Not sure what’s up with these reports of crashing and issues with Touge. Can’t recall what I drove (I think a stock Honda Civic popped up first) but I had zero issues and it didn’t crash. On ancient Xbox One. Like most bugs in this game it doesn’t seem to be widespread or consistent which just makes it all the more annoying for everyone. Maybe not even the fault of the event in particular but something else underlying it.

Challenge card daily won’t complete in solo or online free roam. Tried singles, Super 7, new, old, whatever. Rebooted still nothing. Finely honed craftsmanship, yep.

Same. Think I had a silvia and no crash.

What I did have was the first obvious glitch I’ve encountered. Using Vr4 in the dirt championship, when I paused the game, the ai kept going. Tried to take a promo pic, ai kept going. Tried to rewind, it fast forwarded again to start point.

Quit and start game to fix.

Hilarious and frustrating in equal measure

You’re finding them “in the wild” right ? Doing it from the menu won’t work. I was starting to think they call it a Daily because it will take ALL DAY for one to show up on the map but one finally did. After wasting about a half hour looking. And in the end it wasn’t even a new one but one that has long shown up on the Horizon Mexico drag strip.

EDIT : p.s. I think they only show up in the wild when in online (life) mode ?

Indeed.

That AI keep driving when you pause happened occasionally in FH4 so no surprise the bug made the transition here I guess. Joy.

Doing the first random challenge I stumbled upon worked, thank you. :+1:t3:

My challenge card had problems too, camera was all over the place as I spawned in sideways on 1 of the drag race starting gates, and the challenge was the danger sign at the festival.

Drove down the road to turn back + pick up speed, hurtling towards the plane and I noticed the ramp wasn’t there, hit the brakes (like that would help at 220mph a few feet from the plane…) only to see the car shoot up and get enough distance to complete it, so it was there but completely invisible.

Streamed about a dozen consecutive “Circuit Control” trials on Twitch ( see Twitch) and had no complaints. The “human element” didn’t seem to be a problem, it was more the number of cars within a small amount of space right after the starts. It doesn’t help when the AI cars start to swerve left and right without apparent reason.

I support your suggestion for ghosted starts in trial, though.

@AnakalaRon, thanks for the tune request this week! :slightly_smiling_face: I’ve been having some fun with this little Miata and it is quite competitive! I am glad I rediscovered this little gem! :grin:

To any of my fellow forum members who have given me an opportunity by downloading and using my tunes, I am sincerely grateful! :pray: It wasn’t that long ago I was getting really discouraged with tuning and all of you have helped me rediscover my enthusiasm for it! :grin::grin:

Happy driving all and many, many thanks for giving me an opportunity!! :blush:

Just had what was easily my dumbest experience ever with the Eliminator while trying to finish the weekly task. I started the round by challenging a fellow Beetle near me to get things going, and the game in all its wisdom decides to put our end point at the very top of the mountain. Like a complete idiot, I start the race off by managing to get stuck in the festival circuit area with unbreakable walls, so I’m bumbling around trying to get out while I figure my opponent is long gone. I manage to free myself, and my opponent is just sitting there, apparently because they’ve decided that climbing the mountain in a Vocho isn’t worth it. So I’m struggling my way up some of the slopes until I hit a road, and I’m finally close to the top, and all of a sudden I start getting a timeout countdown. So I figure, okay, I’m currently in the lead in the race, so that must mean I win either way…but nope, when it hits 0 both of us get booted out, because screw us I guess! And just to put a cherry on top, I was currently in 31st place, so no completion for me!

For those of you still playing the trial. Here is a late but very fast tune for the 97 Civic. This thing is fun and extremely easy to drive fast. I PR my previous records with this tune.

97 Civic Share Code: 136-267-580

Ha ha !
I’ve been timed out a couple of times when not even in a h2h :slight_smile: Once was when i thought i had challenged someone but it didn’t register so thought i had missed him,only to get timed out for not finishing.The other time someone beeped me ,but no h2h was started.I only realised something was not right when i could not take a car drop,then saw odd marker on map, which i presume was the end point of the race i wasn’t in :smiley:

Thank you! I look forward to downloading your tunes every week.

Thank you! :pray:

The Eliminator is a weird old beast.
I often get a timeout screen when I’ve never even been out of the arena once. Even get it counting down - again never out of arena !
Never understood why it gives you 10 secs to chose a car when there’s only ever 1 to pick. Was the same with the Mini in FH4.

What do you mean? I’ve (occasionally) had an actual choice, beating a one-tier-up opponent and having to work out which of the two to get, though sometimes it’s obvious that’s not always the case.

I was talking about the start of the session. One car - the Beetle - waste of time, then another 10 secs to choose a location. Unless you’ve already picked the location before the session, 10 secs isn’t long really to find another, so it’s a quick point and click - to often not a good spot.
