Road America is an absolute mess (Le Man also has the same visible seams on the side of the track all over the Mulsanne straight)

You can add the Nordschleife to the list!
Turn10 absolutely doesn’t give a shat about their product.

Yeah, I noticed this from the very beginning. Suzuka and Maple Valley are by far the worst.
Those kind of lines are also in FM7 quite often.
It’s either the engine, old texture assets not 100% compatible with higher resolutions or just lazy environment artists, I don’t know, just guessing.
It pretty heavily destroys the beauty of the game and kills the immersion.
It’s strange it occures on a closed circuit racer so heavily and a open world game like FH5 is not affected by this…at least not that much.
I’ve seen upscaled N64 emulations with similars white lines all over the place, probably due to the bumped up resolution. Reminds of that.
Also playing on a Xbox Series X, but on a quite old 48" 1080p TV.
First I thought it’s because the game is made for 4k TV’s, but I believe it’s even worse in 4k with even higher resolution, from a logical standpoint it should be even more visible on 4k’s.

I’ve personally never seen such a thing in any of the Forza Motorsports since FM5 and I’ve logged hundreds of hours in them. This is absolutely nuts especially because Turn10 is literally continuing to ship tracks with this issue (Daytona, Nordschleife) and even thought this problem has been reported on release day 5 months ago. (Yas Marina & Hockenheim dont’seem to have any problem AFAICS).
Nordschleife is the worst so far because it is present, literally, from start to finish! Both track sides (one pixel seam separating the tarmac from the grass left & right and then one pixel seam between the grass and the vegetation below the barriers) and seams perpendicular to the tarmac roughly every 100 meters.
I think they are reusing old textures and they just don’t fit perfectly on the new geometry.
Sad.
I know they are using old textures, because they copy/pasted a graphical issue on Homestead Miami Infield track (last chicane).
One of the white light bulbs on the track surface is a little up in the air.
Not a big issue, but it is exactly the same in FM7.
Turn 10 doesn’t even care. I mean, they copy/pasted a graphical issue from a 7 year old game to the new one. How likely is it, they care about this issue?
The game is in a unfinished, rushed state, even without all the content missing from FM7.
I think whoever is in charge for these kind of things in the game needs to put more effort in this.
We drive 100s, if not 1000s of laps around those tracks looking at the surface.
It should be not too much to ask for a polished track surface without graphical issues.
But I don’t have much hope for fixes regarding this, looking at the history of developers fixing things in there games, small graphical things they almost never touch.
Same goes for balancing AI, I very rarely see fixes in that department.

And… another one!
You can add VIR to the track list:
Doesn’t look like much from the top:
But from the side… The gape is gigantic:
Bonus points for the overlapping mesh and texture on some of the curbs:
Whoever is in charge of the tracks at Turn10 should be fired ASAP.

The way the lighting or light source bounces off the track, to be more specific, right in front of the car is odd. With the sun, for example, it looks like there’s a weird bubble of light and shadow popping in and out. With headlights, it looks like a strange LOD bubble popping in and out where the beams converge.
I think this has been discussed before but no attention has been given to it. It is really irritating and makes the track textures in front of the car look like they’re from the X360 or Xbox One generation. Please make the lighting textures smooth and seamless so that driving looks realistic with the sun bouncing off the tarmac or the headlights reflecting off the tarmac right in front of the car.
Series X - happens in all modes. Noticeable pretty much only in bumper and hood cam (of course)

Indeed. This has been reported on launch day and has yet to be logged by Turn10 nearly 6 months later. Hard for them to admit that nearly all the tracks in the game are broken and that they are continuing to release them in such state as recently as this month in Update 5 with the Nordschleife. This is purely a human authoriting issue & not some sort of freak graphical bug. The team responsible for track creation is apparently incompetent.

Yas Marina was also invited to the party.
It’s now fairly obvious that every track has this issue (some more than others. Nordschleife currently being the worst)

THIS, plus the flickering reflection on the hood on some tracks like Indy (cloudy).
Sometimes even the sky flickers in the pre-race sequences showing pilots with their cars on the grid

You can add all tracks I’ve tested all tracks in any weather conditions it happens. I’m some it’s more visible for example nordschleife with X12 time rolling sunrise it’s just eye hurting not to mention that you can see weather moving with pauses between. Shadows disappearing and appearing further ahead it’s just horrendous!

I’ve seen the post with the pictures about the seams on the tracks among many other known issues & Problems I am appalled I’ve Never Seen This in any other Motorsport Game This Game Was Not Ready by a Long Shot But They Released it anyway they Have Alot of Trueful Explaining to Do

Indeed. But what is even more “impressive” is that Turn10 has yet to acknowledge this issue and is even doubling down by continuing to ship new tracks that exhibit the same problem! The Nordschleife is literally the worst offender so far while supposedly also being the most up-to-date track (which is obviously not true…).

I agree with you & I feel the same way it’s nice to see eye to eye with Other people I Enjoy a Respectful honest Opinion on the Game it makes it very Difficult when people are so Dismissive on here it makes my blood Boil But I avoid those conversations so I don’t get into a Pickle I let other people Ratio those people Instead Because they say stuff Better than I can as I have Difficulty in Certain social Situations I also see the World Differently

I want Turn10 to tell me how, in 2024, is it acceptable to ship something like this?
90% of the Nordschleife is like that. And all the other tracks exhibits exactly the same issue to a lesser extent (Nordschleife, Suzuka, Maple Valley, Watkins Glenn, Le Mans & Spa being the worst)
