Realy: close the game and stop get embarrassed: this is not a racing game but just a place for kids to play destruction derby. Nothing is working in FM: I can’t belive that at 4950 skill rating and S safty I alway end up with players who just ram divibombing ad every turn. With the new A and P event my clanmate and I could not finish a single race without begin send out the tracks, lose like 12 position and see that the rammed got no penalty. I don’t even know if players have already found a way to use some kind of cheat to avoid the penalty system at all, but since you don’t wonna put ghosting it’s time to put this game out of it’s misery.

theres just so few people actually playing this game that the only way to fill lobbies is to put low skill players and high skill ones together.

I have not bothered trying it yet,but can you guys not set up private races with your ‘clanmates’ ??? Back in my RTCW days our ‘clan’ used to have our own private matches as well as public lobbies.Is it not possible with FM8? Let the kiddos scream in each others ears all day long…
If we can be all online yep, but when just 3 or 4 of us are online the only way is joining pubblic event. If the player base is already this low the game will be dead in no time. What kind of player will enjoy a racing game when you can divebomb and hit without a problem? There is no ghosting, there is no slowdown for the rammer.

I cannot agree more with this, it has nothing to do with a proper racing game. It’s wreckfest on the servers. I m at 4973 S rating. What’s the point of trying to play a racing game with sim rules when u know u’ll get pit maneuver many times in the race (like in the straight with plenty of space) ? Dive bomb etc.
The penalty system doesn’t work. It’s been long enough now we know it’s not working at all. In fact, sometimes I even get the penalty, in the straight I was blocked between the stand wall and the rammer, he “micro” bumped me like 10 times in 3 seconds, i couldn’t steer to avoid him, well, I got 3.5 sec of penalty.l

We got a game with:
Terrible performance even on high end pc
Graphics and sounds are subpart and behind Forza Horizon 5 who is two years old
Almost no support for racing wheels from Fanatec, Moza, high end Thrustmaster
If you got a system with AM5 and/or an AMD card you need to force down Hags and SAM to avoid microshuttering
Open wheel car are allowed in even lobby and are the most common source of a dive bombing coming from behind since they got top acceleration, beside in the hand of a competent player most are totaly OP ruining the poin of a large car park
Very often there is someone in the lobby with a time of 7-8 sec faster than anyone else and that should ring some allarm
Replay save still broken
Tune save and sharing more often than not put the game in infinite loading mode
Penalty system is a total joke and there is no ghosting for at last 30-45 sec of race and no slowdow for rammer or people cutting corners
Rammers almost alway end up in the clear with the rammed car suffering a penalty beside losing a lot of position and having the race ruined. You put the game on gamepass and you should have predicted that a lot of kids would try this out.
I repeat turn the server down Turn 10 and let’s us remember you for Forza Motosport 6, you are gonne have only kids and cheaters soon enought with the game in this condition.

Would be great if they implemented a system where you must complete 10 races against highest level AI to determine if you are fit for MP, if you arent good enough you stay there till you can race properly. If you make it out and during regular MP you ram to much you get sent back to that AI lobby only. 3 strikes and you are banned from mp.

No wheel support for Fanatec??? What lies are you trying to spread,and why? I have a CSW 2.5 and two rims(both work fine)CSL Elite pedal-set works fine too.The car driving ‘feeling’ and FFB are miles more entertaining than FM7’s driving ‘feeling’ and FFB.I liked FM7 a lot despite it’s flaws and had a lot of fun with it.FM8 with my Fanatec is sooo much fun to race and the in-game settings are are stock.So I’ll ask you again about Fanatec Wheels,why are you spreading lies???
Play a Round A.C - A.C.C or something like this. After that come back and talk about a good FFB (or overall Fanatec Supprt) in FM8

Nice for you, my Gran Turismo is almost not working. I know ACC and Automobilista 2 are not perfect with Fanatec and Moza Support but still better than this.
Exactly.
That’s always been a limitation with games that use player skill and/or safety ratings for matchmaking.
When the player population falls below a certain point, a game just has to throw whoever is available together regardless of matchmaking criteria.

And then you lose the player base who like to play fair. BTW I’m not that great driver and I don’t mind playing with lower ranked player as far as they at last try to drive. The big problem compared to previus game it’s called game pass at day 1 with a lot of people just trying the game and having fun ramming and ruining anyone else experience. IMHO it was not so hard to predict and Turn 10 should have implemented ghost from day 1. I know ghostime may ruining the “race experience” but at last 45 sec will give time to most player to avoid the carnace of the first couple of turn.

Yeah, launching on Game Pass might have helped T10 look good with higher initial player counts, but it was a recipe for disaster to unleash so many Game Pass casuals straight into multiplayer racing without any substantial prep or prerequisites or license tests.
Rammers don’t care about their safety rating anyway, and as soon as they get a penalty, they just get more determined to drag more people down with them by ramming even more.
T10 should know better by now after working on this series for 18+ years.
The crashing has really ramped up the past week. Has me wondering whats the point of the safety rating system…
Might start pitting people before they can pit me.

Even begin on the top position in the starting grid is not safe: you alway get the open wheel coming like a bullet from behind making a carnage on the first turn. There is something that T10 can do: ban open wheel and make them run in their lobby. Ghosting for 45 sec so the first two turn of the race are not a carnage. Beyond that I don’t belive anykind of AI can be used for a penalty system.
That’s a good thought, the only problem is the AI in Forza actually trains a player to race in the wreckfest style 
They need to seriously work on AI before the concept you presented would be viable.
