No you can't unlock them, you can only obtain them via the car pass.

It's up to you whether it's worth it, there are 350 cars in the standard lineup so plenty of choice regardless.

You rule! Seem to be the only one who can answer these questions.

Very much appreciated mate, I put a fair bit of effort trying to find out but they aren't very clear in their release material and I couldn't find the answer in other forums.

If anyone else was worried about the game only installing on the OS drive then people have confirmed that you can both download and install the game on a non-OS drive. WOHOO!!

Here are instructions but report back here if you use it and it works.

Done, it works. Can't play till Tuesday or whatever but I don't mind!

Wow, I can confirm uninstalling Avast worked -_- Looks like i'm using Defender for a bit

Got in touch with Microsoft about not being able to download it and there's nothing they can do about it.

Between that and the Xbox One having awful download speeds, safe to say I won't be playing it tonight... :mad:

this on the official forza support forum stickied by a mod, with an attitude like that im happy I resisted the pre order, I may pick it up when they have sorted the problems out, but really that's a lame post, people are justifiably upset.

To be fair to them, the Forza forums are a nightmare. Almost as bad as the old Battlelog forums! .

No download button,ahh.

God this game is epic, so good it really is.

And I've no idea how, I've not changed any settings but now I'm sat at 80fps and 60 in demanding areas. This game does some strange things, and I'm sure performance changes each time you load in the game.

Westie answer your xbox chat!!!!! Lol. You fancy some coop campaign tonight?

So the question is - Should the developers really have to test it works with every anti-virus going? I think not.

eekfek · 23 Sep 2016 at 18:34

wtf, mate just messaged me to say the game has downloaded to his xbone machine, it has my profile amongst others on there. He can play the full version I have without logging into my profile (I don't have a console).

I was having the same problem but just managed to sort it. Make sure your W10 is updated to the 1607 build.

Do what I do and add all your gaming folders to ignore list.

The default location is This PC for the Windows C: drive in the %LocalAppData%\Packages folder.

I not had a virus for years but it's still better to be safe then sorry. I use my pc for more than just gaming and even though I do agree with you, I still choose to have one.

Uncle_Gravy · 23 Sep 2016 at 18:47

Is a stuttery mess aint it

Still looks beautiful though.

Any one else not getting achievements? Nothing has popped up or unlocked on my xbox app.

I understand why people will want a refund as it certainly isn't in the vain of Apex at all. Luckily for me I can handle sim and arcade driving titles and like them equally. £79 is a lot to spend if you feel it isn't up your street and I suspect Microsoft will be more amenable to refunds than other game services. Time will tell.

I've just spend another hour and I'm thoroughly enjoying it and there's obviously shed loads to do and then some. Looks beautiful in Ultrawide 1440p ultra settings.

I've two systems currently with wheels (1080p and 1440p ultrawide) and the difference in visual quality between high @ 1080p and ultra @1440p is massive IMHO. Anyway enjoy those who can get it running nice.

Dup · 23 Sep 2016 at 19:29

Been blasting around with my G27, 6700k @ stock, 16GB RAM and MSI 1070 @1440p everything else ultra. Love it, look and run beautifully. Odd little glitch but nothing game breaking.

Disappointing the VIP and ore order bonuses stuff isn't working through
