Update 8.0

What’s your predictions about update 8.0? What’s your wishlist? I want:
1- QoL features (tire wear multiplier, race flags, radar, etc)
2- lots of bug fixes
3- builders cup similar to launch day & update 7 (pure race cars)
4- more LMH & LMDH cars
5- new cars from FH5 (example: ford mustang 2024)
6- low dense fog weather from builders cup must be selectable in free play (it’s beautiful)
7-we already know that there won’t be a new track in update 8, next track is update 9
8-R,P and X class for builders cup open class


See you at the starting line :checkered_flag:

For them to finally add some content to the game. No FOMO, real content. Also bring back some obviously cut cars and base features like car stats and we’ll see from there.

An end to the game crashes. Removal of TAA in favor of other methods. An actual FRR safety and skill rating that isn’t just a metric of how many wins in a row you’ve had.

Good thing you called it a wishlist…

Actual CPU multithreading for PC players like in FH5.

The game still doesn’t crash for me for some reason. You still couldn’t fix your problem? I mean if i can play the game for 8 hours straight there must be a reason that you keep crashing.

I wish the crash occurred at the same spot, would assist in troubleshooting. Hell, a crash log would be incredible if they had one. All I know is it persists after a clean reinstall so I know the game files are “correct” and that it’s likely an issue stemming from hardware / driver choices.

Then again, no other game has crashed in over a year, so… It’s probably just Forza doing Forza shenanigans. I don’t play enough and there isn’t any crash info to troubleshoot it further.

i did ran out of V-RAM before i deactivated AI liveries, that made me crash and it made me lose FPS over time like there was a RAM leak or something.

But if that doesn’t help you, it could be so many other things. Virus, Malware, Firewall, Folder protection, Admin rights, i mean we are talking about PC. There could be MANY problems. For whatever reasons i have 0.

Nice wishlist especially number 5. Driving the new gen mustang or merc sl can be so much fun. I really really wish to see a good content drop in shape of new cars in this update.
If they do this and some qol changes plus adding a feature or two i will be very happy.

Hoping for the same 3 things I’ve been hoping for since November:

  • Functioning livery editor
  • Expanded UDP channels
  • Expanded private lobby settings

Expectation to get any of those is low.

Define “real content”.

I have driven myself crazy trying to figure out what’s causing my crashes. For me, the crashes occur mostly in non-racing activities (like doing a livery, or just backing out of a menu), and right up until the point of it crashing, 60fps is showing, no weird CPU usage spike, no increased temps, nothing- just freezes and crashes to desktop.

When I experience crashes in races, it’s usually in the menu prior to the event, or on the actual “loading” screen for the race- and once again, no drop in FPS, no cpu spikes, no indication whatsoever of why its happening.

I do have the odd mid race crash, but it seems to be limited to single player, and seems to be caused by an (extremely) erratic stutter that seems to be largely unaffected by graphics settings, or any background applications running. It will happen once every few hours, the track, car, etc will al be completely different- so chasing down the cause is frustrating, and, frankly, shouldn’t be my responsibility.

I have just chalked it up as (yet another) built in bug, like the my steering wheel suddenly forgetting where “center” is, or steering itself left and right anytime the car is in motion, until I restart the application.

Sorry to hear that, but i don’t have any of these problems. I also don’t play with a steering wheel, i play with the Original X-Box Series X|S Controller.

I posted it a few times already but here that is how i play:

Current Dynamic Render Quality: Custom
Dynamic optimization: Custom
Fullscreen: On
Show framerate: On
NVIDIA DLSS: Off
AMD FSR 2.0: Off
Performance target: Unlocked V-Sync
Resolution scale: 100%
Anistropic filtering: 16x
Raytracing quality: Off
RTAO quality: Low
Shadow quality: High
Cubemap reflection quality: Low
Car model quality: High
Car livery quality: High
Windshield reflection quality: High
Mirror quality: Medium
Track texture quality: High
Particle effects quality: Medium
Motion blur quality: Off
Lens flare quality: Off

There is nothing blurry in my game, i play it in/with 2160p, 120 HZ, HDR, G-Sync, FPS locked to 75 in Nvidia Control Panel.

Without DLSS: https://youtu.be/gOHaZf98FCQ
With DLSS Quality: https://youtu.be/5E6CcZHF_l4

It’s has many aliasing effects with DLSS enabled. In native 2160p it looks perfectly fine, even without maxed out graphics.

System: R9 5950x, RTX 3080, 32 GB RAM, Gen4 NVMe. Details in my Profile.

Maybe i am just lucky or something, but the game just simply doesn’t crash for me.

Why haven’t they announced the contents of the May update or at least say when it’s releasing?

This one better have at least a few sound updates!

My prediction for Update 8.0 is as follows:

  • One or two returning cars, two or three new race cars
  • Some minor changes to AI and Forza Race Regulations
  • Some bug fixes and accessibility changes
  • The usual crop of multiplayer hoppers, rivals, Builder’s Cup races

…And that’s about the most I’ll expect. There’s a lot more that I want, such as a slew of QoL changes, livery editor/paint booth fixes, additional features, etc. but I’m not going to get my hopes up.

A proper career mode, not 1 short Builder’s Cup which you can complete within a week. It doesn’t even include all car classes, let alone race cars.

I want content to keep me busy for a year. See how FM4 handled it. A huge race roster (with new race seasons) and lots of extra challenges to unlock badges, cone challenges, drag racing, etc.

I’m mostly excited for the new bugs Update 8 will introduce.

In my opinion we will not see many changes at all. Just a new track with seams all over it and brand new bugs to the game… Graphics will remain the same, car sounds will remain the same so… It’s a miss for the this game. The Audi RS4 Avant from 2018 has the same engine sound from Nissan GT-R R34 skyline…

Same. If history is any indicator, I fully expect to be underwhelmed - again… and again.
