New paint store update where are my designs?

What on Earth where you guys thinking with the new update ?
Not only have vinyls and designs gone upon searching that were once there, I now can’t even look at my own designs in my storefront as it only shows the car I am currently using ?
Surely this is an over sight ? Please change this back as soon as you can.
As a designer I want to keep an eye on my designs and I also want others to see those designs, if someone looks at my store I want them to see all my cars not just the one they are using, surely this is the whole point to advertise your designs and for someone to see a design they like on the spare of the moment and buy it.
The new system is surely not needed ? Who needs a code for a design ?
You just need a gamertag and the car model ? Why has this been over complicated and the whole system messed up as a result ?!!
Please tell me I’m not the only one really not liking this and hoping it gets addressed soon !! Very very soon !!!

Thank you for your time.

Yes, exactly! They have made a major mistake with this change which could affect the sales of FH5. In other words this mistake could cost them money. You want people to see your designs, and a 9 number code is harder to remember than Aquapainter168 which shows them all of my designs, and they may download a few of them.

Now everything is gone, and a code that will reduce my shop to 1 image. Who would have a shop window with 1 item in it?

This is bad game design, and I’m a game designer.

You are not the only one who has noticed this and is unhappy with it, there is some discussion on it here: https://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst160641_Series-19---Monday-livestreams--upcoming-content-update.aspx

They haven’t yet said whether it’s a bug or an intentional change, but I have to assume it is a bug. If / when they will fix it, remains to be seen.

I’m not a talented designer but I made some respectable results and with this “update” I lost part of the entertainment, btw I’m “glad” it is a common issue thought it was just a problem of my account lol.

I don’t think it’s actually a bug, or an issue, I think it is a deliberate change to the HUB. You only see the car that you are sitting in in your HUB now, but the idea makes the game far worse than before, almost unplayable for artists.

Yup! Same here!

Massive backwards step.

I’ve thought since I first started playing FH4 on early release that the “Creative Hub” needs more flexibility, not less.

For both Tunes an Liveries there should have been the option to view the stats related to either of them (downloads, likes etc) and also the ability to delete and also batch delete.

Like I said up top, a massive backwards step.

In the paint shop, it wouldn’t be so bad if there was a filter option so you could choose to seeing ALL your designs or just the ones for the car you currently in.

That would save having to trawl though 500 liveries looking for one, but this is just a bit too much.

They should also copy one thing that FM7 does right: when you are in your garage and go to your saved paints, it should show you the paints for the car you are currently in, first. I have over 300 paints, some of which are for similar looking models, so it can be laborious trying to find the right one.

It’s amazing this wasn’t done from the outset because it’s so obvious?

Honestly guys, are you indeed surprised, day 1 this feature was proposing reporting or download your own tunes and liveries, not displaying number of downloads for tunes , it is not even displaying the full list of tunes, no sorting, nothing.
From creative hub we should have been able to delete, share/unshare, lock, unlock, compare tunes & liveries, have a counter of the number vs available slots, numerous filters to compensate the need of cleaning related to limited number of tunes …
How many improvements/fixes occurred on this feature since day 1 ?

Please don’t complain the dev here, they don’t do the priorities and the quality of the solution. Project Owner/Director is the only one deciding on priorities and effort done on quality, developers , they are the one under pressure to deliver always faster.

I’m surprised by nothing anymore. Frustrated, absolutely. Continually coming close is what they do. Almost doing something that makes sense. But I don’t know how to make a game, how to fix tthings when they go wrong. I’m still gonna play it. And I’ll still not be surprised when things go wonky from an update. It is what it is.

I’m surprised that they would remove anything from the HUB when actually it needed a couple of things adding to it such as Number of uses for each car. The HUB also seems to have a pointless item called Blueprint Downloads that is always zero.

Don’t fix those, just make things worse seems to be the motto.

The removal was not intentional but effort on testing is on eliminator, creative hub tests were not reviewed/skipped and boom. Not more to say about it, creative hub is underground feature, if it does not work, how many players of eliminator will notice …
Overall, I don’t get the idea of ID for tunes and liveries, mean, it’s not bad one but doesn’t help eliminator players does it ? never heard about anyone requesting such feature … anyway not the topic.

Gone are the days of a quality working game. Seems like ever since they moved to the XB1 platform they stopped having a QA team verify “ANYTHING”!! I don’t remember us having any of these issues with the old X360 platform. I truly believe they have stopped all internal testing of the game and updates and are allowing us the gamers to report issues and failures.

We are the unpaid free labor QA employees!!

MS let there testing staff go long ago. All home users of WIn10 are the QC team for this OS now. Thankfully those of us who are on the business channel can defer upgrades in the OS for a period of time while the bugs are worked out. Unfortunately, the bugs are being worked out on the backs of the home users who have no choice in the matter.

Designs and tunes aren’t gone, well not for me on Xbox One X.

If you go to My Designs within the menu you can see all the designs you have including downloaded ones and they will say whether they are shared or not by clicking on them. From the creative hub you do see only the designs for the car you are in, yet viewing tunes via creative hub for me at least all of them are there for all cars. It’s just the designs that have changed.

Im sure as the designs are still shared and an update will correct the designs via the creative hub as for me at least nothing has been deleted or unshared and downloads, likes and uses are still there for each design.

Could it be that the requirement was to filter mydesigns to display only the liveries for the current car, which would make sense since you can swap car in the same menu (My tunes equivalent ). This followed by the dev who received the requirement, did it on hub instead, where it makes no sense, …

Would any other major developer not have a forum rep to give feedback to the community on such issues. If this was Codemasters’ forum it would probably have received an official response within a day, if not within hours. ‘We are aware of this bug and will fix it as soon as we can’ would be great? Is that so hard? Apparently it is.
