I’m new to the forza horizon franchise and I’m really enjoying this game.
However, I can’t seem to figure out how to race other players, it is very confusing to me. I join a forza horizon live session, so I’m in the same map with other real players. But when I go to a race and chose pvp nobody ever seems to join. I see them driving on the map but I can’t seem to figure out how to race against them. Do I have to wait until I can play ranked?
I tried to find some information on how to do this but to no avail.
If somebody could please give me some pointers and tips on how to race other people, that would be very much appreciated. Also, I’m not in a team or club, or have any IRL friends who play this.
Yeah most are just doing their own thing apart from the hourly Forzathon live. Might be an idea to invite friends that want to race pvp. You will have to add people that you meet in game to your friends list first though.
Only advice i xan give you is wait to see if they fix the online side of the game, if they dont fix it then many players are going to leave and go back to fh3, as it stands we are being dictated as to what we can and cant play
If you are in a Horizon life session you drive up behind a player and press the button displayed on your screen (if you have head-to-head enabled) and you should be able to race other players.
Races in free roam which are hosted as co-op or pvp won’t start for most of the time. First because the notification is nearly invisible (a “1” pops up right above the minimap and you can view it via “LB”) and second because the system is lackluster. If the event isn’t perfectly set via a blueprint you can’t see which class is being raced before you join. I joined an S2 “Classic Muscle” player with my B600 because it didn’t show me which class the host is in.
The other online mode is “team adventure”. It’s a series of team-based races without player choice of tracks or classes. Also not fun.
In the current state I would not recommend any of the online modes aside from races with team/club members or friends.
the current online is so trash it just makes the hardcore players quit the game i cant play this anymore its a good game but the online settings & bugs is just unplayable its so unrewarding for being good in the game its just purely rng based
also i think they changed rivals? its also trash unplayable
please hire someone that actully plays online hardcore gamer with no life to tell what the settings and how the online should be so we dont gotta deal with this trash
Took me and my brother two days to even get each other added as friends (you have to use the Xbox app thing, only found that by accident when I created a Team).
Now we just join each others games in convoy and do various races (the convoy lead basically controls everything to enter) had some good fun apart from in game voice chat does not seem to work for anybody.
I play an Early Access Survival game (made by 7 people) and voice Chat worked well in that from the start. so it cannot be that hard to get right for a full professional team can it.
FH4 needs some in game tutorials for how to create and connect with friends in convoy etc.
(pull up invite friends and unless you have added them previously in the Xbox app thing even on PC you wont see anybody).
Thank you all for your replies, glad to know I’m not the only one struggling. It’s kinda sad that a casual race between people is not easily implemented.
I’ll continue playing solo for now it seems, or maybe try to meet some people so that I can play against real people.
Can I join a team adventure race (eventhough they are not fun) if I don’t have a team or anything?
Don’t get me wrong; I am also irritated by these many issues (feeling a bit like Destiny 2 all over again where they don’t listen to us customers for update fixes, surprised they’re not made by the same company.) I very much like this game despite all the issues (like having to close the whole game just to exit team adventure.)
I for one think team adventure is fun. Just hit start, then hit RB twice, then hit A, and it will launch a multiplayer race.
