Mountain top danger sign is not registering, it says 1m more to seasonal objective, if i jump 380m, 394m, doesn’t matter, both is above the goal.

3

Ive had this a few times in the first first playlist. After a reboot of the game it registed it. As ManteoMax says check the obvious things like the car restrictions although it normally tells you that the car iis incorrect once you do the jump and it registers your distance, but worth checking the obvious things.

But if all else failts restart the game and re-do the jump straight away and it normally works. Well mine did at least.

4

Same as previously, you have to also beat your previous record.

5

Hope, I will find someone for Horizon Arcade…

For those, who has problem with danger sign, try:
1969 ford mustang boss 302 with tune 328 369 116

Trial: 2015 BMW i8 with tune 820 682 796

Speed Trap: 2012 Ferrari 599XX EVO with tune 287 503 492

Speed Zone: 2017 Nissan GT-R with tune: 174 087 381

Games: 1955 Hoonigan Chevrolet Bell Air with tune 123 433 789

Not the best tunes, but they work.

Btw. 3x disconnected from Horizon Tour …

Troubleshooting reminders:

  1. Make sure you are using an eligible car. Double check your Car Type by toggling your Garage menu.
  2. Try rebooting your device and complete a different event, then go back to the event that isn’t registering to see if it works.
  3. Review the Known Issues list at Forza Support (especially anything marked Festival Playlist)
  4. If you’re still having an issue with no successful tips in this thread, use the link at the bottom of the Known Issues list to Submit a Ticket so the issue can be logged and investigated. Forza Support does not track the forums for troubleshooting reports.
  5. Include “I have submitted a ticket” in your post in this thread.

As of Nov. 17, this is a Known Issue:

  • Festival Playlist - Seasonal PR stunts say you need 1mph more, or 1ft more if you beat the seasonal objective but don’t beat your previous 3 star record

From the Known Issues list, this is by design and won’t be fixed:

  • Festival Playlist - Daily challenges descriptions show imperial measurements (such as miles) despite the Player having selected Metric in their settings. Daily challenge unit measurements do not update when the player changes the Units in settings.

need to start building up good tunes from the good people on these forums again. Hard to recall all the great tunes i used over time, so will start from scratch. Part of the fun i guess! Some of the cars are insane with grip and speed, but then so are the drivatars to match…Hope the fix for cross country drivatars basically unbeatable in some races has been properly addressed i see it was included but yet to try. The top 1 or 2 were way too fast to catch on Pro level let alone unbeatable.

Some of these challenges are a problem. How is buying a car from the auction house a challenge? Also, I’ve already completed all the expeditions. I imagine there are quite a few people who have finished all the stories as well. Are they going to register as completed or do we have to replay them just because?

Looks like you have to tune some cars below their stock PI for the trial or use the BMW i8.

Such a Grind

Danger Sign didn’t work for me using '69 Dodge Charger (before and after restarting the game) - shows 1m short. I then tried the Hoonigan Napalm Nova, and that worked (without beating my previous personal best, which was about 300m further).

13

Thanks a lot, it worked for me too, video

14

Does anyone know if the daily challenges that are still showing with time left, in my case the one for doing a clean rivals lap, can still be completed in a new season like you could in the last game? I’ve tried several times and it hasn’t unlocked but does still show it is active (not greyed out)

Thanks.

15

Yes but this one is bugged. Do a dirty lap and beat the rival for it to count.

It seems like using eventlab/blueprints to complete weekly challenges no longer works. So you have to do 3 legit cross country races. Great solution from the devs to drive up player engagement time stats for Microsoft’s management.

Boosting engagement is their top priority. They keep adding modes like eliminator, arcade, and super 7 to the playlist to “force” people to participate. That then justifies the work they put into developing those modes. Unfortunately participation does not equal enjoyment.

Yes I know. Sad that video game design came to be this. This is why people no longer enjoy games and keep looking for fastest ways to progress, as if games were a job as well. On the other hand, from the business perspective, this is basically the best way game design could have went as it allows companies to have a more consistent income. Games are not made for the purpose of making people happy and have fun, but to earn money. Or at least make players have just about enough “fun” so that they keep playing the game and buy the DLCs and the next game. At least this game doesn’t have microtransactions, so I’ll kinda get over with this design approach in this case.

Games that are like this that don’t adapt to a play-to-earn model will get demolished.

This game feels grimy with all the ‘collecting’ one must do. I hate UNLV for putting out the type of people that understand the psychology of gaming. It has nearly spread everywhere.

So that was exploit they talked about in patch notes. Why you don’t want to do cross country?
