Earlier on I looked at Kudos, it was 8887. I had a few gifts received, maybe that was part of the 8887, maybe not. Anyway, I cleared the messages and 8887 was the number.
I did a game of H&S, quit the mode to report a bug. At that point, I think, I got a gift, picked it up and regifted it. I also routinely gift all duplicate cars from wheelspins and typically this happens every day or every other day, often multiple times.
Anyway, 8887.
I then played H&S and went up a few levels. I quit the mode to do other things. There was a message that a car had been delivered.
Kudos was still 8887.
Ages ago I remember there was issues but have not specifically noticed a problem for quite a long time but haven’t really been looking. One thing of which I am certain is that back in 2021 the Kudos not being awarded seemed to be linked to being in a race at the time the gift got picked up.
Goodness only knows how many points I’ve missed from this issue.
Quick question. is this on the PC or the Xbox?
The reason I ask is because I’ve noticed that on the PC, I get the messages about plays/gift thank yous etc but no Kudos is given even with a game restart
The next time I log into the Xbox, the Kudos updates and I get an onscreen “while you were away…” message even if its minutes apart so I think there is a problem on the PC side of things

Xbox for me. I do get “while you were away” messages and don’t ever play it on a PC. I always thought it was something to do with kudos from downloads and uses giving that “while you were away” message. Car gifts don’t seem to, I rarely get the “while” message but usually gift a car multiple times a day. Feelin tired, hope that makes some sense!

I am not getting all Kudos as well.
This is an issue right since game release. It has been much worse back then.
But still now - from time to time - I am not getting the Kudos from gifted cars. I am getting all Kudos from designs / tunes (after download).
I think it is a server side issue - like a server crash which has to manually restarted by PGG/T10.
Why do I think so? I could never figure out when it happens and when not. But it does not seem connected to what I am doing in game. As I am playing very often but then only for some minutes I am getting “GIFT RECEIVED” messages right now when I start the game (before doing anything).
What I realized that quite often it happens over weekends and works again from Monday. In this case I am not getting Kudos for any of the messages (if there are more than one).
Playing on XSX.

it did seem to me to correlate with being in an event but it wasn’t totally clear, that’s certain

I’m a tuner and blueprinter so my kudos mostly comes from there but I tried an experiment earlier on the xbox one x.
I gifted about 50ish cars after claiming my tuning/blueprint kudos from messages and after about an hour, 2 cars came back with a thank you but no increase in kudos and a few mins later, another came back as delivered (so no thank you) and my kudos increased by 1
I left it a few more mins just in case it needed time to catch up but no change to cars delivered or kudos increased
I was under the impression that 1 thank you = 1 kudos but today it was 2 thank yous = 0 kudos but 1 no thank you = 1 kudos
I don’t know if its ever been explained how the kudos system is supposed to work with gifting but to me it currently seems to be backwards of what you’d expect
I will see what happens with the remaining cars as they get delivered but so far it looks off

I think the idea is if a car is collected 1 Kudos is awarded regardless of the message. Sometimes, though, it seems to fail. It isn’t clear why but it did appear to correlate with being in an event - perhaps, I’m not sure.

Any discussion is academic, though, it’s not going to get investigated and if the same system is used in the next Horizon game the bug’s going to be copied and pasted.

Completely agree with you - built from the ground up!

They changed the game behavior since game release:
In the beginning, you got a “Thank you” message much more often than today. Now most messages are just “Delivered”.
As the “Thank you” message is the first and you can just click it without moving the selection and I do not think that players are more rude today than in the past, I think that whenever somebody says “Thank you” before you read the corresponding message then you get a “Thank you” - otherwise if a player has not collected the car yet you only get “Delivered”.
I did not watch a difference regarding the Kudos between “Thank you” and “Delivered” but I will have a look and update.

I had a few notifications back with thank you/love the car etc and only 1 more as delivered after loading the game a few hours later.
Oddly, my kudos has increased accordingly with the thank you messages so whatever the issue is, it seems to be sporadic in whether it works or not which would be on brand for the bugs in the game because they often aren’t easily reproducible and don’t affect everyone
