New update that released today now lag spikes, freezes and drops frames.

This update ( https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/360001991228-FH4-Release-Notes-October-10th-2018 ) now makes my game lag spike, freeze randomly and drop frames from 60 FPS to 51 FPS causing freezes and lag spikes. It never used to do this, but it’s becoming an annoying and on-going issue ranging from free roam to all races now.

Revert this patch until this gets fixed.

Does anyone at Turn10 and Playground Games actually test their updates?


CPU: Intel i5-6600 3.3GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB FTW
RAM: HyperX Fury Black 8GB
Windows version: 1809

Before today’s update? Same build and specs.

Afterburner running? No. Nothing is running in the background except for Discord and that’s it.


Update #1:

  • 4 days later, they fixed the ‘Fixed the Goliath credit glitch’ rather than the game itself.

On xbox this is also happening, this makes the game unplayable for me at the moment.
Menu’s open “sluggish” feels like it takes 5 times longer, free roam is like giving input and response comes a second later.

==> after 2 console reboots the game feels normal again, no more lagging atleast

Game ran flawless for me all last week, even last night. Now today with the update, I get a crash every time at the main menu (continue, options,etc…). Please fix this !

I’m on an Xbox One S and it lags like crazy. My cars are in slow motion and I’m unable to join pvp races or coop races… i join but I get disconnected at the beginning of every race.

Same problem here with xboxone X.
Was running fine untill I updated thismorning, now it is almost impossible to play and when it does work its so stuttery it makes you sick

Hello , after completing Prolog i got a problem , fps drop from 55-74 to 16-43 fps , Game freezes , small lags almost always , changing game setting didnt helpt . delayed reaction after pressing the key

Specs:

Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb
Intel i5-6600K (3.5)
16gb ram
370gb hdd free space

I got newest Nvidia drivers.

Even with MSi Afterbour… fps are staying same

Im using Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition

Having same sort of issue. Massive lag spikes. It looks like gpu usage drops to 0% for about a second.

Specs:
I5 3570k
1070 8gb
8gb Ram

Same here. I5 4570, 8GB RAM, 1060 6GB. Game used to run perfectly with 0 dips below 60fps at ultra settings. The game still runs at a smooth 60fps but it starts stuttering more and more as I play. Audio glitches, game stopping for more than two seconds at a time sometimes, and by the 30 minute-ish mark it gets so bad that i stutter more than I don’t.

4 days later, game is still a buggy hell of a mess.

But hey, you fixed the ‘Fixed the Goliath credit glitch.’
Sips tea

4 days later, game still crashes on main menu.

I haven’t even seen winter, haven’t been able to purchase the weekly cars in Forzathon store.

Waiting for some news from the devs…

I was having lag spikes too last couple days but was related to an nvidia driver update, if you have an older nvidia card like me ( gf 950 ) try going for the older 399.24 driver https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/399.24/399.24-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe

I’m having the same issues on Xbox since the last update. Lag spikes every 30 seconds. Xbox menu reacts very slow or not at all. When I’m in a party I sound laggy or I disconnect. It’s perfectly fine on other games and was also fine before the patch. I feel they released the patch too soon to prevent the Goliath exploit.

Pls fix this asap. Game is unplayable

Try turning off the “Game Mode” in Windows settings, kinda fixed the problem for me

Ah, at least I’m not alone. Crash2Dash, complete freezes, input lag and online is like a wheelspin. May work or not. Sometimes I’m online, most of the time I’m not. Or I am and the game just reports me as off. XBL is fine all the time. XONE S.

It was fine before the patch.

Even here. I needed to lower settings to medium, but I’m still having fps drops.

Forza 7 normally runs at 60 fps, and hardly has a small drop of fps.

i5 3470, 8gb ram, gtx 1050 ti 4gb

Forza horizon 3 seems to have this problem until today, do you think they will correct this problem in fh4 so soon?
