Forza Horizon 4

[Blerpa]

Game is full of stupid design choices that render navigation in the menu or progress annoying at times.
Like when you are playing online and you have 40 seconds (totally not enough) to choose a car and the game does not have a single icon, colour or symbol to tell you if a car has road, rally or whatever else kind of tyres on.
Totally stupid.

Also, we have had many crazy race results lately: both Trial or seasonal events.
Sometime we did clearly lose and yet the game deemed we won (even adding up the points it did not suffice to guarantee a win).

Oh yeah, the "you're not in winter, but the adventure you just got dropped into is, and hell if we'll tell you if the car you're picking has snow tires or not" thing, I haven't figured out why they still haven't fixed that. I got lucky, the Sesto Elemento I picked had snow tires, so between that, the tons of downforce and AWD it was a good pick.

On the plus side, that free-for-all adventure I did with the Sesto was a lot of fun. There were really only three of us vying for the wins, me in the Lambo, one guy in an CLK-GTR, and another in an Elise GT1, and all three of us were the clean racing types so you could get really close to each other in the corners and trust that the other driver wasn't going to do something obnoxious. For all the shitty online races I've had, the good ones like that make up for 'em.

Upcoming series changelist.

https://support.forzamotorsport.net/...uary-13th-2020

tl;dr

• New cars added to the Elminator, one per level from 2-10 - Top Gear Track-Tor, MB Unimog, Mini X-Raid, Hummer open top, Quartz Regalia Type D, Warthog, Jeep Wrangler DD, Funco F9, and Isha's Offroad Taxi.
• New Showcase Remix with Isha's Taxi vs. the Delta Wing
• New Showcase Remix for the Motocross one

Notable Fixes (as chosen by me):

• Improved loading time for Eliminator for initial load and when upgrading a car
• "Drastically" improved load times when starting the game on PC when all DLC is installed.

Nice!
They also are adding the next Toyota - the '85 Trueno. I can only imagine how many you'll be seeing on the first week it's available

So if you guys are interested, my buddy and I were going back and forth on a Speed zone (Oldweir - southwest of Mudkicker Adventure park).
I posted up a Mosler MT900S tune, titled 'SpeedZoneTune', or something like that. Give it a shot. I think we're both top 500 at the moment. It's pretty addicting!

[Blerpa]

LOL I'll look into it.

I'm excited about all the new cars coming in the game... well, who cares about the Hummer Open Top, but it's ok.
Too bad most of the fixes are Eliminator-related :/

Can confirm the PC version loads much faster. In two ways: between the press A in the menu to the available "continue" button, and then from the "continue" button to gaining control in-game.

Took five tries until finally got a team that barely squeaked out a win on the Trial. Playground's netcode just is not up to the task of handling cross-country online races with drivatars, I don't know how many times I saw cars glitching into me or other drivers.

That said, I put up a 2015 Macan Turbo setup that works pretty well. It's hideously ugly, but it's maybe a little faster than most of the drivatars in a straight line and can actually take the corners.

One other note, if you're like me and keep the driving line assists on because you can't be arsed to memorize cross country courses, that last turn after the football pitch in the final race is way more of a corner than the line thinks it is. Brake way earlier than it says, almost everybody goes off on that one and there are a bunch of trees on the outside of the turn just waiting to ruin your day right before the finish line.

[Blerpa]

Yeah, Trial was problematic this time around.
Me and mate had the Macan 2019 (one of the best, if not the best, SUV in the game), better than the already good 2015 model and struggled with it.
Didn't help the fact our teammates were asses.
At third try we succeeded.

Also, I cannot fathom what brings people to online races, either Trial, ranked or unranked Adventures, to use stock cars without any kind of setup.
Dear lord, it takes nothing - even with FH4 convoluted menu - to download a setup.

Loved the LFA back in FM4. Looking forward to it.

Created an 80s style skin for the Trueno to mix it up from the hundreds of Initial D replicas. Give it a whirl
