I’ve taken the process of restarting the game ( when it does not crash by itself) everytime waiting time is more than 3mn. Tonight, I decided to do a test to see how long it would stay blocked and here where are, almost 43mn between the end a race and the actual start of the next. ‘Most’ waiting time being after the 'setting up… ’ message.
I am quite upset having paid for something that is not working, A bug requiring to restart the software is a blocker for any company, something unacceptable, apparently, all but one …
M$, you got me buying a PS5 which works like a charm by the way, now added to staying to X1X, for sure I won’t buy another forza, just play the gpass version … continue to ruin my player’s experience, you’re doing so well so far.
They are definitely doing their absolute best to sell me on the PS5, they certainly convinced me not to even consider wasting money on another Horizon title.
I have been playing this game since it’s launch. Paid for the game, bought the DLC I wanted, but there comes a time when you have to say enough, and this is that time.
As I sit here waiting upwards of 10 minutes between races, longer just crashes out, I find myself asking why I put up with it this long, none if my friends play anymore, they got smart and quit long ago. I guess I still got goals I want to achieve, I’m not one to easily just roll over and quit.
Things were generally okay before the Steam version hit i.e. wait times between events and being disconnected. Since the Steam version I’ve been getting disconnected regularly although things have improved in the last few days. However wait times between events vary for me from anywhere from a few seconds to up to 15 minutes.
Most people don’t like to make that connection but I suspect that’s exactly what the issue is, my game has literally crashed more in the last 2 weeks than it has in 2 years. That’s not an exaggeration. They decided to add a massive amount of new players and it ruined the game for the rest of that’s been playing for months or even years with minimal issues. That criticism is coming from someone who’s defending almost every single mistake or bad choice they made, even I’m out of patience.
I’ve even been trying to find quick fixes around it but that shouldn’t be my job, it’s theirs. They broke the game, they need to fix it.
Same for me, 3 game crashes only yesterday … I did suspect my X1X of over heating but only the game crashes, not the whole console, even music app is not affected. I would like to go back to that version they added ghosting/wall riding/high speed collision. Since that, all I remember is FH getting worse release after release after release …
I’ve always been very attentive to PG’s way of managing priorities and it’s absence of any collaboration with FH fans. I protest but cope with non sense updates and priorities but 40mn between 2 races, game crashes and disconnections … roll back, just roll back !!!
I hope they will not ask Manteo to hide this subject inside the online thread like they did for the ramming issue at game release …
You know they’re gonna wait so long to fix this problem,that alot of players won’t even play it after its “fixed.” Win a lobby, then crash 2 times after a win. Lets just say i’m very close to adding my name to that list.
Just like for the forum posting issue …
Now, when I join a championship and I see it’s in reward status/about to start and many are in waiting lobby, I just leave, same if lobby is empty. Despite that, I hade a 45mn session yesterday … guess what … 5 races and not in the same CP … stuck lobbies(wait lobby full of people waiting), empty lobbies (1 or 2 remaining players), lobbies stuck after race (more than 3mn) and 1 game crash. 2mn a race average, that 10mn of actual play over 45mn. I should be happy, no disconnect …
An still not a word from them, simply nothing.
happened to me 3 times yesterday
more than 20-30 minutes waiting for god sake…
and the sound completely gone after 1 MP race, and crash few seconds later, STORE version, never had this kind of problems before
FIX THE GAAAAAAAAAAAME!
and right now, i can’t connect… slapface.gif
It’s on the known issues list:
Online Adventure and other game modes have long load times between rounds and when traveling.
I’d be amazed if they don’t fix this one relatively soon. It’s too fundamental for them to delay.
Long loading times is there for at least 2 months. It doesnt matter if they are aware of the issue if they dont take action.
Not to mention the other things surrounding it too, I just tried getting in a Games session for the monthly completion, waited 15-20 mins only for ‘not enough people accepted blah blah blah’ to pop up, so I tried RTA where less people accepted than the Games one, yet it went ahead and I think every person got DC’ed within the 1st 20 seconds of the 1st race as the 3 in front of me all flew off to the left + crashed at the same time then I followed a few seconds later.
Perhaps I’m always too black and white with FH4 but aren’t the Xbox exclusive franchises like Forza, GOW, Halo etc supposed to demonstrate the very best that can be done on the platform and encourage people to choose an Xbox over a PS?
What’s surprising to me, it was NOT affecting the Series X/S players initially but they did some patch update that was less than GB and that broke my game nearly 3 weeks ago. Its way too fundamental and essential to ignore. Everyone needs it to complete certain things on the playlist. I didn’t even consider it was messing up the trials and convoys. I don’t do either of those anymore, I just do online ranked and I cant even do that now. Without it, there’s really no need for me to play.
