[Xbox One X] Forza Horizon 3 Stutter

Does anyone else get a stutter in their game while just cruising around? I never get it in races but I notice it when I’m driving somewhere. Happens for like a millisecond/second then it’s gone.

Also my friend said his game recently crashed on his Xbox One X too, and he just bought it 2 days ago. Anyone else having any issues?

Would be helpful!

Update : Went to Bestbuy and exchanged it for another brand new copy, and it still happens while I’m driving around. Never in a race though.

Mate, I think its lag, I’ve been in a couple of lobbies, and when its a bad connection it slows down your framerate, its almost like driving in slowmo, other times not an issue. Australian internet is repsented by two tins and a piece of string. If your in single player mode, then I’d say its an xbox one issue, but I’ve only had your issue in freeroam.

I’m playing single player and it happens when I’m roaming around or driving to a race. Never when I’m racing. It makes no sense. And this doesn’t happen on any other game or any other Forza game I play.

I have a digital copy, that might be cause for ruling out the similarities, it really doesn’t surprise me though, Horizon 1 was great, Horizon 2 had a bug where when you hit mid point in the rev range, the audio would freeze the engine rev sounds, but the tacho and speed would still increase, after about 2 seconds, the audio would jump to actual revs, and I’d be bouncing off the rev limiter, made it hopeless to play, because I couldn’t keep up with other players, not everyone had this problem, and there was no fix, so it ended up being a coaster for my beer.

I was just playing a free roam online and was just cruising going as fast as I could and didn’t happen once but still was happening playing my solo mode.

noticed this too. when in single player free roam. i played the game on xbox one and now on xbox one x and it’s on both… didn’t think much about the stutter though. it’s bugging me more that the cars seem to hover when they drive out of the Garage at an Festival site…
i have a digital Version of horizon 3

My FH3 is digital and I’ve also noticed a flickering, but it’s during Online Adventure multiplayer when a new player joins the session. It seems to be happening to me with greater frequency recently.

That happens when the game is downloading data and your bandwidth is low. It can happen in single player when you get a notification like an auction house popup or a game invite or someone requests to join your single player game. Online it happens when people join or leave or when multiple people switch cars at the same time. Its a normal occurrence if your internet isn’t super fast.

I have 100 download and 15 upload. So I don’t think it’s my internet.

Even on faster internet It can happen but it is usually on slower connections, causes high latency between you and the online server for a split second. For you it might be your game syncing the drivatars and other data seeing as it happens in single player. Despite having fast internet the game itself has to process the data and it causes a split second of lag, usually just enough to send you barreling off the road and into a ravine.

Because other people have said this happens to them as well. I even made sure it wasn’t the game and returned it back to BestBuy for another new copy of it, and it still happened. It wasn’t happening when I first got the game like 4-5 days ago, only recently, maybe it’s because of the crashing that’s happening with Horizon 3 and 7? I played for about 30 minutes just now and didn’t experience it either. Who knows.

Update : Still happening…

I get this in single player free roam too. I’ll be cruising around and then there’s a split second freeze and then the game runs again. It’s pretty annoying as a huge part of the appeal and fun of FH3 is free roam. Never had it happen in races, and I don’t ever play multiplayer online. I’m sure the more I play the game, the more frequent the micro-freezes get. Wish it would be fixed.

Also digital copy, happened on Xbox One and continues on Xbox One X.

I get this on Xbox One X, it started with the 4k update, I’m guessing it’s due to the extra data it now has to load as you move around the map in free roam. I’d also guess that in a race it pre-loads all the data for the entire course, and that’s why it doesn’t happen in races.

happens to me also on xbox one s. it’s annoying.

I have it occur in solo, one X or one S. Just freezes from a second to 5 seconds, then back to normal. Seems it’s only when I’m out skill boosting. So far has never failed to understand freeze. And doesn’t do it often. Consoles are vertical, out in the open, wouldn’t think it’d be a heat issue.

I have digital and XoneX and I see it to for a second.
