Forza Motorsport Xbox PC Gaming

[Gemma]

Looking forward to this one. Been a while since we had a Forza Motorsport title.

Out on the 10th of October for Xbox Series S, Series X and PC.

The game contains 500+ cars and 20 tracks.

The Builders Cup sounds interesting. I'd like a good campaign.

We also have a new track reveal

Still seems buggy even after the patch?

What's this bug about? I haven't noticed any issues while applying upgrades.

 

[Scotty G]

Still seems buggy even after the patch?

The game crashes (infinite loading loop) when applying upgrades and you lose some progress you had made previously. It happened to me 3 times after a race and took me back to the beginning of the series I was playing. And, of course, it stops you from applying upgrades to your car.

Still seems buggy even after the patch?

This also happened to me 3 times during the Sedan Series.

I've set the drivatar level at 8, full difficulty with no flashbacks etc and always a start position of 12, so it is quite a challenge (for me) to win races. I finished 3rd in the USA twice and 2nd in a rainy UK and each time the game crashed and needed a hard reset after applying upgrades.

I eventually finished 4th in both races and completed the series without any upgrades.

Really annoying bug! I'm still hugely disappointed with this game.

Still seems buggy even after the patch?

New patch (1.1) addresses the upgrades bug, apparently.

Turn 10 have released a hotfix patch to address a stability issue.

Here are the patch notes for 'Update 1.1' courtesy of the official Forza Motorsport support page - revealing "stability" has been improved, with the fix resolving an "infinite loading screen":

"We're continuing to work on your Forza Motorsport experience. Below you will find a summary of items that will be improved upon in Update 1.1. This hotfix is planned to roll out starting Tuesday, October 24."

"This hotfix will help mitigate an issue where players could encounter an infinite loading screen when saving a Quick Upgrade in the Builders Cup Intro Series under variable network conditions."

Forza Motorsport's second major update is on the way, and Turn 10 has revealed that the next patch will include over 200 fixes for the racing game.

In a blog on the Forza website, Turn 10 said it has been working on more fixes and improvements for the game "based on the top reported issues in the community" and that it wants to resolve issues with the game "as soon as possible."

Update 2 will also be Forza Motorsport's first content update for the game. It will begin rolling out to players in mid-November and will add the new track location, Yas Marina. Turn 10 says it also has "over 200 fixes lined up for this release," some of which have been detailed below:

Turn 10 Studios has announced Update 3 will arrive next week for Xbox Series X|S and PC and will be followed by Update 4 in "mid-January" 2024.

This time around racers can look forward to the iconic Hockenheim track (including three unique layouts), new Spotlight cars, new Featured Multiplayer series and Rivals events. Here's the entire rundown of everything that will be included in Update 3, courtesy of the official Forza website:

Update 3 will be available to download on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PCs and Steam starting early next week. Live content will begin to light up across the Career, Featured Multiplayer and Rivals from December 14, 2023.

New fixes coming in Update 3 will continue to improve the overall stability and performance of the game, alleviating some of the issues we're seeing players report most frequently on our community channels. The team is constantly hard at work on bugs, some of which are not immediately visible to players but are critical for game stability for all players.

Below you can find the highlights of what will be fixed or improved upon in Update 3. We'll share the full release notes next week on the Forza Support website once the update rolls out.

• Fixed issue in which the Driver Level visually appeared to reset to Level 1 after downloading Update 2 and entering Test Drive in Free Play.
• Rebalanced the impact on front and rear downforce when being drafted by another car.
• Fixed issue causing custom wheel input layouts to reset to their default settings after relaunching the game with both a controller and steering wheel connected to the PC or console.

We continue to put a focus on raising our overall quality on PC, as we know we have more work to do there. Here are some of the PC-specific improvements coming in Update 3:

• Stability and performance are improved on lower spec PCs.
• Fixed various random crashes in multiplayer races specifically on PCs with AMD GPUs.
• Reduced the occurrence of a bug where the track or other objects becomes invisible while racing.

We've also introduced new options in the Screen Narrator section of the Accessibility settings menu to narrate your race position and driver names ahead and behind you.

Well, this is my first Forza game and I can't say I'm overly impressed. I think I'm going to call it quits. I'm not having fun anymore and I'm barely two Tours in.
