Did any of you manage to break the 400 km/h barrier at all?

425 km/h is my best so far. Won the Ford GT Forza Edition in a Wheelspin, it's some goer!

Can't seem to ever join an online game. Please tell me you don't need XBOX live to play online on PC?

There's an xbox forum boards club, with over 80 members now, you might find a few players in there. It's "Boards Xbox Group".

You don't firewall issue? Port forwarding maybe?

Open the Xbox app in Windows 10 and look for network. Its gives a run down of your network status.

Like the other poster stated make sure your firewall isn't blocking the game.

It's a great car. The Horizon Edition Nissan GT-R is also seriously quick.

I think I can beat the speed you set if I tune my Ultima.

I didn't try it yet and probably won't touch it until next year.

€35 for the dlc pass
I only paid €45 for the main game!

Guys, how does this deal works of buying FH3 and getting it on pc and xbox one? Is it only digital? Do I need to buy it from xbox store or Windows store for it?

Would love to see how it will run on pc, but from what I heard it runs like a dog even on high end pcs. So at least I will have xbox one version to play with.

Just make sure to buy the digital version really. You unlock it on your Microsoft account and you'll then be able to download it on your PC through the store app.

If you get it digitally it doesn't matter where you get it from, you will have the game on both systems.

I've been too'in and fro'in on this one. Just to clarify, you buy the cheaper pc digital version, and you have access to the game on XBone?

Should do, though I'm not sure there technically is acheaper PC version as you have to use the windows 10 store. The third party key sellers will just be selling XBL keys.

Well, if the Windows store can match the price on amazon linked above, then i'll go there. Haven't used the One much, outside of Tomb Raider, so still not up to scratch on the ins and outs of the store economy.

It probably won't be that cheap on the windows store so I'd go with Amazon if you can

Looks like a 4 year old ran riot with a marker! :P

God damn Blizzard Mountain Update has made the game unplayable for me now. Slideshow.

I really wish they did some work on optimizing. I keep getting video memory low on gtx 980.

I can play most games at 4k 30fps, but not forza

Jerichoholic

Got it to run again by restarting system. Still no online available for me though. What are they at?

Maybe something to do with your setup?

If I can say one positive thing about Forza is that the online part of it seems to be rock solid for me atleast.

Very few jumping/skipping people, most of the races are decent.

Im on the PC.

Only thing I wish they added is a little speaker when someone is talking so you know whos talking in an online lobby.

Did anyone get around to playing the Blizzard Mountain expansion yet?

ShadowHearth

So, finally had a change to play it and this is my first horizon game, but I bought normal forza games like religion since forza 2.

Playing it on pc with G29 steering wheel. I was very worried that my old pc (2500K, 8gb, gtx 1060) won't be able to run it properly specially at my resolution ( 3440x1440), but turning off all AA, motion blur and all settings at high managing very solid 50-80fps.
Where it is really annoying that G29 does not work with H shifter on pc, but G920 does... Go figure. Thanks Obama... Though still fun.
My progression is very slow, because I am playing with all assists off, manual, skilled AI and steering wheel. I am not great with steering wheel yet, so i have to reply races a lot!

All in all its fun, but a bit confusing with events and what cars to use. Looks like I can't stick to one or few cars I like. By the time I get comfortable with how car behaves, it throws me in to new one and learning begins again!
Drifting can feck off alltogether. I just can't do it, ever! I really hope I can skip those events.
Off road racing is actually very fun with steering wheel, hard, but when you pull it off, it's very very satisfying.

Since I got G29 for Xmas I played assetto corsa, automobilista and this. I kmow its not proper sim, but I find myself playing it most. I guess it's just fun. Don't judge me!
