No it doesn't, I found that out the hard way too. I played it up to the point of unlocking online play had to leave for an hour and when I restarted it went right back to the start

Lucky for them they've done a good job convincing me I should buy this

Really think it's a misstep not having a pc demo pre-release, unless of course it's got problems !!!!!

It could have been something to do with the cross play not been ready ?

Quite a good bit of content in the demo. It's good to see that level of confidence in the game from the devs.

Yeah it was a nice sample of what will be coming in the game.

Less than two weeks to release :cool:

Have a code for the warthog from halo if anyone wants it, don't play driving games so have no use for it really.

£37 (around E43) for Xbox on Amazon at the moment. You won't get it on release day but a good price. It's out on the Tuesday though so it will probably arrive by the Friday.

Nice to see good reviews then. Tempted to login on Windows 10 and order it.. might take a look at the price via singapore

Do I just set my region inside windows 10 system/control panel?

More reviews coming out through out the day and the amount of 10/10 and 5/5 reviews is amazing!

Wish this wasn't exclusive to the windows store on pc, €70 is taking the piss for a pc game

edit: £50 on amazon, still too much. Not sure if it would work on an Irish account

I pre-ordered FH3 a while back because Playground Games always deliver the goods in the Forza Horizon games. Their expansions packs are excellent too.

70 euro for standard edition on windows is a bit of a joke

You can get the Xbox One version cheaper on amazon than you can get the PC version on win10 store. Wtf?

Icyseanfitz

yup, its a joke, especially considering microsofts renewed interest in pc gaming as platform haha

put it steam is the first thing they should do with their games, failing that at least keep the pricing competitive ffs, oh and dont gimp settings options etc.

its not really rocket science

marcbrophy

IGN gave it a 9.5

Xbox version, I believe!

That's hella high :eek:

Yes midnight for unlock for Ultimate Edition owners. Tuesday for everyone else.

Works out at about €70 from Hong Kong for UE so happy enough to go with that I think.

Icyseanfitz

70 is a good price tbf for the ultimate edition, god windows store download speeds are absolute crap though! i download at 6mb/s on steam (50gig game in around 2 hours) but this game (49gigs) has been downloading for 5 hours and im around 2/3 the way there. Also doesnt tell me what speed its downloading at!

I'm looking at this for PC, but would like an idea that its a good port. Any PC reviews out yet?

Requirements for it are a bit scary. Don't know if it will be good port. Last few were not great at all. I know it's locked to 60 fps already.

Is xbox version 30fps again?

Icyseanfitz

its not locked at 60 fps once you turn off v sync apparently

Yeah locked to 30 I believe.

For those who'll be playing at midnight - Enjoy :pac:

FYI for those on Xbox in the preview dash program, Copying CatinaBox' post from the xbox forum

We’ve identified an issue in the current 1610 Preview update which impacts game save data for Forza Horizon 3. Users who pre-ordered the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition will receive early access beginning tomorrow (9/22), and we will be releasing a new 1610 Preview update tomorrow morning (estimated 11:00 AM PDT) to fix this issue.

For Preview users who have access to Forza Horizon 3 prior to the release of this new 1610 Preview update (New Zealand and Australia), please be aware that until your console has downloaded the latest 1610 Preview update, you may lose saved progress in Forza Horizon 3.

This issue occurs when reaching a certain threshold of game save data and is impacted saving career progress, saving screenshots, and importing designs from previous Forza titles. Please be aware that when saving career progress this issue will not indicate an error is present, however, upon restarting the game saved progress may be lost.

Thank you for your understanding and we will communicate more as we push out the new build with the fix over the next 24 hours.

Ah that has nothing to do with the PC version or even the game, it was an issue with the preview dashboard on the xbox itself..

I was pushed the update there a while ago so they are on the ball with with it.

Icyseanfitz

tried to hit play through the windows store but got a message saying i was too early. heres hoping early access actually works at 12

Remember to drive on the left now boys.

Icyseanfitz

well it wont start for me keeps crashing on the first logo cut scene, ffs

exact issue im having

I've friends in the UK who couldn't play at mid night yet everyone on my list in Ireland was able to play bang on 12:01am Folks in Australia had issues too I hear.

Icyseanfitz

Reasonably Large amount of people having the same issue as me, I'll be asking for a refund if its not working by tonight! Joke to pay this much to beta test a game

mossym

just got the UE. got a warning on launch that i didn't meet the minimum requirements, surprised as i've a decent enough rig, turns out it was the driver,tried to run it and it crashed just as above, new nvidia driver needed and working perfectly since

Seems the audio can be tuned just right in the full game, in the demo I wasn't happy that no matter what you did the car etc were to loud vs the music.

Icyseanfitz

well fixed it, uninstalled avast, turned on windows defender, and now its working ....only i have none of my dlc/vip stuff, god this has been a bumpy ride of a game. On the upside love the game!

btw in freeroam how do you tell who is a real player or just a drivatar?
