REMINDERS AND TIPS

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you are attempting an event with an eligible car.
  • If an event is not registering or behaving as expected, the first step is to reboot your device to see if this fixes it.
  • Read the FH5 Known Issues list at Forza Support - if an issue is listed, there’s no need to submit a ticket (your ticket may be marked as “Solved” as devs work on a fix)
  • If your issue is not listed at Forza Support then Submit a Ticket so it can be logged and investigated - Forza Support does not monitor forums threads for bug reports.

Event Tips

  • “Trucks” is a Car Type which includes the Mercedes-Benz Racing Truck and Unimog. Vehicles such as the Ford F-150 are classified as Pickups & 4x4s and won’t be eligible for this seasonal event.
  • FE versions of cars are not necessarily the same Car Type as their base model counterparts.

Pick a class for trial. WTH is this? Just pick one class. Jesus Christ what are you doing?

I like it.

It’s confusing to people new to the game. I was the only one in a tuned A class car. It’s like the developers don’t think at all. It’s really getting ridiculous.

That’s true. Gamers are rather dumb these days. But I rather play with real gamers and it’s much better then. We can try different classes which is pretty cool. They think a lot, I guess.

I 100% agree on this. What?? and why?? Pick your class??? As if it’s wasn’t hard enough with everyone in the same class…
Obviously nobody wants to race the lower class even though it would make the trial much easier to do with all these inexperienced drivers around. Instead of picking a car too fast for them to handle everyone going for a slower class would make it far more manageable.
Also it felt very unbalanced with everyone picking its own class to race. There was more A class drivatar than B class even though my group had only one A class car and more B and D class cars.

I finished the event on the second try but I sure didn’t enjoy it at all. Thanks to your “team mates” that don’t get the sense of letting you lead the race because you’re obviously more skilled and it can help them as well but instead race you and block and ram you so hard to make you lose the race and end up losing with you ruining your efforts
Or the ones that choose cars they clearly can’t handle at all in a short technical track. I really hate the trials. I wish I could do it by myself instead. Or with one friend only.

Well, I started a Horizon Arcade and all the cars disappeared as it started, then I went into a playground games session and it glitched out. So… no :smiley:

You need to see other cars during arcade? Why?

Unlimited Prowess | Beat Round Three of a Horizon Arcade Event…

Yeah, I’ll get right on that.

Ugh yeah I saw this a week or so back. If you time it right you could get both the seasonal and the daily done but that really is wishful thinking!

Interestingly my Horizon Tour is glitched so it’s saying I’ve completed it for these season even thou I haven’t played it.

One less to do!

Mine is showing 24/44 for the cars. Not sure if it’s a typo in the post or showing wrong for me

15

If my previous series tactics, of not relaying on other people (co-op stuff) can get me both rewards, I’ll stick to it from now on.
Will see how all pans out, when I get home from work.

Also, what’s wrong with the devs? I mean, seriously. They managed to take wheelspins out of one car in less then a day when people found a way to circumvent their grindy design.
On the other hand, they still did NOTHING about horizon arcade and yet they managed to put it twice in this season.

Arcade is not broken.

Same here, LoL!
I noticed it after I’d completed the danger sign only to get the dreaded “1 foot short” message. What is it with these flipping jumps anyway?!?!?!? Wouldn’t pop again even though I’d met all the requirements for car and class. Only had one star on that particular jump so got in an S900 tuned Jag F-type R Coupé and promptly beat the seasonal objective. Didn’t pop.
Set a 3 star distance. Didn’t pop.
Set a PB to see if that made a difference. Didn’t pop.
Got the hump, rebooted. Didn’t pop.
Checked the cars in the autoshow to look for an alternative and notice the car I was using wasn’t listed so switched to the Jag XKR-S.
Popped first time!
Bennett!!! :person_shrugging:t5:

Heh… That’s another three points I won’t be getting this season.
