Back to the Ugly Sweater Viper, I had 3 Vipers in my Garage, they all looked like they had the same paint job, so I inadvertently gifted or auctioned (I can’t remember exactly) the one that in hindsight, I now realize was the ugly sweater version.
I bought one today at the auction that looked like the ugly sweater version on the preview, but like everyone else, found it didn’t take its skin with it during the auction process.
I never thought this kind of thing would bother me, but here I am, upset that I can’t get that version replaced.
Here’s hoping that we all get another one gifted to us to make up for this problem.
Just a weird kinda note about the Halo livery Jeep. Popped into FH4 and saw it was also a gifted car there (think all the ones in FH5 have been gifted in FH4 too so far) but this one is different. The livery is clearly Halo but a little different from the one on the FH5 Jeep. Just thought I’d share because of the difference and in case some people haven’t been popping back into FH4 since jumping into FH5.
Apologies in advance, relying on google translate here, something may be lost in translation…
If I understand the question, you’re asking if you can get another download of the special livery vehicle ? Short answer is no. With luck you might be able to find one with the special livery in the auction house but there is a chance that when you purchase it the special livery will be removed in the process. Hope that helps.
Like a good number of people, I inadvertently gifted away my VW Bug with the Kwik Fit livery. There are loads in AH with the livery showing but it gets removed if preview or buy the car. I’m not sure if this is by design or not, would be good for Playground to confirm either way as I’d really, really like to get that car back.
The thing is, if the thumbnail displayed properly I would have never got rid of it so losing the livery is the result of an actual bug in the game…
Same here, along with the vette and viper. The vette livery shows up on an auction bought car in my garage but have no luck with the viper or vw. The devs should really make these gifted cars unremovable/ungiftable. I was dumb and did not know any better when gifting duplicate cars in my garage during the holiday gifting thingy from a stupid bug that did not display the livery. PG really dropped the ball on this bug.
January 31st: Head to your My Horizon / Message Center menu and select Download on the GIFT CAR message to collect a 1961 Jaguar E-Type for your garage. This car comes with a Chinese New Year themed livery.
Note:
*The My Cars preview menu image shows standard paint until you save an upgrade to the vehicle.
*Gifted car liveries can’t be restored if they are removed.
I put my Halo Jeep Wildcat in the Auction House by mistake, as the livery didn’t show up in the thumbnail and I’d forgotten about it. When I realised it had the special livery there was no way to cancel the sale. However, the car didn’t sell but the livery was still removed. Having to buy an upgrade to fix this bug seems a bit daft.
I’ve tried changing the tyre pressures on one of the previous gifted cars, only to be warned that the set-up is locked, though I thought it was standard not tuned.
Another point: like the Jeep, this Jaguar is being given free not long after it was a playlist reward. I think the Hoonigan Cosworth was a reward after being given to everyone on starting the game.
Regarding the loss of the special paint, I think we should all initiate a ticket request. I also accidentally put the vehicle with the special paint on the auction house. Fortunately, the vehicle was not sold, but the special paint disappeared when the vehicle was retrieved. Yes, I have already submitted a request ticket, but the reply said that other players need to submit enough request tickets to re-send the vehicle
I’m using Google Translate, so it looks weird. I’m sorry if there’s anything that upsets you
I did the same thing with the Ugly Sweater Viper, and submitted a ticket.
I wouldn’t have given it away if I saw the special livery in the “My Cars” menu. There’s no way now to get a complete car collection if they don’t resend it, so it’s likely I will be less motivated to play the game, which should concern them.
They originally said they can’t give me another one, but the ticket is still open because I continue to make my case.
I don’t really understand why it would be so difficult to resend me the car.
It seems that each agent’s response is different. I made a ticket request again and was told that I can’t get compensation. However, when I was in Forza horizon4, I also made a request for a ticket shortly after removing the special livery gift car by mistake. Later I got compensation why now I’m told not to get compensation but the problem is because repurchasing at Forzahorizon5 auction house or trying to get back a vehicle that wasn’t sold with a special livery will lose the special livery because it seems to be a bug yes if Without this bug I don’t think we would even issue a ticket request of course I didn’t point the bug to the staff because the main reason is still myself I understand your feelings because I want to get all the vehicles just like you
Thanks for contacting us. I wish I had better news for you, but unfortunately we do not provide compensation for the following because there is a verification prompt you must go through to confirm on most of these. (There is no confirmation prompt for vouchers.)
Cars that were lost due to accidental deletion/listing
Cars that are gifted on accident
Gifts or vouchers that are redeemed
Cars that were purchased by accident
Cars that are sold on accident
Removed or deleted gifts, messages, or cars.
Removed gift car liveries.
We do not guarantee any player to player car sales.
Thanks,
It’s a pity it doesn’t seem to be possible to get it again anyway
I delete all duplicate cars, and being as I can’t see which as the special paint, I don’t know which one I am deleting. Special paints are a bug if they don’t show up in the game… not a prize.
