How do we dump 4K update?

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH3 Discussion

I knew it, Forza 3 played just fine and the HDR looked great. I actually liked the way this game looked even after seeing Forza 7.

But now with the update, blurry mountains in the background and the clay dirt looks bland/flat and you can no longer see the body lines on the cars.

Why??? So really seriously hope there is a way to dump the 4K cuz the games looks like crap now.

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it

You say nonsense. After the update, the game looks fantastic. Magnificent smoothing, better details, better reflections, better shadows. It looks like a completely new Horizon.

Totally agree, it’s night and day better, more of a leap in visual quality than any console generational leap, IMO, because it has gone from a horrible aliased mess to making aliasing barely noticeable. I’ve been holding off playing it till now, and am glad I waited.

So not answering the question, how do we dump the update. I’ll show pics, blurry mountains and the clay dirt might as well be a cloud cuz you can’t see any detail at all now.

Drive the car and see the dirt magically appear then randomly disappear. I don’t think it’s Turn 10s fault as much as it’s Xbox One X just can’t handle true 4K. Next gen maybe but the fact they couldn’t run this game in 4K 60 FPS should tell you everything you need to know

The Xbox One X clearly can handle true 4K and this along with Forza 7 prooves it. Forza7 can run at 60fps because of the nature of the game being on a set track, easier to optimise.
Forza Horizon is an open world game, and it runs great at 4K, the developers weren’t quite comfortable with the performance at 60fps so they kept it locked at 30.
Visually the game is almost identical to even the best most expensive PC’s running the game. It’s only the framerate that let’s it down.

I don’t really know why you expect FH3 to run at 4K, 60fps and be stable on a piece of hardware that costs £430.
I have a GTX1060 graphics card in my PC and it can’t run FH3 at 4K 60fps either, it only runs at about 40fps generally but the framerate is all over the place dipping below 25fps in places and that is wiithout 4x AA applied. This graphics card costs about £300 by itself.

Personally I think Forza Horizon 3 is now the best looking game on Xbox One X and just prooves what it is capable of.

it does look spectacular but i argue hitman goty edition is a sight to behold

The only way you could “dump” the Xbox One X enhancement would be to get a Xbox One or Xbox One S and play the game on that.
Obviously your opinion of this update is something just about everyone disagrees with.
I actually was playing FH3 the day before the update and after it installed it’s a night and day improvement.

Do you have access to a DeLorean?

I thought it looked great, not really noticing any difference thought. That is until I updated my one s, and played it, then I noticed how much finer the detail was on my one x.

Oh, so no 4k for XBOX ONE S? I thought the S could run 4k, but I guess I was mistaken.

Nope, The S still runs games exactly the same as the Standard XBox One. It only take the 1080P gameplay and upscales the output to 4K HDR, and if your 4k TV is not HDR then it is only a very minor different in image quality.

There is very slight increase in performance, not enough to upgrade though based on this alone.

The Xbox One S pretty much has the same power as the standard Xbox One. If it could run games at 4K, what would be the point of the Xbox One X.

Xbox One S outputs at 4K HDR
Netlfix Amazon and Blu-Rays are all native 4K and support HDR
Games are upscaled from 1080p and can support HDR
