Lost all fun in FH5

I lost all fun in playing forza horizon. Way too many bugs and it seems every update makes it worse. Every fair complain is answered with" its on the list with known issues" and its suddenly solved. No, its not! And by now i know some things never will. Cuz they dont care. I paid a 100 euro , and now i got a game that isnt playable. Crashes when try to open blprint. A hotfix didnt fix my problems. And i ve learn to live with some bugs like my creative hub that didnt work in FH4 andstill isnt in FH5 . Ive had it with this amateurism . And they had a good thing going but screwed up big time.
Btw im dutch so forgive me 4 my bad englisch.

Itā€™s absurdā€¦ I installed FH4 and was completely and totally blown away by how unbelievably awesome it looked at Extreme settings on 4k, running well over 60fps. - I canā€™t get half that framerate with Ultra settings on FH5. - Makes no sense.

I have been playing fh5 since launch and the game is still a buggy mess for me. (Im a console player btw) I often go back to play older forza games because they are much better quality.

Havenā€™t encountered any major bugs. Been about on par with 3 and 4.

itā€™s hard to distinguish a minor bug from a major one if the entire game is a bug :slight_smile:

Apparently they mustā€™ve paid me with a game that works better than yours.

I play on XSX and the only bugs Iā€™ve encountered were sync issues where I lost progress due to switching between XBox and PC which I no longer do. Aswell as bugs related to the weekly chorelist which I no longer do cause the playlist is largely boring.

Aside from that thereā€™s the obvious ā€œbugsā€ such as impossible times on the leaderboards. Overall I believe Xbox players have it quite good and only encounter a fraction of the bugs I hear from the PC community who I genuinely feel sorry for.

Iā€™ve heard horror stories about how bad this game is on PC

Apart from the recent treasure chest bug that only seemed to effect PC, the bugs are pretty consistent across all platforms, PC is certainly no worse or better than console, but of course all PC players hack and cheat apparently.

Some issues Iā€™ve encountered that arenā€™t what I would consider major:

Shortly after launch I encountered an issue where the connection was lost, then the game crashed and because of the inconsistent autosave I lost over an hour of progress. If this happened regularly, I would have considered it ā€œmajor.ā€

I encountered the problem a few times where youā€™d do something at a Home/Festival and it would get stuck loading forever. Annoying, but not major.

I have fallen through the map once or twice. I expect this to happen in every game at least once. Funny, but not major.

Sometimes the latest car pass offering isnā€™t available when it should be. Slightly annoying, but it seems to fix itself with either a console restart or a bit of time in-game.

During Trials Iā€™ve encountered a syncing issue at the finish line where cars teleport back and forth across the line and the position I had when I crossed the line ends up not being my actual position - sometimes to my detriment, other times to my favor.

These forums alone should be proof of how much more PC players are plagued by bugs then Xbox users. Itā€™s understandable too. There are merely a couple of flavors of Xbox which require testing. Where as thereā€™s an endless array of variables to consider when it comes to PC users such as graphics cards/drivers, antivirus/firewalls, custom graphic settings, etc that all impact the stability of the game or in their case instability.

According to the Fixed Issues list, terrain deformation has been fixed for PCs with AMD cards. It is not fixed or they didnā€™t bother to list which card generations it is fixed for.

Mind blowing since the consoles are using AMD chips. Not major, but its obvious nobody checks the work of others on the dev team.

Fenewed my GamePass yesterday. But were too tired to play any FH5 so tried MSFS but couldnā€™t do anything. Then tried Trek to Yumi. Anyway, thatā€™s another story.

Just left FH5 (maybe FOR GOOD/EVER).
Why?
Imo this games stand and falls by itā€™s Co-op features.
Didnā€™t renew my GamePass due to me using it for more or less 90+% of the time playing FH5; 46d 7h 26m are the playtime when looking it up among playtime in progress/achievements/statistics. 95% achievements done as wellā€¦

So Iā€™m not only complaining.
Started playing this firstly in Jan-2022. By then Co-op didnā€™t work. Thought they were going to fix it so focused on other stuff.
But today itā€™s 30th June 2022 and guess what?
CO-OP STILL DONā€™T :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: WORK!

Meanwhile Iā€™ve heard myself around with Twitch and Youtube streamers, as well as different forums regarding this issue and theyā€™re all saying the same thing; it didnā€™t work properly from the start either.

So with that in mind Iā€™m so glad I didnā€™t put any money what so ever for an earlier access but instead waited for it to get opened onto the GamePass.
Then I shouldnā€™t complain, right?
Both yes and no, imo.

Beeing such a high rated franchise they should be giving us a product that has what they say it has.
But instead they want us to just suck it up and they keep shoving out ā€œnewā€ stuff (HotWheels already been released for the FH3) so whatā€™s next?
Another Lego expansion?
A ā€œnewā€ Storm Island/Blizzard Mountain/Fortune Island?
While weā€™re (Iā€™m) at it; why not a new Horizon Rally? Weā€™re already searching around in the recycle binā€¦

NOW GET THIS GAME FIXED, PLAYGROUND GAMES, INSTEAD OF ALL THIS RECYCLED CRAP AND BUGGED FEATURES!!!

Until then Iā€™m off FH5 to enjoy the good games instead. Too bad theyā€™re between 5-10 yoā€¦ :person_facepalming:

Forza Horizon 2012-2021 R.I.P. :headstone::cry::disappointed_relieved:
Were nice knowing you as a former AAA game.
From now on seen as a B-tier or worse, at least for me.

Hopefully Turn10 makes a super great game in Forza Motorsport. Maybe even purchase an Xbox Series X for it alone.
Also hope the new Test Drive Unlimited game is great so I have something new to calm my ā€œFH-nerveā€ with something since the FH5 is killed by itā€™s own developers.
But, I could look into GTA too.

Now you have to excuse me, I have a 100+championships to win on FH2, dunno even know how many for the FH3 as well before maybe returning to FH4. Or travel over to Elder Scrolls Online for goodā€¦

This is how ā€œimportantā€ this game was for me previosly.
Even kept the alarm while I was out of GamePass, about two months ago.
But the current state of FH5, which hasnā€™t changed AT ALL, imo, since I left it late in april itā€™s time to give up.

Why not? The developers are just wanting to shove out new crap (read: recycled crap) to squeeze out some more $$$ despite a faulty productā€¦
Which imo is like they donā€™t give a f**k and thereby kills off this franchise.

R.I.P :headstone:

An issue that was marked as ā€˜solvedā€™ but was never actually even looked at?

Sounds about normal for this team of apes

Its all over both Forza subreddits too. The amount of PC bugs isnā€™t as bad as it was at launch, but they still have it worse than console players

Well since I play on PC, and apart from the obvious bugs that everyone seems to get regardless of platform, I get no more or no less, in fact most of the time I seem to get less, take the not being able to trigger the weekly challenge by owning driving the required car, I can honestly say that has never been an issue for me, the major one that has been a problem is the not being able to do seasonal championships in co-op with random players, which again is something that plagues every platform as far as I know, as for instability and whatever no issues again for me, now of course people can claim I am lieing or whatever, but I can only speak for my experience and have no reason to lie about that.

Now and again - not too often - my car merges into the terrain.

Iā€™ve lost progress on the Daily challenges 3 or 4 times since launch.

Many rims become deformed whilst in motion.

Iā€™ve lost progress on liveries due to crashes.

I donā€™t feel Iā€™m under siege by these bugs to the degree that some are. What drives me to despair with this game really isnā€™t any of that ā€“ itā€™s the lack of proper livery/tune manager. Which is really quite outrageous-- as its so doable to install a counter and a proper catalogue.

Iā€™m on Xbox S.
