Isn’t the point to this game that you can choose from hundreds of cars to upgrade, tune and race?
I’m frustrated to no end that every new race forces me to drive a new car. Sure playing solo will more often let me use my car, or host races. But if i join coop races and don’t make blueprints, i dont get to drive my favorite cars. I’m sick and tired of having to buy, upgrade a new car for every race. So unless this changes, tell me why would i buy another forza game? Maybe it’s best that car choice and upgrades/tuning is just removed and keep having the game decide what cars you get to drive. It can’t be both. It’s barely both anyway as it is now. As for the hotwheels expansion it’s even worse, not only is there a restriction on progress for which class you can use. It also seems that only the hotwheels cars are viable there. Yet we are still sometimes allowed to use other cars there? What gives? And these hotwheels races where you only get to drive player made races where players have made glitched races and those seem to be needed to do to progress further. It’s just a broken mess of a lazy system bloated with races that feel completely meaningless. If horizon 6 will be the same, i won’t be buying it. Because why the hell would i if i can’t use my own chosen cars in races most of the time. It’s taking forever to see bugs fixed, and every new release the previously fixed bugs are back and take just as much time to fix again. Each new game is literally based on the same template or something where all the bugs remain and have to be fixed again and again every new release. I mean, how hard can it be to fix the bugs in the template so they only have to be fixed once. I’m primarily thinking of the multiplayer bugs now that aren’t fixed until people have already played the game to death. And the game having all these visual bugs on nvidia gpus with rainbow colors, black roads, striped roads, mountains with white placeholder textures. Instead of fixing these bugs, the devs expect the players to revert to seriously old nvidia drivers as if we don’t have any other games to play. I mean most of the players on PC use Nvidia gpus, but noo just ignore all of them because playground games are affiliated with AMD or something. Probably paid to not fix the visual bugs for nvidia gpus. And when it comes to customer support, playground games are even worse then blizzard for crying out loud. Something that shouldn’t be possible. So somebody please, try to convince me why i should buy another forza game again? And why aren’t everyone else speaking up against all this. Boycot the freaking game until they let us race our favourite cars without making blueprints for everything. And until they start fixing their graphics bugs with nvidia gpus and stop reintroducing the same old bugs every new release. I wan’t to love this game. i’ve played horizon 3 and 4 and now 5 since it was released but after a break and taking on the hotwheels expanson im just reminded of how limiting and buggy horizon 5 is. I’m over with this franchise until it gets some serious improvements. Nobody should buy horizon 6 unless they fixed all this stuff. Force playground games by voting with not opening your wallets next time. I hate to see the game getting more and more restrictive every new release. Player choice? Nooo! playground games decide what cars we get to use, not the players. Anyways, enough ranting, I know the game devs won’t give a anyway. Barely even allowed to show my disappointment because of the profanity restrictions. Freaking language police bully company is what it is. Ban me for posting this because nobody should be able to criticize the god almighty pompous self absorbed onlycaringaboutprofits playground games. I don’t care anymore.
You can drive cars of your choice in online races.
Not sure what your issue is with Hotwheels. Cars like a S2 class Jesko will easily beat the Hotwheels BTTB.
I’m using the latest nVidia drivers with my RTX 3070 GPU. I have it set to extreme settings. Some of the lower settings can result in the rainbow or black effects you describe.
Slightly off topic. Are you using Windows 11 and if so have you installed 2022H2 update? I have held off as there was an issue with NVidia GPU’s following that update
it would seem the visual problems happen when you run out of vram. seems 8gb is not enough for this game. i dropped some settings and i have less visual bugs butthere are still some of them present. just not as much.
Why would you not want to sometimes use different cars? That’s part of the reason I like the seasonal races is driving cars I would have never even looked at to use in class levels I wouldn’t build them to and finding some I actually enjoy. Does the game not get boring if you drive the same 4 cars over and over?
I used all sorts of cars in the HW expansion. And I used whatever cars I wanted in the main campaign. But, then, I wasn’t creating my own problems by joining other people I wasn’t communicating with and letting them decide my fate for me.
i drive different cars ofc, but when i have picked out a car i want and upgraded and tuned it and then not get to drive it, thats annoying me to no end. i mean sure many races allow me to pick what ever car i want and the drivatars will adapt. but when im playing with friends and if they are the convoy leader and pick a car, their choice restrict which cars i can use. there are too many factors restricting car choice. which class and race type it is makes perfect sense to me. but many races mandates you drive cars from a certain year or brand along with class and event type. so essentially i need a car from every brand and every class for every type of race upgraded and tuned ready so at least its a car that i have tuned to drive how i want it to and to be competitive. but so many times im forced to drive something i dont have an upgrade and tune on. so i quit the event when if i can to go get that car i need and upgrade and tune it or have to borrow someone elses car. and the race after that i no longer get to drive that car and have to get a new car again. it feels like i need a new car for every race lol. even if thats not exactly true, im forced to get a lot of different cars and it kinda defeats the purpose of upgrading and finetuning a car that i only get to race once or twice. there is an option to set cars as favorites for a reason. and that list is only getting longer and longer so i can quickly find a car i know i have upgraded and tuned to be competitive and have a good experience driving it. and that list of favorite cars is long enough to make it difficult to find the car i want in races where i get to choice between a bunch of them. in online races there isn’t a lot of time to pick the right car. so i end up scrolling fast, missing a car, having to scroll back and the time is running out so sometimes i end up picking a car i didnt want to drive for that event. And if i would only have 5 favorites to drive for the entire game, that should be my choice to make. When that choice is taken out, the upgrading and tuning and favorizing cars might aswell not be in the game.
Have you looked at creating custom blueprints which allow you or your convoy to select a class of car, i.e. S1 900 or anything goes which then opens up your choices?
I could ofc do that. but im more into playing the official races. i don’t like the hassle of creating blueprints or driving scuffed blueprints from other players.
