Will this be eventually patched? I really love the game you’ve made here, but I was never able to launch the game and unfortunately had to get a refund. Playing without these two programs is out of the question. I use Afterburner to set my fan curves and variable clock to maintain the best temp/performance balance. I use RTSS to monitor my CPU/GPU temps and performance during gamplay to find the best settings possible. I use RTSS to limit my frames as well, as this is part of setting up my Gsync monitor and make it work properly.
Forza 7 and Horizon 3 work with these programs running. There is no reason why Horizon 4 wouldn’t work. As a PC gamer, we are used to having more control over our hardware that we’ve spent so much money on and the way we play the games we paid for. I think developers should respect that and also give us the freedom to play the game under our own, personalized environment. It’s the whole point of gaming on PC; a fully customized and personalized experience.
Is this just a bug, or you simply don’t want us to have background programs running to prevent cheating? I hope it’s just a bug and gets patched soon. If not, I will feel really disappointed that I won’t be able to experience this game.
I know this probably won’t be answered. But if the relationship between customers and yourselves as developers means even a tiny bit, you will at least take a few seconds of your time to let us know you’re looking into it.
