I think at this point I’m most irritated by the fact that they broke the car selection sorting with the FDA update. Cars were previously sorted by manufacturer with snowflake markers for snow tires when the upcoming event was winter; now, there doesn’t seem to be any sorting at all, cars are completely random in order and have no differentiators for snow. It makes selecting much more difficult, especially with the timer.
snow indicator is not gone it is just that it displays only if the previous event was winter.

These annoying freaking rollovers are ruining my game experience now. Just lost a lobby by 1 point because the car that landed on all 4 wheels reset for some ridiculous reason. UGH!!! Why does this BS keep happening at the most non-ideal time? I’m way ahead of the flock and this happens. Then I fall to damn near last place

If there is no improvement on Multiplayer in Update 6 (no indication that there will be), I’ll be officially done with this game and won’t play it again until it’s fixed. Constantly backing out of cross country/dirt races until I find S1 and S2 Road/Street races is just a terrible experience. If the FH1 servers are still up I may as well just go back to that, I miss custom lobbies more than anything.
I’m already there. Haven’t played in weeks, and I check the forums for updates(there aren’t any) every few days. To my knowledge the devs have given ZERO indication that they intend to make any significant changes to the multiplayer. I suspect well get little tweaks and adjustments to stuff, but the overhaul it needs? I’m not holding my breath. Theres been a weeks long discussion about transparency going on, but still seems like radio silence from devs about multiplayer. I Hope they invested my 80$ well from this game purchase, because it’s the last money I’m giving them.

Last PG stream after they say they are gonna fix wallride in series 6 somethink like “after that we will continue improve mp every month”
Overhaul, even tho this moment online is really bad i dont see it would need totally overhaul to be good, after wallriding gets fixes i would like to see they make something abaout ramming and corner bombing and remove freeroam rush and i can see myself spend some time playing in online, sure it’s still not perfect but in that point it would be allready mutch better than it was month ago.

I didnt mean overhaul like, throw it all away and start over. More like add a new custom adventure mode with drivatars and convoy members that allows us to choose all the rules of the adventure.
I want to be able to choose the kind of racing I do, hence class/race type choice for adventure. They took a mode from fh3 and gutted it down to an incredibly simple concept. I want the option to grab a car i like and go do adventures in it.
In it’s current state the adventure modes have zero appeal to me, and it’s not the ramming and wall riding that ruins it. I spend almost all of my time racing A and under cars in single player, and we all know in their infinite wisdom the devs decided to exclude anything under A from online completely. I’m happy others are able to enjoy the game as it stands now, but I dont. And I have the impression PG will never make enough changes to bring me back. You mentioned the livestream and my eyes almost rolled out of my head lol. I refuse to watch those so I was unaware of their newly vague statements.

In a move that surprised pretty much nobody, in team adventures there is always an EXTREME OFF-ROAD, or OFF-ROAD, sometimes i saw it in free adventures, myself got a Jeep Trailcat in Street Races in S2, and I got mysself pretty well cuz i won both the freeroom rushes, against Mono, LaFerrari, man that just brilliant, i can take the 3rd place against hyper/super cars with a Jeep, congratulations Turn 10 / Playground Games
Take out Freeroom Rush from online adventures, at least take out the points

My main complaint in any online adventure really for FH4. Free Roam Rush. It has completely no place in ranked adventure. It isn’t even skill based. It honestly is about how many trees you can dodge in a forest. Basically luck. Please take it out.

Freeroam rush is the best event in the game. I know people hate to hear that but if you’re constantly bumped outside the flag you’d welcome it just as I do. I win it about 95% of the time, so yes I dont want it to ever go away. Until ghost racing is a thing, freeroam gives me a chance to win the lobby.
Then the stats page needs to be updated. Why is it strictly wins and losses? I’ve finished podium more times than I can count. I’ve won 75 out 300 or so lobbies and alot of those are 2nd and 3rd place. Would be nice if that tiny bit of info can be displayed. Wins and losses isnt very detailed

It honestly really annoys me when people say this. I suck at freeroam rush, but it absolutely is not luck. I’ve raced against people with >3000 ranking points and they are awesome at it every time. They set off in exactly the right direction, take exactly the right route, and slaughter everyone every time.

I have to admit, I feel I’ve been pretty patient and understanding over the last few months, but seeing the choices they’ve made as to what to work on is pretty depressing. No visible progress on anything anyone has been asking for, and loads of stuff that I don’t think anyone at all has been asking for? About the only thing that seems to respond to something many people have complained about is the Bone Shaker becoming available again.

I guess I would be disappointed but hey when you’ve already lost all confidence and faith in them improving the game well I guess I’ll continue to play other games for now and will not be preordering the next FM or FH game. I hope they come out on Game Pass like this one did so I can test it out without wasting money. The demo and trailers for FH4 were awesome but they never showed anything on MP and the devs kept hush hush on it because they knew it would be a steaming pile.

What did they say about the Bone Shaker?
Specifically, it’s a reward for one of the new Playground Games Seasonal Championships, but they didn’t say when exactly. Sounds like the Lotus 2-Eleven next season, Bone Shaker some time after that.

Will be available this month, Capri FE next month. Might be an event reward, in which case there will be people unhappy they can’t get two of them. I raced against an S1 Bone Shaker last night, and obviously you need two of them if you want to use it for both A and S1 class (unless they do something useful like adding the ability to apply one of your saved tunes after you’ve chosen your car, instead of adding more Horizon Stories).
Hmm I’d have preferred them to nerf it rather than make it widely available, but I guess it’s better than nothing. It’s a shame as I find it an ugly car but I guess you pretty much have to use it in A class if everyone else is. Ugh. I really hope it isn’t as dominant in S1 class.
It seemed to mainly be a wallriding and freeroam rush car. I was in the '08 Viper and it couldn’t match me on any twisty bits without walls to ride, but he was skilled at using ramming, blocking and wallriding to get in front and stay there. It seemed to wallride better than my car, possibly due to having better acceleration after leaving the wall. He was 1st and I was 2nd in every race, but he had over 3000 ranking pts and drove perfect freeroam rushes so I think he’d still be very good if the game changed to stop his current tactics.
Only on certain tracks and definitely not the “jack-of-all-trades”-car it is on A-class. Way more alternatives and better choices on S1.
On topic: I guess we have reached the point where we have to accept the online modes in the way they are now. Except for the “wallriding fix” but who knows which can of worms they’ll open up with this “fix”. I can see people squeezing others into the walls if they’re gonna have extremely high friction.
Still no words on Rivals, class/race type selection, D,C & B class and if Freeroam Rush will stay in every playlist ruining RWD/FWD cars. So I’m sure we are left with what we have → no ranked mode for me.
