Hello,
I recently started playing Forza 5 again, thanks to the sale on the FM5 Car Pass. I’ve noticed a couple of issues that are rather annoying.
First of all, whenever I boot up the game, I am in the very first car I picked. I’m never in the car I was in when I finished playing the game. This occurs both when I go to dashboard and quit the game and when I simply turn off the console and boot directly to the game upon returning.
Second, I attempted to download several designs for the Lotus E21 (though it happens for any car I have tried it for) and only the first one seems to work. The first design I downloaded gets applied to the car and it gets saved to the “My designs” portion of the paint booth. Any subsequent designs I download appear on the car until I change menus at which point the car reverts to the first design I downloaded. When I look in “My Designs” the other designs I have downloaded do not appear. This is strange because the game tells me that it is downloading the design to “My Designs” and applying it to the car but it only happens for one menu transition. I cannot find the designs in “My Designs” and worse yet, I cannot find them in the (what very poorly passes for in this game) store even when searching by exact file name.
The store design is a dramatic step backwards from previous Forza titles in my opinion, and does nothing to help make sharing and distribution of tunes, vinyls, and designs easier. In fact I think it’s quite opposite. I have difficulty finding designs when searching, even when I know the person’s gamertag and now they have a designs for the car, it won’t appear. If I apply a design from the purchase menu and then make a change, I cannot find the design by searching later on the chance it has not appeared in my saved files section. IF at all possible, please make changes to make a more user friendly storefront.
Third, and finally, a tuning issue though again, this is in part due to the poor performance of the current “store” version. When looking for tunes to download for a vehicle, I am able to see the first 8 tunes with information and changes on the 1-10 scale. Anything after the 8th designs fails to show any information, the slides are all solid green and I cannot see anything for the design nor can I download it.
It seems odd to find these glitches in the game after 7 months, especially since they’re the same glitches from launch. So much has been addressed in this game to make improvements so I can only hope that this is something that is being worked on. If not, hopefully it can be brought to attention so that it can be replicated and fixed.
Thank you.
