[Xbox 360] ETA on addressing Bug Fixes, Hackers, Exploits, Etc?

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH2 Discussion
1

Ok, the X360 version of FH2 has a ton of issues and is a shadow of the Xbone version, but that is not the point of this post enirely.

Right now we need help with people Online & Offline hacking.
The vast majority of the Speed Traps for example are capped at speeds of 400-500-600+ MPH with Lvl 1 Accounts for example.
Online in races you have quite a few Speed Hackers making it so everyone else winds up DNF because legit cars cannot keep up.
In Playground every board has broken seams or jumps that allow people to get outside the designated zone and thus making them virtually impossible to Infect or take King from unless you exploit yourself.
And while you can’t specifically search for it you have Chrome & Glow paints making their presence known.

This is also brings to light some major issues and flaws.
Playground for example pays too much for a singular event and almost nothing for the 2nd. This causes lots of people to get the 30k+ win and then drop out to find a different group.
Too many invisible barriers and imperfect texture seams to mention.
Many times when someone exits a lobby early it crashes everyone out of the game.
If you try to Avoid or File a Complaint about someone during a match you are going to get kicked for inactivity so you have to wait until after each match taking quick notes during it.
Playground Maps are DRASTICALLY too large. Not enough variety so you feel like it’s the gold course every game.
Server Latency (unless people are using lag boxes) is quite painful at times.

I could go own, but I think this is a start. The hacks and exploits are the most important to address.
In Playground you could fix the vast majority of exploiters by making the perimeter walls/fences 5x-10x taller to keep people from jumping them. Plus flatten the ramp seam in Airfield on the back left side.
The scoreboards really need to be gone over and simply get rid of those players who are outside of allowable limits within the game engine for speed.
Plus scan our games on startup like you have for most versions before for modded vehicles and such.

Just help us out. Then consider a Wheel Spin & DLC for us. :slight_smile:

I would love to see these fixes but I’m not very optimistic that they are coming. Now that the game is out, how are we to know what Sumo’s continued involvement in the project will be, especially considering they do not want to produce DLC for the 360 version, which in essence would negate the need for Sumo to hang around?

Well it is still a Forza branded product so I do hold onto some faith they wont let it crumble. After all, with the holiday season coming, there will be lots of 360 versions sold (not everyone is bought in to the new gen yet whether it be financial reasons or lack of game titles compelling enough to take the leap) so there is some skin in the game to keep it respectable. A bad experience on the 360 can taint the desire to ever purchase the XB1 version.

As long as they fix the sound I’m happy. It’s just no fun driving around without hearing your own engine, while AI drivers pass you with the same car with roaring engines.

Yeah, it’s gettng to where there’s no fun in playing Infected or King, especially on the warehouse map or the airport.

Also, depending on which car your drivng, invisible obstacles are further out in the road in some maps. I’ve also been timed out of a game by being bumped into a fence and being stuck there. This has happend twice.

The sound issues on the 360 are getting rediculas. The VW beetle, if you are on far rear view, is louder in the front when you look to the rear, than when your driving. Some cars, regardless of exhaust option, you can’t hear, especially in a race.

I hope you are right about the problems being addressed, but I really don’t expect it.

I’m having my doubts as well. There’s been no additional information or statement regarding the 360 version.

In my communications with Sumo they have pointed me to T10 for future information…
All Sumo is interested in right now it seems is how awesome their Little Big Planet release is.
That means they are not the ones who will address these issues if they do get addressed.

I however do remain hopeful that we will not be forgotten.
