Forza Horizon 5

having awful problems with this online . crashes at least twice a hour . convoys don't work half time . when they do one of us disappear on and off each other's maps .

Game has port forwarding, either open ports or all use UPNP. Some irish routers are old and crap and dont have UPNP or like the old UPC router simply dont open ports even when selected because its a piece of **** :D

Standard for FH games :) Just to note just because you cant see each other (in different sessions) doesnt mean you cant start races/avtivities with each other, just get the group leader to start it and all the convoy will get an invite. Shame that free roam would be cool in convoys.

I got one and gifted 2! You get an achievement for your first gift too 🙂

Gift all dupes regardless of car type.

Have what seems to be loads of money 23million but probably isnt, havent bought a car yet. I have 60 via gameplay.

This cheat was one of the reasons I haven't even bothered to d/l the game yet, once I know players can easy mode to get the higher end stuff I'm out - where's the fun in that? You didn't 'earn' them, you were handed them ... not much 'game' in that is there?

still half unplayable online for me . constant convoy issues and it will freeze console if i'm online every 20/30mins

I dunno, every other day I'm seeing new 'cheats' for it, there's one for infinite wheel spins, one for infinite money if you can be bothered, just irritates me I guess, reminds me of when people would cheat toget infinite ammo and invincibility in games in the 80's/90's then claim they 'cleared it' on hardest settings. I know it shouldn't bother me but it does. I'll still d/l it to play over the holidays but beyond that ... looks too much like FH4.5

I decided to go ahead and give it a try, I mean I'm paying for XBGP and rarely use it, might as well get me money's worth ... I thought it was cool actually when they said my name in game! What I didn't think was in any way cool was the f'ing ott irritating AF voice overs in general - I thought it was bad in FH4 but they actually managed to make it worse this time. Think I'll be playing this one muted with some tunes of my own in the BG ... why oh why do these companies insist on being trapped in the 'Hey Duuuuuude!' era of the early 90's?? really off putting. Gorgeous game though, even on my humble GTX 1660 with some minor tweaks to help it run smooth, tis a beautiful looker - real shame about the sound, the tunes in game are junk also

Game is a mess in many other aspects - I keep getting "wrong car for seasonal objective" for anything I try from the "spring" playlist, despite trying with just about every car I have and, most importantly, said objective NOT having any indication about what cars qualify for it.

That...will be a challenge, I have no "right stick" (Logitech G920). I'll connect a pad to check - but the ones I'm talking about apparently have no restrictions, yet I get the error each time.

mmm that's funny - these buttons never worked for me on Xbox. I know they work 'cause I can use them on PC. I shall take a look after work, thanks!

The game thinks I own all 7 houses, but I haven't bought the 5 mil one yet! I've only 6 and the achievement just popped!

Weird :D

The pic shows a dune buggy racing. Would it be related to Baja cross country events?

My mistake so :)

It's a pity it's not triggering though!

Was just playing the "Auld Lang Syne" seasonal event for new year's which is for cars from the 2010s, it feels like they just copied and pasted FH4's event and forgot we're well into the new decade now.

Yeah, had a look at those and not for me, too much messing about. I find myself just dipping into it for a few quick races and out again. At the higher difficulty levels, you need a perfectly tuned max for that class car in order to stand a chance of winning. And I'd imagine online is all people with maxxed out properly tuned cars, so that doesn't interest me either. Visually stunning and gameplay really is faultless, but it's just missing something, for me personally it's missing progression so there's no push to complete things.

I usually aim to get the first prize car each week, the second one is way too grindy to bother, especially since every car in the game basically feels the same so I don't actually care about the prize other than it being a thing to do.

I tend to do the three championships plus the trial and that's usually enough points. The Trial can be a fun challenge but it's also super annoying at times as I mostly finish in the top 2 (there's generally one AI that's really hard to beat and the rest are easier), but it usually takes a bunch of attempts before I'm finally matchmade with players who don't finish behind all the AIs and drag the team score down.

Aside from that, I do the monthly rivals and that's usually it. I'm not that into the playground stuff and can't be bothered with all the fiddling to set up photographs or do treasure hunts. I did try the stunts a couple of times before and had trouble getting them to trigger so decided I'd stop bothering and only do races.

The forzathon weekly challenge this week you have to use the Bentley Blower, final challenge is drive 100 miles in it. That's just torture!

Auto steering and auto breaking with a rubber band —— done

They are giving every player 100 points because the 100 miles challenge is "a bit of a grind"
