Forza Motoraport 6 bug list

So I just had an idea to compile a list of known Forza 6 bugs, based on my and your experiences, this isn’t a ranting or hateful thread, and any abuse towards the admins/employees of Turn 10 or excessive use capital letters/exclamation marks, will be ignored. This is just a respectful way to list bugs, I will list bugs I experience, and tell me the ones you see, and I will add them to this list, just keep in mind that can take a few hours due to life like sleep, work, and time zone differences haha, so be patient, I will go through everyone’s issues, and will reply to you if I need better clarification, I would appreciate video/photo proof if doable, if you can’t acquire it, that is fine, just makes it more legitimate is all. So now for the list:

Cockpit cameras on a few cars are off, which cars, how they are off, and in which view:

2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, camera too low down in cockpit view.
1985 MG Metro 6R4, wheel isn’t centered, guy is off to the right too much in cockpit view.

Car accuracy/texture issues:

2003 Nissan Fairlady Z shifts like a paddle-shifted car, yet is a stick shift and no paddles. - xJonxMonx56 (edited by me to clarify better.)
2014 Nissan Juke Nismo RS has a very large orange line on the rear window, supposedly a window heater, but clearly way too big and a coding error. - ferverea one (edited by me to clarify better.)2004 Honda Civic Type R when you go into 3rd person, the center console is different than when you look at it in cockpit view. - M4dd Dogg7 (edited by me to clarify better.)
2010 Aston Martin One-77 speed goes max 208 or thereabouts stock when in reality its 221. - M4dd Dogg7
2010 Mitsubishi Evolution X, the turbo upgrades add turbo lag, and weight, but not power, (a stock Evo X is 492 PI, but putting a race turbo makes it 489 due to the nonexistent power increase and weight gain). - HLR Juggernaut/Myself
1965 MINI Cooper S, it can be upgraded to D class, the AWD swap, and some transmission and differential trickery is needed for this. It is an issue as it makes all other D class cars obsolete as this car will be posting B class lap times, and almost impossible for anyone else to pass it, if not in the same car. HLR Juggernaut/Myself
1965 MINI Cooper S is misfiring under load, drops to 0hp very sporadically. - NVI0U5
2012 BMW M5/ Team Forza M5, both cars have the exact same stats for power, torque, weight and front, yet the regular one is class B with 588 points and the Team Forza version is class A with 650 points, however it does show in the game that the Team Forza clearly has those upgrades 8.1 vs 7 acceleration, 5.2 vs 4.9 handling, and 5.2 vs 4.8 braking. - Breyzipp
2015 McLaren 650S has a missing front windshield texture in third person when racing in the rain, it looks as if there is no windshield. - Archangel990
1993 Renault Clio Williams has wrong the taillights. - PriusHater
1990 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton, the wheels are too much inside the body. - PriusHater
2007 Alfa Romeo 8C’s top brake light is white when brakes are applied instead of red. - M4dd Dogg7
2005 Mazda Mazdaspeed MX-5 is still paddle-shifted when the car has a shift stick and no paddles. - GoyetteQC
2009 Ford Focus RS, when fitted with the rally engine, the car only produces 399 bhp even if you equip the highest level engine upgrade, which rates it at almost 500 bhp it can spike to 400 but that’s it. -Vanrad

Sound issues:

Supercharger gets way too loud once in 4-5th gear, and its very sudden as well, can barely hear engine and just feels way too exaggerated.

The 2015 Volvo #33 Wilson Security Racing GRM S60 does not have the correct engine sound, it sounds too much like its Holden and Ford counterparts, while in real life, sounds very distinct from those. - steeeve104

KNOWN ISSUE AND BEING FIXED: The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R does not sound like its real life counterpart. - steeeve104

Positioning of some things:

When you are in Forzavista, and click on that option that lets you see the milage, value, etc, it is cut off on the left side by way too much, where some of the letters get cut off, on some cars, worse than others, it isn’t my screen as well, other things would be affected, but its only this.

Gauges malfunctioning:

Volvo 850. Turbo gauge works no Matter what engine is in it, even the n.a nascar swap. - P0RK N BEAN5
2003/2004 Audi S4, the tachometer in cockpit view or ForzaVista doesn’t work at all. - Redstone

Lobby issues:

By yourself in private lobbies it says you can have 23 drivatars but you only get 5 other drivatars. You can get a full grid with 3 other friends but that makes it only 20 drivatars not the 23. - II Hylander

When talking to other people in multiplayer lobbies, they sound like robotic/metallic voices, and can even sound like screaming. - im2fast4u711/B Wald Big Mek (not a direct quotation, reworded by me.)

Lighting issues:

Lotus E23 reflections are static and/or baked. The car only reflects the same 360° image. All the time on every track. - Brian Fantana x (Not sure if a glitch, bug, or intentional, but I’m still going to mention it, thanks for the video proof man!)

Controller/Wheel issues:

When using the Thrustmaster TX Wheel and Xbox Controller at the same time, sometimes the paddle shifters on the wheel stop working - instead, the shift up/down re-assigns to B and X buttons. -RarestRaptor
When using T3PA Pro pedals + TH8A shifter, there is a grinding noise when shifting gears sometimes. This seems to correspond with the dead zone setting for the clutch also not being applied–I’ve had a race where the bug was not present, but others where it was. - Bulwarklion

Active aero issues:

The McLaren P1’s active aero doesn’t work, the spoiler is down no matter what speed you are at, and it only seems to be happening on the showcase at Yas Marina. - PhattyHales (Slightly edited by me.)

Texture issues:

Where the road dips in the lollipop drifting section of Road Atlanta, your tires drop below the road surface. - Malkin Dragon
Career mode issues:

Career mode lets you use a B class car in a C class race in the rally sport category. - xl chezit lx

Split-screen issues:

Split screen 2 player is not working. When player 2 attempts to hit the start button to join in the selection screen nothing happens. We tried all kinds of possible work arounds, signing in and out of 2nd player account, pairing 2nd game pad to user, but nothing works. We tried this over and over and over. For a split second player 2 did connect only to be rejected and the press start option was back. - JUANHundred

Miscellaneous issues: Whenever you go into rivals and choose a color for my car it always uses the first manufacturer color no matter what. - The Big Rin

Isn’t this whole forum kind of the bug thread?..

As for modeling errors, they may not be fixed. If it’s a gameplay issue, there is a chance.

About that Hellcat, which camera is too low? There are multiple cameras to use - as long as you can see out the windshield… …or ahead of the car.

I know man, I’m just trying to be helpful is all, as for the camera issues, I specified more, thank you for pointing that out.

this is an actual issue… the cockpit view camera is too low the steering wheel is blocking some of the windshield and when approaching corners on an uphill you cant see anything but sky.

Volvo 850. Turbo gauge works no Matter what engine is in it, even the n.a nascar swap.

By yourself in private lobbies it says you can have 23 drivatars but you only get 5 other drivatars. You can get a full grid with 3 other friends but that makes it only 20 drivatars not the 23 they promised? Sucks

2003/2004 Audi S4, the tachometer in cockpit view or ForzaVista doesn’t work at all.

After currently driving this car, the Team Forza Fairlady Z shifts like a paddle-shifted car, yet has a manual (I checked in Photomode). Not sure if the stock Fairlady Z shifts the same way, and I’m pretty sure the FnF Z shifts normally.

When you say “has a manual” do you mean that it has a stick shifter, and no paddles?

Yes. It has a 6-Speed Manual (stick shift) and no paddles at all.

If you were to paint a car and buy another same car and apply the design onto the new car…once change anything on the new car…it’ll automatically change the design of the original car aswell…VERY ANNOYING.

That’s not a glitch. You have one paint file save and you load it onto two cars. Adjust one of them and they both adjust. It was this way on FM5 as well. If you want to modify the paint you need to make a second paint save and it won’t alter both

I found out about the 2nd paint save method, just didn’t know it wasn’t a glitch…I had the same problem in Horizon 2 aswell…Thanks for clearing that up. still annoying though!

I can’t even apply a design to any of my cars from the recommended designs list

Heard robot voices in multiplayer, i guess that might still be an issue.

It’s a major issue for me, actually. I love meeting folks and making new friends playing MP games. That’s hard to do when the folks in my lobby sound like they’re shouting to me through a worm-hole from the other side of the galaxy.

Also you can only hear some people and not others in a multiplayer lobby, hope they fix this quickly or the game will never get off the ground over at 2old4forza and will die the way Pcars did because of the same issue it makes multiplayer with any more than eight players (party size) a nightmare

I don’t know if this is a different thread, or my post was deleted.

Lotus E23 reflections are static and/or baked. The car only reflects the same 360° image. All the time on every track. Not sure if this is a bug or glitch. But it is the same on Forza 5

Video from Gamersyde: Forza Motorsport 6 - Lotus E23 - Monza - YouTube

there’s a glitch were the road dips in the lollipop drifting section of road atlanta your tires drop below the road surface.

[Mod Edit - OT removed - D]

I have another technical issue/bug to bring up - when using the Thrustmaster TX Wheel and Xbox Controller at the same time, sometimes the paddle shifters on the wheel stop working - instead, the shift up/down re-assigns to B and X buttons. This issue was not present in FM5 or FH2.

Also, PLEASE add the controller/wheel setup option during the start of the race in the career mode. This is pretty important for the wheel users, who usually drive at 900 degrees of rotation for road cars, but need to change to 270 degrees for open wheelers and LMP cars.

I do have to add though, an absolutely amazing game so far :slight_smile:
