Forza Horizon 4 (PC)

Scoot had the bug where it just kept downloading, he got to something like 130gb before restarting, again to like 100gb then 3rd time I think it installed, took him all day.
Quite a joke in this modern age.

It's shocking how bad it is. The likes of Steam and Origin, even Uplay would not allow there service to be this bad.

I started downloading at 8.30pm. By 11pm it had only done 25GB or so. I just left the PC on overnight. When the cat woke me up at 3.45am I got up to see that it had only done about 40GB and was now downloading at about 0.1 speed, which was ridiculous, but to make their system even worse the download page often doesn't refresh, so I did that and it had already finished thankfully.

Such a bad system. If you pause a download, then restart the PC it will error and you will have to do it again. That happened to me with Sea of Thieves. So I just leave the PC on now until it is done. How they think this is a good system and will attract buyers to their games is beyond me.
 
xbox app screenshots with game bar don't work at 4k for me as if if can't handle it they appear all sorts of weird sizes! I just print screen to one drive and then avf can't handle it :laugh:

Yes never exit store or pause really annoying, even when reinstalling a game previously deleted will get the bug but will install if just leave it. Thankfully mine was done in 3hrs on friday so only extra hour or so but pretty poor compared to steam etc.

Completed driving all roads this morning got stuck into doing it after just getting some races done and collecting for first few days.
 
This game is so close to being a masterpiece.

Overall it's pretty much perfect, the cars are stunning and all i've driven so far sound and handle brilliantly, the Escort RS is too much fun... the autumn visuals are some of the best graphics I've seen, the wet roads and cars really take the lighting effects to the next level. I'm running in almost 4k on ultra on a 1080 and with the exception of the odd jitter in a cutscene its buttery smooth.

I spent the best part of an hour having a slow drive to Bamburgh castle taking in the scenery and little details.

I haven't explored much of the map but yet to see any petrol stations/services which is a shame.

Yea "Turn 10 Studios" have gone ECO friendly now , and tuned the cars so they are all electric now .
 
Fuel usage and petrol stations to fill up would have been a sweet touch!

Anyone try the monthly rivals with the Senna? Add me on Xbox app (gmc79) if anyone wants a go. Can get addictive hammering a short circuit.

If you’ve used discount codes before they’ve put an account limit on them. I even tried just buying as a guest but it still knew from my PayPal account, it will show the discount but then charge full price once you confirm at the checkout, it’s very sneaky!

Really , the last time i used them was January and February , so is it only twice a year or so?

No, I emailed them thinking it was an error because obviously the amount you agree on PayPal is what you’d expect to pay but I got charged more and I’m not sure it’s stritcly speaking legal to say you are going to charge one amount to PayPal and then sneakily charging more after you’ve entered the PayPal details.

Anyway the email I got back was they could see I’ve used discount codes before and the Facebook codes are limited use and would no longer work for me ever.
 
That's odd as I've bought loads from CDKeys and the discount codes have always worked for me
Are you sure? On the PayPal page it will show it with discount but if you check what they actually charge it gets removed.

It’s only the Facebook code which does it, the site wide ones still work fine but they were claiming the Facebook ones are limited use.
 
Bought it anyways , for the sake of a pennies , wasn't going to twist ..
 
The best season of all is here, winter :clap:

Do you get to race the plow?
Ive a royal mail transit and its fantastic fun :D

Although it seems like ive gamed like 3 hours in the last 2 weeks . .stupid work.
 
Those screenshots are great and show how good that game looks.

They could be photos but it’s still the trees and foliage that give it away. They just can’t seem to make those lifelike.
 
I got out of the prologue yesterday and I was loving it, but after no crashes in the first five hours, yesterday I had five crashes to desktop. Not happy with that. I'll try again later though

strange i have played over 40 hours and not had one crash.
Really wonderful game, going on soon to check out winter not been on much this week.
 
Not sure if it helps , but setting the priority to high in the task manager - details
which is what i have done from the start ( had to do it with shadow of the tomb raider - so just carried on doing it ) and haven't had a crash yet ....



I read or watch the other day that the seasons change every seven days or so , does it change from you/i start the game or standard for every one , ( last time a played was thursday it was Autumn , fired it up this morning and it was winter ) i guess it changes friday or saturday for everyone in the world ??

Yeah same for everyone, in the menus somewhere it will say a countdown something like, spring in 5days etc.

I'll try that, plus closing everything in the background. I figure my computer can handle it but maybe the game doesn't like spotify and firefox being open.
Do you have to set the priority in task manager every time you start the game?
 
Not really a fan of the winter in the game shame we can't skip it.
The winter barn find was so easy tho, is there just one? I may not play again until it's over unless there is another barn find to get during winter.

I have done , i had to it with shadow of the tomb raider , and just carried on doing it , and yes i do it every time , just as the load splash screen pops up , i jump onto task manger and set it to high ..

im loving the winter bit , seems i can drive the car/s better in the ice ,
but that 1st barn find was a bitch to find for me in the winter -"mini" ( 2nd in total ) , spend a good while trying to find it , i guess i most of drove passed it a few times ( that was the 2nd find i had in the game ) and i have an other one while been in winter so that was number 3 for me - the "jaguar"

i just crossed the lake and happened to drive right up to it :rotfl:

I think i was just used to the look of other seasons, doesn't feel hugely different at least isn't actually a true winter grip level:laugh: was still hammering around in my Cossie powered RWD XR2 with winter tyres quite nicely.:D
