Community Update on fixes and improvements - Jan. 11th

[76561199196475412]

Today we published the following news announcement, reposted here for visibility. Please continue to read the articles at Forza Support[support.forzamotorsport.net] and submit tickets to have your issues logged and investigated.


We hope you all had a safe and wonderful holiday break! With our teams back in the office, we’ve begun working on game fixes and improving the overall game experience – a process that will continue throughout 2022 and which could not happen without your continued feedback and support.

Here is an update on some of the areas that we’re currently working on with our goal being to roll them out as soon as we can:

• Accolades - We know players have experienced issues with Accolades not unlocking or resetting and we understand how frustrating this can be. We’re also aware of misleading descriptions that are confusing for players. We’re continuing to work through addressing these and you’ll see more fixed in the next update.
  
  
• EventLab - Based on the feedback we have received from you, our top priority is introducing the ability to save and edit EventLab content post-creation. We’re currently working on this and hope to release in an upcoming update.
  
  
• Festival Playlist - We know the Festival Playlist has been an area of concern for Forza Horizon 5 players. We’re taking the necessary steps to ensure that future challenges and objectives can be completed by all players. In addition, we’re working on a solution to retroactively apply points for bugged Daily Challenges and Treasure Hunt events in Series 1 and Series 2. This will also unlock the “Min, Meet Max” achievement for those who had completed all other events and challenges within a series. Stay tuned for additional details.
  
  In the meantime, we’re aware of an issue that shows the incorrect total value of Series Points earned by some players when viewing a previous Series Playlist. Our team has identified that this is caused by the auto-completion of the Horizon Tour in each season and we’re currently investigating a solution.
  
  
• Wheels - We’re investigating numerous issues around wheel support in Forza Horizon 5, especially for the PC version. These include a crash when closing pop ups or Wheelspins with a Fanatec wheel, missing wheel mapping on the Hori Force Feedback wheel and a lack of rumble functionality that is separate to force-feedback.
  
  We’re also looking into why the handbrake for Thrustmaster and Fanatec models does not work consistently for some users, as well as a specific Logitech wheel issue in which there is no longer any force feedback produced after suspending the title.
  
  
• Leaderboards - We’re investigating a solution to remedy erroneous lap times and high scores being posted to Rivals and PR Stunts leaderboards. This remains a high priority for our team and we hope to introduce new safeguards to tackle the situation around cheating in the future. We don’t expect this to be a quick fix but we’re committed to ensuring the leaderboards are fair and not compromised.

There are many more issues being worked on alongside these. As always, your feedback and input has been invaluable in tracking down and fixing the issues. We want to thank you all for your patience!

Is there any chance that custom adventures will come back too? Horizon Open can be frustrating at times when forced into too much cross country/mixed surface racing

[Hardy]

To be honest I'm a little worried I'm not seeing the issue mentioned here of the 1-2 second hiccup when challenging Eliminator players to head to head / leaving house / Hall of Fame leaderboard. This is especially game-breaking in Eliminator and affects PC players. I hope this is at least one element of the 'There are many more issues being worked on' part.

I see getting rid of these cheating scums aint gonna be easy (or probaly never), but oh well if you fix the other thing its already a good start, gl.

Also, think about adding custom adventure, yeah?

[Ironman]

Hopefully one of the updates is to fix the convoy. It works sometimes then other times it doesn't work at all. Love this game. But not being able to have fun with friends makes the game not playable.

Thank you. As for now the game is short of being perfect due to the eventlab/blueprint feature. Issues that I have encountered:

-Having to test the track with the number of laps set by blueprint once finished. (only happens in custom routes. Unlike FH4 where you tested the track once, and only once).

-Unable to make a new blueprint on an already finished route without having to test the track with the set number of laps. Even changing the music makes you retest the track. In FH4, finished custom routes were treated like normal tracks and you could create new blueprints (with new number of laps, car selections, time of day, etc) how many times you liked, without having to test it again.

-Inconsistent A.I drivers in custom routes. They simply can't follow a racing line. They just do whatever possible to stay in the middle of the road, making them incredibly easy to defeat even in Unbeatable.

-Still unable to adjust width of checkpoints. They are set to max with by default.

1 month (1 HOLIDAY month) till the last post update
Title : "Community Update on fixes and improvements"
Fact : Nothing, "we are working on it."
Fix your game i paid 100€ & call me back. ty.
U ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up most of my series.

[IvoJan]

this is getting ridiculous. its been 2 months and i and most of my friends still cant play online AT ALL.

[AUTI5T1X]

So, still no fixes for the LOD, or textures...

[Seth-Rah]

I know a few people have reported it, but I don't see any mention of the WMI Provider host problem after the game was closed in the known issues section on the site. Is this just being put under the "performance degradation" umbrella?

It's annoying enough that I contemplate whether I want to play the game or not because I know I'd need to restart my computer once I finish playing the game.

[Michal]

Balacing for cheating AI when ? Or atleast aplying same physics to them as for player, because those seasonal championships are getting extra ridicolous when AI just speed up through objects without any penalty no slowing through water, landing from jumps same, Dunno how can you ♥♥♥♥ up this big time

[kireta]

Are devs aware that brakes balancing is reversed in tunning menu? Moving slider to rear moves braking power to front and vice versa. It can be easily reproduced by moving entire braking power to one axle, and observing which wheels lock first.

When will crashes be noticed? every time I start the game it immediately crashes and the error code is only 0xc0000005. I've tried everything and nothing works.

I fixed the crashing on my game, by validating files with steam. After that, haven't had a single crash.

Any word on when the next desperately needed update is?

"Horizon Open - Environment - Daytime races that follow street races may remain dark with no headlights on (Date Updated:01.07.22)"

This REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED

[MSN4-Sazabi]

the memory leak fix would be a lovely addition to any fix list...
