I’ve noticed something weird: Sometimes when you open your map you see a lot of players really close to where you are. However, then you close the map and enter free driving mode, only to find that they all somehow disappear! This is rather obvious when you are in fortune island’s longest drift zone. I wonder how does this happened?
Maybe they participate in a Forzathon Live.
Yeah, during Forzathon Live, participating players are put into their own phase of the world away from other players and traffic.
online it can only display up to 12 players at same time but the lobby can hold up to 72
if someone of those 12 players in ur phasing will leave/dc it will be replaced by another guy
i think the phasing is very bad cause you are pretty much stock with the 12 players it wont zone out and change players
i hope they increase to limit up to 24 player lobbys in races + freeroam world
I’ve noticed this before forzathons start. You’ll see a dozen or more in the map but only 2-3 in the radar. Drive around the zone and don’t see the others.
The lobby system in FH4 supports up to 72 players, but the game can still only show a max of 12 players on screen at any one time. So sometimes a player will be invisible to you.
I’m not sure how the game chooses who you can see, but it seems there are some limitations due to hardware. I play on PC and another friend who plays on a much weaker PC then mine often has issues where he can’t see me for a few minutes after I’ve swapped cars, But I have no problems seeing him.
