Another challenge do the 2 jumps in Byron Bay for the 20k xp bonus boards.
Forza Horizon 3 just shown at E3

Has anyone else had/heard of issues with buying the Ultimate Edition on the windows store and it didn't appear? Or even buying the game on Amazon and applying the code in the Windows Store and it still didn't appear?
If so, did you manage to fix it?

Anyone else not getting the Warthog to appear after redeeming the code?
Do you redeem the code in game or through the store??
I was sent a code but wont unlock the game until Tuesday
Seems to be a bit dodgy heh. Shame cause I'd pay £39.99 for the ultimate.

Didn't mean to come across all eletist, reading back it might look that way.
I dislike simplistic car games is all
Being that you can change car setups and such in it, in quite a detailed way I wouldn't call it simplistic. Just not heavily simulation oriented.

That doesn't auto charge does it ? I accidentally clicked yes on the 14day free trial and couldn't find any button that said off
That's a pretty good price. I've bought steam keys without issue off G2A and CDKeys previously but neither of those sites are offering Forza Horizons 3 at the moment? As other have said the wording "This product is an Xbox One Account that can be used for full digital download of the game" sounds very dubious. Implies to me you'd have to log in with a separate account everytime you want to play the game?

From what I have read on their page you get sent an account which you can then tie to your main account/gamertag. But I can only see the xbox instructions.
Surprisingly enjoying this game. Got really giddy and excited that some of my dream machines are in it, and to just drive around in a Sierra Cosworth in Aus, it's bliss!
I spun a wheelspin and won some wierd super-Jag Horizon Edition so sold it for a huge sum... Only just opened the 2nd festival...

this game really is very strange regarding how it performs.
I can load the game up and have 60fps-80fps, play for an entire evening, go to the forests, outback, races, even the race intro screens where you see the cars line up for the race it stays above 60fps. Yet the next time I load the game, in the same areas my frames will be between 30fps and 50fps, in exactly the same spots in the world as before, and the race intro and outro screens with the cars will now be a stuttery mess around 25fps. I can then try and restart the game a few times, when I load into the game in the Exhibition place it'll load in at under 40fps for 3 or 4 tries, then all of a sudden I'll see 80fps and then proceed to play for the next 3 or 4 hours with frames never dropping below 60fps.
I really don't understand what's happening with the game, it's amazing how the game plays massively differently depending if you get a lucky load in or not. I look at the CPU usage and none of my cores ever go above 50%, it just seems the game is so random regarding the performance.
It's a shame though, the game is a lot of fun underneath the glaring issues.
Decided doing some unorthodox racing in the heavies this evening with Hotdog, so much fun racing in different vehicles.

CPU results are interesting. Don't see why the Intel 6c/12t should be behind the 4c/8t if the game is using multithreaded rendering. This is supposed to remove the reliance on having one very fast core to do the heavy lifting. Seems to be doing this on the lower end CPU's but not the top end. Maybe a result of the Xbone having a eight core CPU.
