This happens in Forza 6 Motorsport too. I believe it is a memory/lag issue that they choose to limit. I run 5 lap races and notice rewind gets a little weird starting around lap 4-5. So, yeah.
I believe it is the way rewind is implemented. It seems like they hold the entire race in memory, and when they run out of memory, they dump it and rewind goes away.
Yup, a common issue in both FH3 and FM6. Not sure why they don’t change how the mechanic works so it doesn’t keep the whole race in memory, especially since FM6 has a focus on endurance races. Made those endurance challenges in FM6 a pain…
At some point during lengthy races, hitting Rewind no longer shows rewinding but instead goes black during the rewind increment and states Loading. Not necessarily a problem but it ends up putting your Drivatar opponents ahead of you when you resume. So much so that you’re better off not hitting rewind anymore because you’ll never catch up.
I found that Rewind failed completely during my “You’re Insane If You Even Try This” race. That was a 50-lap around Goliath Circuit. I got about 1 hour of normal rewind and maybe a half hour with the black screen/“Loading” message. after that, rewind did nothing at all. I think it has to do with some kind of “rewind buffer”?
So i just wasted 4 and a half hours to play 50 laps on goliath circuit, 6 laps into the race rewind was not working properly, would put me back but not the opponents, 20 laps into the race i press rewind just to end up at lap 19 in the last place with all the opponents half the circuit ahead of me. I’m really upset with forza developers, huge drawback for me.
I was doing 10 laps on Goliath, got to my 9th lap, had a crash and rewound the race, i got a black screen, the image reappeared, but upon continuing then drivatars went all directions and i ended up in stone dead last in Surfers Paradise whilst the “leaders” were in the Yarra Valley…
Is this a known issue and are you planning to mend it, many thanks
It’s a known issue. I don’t know if they are planning on fixing it, though.
Rewind works on Goliath until at least the start of the 9th lap. Past that and strange things happen … like you going back to a previous lap while the drivatars don’t.
Ten lap race on Goliath. Lap 9, started lapping last place people, one of them slammed into me. Used rewind, black screen. Still in front of 2nd place guy when I continue, but I drop from 1/12 to 12/12. Look at map and see it placed me miles back from where I was. Entire front of the field (4 places) ended up in last four slots. Guys who won fastest lap times were a full minuted-minute and a half behind. Game basically added a completed lap to their race. I…am displeased.
Yeah well you can hardly blame him for another duplicate thread considering the search bar hasn’t worked in how long now?
And yeah, these duplicate bug threads wouldn’t be as much of a problem if they’d fix their bugs, It certainly seems they’d much rather just tell you not to use a bugged feature, rather than fix it.
