November 17th Update, are there patch notes?

There is no info on what’s been updated on FH3. Is there any patch note? Can’t see if there is any new Wheelspin Horizon cars either.

I was wondering what todays update was for, anyone know?

[Update: A friend of mine told me they patched the wall breach glitch at the Horizon Hubs when you searched for a new freeroam lobby]

Could be the HE car rotation update or for tonight’s forzathon or just a simple bug patch like for invisible cars

Thursdays are typically update days for Windows 10. If there are no notes about it I would guess that they’re general performance improvements and fixes from the Known Issues list. If the console got the update, then that would possibly indicate a content change.

People should not be left guessing or assuming.

This. This is one of the big problems with this developer/company. They don’t communicate with their playerbase, and the players are left guessing about everything.

They don’t really need to write a big article about every little update they do…

Just got prompted to update my game a minute ago, kinda weird since I have my Xbox set to Instant-On. Anyway does any one know what this update’s for?

No. Typically a developer won’t write a “big article” about every update. They do, as a matter of practice, release some form of patch notes on every update made to software their customers use. Whether in the form of a readme file, blog post, or link to more information.
Every software update I’ve ever issued has them. Every OS update includes them. Even relatively insignificant phone apps include them. And you can bet Playground has them as well.
So for a game many people are still heavily invested in, i can’t blame customers for wanting a bit of transparency on how their game will be affected. If there is an update (i haven’t fired it up yet).

1.0.23.0 now… or something like that…

OFCOURSE THEY DO. WE BOUGHT THEIR GAME! WE NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING THEY CHANGE TO OUR GAME. EVEN IT’S 1MB UPDATE or 1000MB UPDATE. It’s their responsibility.
IN COUNTER STRIKE GO, even if VALVE FIX THEIR CHICKEN GRAPHICS THEY EVEN MENTION IT. THATS CALLED BEING A PROFESSIONAL. AND THEY ARE DAMN RIGHT MAINTAINING IT.

I agree up to a point.

I want to know 2 things.

  1. Content eg HE cars
  2. Are they fixing something that i may have done a workaround for or are they breaking something that did not need fixing.

I dont need to see every change but would like at least a summary.

Where did I ask for a big article? Show me in my post where I asked for that. Just an acknowledgement from a dev or somebody saying “Oh, just some performance fixes” etc etc would be enough.

I didn’t claim that you said that you [Mod Edit - D]. Just making a point, they don’t have to write up about an update every time one happens. Obviously, the one today isn’t game-changing enough to talk about.

Not to mention the fact that when a AAA title is THIS broken, YEAH, we should be able get a couple bullet points every couple weeks to know what’s going on. I think the second a developer makes any downgrade to a game like they did a while ago with the visual downgrade in one of the updates, then the consumer should have a right to know what they’re doing to a product we’ve already payed for.

You’ll find that 90% developers make patch notes. Probably more than 90%. It always bothered me that they don’t

This is possibly a beta patch. developers don’t like to advertise their bug fixes when they may not work.

You sure about that?

There were changes in the last patch, some that people had been crying out for but they chose to say nothing then.

Server’s for Console look to be down… Maybe applying the update\hotfix?
