It’s earn 3 stars at danger signs, not 3 stars from danger signs collectively, but not just 3 starring any old danger signs it seems. I’ve tried 3 starring one with a short distance and it didn’t work, my 2nd attempt was Base Jump (502.9m) and cleared it on the first try and getting completion. Don’t have to hit 600m or 800m, 503m to clear it would suffice, I cleared it with 508m using an S2 that wasn’t upgraded to the top PI.
Well this is a first, I fancied doing a Tour and Mustang vs Camaro A800 Road came up, very nice I thought so I entered it.
Thought it was taking a strangely long time searching and then I got a notification after a few minutes, ‘Not enough players to start’.
So a game that was very keen to tell us it’s had 20 million+ players, with Tour on the playlist, on a Saturday afternoon and yet there wasn’t enough players to start it, meaning I might have been the only one in the world who’d signed up for the event.
I wonder if PG would like to boast about that level of player engagement?

Yeah, the game has had 20 million “trys”. It doesn’t have 20 million players. From what I can tell, the player base is declining.

There are big lulls in Open as well. S1 CC wouldn’t start a few nights ago and sometimes you will join and it’s 1 person in the lobbies. There are definitely popular times where it feels like lots are playing, though.
When I did tour for the playlist in B700 Modern Rally, there was only 1 other player.
If you were to enter S1 Anything Goes however, there will be no shortage of Viper AEs.
Yep, I’ve encountered the same thing for a while now, & it seems to be getting worse, which explains why there are more & more forced engagement activities with online. It’s not a coincidence that the new badges are being provided for participation each week in the 10y anniversary cycle as well.

This will continue to get worse as the game ages. I remember towards the end of FH4s life that quite often there were eliminator sessions starting with 16 players opposed to the max of 50/60.
Side note, this is the main reason why I believe they removed ranked racing and will never add it back. I think they believe adding back ranked will make existing non ranked lobbies even more empty at times. Same reason why we will also never see custom lobbies. Which is true to some degree but a big shame.

Sad but true; seems even the numbers for the diehard, loyal players are declining, but I think that’s a direct result of the current state of the game.

I entered FH4 eliminator once in the last couple of weeks and there were 42 total at the start. Maybe more are back or they changed matchmaking to get larger groups. Maybe it would be entertaining for you again?
In FH5 this season I’ve had one coop seasonal championship fail with not enough players and others with just one or two other players. Not sure what it all means. I’ve found coop-ing the championships more entertaining than solo. The teams remind me more of the FH4 trials.
Good to know. Possibly time of day but I’ll admit 42 players is more then I would have expected. Anyway as much as I loved FH4 I naturally play whatever is the latest version of a game. Just personal preference.

Only returned to 4 in order to answer a few questions about it. Had great difficulties drifting on return to it. Just don’t have time to play multiple games in a decent way.

WHEN will they ever start to distinguish between street races (path), street races (Round Course) and Street Scene Races (in the german version) so we dont have to take a guess each time what they want us to win ?!?!?!

In english, those are Road Sprints, Road Circuits, and Street races, respectively. How would that translate to German?
Street in the English version just means Street Scene so the purple icon on the map mainly taking place in the dark. What makes it hard in the German version to distinguish this? Bad translation maybe? Roads versus streets.
Often an additional word like trail, circuit or scramble is added to tell whether you should take a point to point (path) or lapped race.
This is why I always play games in English even when my native language is available.
I’m assuming street and road are the same word judging by Pointi1978’s reply and street can only be distinguish apart from road when ‘path’ and ‘round course’ are officially used which should be their translation for sprint and circuit.
Yeah assume something like that too. It’s why I added the question on translation and road versus street to my original reply. Crossed your posting.
Edit: according to Google Translate both translate to Strasse (shown with the Eszett there) so wouldn’t be surprised.
Solution is quite simple really, add a tiny icon of the race event type into the playlist.
There’s already a round icon on it, just change it to the event type when the chorelist wants you to do one.
A picture says a thousand words.
