It’s pretty lonely with just me and 2 friends in a private lobby
is there no way to add drivatars or open up the lobby?
the current 6 multiplayer presets that let you play with other people are kinda limited

Given that we have official confirmation that this is not a bug, I think the thread title could do with an change.
“Confirmed by Turn 10: Drivatars not available in Private Multiplayer Lobbies”.

Please continue to use the separate Wish List threads pinned in the FM7 discussion forum.
it was bad enough in 6 when you only had a few, but at least you had the choice. The game has a bunch of multiplayer achievements and yet this time it’s outright refused to do your own thing unless you happen to have an army of people. Instead you have to play Russian Roulette with tracks and random twisted metal folk.
Hopefully this will be fixed along with everything else they left out for early access apparently…

Its still a shame we cannot open up lobbys. In my opinion thats where the real forza power lies. I only play in private lobbys. I find the default lobbys really boring where races are way too small. Love to make my own custom circuit setup
Edit: If it will be impossible to putt AI drivers in private lobbys. Then i will only play this game for single player.

Would be great if the Devs or the Staff would give us any indication at all if Drivatars are available in private lobbies. This seems like an odd thing to remove from the Forza series. Why are they being so quiet?

The game feels rushed, it’s a big let down for me right now, I’m considering getting refunded. I bought my Xbox for Forza, maybe it’s time to get a PS4.

Everytime i see a new thread more im hating the game . So no ai in private lobby ? This is ridicilous . Like i predicted all they had to do saying 4K and 700 cars . Theres not even new features in game (expect that homologation [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D]) now they removed some features like adding ai in private lobby .

Want to race with a friend in a private lobby. I can’t seem to figure out how to add AI drivers.

Yes allow M rossi and his gang to race, the limited “drivitars” thing was dumb in forza 6. Also allow us to customize what they drive

Is there a way to play with only one friend in a private lobby ? When i want to start racing with him i get message that there is not enough players. So i can’t figure it out how to play together. What is the minimum requirement for a race to start ?
To get a private lobby started with just one friend you have to group up in the hopper screen before trying to launch the private lobby.
Before we lose our heads, this isn’t the complete game, BUT, I really want the system we had in FM4 where we got to pick what the AI’s drive, that’s was the best feature I’ve ever seen in any racing game. It’d be even better if they allowed it for quick race as well as lobbies.

Would have to agree.
As someone who enjoys Forza and allot of other racing titles it was not until Horizons 3 I was able to get a few friends right into racing games, sure enough we were all excited for Forza 7 with the guys now looking to try their hand at circuit based racing, and now we all find out there is essentially no multiplayer outside of basic lobbies , no AI options AT ALL !!! in private lobbies , no co-op career modes nothing.
3 of us now have essentially a very expensive single player only game. Unless you wish to join a lobby and play ram a car, the fact that the Horizon product is essentially leaps and bounds above the core franchise when it comes to multiplayer is confusing. Worse still there is less multiplayer options than Forza 5 or 6 !!
Total disappointment and total waste of money, sure it sounds great and looks great but again no ability to play the game with friends outside of basic private lobby functions is frankly pathetic.
Why can I not host a lobby with 1 or 3 friends set at least 5 or so AI as well to spice it up and have a race I don’t know considering if memory serves me correct this has been doable in past versions of the game.
Out of all the racing titles on the market this one has hands down the worst online I have seen, in fact it probably has one of the worst online components out of any Forza , and there was zero information pre release that AI in lobbies was going to be removed feel totally ripped off to be honest .
