Lucky you. I got my first crash ten mins after installing the update… Well I say installing the update it uninstalled my entire game so had to reinstall it (Xbox)
Great game. Well done 
I was replying to the original topic. My hope for Forza Motorsport’s birthday is that the game will finally become stable.
I like how you said 10.0 like there’s a hotfix coming for all the other bugs that were added or the ones that they said were fixed but really weren’t

Why everyone being so negative? For motorpsorts 1 year anniversary we finally get a good racing game. Test drive unlimited solar crown comes out around motorsports 1 year and although its only in beta at the moment it is still more polished than whatever this is.

If only you could migrate your account over to another platform and take any cross platform games with you…
I may have missed something but i dont understand the relevance of this comment.
Interesting article right up to when they say:
Previously, they used to be matched in lobbies with more than 30 players, but now they are struggling to find 8 to 10 players.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but 24 players has always been the maximum lobby size.

Hahah yea. They went through all this effort to research all this data on the player numbers on steam and didnt take an extra 30 seconds to see how large the lobby cap is.
“More than 30”. God, a grid of 24 is a mess on most tracks. Could you even imagine 30 plus.

My gut feeling is Test Drive SC is going to crash harder than FM8
Downloaded the demo and after installation it said I needed to sign up with some site to play the demo, uninstalled and went onto the Steam forums for a friendly chat.
Seems that every race is online only and you have to wait to join, the vehicles are all over the shop in the handling dept and a driving game with bad physics is dead on arrival.
The positives I’ve heard are the sounds are fantastic, maybe that alone will keep a player base above FM8

Its still in beta.
the always online is a bit of a problem but hopefully they patch in a online/solo selectable like what we have with horizon.
And the handling models will likely change quite a bit before launch.
Ill be on the console beta soon enough and can get a better feel for the full capabilities of their new game.
Albiet my disposition is likely biased by the fact that unlimited 1 and 2 are both in my top 10 for racing games

If they get they handling right or close to FH5 and have events that you can race against a.i it will be alright, maybe a demo after launch that you don’t need to sign up for something might be a good idea

Unfortunately the beta, is the game. They might tighten up graphics/optimization, but as far as gameplay they already said theyre not adding anything else. Its not going to be anything like test drives from the past. I was hoping this would not to be the case but it is.
Yea. Definitely more barebones than the previous games. They do say they have a 10 year plan so hopefully that means 10 years of actual content and not just drip fed material that is slapped together haphazardly

I think new testdrive will be as good as motorfest (=not good), the only game that can be worth playing from future releases is new AC as long as they make it bit more friendly to casuals (not saying that they have to make game more arcade, just better interface and online matchmaking system or something)

Turn10 will either be shutdown or restructured.
This is MS’s moto. They always wait 12 months after the last game’s release to take action (343i, Arkane Austin, Tango…)

FM23 is approaching its one year anniversary, and it feels like it’s still not quite on par with FM7 feature-wise… The proximity radar is a great step in the right direction, but there’s still a long ways to go.
they will proudly announce one “new” track that was pulled from fm7, stats will be added and 4 cars will be added. The game will still crash entering races and they still wont add drift or drag lobbies even though they showed it in the trailers and have FD cars displayed in the games menus lol

It’s just sad how badly it launched and how slowly they’ve taken any steps to improve it. We have a few “new” tracks and a few new cars, some of which new players can’t even access due to the FOMO approach. That’s it in terms of actual game content.
The other major changes have been to the CarXP, which was a quite simply awful idea and took far too long to remove, and the new radar, which seems to have been well-received but is fairly minor in the scheme of things.
On current pace, I’d expect one new track before the anniversary and probably 6 new cars. We might see some further tweaks to the AI. Otherwise, I would hold out no hope of getting anything further.

Correct. I think the thing that bothers me the most, after 10 updates they havent really added anything truly new. Tracks and cars are a given so i dont really count that. Theyve basically been fixing stuff for 9 months and the only new thing, the radar, was due to player requests.
During that stream on friday, the guy Alex said it didnt take a week, it took weeks to add the radar. But meanwhile its been the most requested feature for months. So this feature was either started a month ago, or was finished for awhile but held back to healdline update 10.
Its obvious they had no plans for this game outside of adding removed tracks back and adding a few new cars through paid dlc and fomo, thats it, this was the plan all along.
Theyre pushing for people to use the shub, most likely because they wanna look like they care what people want, after releasing a game that showed they couldnt care less. The time to take requests was before launch not after which is why i think its disingenuous that its being said constantly.
So on one hand it stinks that this game is the way it is, but on the other im happy its failing because releasing a game like this is unacceptable. I hope the person/persons responsible get whats coming to them. The players as well as people at turn 10 who did care dont deserve this.
