Hi all.
Can somebody please fix the empty car drops in the eliminator?
In a game mode where car drops are a premium to win the game I don’t understand why they’re STILL broken. It’s been months now what’s going on??
Thanks
Well not a new Issue, but I thought it had been fixed a while back. Last time I tried one it was working fine but maybe gone broken again

Yip it’s broken again. It seems like the second set of drops onward are effected. Like I mean in the street scene outpost two empty drops. It’s infuriating.

Nope @CanniestLake024 same thing for me. They did push an update to fix it but somehow it fixed nothing. I mean if “Ghost Drops” are now part of Eliminator to make it more challenging then let us know. If not please fix it.

As mentioned, it appeared to be fixed for a while but I haven’t bothered with it much over the past few weeks so maybe the S44 playlist broke it again after the mayhem it caused in many other areas. Can’t say for sure as the only one I tried after was the recent forced one in the current weeks playlist and it looked OK but didn’t try to collect many cars after the start.
Agree that it needs to be looked at again if it has reared it’s ugly head again.

If it’s not too much trouble will you test it and let us know. Also what system are you on? PC might be working better. I’m on Xbox Series X Digital. Thanks dude.

Also on Series X console.
I might have a look later but a bit tied up at the mo.
On the last run, after not having played the eliminator for quite a while now, I only got the first drop of cars and they’ve always been working.
It only seemed to happen after drops had been taken but they stayed as collectible instead of being greyed out.

Hmm… OK - gave it another run. First spawn, there was a car dop right next to me but another player was approaching it. Left it for them to pick up and it did grey out and disappeared shortly afterwards - as it should do.
Then found another showing as collectible with the purple smoke but it was not available so must have been collected previously.
Seems to be a mix of bits working and other bits not. No idea what’s going on.
Devs - over to you….

I think this issue is connected to this other “Eliminator Issue Group” which in my opinion is resulting of the changed session behaviour of FH5 (compared to FH4).
You can watch the new session behaviour in Freeroam. Other players are only appearing around you and if you change location the existing ones vanish immediately. In contrast in FH4 you are on one server (which you could change via going offline / online again) and all players are shown in their positions all the time - over the entire map.
In Eliminator this “FH5 Freeroam Behaviour” somehow replicates - opponents out of nowhere, opponents which cannot be challenged and so on - car drops are empty because they have been taken.
Everything described above feels to me as in Eliminator there are different sessions mashed into one match. This would explain all the issues Eliminator has - most of them right from game release.

Thanks BomicoJoe to put links of my post, I appreciate it
Me as a gamer who really enjoy the Eliminator already experienced some Bugs in Eliminator, as I mention in my post I already experience Ghost Drops, Battle With Ghost, Dot Suddenly Appears and Challenge Banner Bugs
As a player, I just hope the Forza Devs Team could fix this Bugs as soon as possible

Could be that you just got there first. That always works but I’ve found that when I do play it, there are still occasional ones showing purple smoke but no car so they should’ve been greyed out.
Guess it’s just the luck of the draw if you got there first or not.
I rarely do them these days because that bug still seems to be happening.
On series X console so maybe it’s a platform thing.

Hello,
Are you still seeing this issue?
Thank you,
Hi there. Thanks for the reply. Yes I am still seeing this issue. It seems to be the second set and above car drops that are empty. I’m on the Xbox Series X and I’m in Alpha Skip Ahead. Thanks so much

Yes here too though it can happen in any set.
If you miss the first drop near you at the start it happens.
It’s only once a car has been taken in any set that it occurs.
You can go through many sets and as long as you hit the available car before somebody else it’s OK - only when they’ve already been taken in any set does it stay purple but unclaimable instead of being greyed out.
