I have some insane lag in the menus when the race is loading or when you are getting rewards, but ingame is fine. I found a “workaround”… as ridiculous it sounds, it works for me:
when you are getting a lot of lag, simply pull the mouse to the top of the screen, so the header comes up(the minimize/close button etc). It seems that putting the game “out of focus” removes the insane amount of stutter. Which of course doesn’t make sense, but it’s what it is.
In the demo menu-stutters were caused by monitors with refresh rate set higher then 60hz, and G-Sync / FreeSync technology. do you run MSI Afterbuner, or any “monitoring / capture” software?
Also turn off game-mode in windows settings and Windows DVR / Game Bar. it gives less stutter.
well this explains why me putting the forza window out of focus fixes the menu stutter - my monitor is gsync 165hz, and i guess when the game is out of focus it gets capped at 60 fps or something.
Can you please reach out to us at forzafb@microsoft.com so we can continue to investigate this and gather some additional information from you? Thanks.
