Shorter practices now? cool doesn’t allow a race lobby to even build numbers… 5 Forza gt Races now with max 5 drivers and 2 usally quit… way to have a SMALL group of people change something that didn’t need to be changed… i can’t practice and qual in the same lobby anymore… takes me 2 to 3 laps to get back into the mix on a track… by the time i get ready, race is ready to start… ugg GT has better GT4/GT3 cars (More even Fakes but they work) lobby’s are better more full. do you just hate us that much? or what. i’ll just play something else… can’t enjoy race lobbys with only 3-5 people… to short not worth *** game was FINE just needed longer races and no more short… the loud minority screw the majority

Car and driving suit. But, yeah… Its nearly double what every other car cost.

So another month with absolutely no reason to re-install this mess.

Let’s be honest.

It doesn’t matter how long practice is, most average players still can’t drive.

I want to race, not practice. I want more events, not less.

Don’t mind practise being shorter but what they really need to do is make it so people can still join right up until the race is about to start. If i want to join a lobby that doesnt have enough time left for me to qualify then that should be my choice. I would rather miss qualifying and be racing then waiting 20min for the next race.

You have to find the new bugs and report them first. Then make a ticket so it can get overlooked in the next update.

Really like the new race schedule, not necessarily the shorter practice times. We’ll see if it grows on me

Please add Mouse support for menus in Microsoft Windows PC version of the game

Lotta the cockpit audio sounds a good bit better on surround rigs. Specifically dolby atmos in my case. Still a tad bright and buzzy tho.

I’d love to see some force feedback updates in the future. Compared to other racing sim/games like Assetto Corsa and iRacing the force feedback is sub-par and the settings are convoluted. Having a direct drive wheels to compound these issues.

Very disappointing update like the previous one.

A circuit that we already had in previous Forzas and that was retained until today.

Only three new cars with only the Porsche 963 worth it

Nothing about an update in terms of vehicle sounds that brings even a little closer to what was promised at the launch of the game.

They don’t even bother to fix huge mistakes that make cars like the Huayra R undriveable from your cockpit view.

For those of us who like road cars, again nothing and it’s been several months, two that were brought last month were already in previous forces, it is exasperating to see the list of vehicles that Horizon 5 has and that are not in FM23 , seeing your latest updates I guess Turn 10 doesn’t want us here anymore.

3 new cars? And it’s the 9th update? This is tragic, at least recycle 5 times that amount from previous games, there are enough FM5-FH5 models for that!

Okay I love the new race schedule. Practically cut the old system in half. Each Open race is coming up every 3 hours or so opposed to every 7 hours. Kudos!

Is it completely or partically unsupported?

Mouse support is iffy in the steam version. Clicking on screen buttons brings up the menu in some cases, but does not select that option in the menu. For instance, during challenge the grid if I click any position, I’ll start the race and begin in 12th place. In order to actually change my starting position, I have to use the wheel’s thumbstick or the keyboard. It often involves reaching past my wheel to fiddle with the keyboard. I can easily grab my mouse and click away, but the game doesn’t work with mouse only.

And painting is best on a controller… Sad to say.

Flags removed from the Nordschleife and speaker poles added, Yes Yes Yes Great Stuff, much more realistic and gained a couple of fps :+1:

All let down by the Crashing when returning to the main menu

They updated the graphics quite a bit on PC. Looks like they re-shaded the game, it no longer looks like you’re in the middle of a wildfire with haze the RT is a lot more stable / accurate and I’m getting another 15-20fps maxed out.

Is this still happening to you?

It was to me but then it suddenly stopped and I haven’t had an issue in the last week or so.

An update I really appreciate is what they did to the home space.

This is from update 8.2 (I think. we had 2 hot fixes in update 8, right?)…

And this is update 9.0…

Notice the differences? The sun is no longer shining on the car. That change allows for shots like this to happen…

Once we can turn off TAA, then our journey to the dark side will be compl… Ahem…

Our pictures might get a lot sharper for 1080p plebs, such as myself. LOL

But in all seriousness, Turn 10… Go ahead and make the time of day in the home space changeable or in sync with real time. It appears that is the intention of the home space.
