Forza Horizon 3 just shown at E3

[FredFlint]

Patch looks good, will most likely be 18:00-18:30pm when it is available.

 

[.:MBK:.]

looks like it just has a 7pm pacific time rollout, so early hours tomorrow for us i guess

 

[Sp00n]

Pc is on waiting for the update

 

[FredFlint]

1.6GB patch looks ok, runs smooth and no crash/BSOD.

 

[Type_R]

Update installed here. Seems like a big improvement

Spent about 4 hours playing it yesterday on my 980 ti/6700K @4,6 Ghz and after it has self optimised today...pretty much 60 fps@4k with my standard bumper view...even in races!

 

[kinger8938]

Any word on the Demo yet?

 

[Type_R]

I think that judgement was too early...just had two CTD in a row! Hadn't had any until the patch

 

[hyperseven]

Just grabbed patch, had to manually check for it though.

I haven't installed the patch yet but have been getting more crashes recently, for whatever reason. It was relatively stable before.

I think it's something we'll have to live with as the engine seems rather capricious. I was really ****ed yesterday when I got two crashes in 10 minutes while navigating the menus and had to go through that iritating procedure of opening the task bar, searching for the game's .exe and setting priority/affinity again.

Just reading around, it seems the patch is still very hit and miss. I bet this would run beautiful without UWP.

 

[Type_R]

I think the patch has re-enabled Core 0. Will disable it again, perhaps that is causing the CTD?

 

[Amatsubu]

100% this.

 

[Josh]

Running really nicely still for me.

Patch finally fixed the last barn find where the game would stall! Yippee not can go full mad max in the desert.

 

[Amatsubu]

Tried it for 5 minutes just now. The menus are fixed and there's vast improvement in terms of stuttering. Practically none in Surfers without applying the priority workaround. The drops on the main lane are still there but don't feel as bad, after all I'm running MSAAx8 at 1440p so dropping to 45-48 briefly in three or four places on the map isn't anything game breaking. I can always try to drop settings but that didn't result in any serious performance increase previously.

If the stuttering has really been fixed ( have to play for longer) and there aren't frequent crashes, then the game is officially perfectly playable for me.

Has anyone tried playing this game on a steamlink?
I can't find any clear information if it works or not as this is the only thing stopping me from buying this game as it looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Davanius]

Anyone know why my progress in outback festival is so slow?

I have won the races but there isn't a gold cup over the icons when viewing on the map.

[Mario]

[wellibob]

Latest patch gives me improvements definitely. Stutter every so often gone. Runs extremely well now.

You probably have to do both the exhibition and the multi race championship (I cant remember the term they use)
