T10 Please Fix Forza 5

Forza Motorsport Legacy Motorsport FM5 Discussion
1

As i have this game in digital form its not like i can send it back and get a refund, however no matter how that may have sounded i dont wish that. I wish you would fix the game, i am really not sure of any patches you may have put out (If Any).
But over time as i have been more agressive in rivals etc i am noticing all kinds of problems, i do not know if it is just me effected by these issue’s but here are a few that have gotten me beyond enraged.

1: The Cloud server (On The Assumption) it is some how used to update in game stats, noticable in (Rivals & Test Tracks “Tuning”) more noticable during drifting. Once sideways if the stats appear (IE) 5480 points Perfect Drift the screen spikes Freezes split second like as if someone started spectating in Forza 4 when lag happened causing slide outs and wall taps.

1: In rivals when challanging friends i am pushing limits obviously there quick i want to be quicker i also am aware accidents are bound to happen, BUT dare i say it how are you supposed to be quicker when…
A) for some reason im noticing AI cars have almost a magnet effect (You Know) your going left or right of a car, maybe pretty close too but its in the clear when all of a sudden bang the AI when should be following a bend left takes a right and turns into you.

B) Not to mention your maybe 5 - 10 feet behind an A.I car your positioning to an opening to O.T, when its does an almost latch effect that causes a clip with the car in front.

C) Rivals challanges such as (Monthly Prauge) Old Skool motors, Firstly why stick SUV’s and Range Rovers in AS A.I what on this planet made you think that was a good idea for iconic OLD SKOOL motors.

As an addition to that pointer when your trying to beat a rivals time and you have 3 of those blocking a corner and funnily enough the same damn corner every lap, leaving you frustrated and seconds down from the same damn spot its a pointless exercise.
You cant get by clean leaving you with a dirty lap, or you go clean but you cant beat the rivals time.
Now i am seeing people fly round this track no issue’s what so ever HTF do they manage that and clean when all im getting is a rolling Road block on the same corners, pitted by A.I and likes of above mentionings.

P.S

Can someone give me a HUG im stressed (LOL) i really want to like this game, or should i say i really do like this game… It just has issue’s i cant tolerate at this moment, that are starting to ruin the game for me as im trying to take a more Pro Stance in the online community.

If your talking about “track days” rivals events there is traffic and you have to avoid it and it does seem like they’re always in the wrong place at the wrong time but each lap they’ll be in different places but turns are bottlenecks that’s why they’re usually there. Some people cheat on track days and hold up traffic so their next lap will be free of traffic for the most part that’s how they get those crazy fast times on the leader boards but I believe that to be cheating so I don’t bother myself trying to beat them

3

And just to mention yes i got my gripes about track days as mentioned and asides driver error which can be agrivating, im talking about several issue’s which are beyond my control that is why i said T10 Please fix Forza 5.

Just a pointer over all buddy.

4

No A.I. in rivals mode.

Sounds like a driver problem and not a game problem. It’s not the games. fault

I am sorry i dont usually like to cut in and call someone out but WORM please tell me how the pointers i made asides the obvious driver errors, are not game mechanics fault and are down to me.

I mean i am sorry but i DO NOT make it lag, i do NOT control AI tendancys ?

would you like to clarify asides teh obvious how its NOT the game ?

7

Well lag is you

I never have problems with the AI

Seems the problem is you. Get a better connection, quit blaming the game for that and not being quick enough

See this is the thing i have a fiber optic broadband plugged in via eathernet and i have compared it and the details nat type open etc with others i know and were all of a similer standing, in terms of the outcome.
There is nothing wrong with my connection and so i say again NO its not me and instead of being a fan boy and blowing hot air up T10’s butt how about aknowledging tehre are issue’s

We already know there are numerous complaints about the drivertardz, the AI in forza 4 was garabage there deffinatly no better here either.

And in regards to my driving ill have you know its pretty good, i wouldnt say i am Number One material but if i could get my tunes just that little bit better i know for a fact i would give most at the very least a good run for there money.
Be it drifting or racing granted there are better out there than me even some of my friends stomp me, but i deffinatly do not lack skill.
So dont mock me and act like its an issue with myself and my connection, and yes you have annoyed me with the usuall responce that fan boys give…

We all know BF4 is one seriously broke game that no amount of patches will fix, while this is BF4 i refer to not FM5 the point is just like you did the fan boys there are still blowin hot air up EA & Dices rear ends.

Now with that said im not saying a bad word about T10 i never said that i didnt like the game eitehr i just asked them to fix it…

If you haven’t already done so, turn the Xbox ones “instant on” mode off in the consoles power settings and restart the system. There seems to be a memory leak in the Xbox ones operating system, which causes a silly amount of system wide slow down (lag).

Ill try that thankyou for heads up, this is something i was not aware of, bit of a shame i liked gettin up in morning and saying xbox on :stuck_out_tongue: lol

11

You can turn it back on again after the restart, but I would suggest repeating the above process once per week to keep everything running smooth. Think of the X1 like a pc, if you keep putting the system into a hibernation mode over an extended period of time, it will eventually clog up the system ram and suffer from slowdown. As we all know, the only way to get rid of that is to do a “cold boot” of the system.

the lag and cloud issues are not just Forza there are a M$ issue. The cloud has went down a couple of times now, and the lag that I have had in this game results around the party system. The party system has lots of issues and is a gaint pain went trying to get people all into party chat.

As for the drivators and track days, You know the issues you have with them and the magnet effect so its up to you to driver better and avoid it. The GIANT KILLER challenge sucks with the SUV but it sucks in a good way. I actually enjoyed the challenge of getting a good lap even if I was screaming at my TV.

people need to just play the game if T10 patches it great but for now just play the game. I’m pretty sick of the amount of whining people do in regards to video game issues, its a game play it and enjoy it. Games will never be perfect and they dont owe us anything once we buy the game, it could always be worst there where alot if broken game on earlier consoles that never got fixed.

that being stayed would I like some patches hellz yes, but I’m not going to cry about it I’m hoping they are working on it. If they dont oh well I still have got my moneys worth out of this game with more then a days game play and still counting. There is not much else in this work I could do for that long for a $100

I am sorry you feel that way and since you are clearly aware of certain aspects that are in game and some that are external to T10, clearly you just confirmed my point when i said its not me that is the problem.

And as for the game and playing it the way it is, im sorry but i didnt pay the money i did on a brand new generation console to be hyped up by a bunch of talk for just the graphics to look good.

As for being careful yeah i hear that and you should be but when your at speed (and i get that like i said) accidents will happen its not always avoidable but it doesnt make it ok to exlude issue’s with the game. Like i said its a sim racing game and im trying to get on the next level WITH OUT cheating or using some cheap shot move to get me to the top of leader boards, to me that is part of the fun part of the game thats what makes me better than the other low lifes (Refering to the glitchers & Cheaters).

And in order for me to do that (be better) my opinion is the game needs to perform not only that but the console/machine also needs to perform, and since you mentioned its not just the game thats causing the issue’s i aknowledge that and respect it.

Thanks SnowOwl :slight_smile: appreciate that and i am aware of both updates march is titan fall specific i believe, and Feb 11th is meant to resolve dashboard issue’s such as storage etc etc apparently tehres more they didnt list but hopefull it may HELP stablize some of the issues were seeing when it come to forza 5.

16

Not entirely, included will be better stability, communications and other items (not mentioned). Keep in mind there are some issues like a voice message sent from Xbox 360 cannot be played on Xbox One, so they’re delving into messaging, communications and player-to-player situations.

Anyway, the place to discuss those items is over on xbox.com on the link I already furnished.

People cheat in the track days Rivals events.

As far as magnetic cars, I have no clue what you’re talking about. Could it be the AI braking early? They do that…all the time. The AI drives like jerks sometimes, but if you know how to look out for them, and when to pass you can avoid them easy enough.

Maybe do some rivals events other than the Track Day stuff, where there are no other cars on the track.

Forza 5 is not a broken game. With a fast enough car, and a bit of skill the AI isn’t much to worry about. If you’re always slamming into them, then they can be. But if you do little more than a mild bump or a slight grind, with plenty of clean passes the AI becomes less and less problematic.

18

Since te majority of starts in solo or rivals is either at the back or in among them @ around mid section, its hard not to get caught up in the AI.

And as for magnetic it could be the breaking as they seem to be an almost instantainious stop no matter how quick the car might be, but the only way i can explain it is im not set on course to hit them (Obviously) your trying to pass and i race cockpit view. So i see most of the space upon targeting my position for an over take, and its like no matter how hard i try once i make a move to over take its like the AI car glitches not a great deal but enough that if you were close enough for perfect pass what should have been clean and clear is now a clip to the AI’s rear end either side depending on over take position.

And confirmation that reset of xbox ones instant on has not changed the lag spike when game stats appear for drifting most noticable on car tuning when testing on a track, and again in rivals.

Just remember! It’s a Cloud Powered Based Game, Yeah Update After Update Suck’s, But It’s Worth It… I Mean They are Updating it every other month, once almost 4X in one month. Only Time Can Tell, This Game Can Literally Mutate Because Of The LARGE Updates Through The Games Digital Content. This Allows Them To Update Every Single Little File & Feature In The Game. Some Area’s Of The Game Being Harder Than Other’s for them to Patch or Fix. But they Do Hear Everyone!

I Wish i would of been able to buy a LCE Digital Edition, It Doesn’t Exist Though, & i got the Disk LCE Edition & Now i just wish i could own the Digital Version so i don’t have to touch the disk every time i want to boot the game. It’s the only game i own the Disk To, Every Other Game Is Digital Version’s.

I Personally Liked the AI On the track on the monthly rival’s event, They do crash into wall’s & drive all funny, but i like when they GET OUT OF MY WAY! LoL! I Think it has something to do with the Driver Sync & The Cloud why the car’s all crash & freak out.
but you’re right about the SUV Thing, It’s Supposed to be Old School Motor’s Event, Not Old School Muscle VS New School SUV’s. So They should of at least threw some Muscle Car’s on the track rather than SUV’s.

Just Keep Faith In T-10, I Know it’s a bit hard to do sense this game’s been basically a disaster, people already screaming in there head’s for a Forza 6 ALREADY!.. But It Is A Cloud Powered Based Game, It Can Update In Way’s That Would Be Visually Noticeable, To New Menu’s, Setting’s, New Car’s, New Track’s. The Sky’s The Limit With The Power Of An Update With The Xbox One. They Can Update Every Single Little Thing.

In A Few Months Time this game will probably do a 360 & shock everyone with 1 powerful update, they can update the game so hardcore it would be basically Like a FM6. Or Maybe A Forza 5.1 Update Kind Of Thing. These Cloud Powered Updates Can Change Everything Inside The Game! EVERYTHING!!! Even So BIG of An Update That Auctioning Car’s & Selling/Gifting Car’s Will Be Possible, You’ll Be Able To Sell Back Part’s To The Game. Also No Telling What The Expansion Pack’s Hold Yet Either? :slight_smile:

Also i hate when cheater’s cheat. Ughhh… it really ruin’s the Limited Time Monthly Rival Event’s, I Just Really Like Those Rival Event’s To Up My Driver Sync, I’ll Do Around 10 Lap’s, Sometime’s 20, & Finish It, & BAM! You’re Driver Sync & Driver Level & Car Affinity Will Fly Off The Chart’s Cause You lapped that Rival’s Event So many Time’s. Even if you lost to you’re Rival You Will Still Gain Car Affinity Level’s, I Jumped From Affinity Level 1 To 6 With 1 Race In Rivals, I found it easier to up the affinity level’s!
