2 put it in and let it read it. Select advanced and select all the car packs (1.9GB) it will then install (you see a different screen with a % indication etc)




I have redeemed my vip + dlc codes and installed them

[Nuttynutter123]

crazzy, you need to load the game up with disk 1, then at the main menu click install disk two.. it will then tell you to put disk 2 in...it will installed it, then tell you to put in disk one again... from that point disk 2 is worthless.

if you install disk 2 from the dash it dont work.

hope this helps

I've redeemed both the codes that come with the LCE, but I can't seem to find the Premium Theme that is supposed to be included. Anyone else able to find it, or will it only be available from Friday?

I'm absolutely loving this game, and it's already handed out 150G for my 17 achievements unlocked. I think it's possibly a slightly more forgiving game than Forza 2, but it still has that feeling of satisfaction when you make that perfect overtaking move.

Thanks the mistake I made was install both cd's to my hard drive but after deleting disc 2 from my hard drive and going into the game it seems fine.
I played one race finished 3rd with my Fiesta Zetec should I start again as there might be better cars to race with or just carry on.

I am not a huge driving game fan but enjoying this game so far with the scenary, car damages and AI making mistakes and flipping their cars upside down due to taking corners too fast.

Yes as I have found out to my delight. Thought you would be able to install everything and off you go.

Had to delete disc 2 installed and go into game and follow above.

Nothing about this in the manual, this going to confuse some people.

[thelegendofyrag]

I hope my missus ordered me a copy! What difficulties are you all playing on? Sounds like the Zetec S is the better car to start with?

[J.C.]

My LCE was despatched by GAME on the weekend,hopefully if Spanish post don't lose it *nervous lol* I will have it by Friday,then I can crack on with kicking your asses on the lap times!

GHR JC if anyone wants to add me

[C225]

I was looking for the theme aswell with the LCE edition cant seem to find it.

[Nuttynutter123]

i started with the zetec..and havent had to buy a car yet lol.. on my second season.. so far using all the cars i have won... i did upgrade the zetec a little bit at some point though.
the disk 2 thing is a bit silly isnt it really. its no biggy in the end though.

i am using manual, all assist off except abs...no driving line

It seems to be a common problem. Possibly because we have the game so early. More info here: Forzamotorsport.net Forums - problem with the limited collector's edition add-on content

Bet you cant wait to get on the photograph shopfront.

(or whatever its called)

The first AVF race video upload is gonna be an event!

Where are they hosted, does it go to youtube or forza.net

[C225]

I started with ABS only with automatic and braking line on the new tracks while i get used to them.

I set the AI to medium but i might put it up as i'm winning easily.

Also started with the Fiesta Zetec S

Am I right in thinking the video upload is limited to 30s? Can anyone explain how it works?

Yes it is limited to 30secs

Not tried it yet but will give it a go soon

Installing mine as we speak.

The AI may as well not even be there when set to medium. They just turn into annoying road blocks for the first couple of corners, breaking too early. They also have a habit of attaching themselves to one of your rear corners until you veer off road.

Not a bad game so far, but not really much of an improvement over FM2 if i'm honest. The visuals are better, but still have a rather over saturated cartoony appearance to them.

I need to buy a wheel for this though as whilst it works OK, it's rather unsatisfying using the pad.
