Total parp. :D

I can be difficult overtaking on some tracks but once you get to the front can pull away quite easily. My first R1 World Championship race I had a massive spin on lap 8/10 but was so far ahead just got back on the track and carried on, didn't bother rewinding or anything. :cool:

What's this sound issue? I don't think I have experienced it

Hey guys and gals, I have gotten some information and audio recordings from some people in this thread. I am still awaiting another set of recordings as well.

From what I've heard, the problem is a known issue that we knowingly shipped with. Cracks and pops will happen under certain racing conditions, as will some occasional static when the processor goes over 100% usage. The most common cause of the small pops is rapid tire surface changes. Both Sebring and Amalfi are most likely to reproduce this issue as they have rapid changes to their tarmac driving surface (pavement seams and cobblestone). For those that want a basic technical understanding...one common cause is stopping a sound before having faded the sounds down to 0...in most cases because we need to restart the sound from its beginning.

We shipped those bugs because, frankly, most people cannot hear them. However, some people are more acute at picking out those audio artifacts and combined with stereo setups that might exacerbate the effect is likely what led many of you to this thread. I'm not trying to justify the decision we made, but to validate the above sentence, not a single reviewer ever called us out on those audio artifacts, likely because they didn't hear them. That doesn't mean we on the audio team don't cringe when we hear them, but as I said the decision was made to tune to the masses and increase our voice and dsp count improving the overall audio experience. Take some solace in the fact that you have excellent hearing and are very in tune with car audio.

All that being said, I am aware of a situation that could arise that might massively increase the frequency of these artifacts which is why I joined in on this thread in the first place. But as of yet, none of the information nor the audio recordings that I've been supplied have confirmed an instance of this other unrelated bug. So if you are getting a large occurance of pops and clicks that you think aren't related to tire surface change sounds, I'd very much like to hear from you. Once or twice a lap does not constitute a large occurance.

But as it is, we were not planning on fixing these occassional pops. We will investigate a low impact fix as that is prudent, but I'm giving no promises and the next patch could be a while in coming. Thanks for your input and help getting me the repros and feel free to PM me with concerns, questions and suggestions.

Chad

I love the attempt to down play it by way of a backhanded complement, but also this reply from the same thread.

Although I applaud you on your in depth replies and attention to our concerns, I must say your response does fill me with a lot of concern.

As soon as I noted these snaps, crackles and pops (rice crispies anyone - or is that just a UK thing), I came straight here to see if anyone else was experiencing them. It does really annoy and ruin part of the immersion.

However, I must disagree on your response towards having good hearing. Many years ago I failed to get into the army because my hearing wasn't up to par and although I do not need a hearing aid my hearing is considered borderline and yet I notice these sounds, especially with headphones on.

I have never had this with any other game so I know for a fact that my borderline hearing isn't causing me to imagine them, especially when the tracks you mentioned are the two which I have noticed this the most.

Havent had much of a chance to play this lately but decided to play it last night for a bit...still enjoying it but is it me or is there no weather changes??? ie where you get rain, snow etc etc.

If so i find it a bit strange that FM3 which is a car sim doesnt have these basic functions...didnt PGR4 have weather changes in it??.

Unless im missing something but having played it for a good few hrs last night i couldnt see the weather changing in game.
 
Nope no weather changes in Forza, or night time for that matter.

Looking on the Official Forza forums, it looks like the Nissan GTR is going to be in the next DLC. I think its going to be released on the 18th December.

Hmmm seems like thats the case...oh well would have made things a bit more interesting but anyhow perhaps they will put it in the next FM.

Good news if true, one car that i thought should have been in there from day one of the release...looking forward to buying it and tuning the hell out of it:p
 
Quite a few cars coming in the DLC...

Just wondered if it's just me but i find that hardly anyone uses there mic in forza 3 in lobbies

I come from playing Grid on the XBox 360 where in most Touring Cars lobbies you would get booted if you didn't say hello or have a mic so when you raced you could let people know it your up someone inside or just to say sorry for a bump so when i came over to Forza i was thinking it would be more of the same, well sadly it's like a ghost town most nights when racing with only a handful of people ever having a mic on

I just had a message saying i had been gifted a car from Team 10 and didn't realise i had to click on it to recieve it. Now, i had a bunch before and just expected the cars to be there and deleted the message (bout 5 i think i was). By deleting the messages and not clicking on them does this mean i have missed my chance of getting the cars ??? :(
