Forza Horizon

I sometimes remember the weirdest things, and then other times I cannot remember which hand is my right hand.

Anyway, I remembered that you can play Forza Motorsport 2 with multiple Xbox 360 consoles, multiple monitors and multiple copies of the game to get up to 6 screens! So I Googled it and it was apparently not that popular at all.

However, this article came up and it looks pretty cool! Even though it is for Forza 3.

I thought it could inspire others to get into the triple screen game :wink: Geddit? Game? Meh.

I donā€™t like that you can no longer sell your cars, besides in the auction. I have a few doubles that I wanna get rid of which I have tried to do so numerous times on auction with no luck. And some cars you just canā€™t auction, nor gift.

Or is it just me?

Why canā€™t you gift them?

Iā€™ve gifted all my double cars.

I think itā€™s because theyā€™re barn find cars.

Not just you, and I think the suggestion that itā€™s a Barn Find is the reason. I have 2 Jag XJR-15s - one from the Barn Find, one from completing a Super 7 I think. Canā€™t gift them and they do not even show when you go to try sell cars at the Auction House.

Exactly the same scenario, same cars even.

Thatā€™s a sucky one. Luckily I havenā€™t gotten double barn find cars yet.

FFS useless piece of R999ā€¦ that 5mil house is not ā€œworkingā€ at the moment, no wheelspin yet and I am not alone.

Iā€™m sure one bug doesnā€™t quite qualify it as a ā€œuseless piece of R999ā€ā€¦ Especially considering the amount of content in the game. :smiley: Also, did you buy it (for R999), or are you just playing on Game Pass (like I suspect 99% of people are doing)?

:stuck_out_tongue: i have it on gamepass. Also if it was just that I would not say anything, and I would just let it go, however! since launch, me, my brother, and a friend of ours have had: multiple crashes, daily forza playlist quests not progressing, eliminator bugs where we could not challenge anyone, or be challenged, there are still massive convoy issues of dropping in and out, I have crashed through the map multiple times. This, THIS is the reason I am a bit annoyed, when a AAA company who has made the same type of games for years now, release a game for R999 and is this problematic then it is not acceptable , I shall grumble at this game until they fix it.

Also I just want to mention I do really really like this game, this is why I complain, it could be perfect if not for these bugs that should not be here, coming from a company of such stature.

Also Also, I know other companies have done the same with their game releases, I know the ā€œmetaā€ of today is to release bug ridden games, but I actually care about FH5 since I had such a good time with FH4, and the game itself is really great, I love the customization I love the radio stations, the look, the feel of the cars are really really well done, but the price just doesnā€™t match the bugs, even if I did not pay it, I feel sorry for people who did.

I gotta agree. My experience on PC has not been smooth sailing either. Nice game, and Iā€™m sure itā€™s perfect on the Xbox Series. Itā€™s still neat that it launched on PC though.

I havenā€™t really touched the multiplayer aspects of the game, but for me itā€™s been nothing but rock solid. Granted, I havenā€™t put in nearly as much time into the game as I suspect you have. One also needs to consider that a game of this size, with the boatloads of content it has and the overwhelming number of global players hammering their servers, would undoubtedly have some niggles needing sorting post launch.

Being in the software industry myself, I can attest to the pure unpredictability that scale can bring. As much as they playtest the game before launch and as polished and perfect as it may seem then, there will always be bugs, fringe cases and hardware configurations that they just couldnā€™t anticipate.

I personally applaud Playground and Turn 10 for what they managed to build and deliver - itā€™s an absolute showcase of technical and artistic mastery. The fact that the game scales so well and beautifully to such a wide variety of hardware configurations is testament to their dedication and proficiency.

you are not wrong sir, being in IT i have also experienced that, even on the exact same PCs things can differ, I also have had previous experiences with other games where everyone else was having problems yet I was fine, so i am aware of the RNG of of computing and software, think i am just also irked by having spent time getting to 5mil and then the payout that I was promised was not there, however I am sure it will be fixed in the future and after a few patches I will turn 180 and scream at people to get this game, but for now! I shall exclaim my disappointment for how I am currently experiencing it :stuck_out_tongue:

Itā€™s not!

Iā€™ve had lots of bugs on my Series X.

How do I get rival recommendations? I have none under ā€œmy rivalsā€

I had a few for @SlinX but now have none.

I actually launched the game to see if I could figure it out, but I got super distracted trying to do the weekly challenges for like an hour and then I had to go sleep lol.

I did check rivals and I had nothing under ā€œmy rivalsā€ either. Iā€™m pretty sure you just have to beat a rivals time on any random track and it will pop a notification for the person you beat. If you beat them, they will get the notification under their ā€œmy rivalsā€.
Pretty sure thatā€™s how it works.

BTW, Iā€™m down for another convoy session this weekend or whenever. Maybe not on @oltman and @DarthMolā€™s super official ā€œrealā€ pretend vroom vroom racecar day :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
