PPG choices of game issues to address

With all the bugs in FH5 this is what they spend their time fixing?

  • Fixed interior instrument panel reflections in the 1994 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta
  • Body kits can now be found in the conversion section for multiple cars

How about they skip all the car detail related bugs and focus on the bugs that actually impede game play!

Just saying, these bugs are unrelated to platforms and hardware. So they affect everyone and are reproduceable, which makes them easier to fix.
I agree that there are more pressing issues with the game, but I’m happy for every bug fix I get, no matter how small.

I need a serious fix cant get online for months now

They are very easy to fix… and I doubt they took very long to fix. So, maybe they should have their developers/QA work more than 1 hour per week :wink:

Just to pick my favorite headache… (yes I’m a Rush fan, and yes I know it on Geddy’s solo album)

The leaderboard has been an issue from previous version. I can’t see why a Microsoft company would have used a third party solution to implement a relatively simple database… and the code/SQL to fix the problem can’t be that difficult so why don’t they take ask their developers/QA to work one full day per week and FIX THE LEADBOARDS! :slight_smile:

I can’t believe PGG has never said anything about why they wont fix them.

Actually it was announced that they slowly try to clean them (in multiple steps to counter different kinds of cheating/ exploits). So they are aware of it and at least plan somthing for it.
Also there are a few ridiculously high scores that are obviously not legit, but for a lot of scores/times it’s not obvious,…

And I have played a bit since the update and I have to say I definitly notice the stability and performance improvements on my machine. For me that was a huge step in the right direction.

That’s a good example for more pressing issues.

Check out the new S2 rival challenge leaderboard. The number one player has a lap time of 0.06 seconds. Hypersonic flight?

I can see that cleaning the database would be a slower process, but, from a SQL standpoint, its is stupidly easy to check database table insertions for certain constraints… they can start out easy… make sure the lap time doesn’t require the braking of the sound barrier! :wink:

They could manually clean up leaderboards partially/entirely but that won’t stop leaderboards being polluted by bugged times again. I believe they are slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwly fixing the underlying bugs and then they may finally do a one off clean. Then again who am I kidding.

I was thinking about this the other day, and I’m pretty convinced that a vast majority of the Playground Games production crew has moved on to working on Horizon 6 while a small crew works on Horizon 5’s second expansion and an even smaller skeleton crew is working on support and bug fixes for Horizon 5 as a whole. That would explain the snail-like pace when it comes to actually new content and bug fixes. Of course, we can’t know for sure, but that’s my theory at least.

Real, So sorry you can’t play. Read your other posts. If you can get in, try solo. Connection to servers has been somewhat broken since around the 1st. I have same issue with the difference of playing solo. Now I just come across code issues. I think your problem could also be code related. So you could play solo with a few things you won’t be able to do. But minor in comparison to playing Live. Hope this helps.

PPG posted this months ago… still no fix.

" * Leaderboards - We’re investigating a solution to remedy erroneous lap times and high scores being posted to Rivals and PR Stunts leaderboards. This remains a high priority for our team and we hope to introduce new safeguards to tackle the situation around cheating in the future. We don’t expect this to be a quick fix but we’re committed to ensuring the leaderboards are fair and not compromised."

I don’t think they are “commited to ensuring the leaderboards are fair and not compromised”.
