Why has blocking traffic suddenly became a thing?

Why has this this nonsense suddenly become a thing on FH5? I’ve seen players doing it so much in the couple of months, especially near PR Stunts or drift zones but also at random places.

Whoever that does this, please stop being so inconsiderate.

this was quite common on FH4 so it’s certainly not a new thing but as you said, it is inconsiderate and frankly, childish but I’ve come to expect nothing less from the majority of players I’ve come across in game

I’ve seen this countless times from Forza Horizon 4 (if my own memory serves me right?) And also in Forza Horizon 5 but all you can do is wait for them to leave or just get lucky of whatever it is you’re doing in both games but since I’ve done everything in both games it doesn’t bother me anymore the only thing that bothers me is that when I’m driving around or cruising with the ai traffic and a player sends a car my way or hinders the traffic in my direction then yes that 777% absolutely bothers me it’s so :face_exhaling::face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

Two things I do when I see people doing this.

  1. Get in my Unimog and smash the traffic cars into them to push them off the road or…
  2. Go to Horizon Solo and then back to Horizon Life so it reloads you onto a different session.

I know it’s frustrating but honestly there are a lot times the people aren’t doing it on purpose. They’re literally just parked and they’re away from their game. At least, I assume this because once I push them off the road, they still don’t bother to move because there’s no one there.

FH4 servers haven’t been shut down. There’s still enough players where requesting a new server will get you to a new group.

Oh I didn’t know that I thought that were shut down :sweat_smile: I’m gonna correct it now I’ve corrected it

No worries, it takes a bit of patience to get matched for the trial / games but freeroam usually feels populated and forzathons usually have a decent group. It’s probably a good time for anyone to finish ranking up in eliminator. People still sit on the highway.

Well I’ve only hoped back in FH4 to get the wheel spins from my v.i.p thing and leave I haven’t done anything in it since FH5 came out granted I did everything including getting 1st place in the eliminator unlike in FH5 and I’ve seen a comment on some reddit post where they said something about the server’s were dead or something to do with server’s cause the original poster and 1 random player were the only ones who were doing the playground games events
