[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;51128784]How the heck do you upgrade the mechanicals of your car in FH3? I bought a Volvo 850R and could not find any option for engine upgrades, only suspension/tyres/body upgrades[/QUOTE] Under tuning and some vehicles require engine conversions before you can edit the engines, its dumb.

Well my Windows just updated and now my Forza Horizon 3 is at 1024x768 resolution and every time I open the 'Video' settings my game crashes. Literally everything works fine but I cannot open the video settings.. Wtf.

Know what we need? More teenager shitboxes with replaced panels and doors. [t]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=2079875&full=true[/t] :v:

Don't know what happened in the past two days but suddenly the game runs awful for me. When I first started playing I was getting 60-70 fps on near all ultra settings, and now today I start up the game and can't get over 30. Not sure what happened. Anyone else experience something like this? Edit: So I tried uninstalling Geforce experience and my Geforce drivers, and then reinstalled just the drivers and my FPS is back to normal. If you're having FPS issues with an Nvidia card I suggest you try this. Not sure however if it's an issue with the drivers or geforce experience or a combination, I'm hesitant to reinstall geforce experience to be honest.

where does fh3 local save photomode pictures also do i have to progress the story before barn finds unlock? i keep going to the lm-002 one but nothing happens

Yeah, barn finds have to be active on the map. Finding them outside of that does nothing.

Sticking some nice music on Groove, turning the hud off and just going for a drive is a real delight in this game. Anyone clocked as well if you tail a cruising drivatar there's a chance they might put their foot down. It's fun chasing them down [url]http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/OGTroutt/video/21969679[/url] No idea how to embed

I’ll just leave this little bit of advice here in case someone else hits the same problem in Forza Horizon 3. If you’re stuck on 485-87 roads driven and you’ve driven all the problem roads already. Double check and drive around Bondi Beach again because the game will mark the roads, you drove during the tutorial as being driven but they won’t count until you drive them again. This tiny loop screwed me over for 4 days because of this problem. [t]http://i.imgur.com/xS2A1Zy.jpg[/t]

Does the center of the city turn into artifacts out the ass for anyone else or is it just me? also mini pic dump because this game is beautiful.

the city sometimes artifacts for me, usually crashing either my game or my entire PC.

I dunno if it's just my eyes or my game or maybe even just the weather or how I take the pictures but my game never looks as good as others haha, my game is on ultra(as far as I'm aware) [T]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=2197220&full=true[/T]

Yep, occasionally for me too. It seems that extremely high stress will artifact and crash the game. I can replicate it pretty much anywhere by hammering my computer. Just set it to 4K, whack the AA up to 8xMSAA, go to interior view and you'll crash within minutes. On exterior view it's fine though, barring the obvious low FPS you'll get from such high settings.

[QUOTE=Psygo;51132134]the city sometimes artifacts for me, usually crashing either my game or my entire PC.[/QUOTE] Thankfully Ive never crashed in the city but my frame rate usually tanks to about 12-15 fps.

What about this one?,sorry for being annoying with the screenies, i'd just like to get better at taking good pictures, I love any game that has screenshot features but I completely have no talent at taking them lol [T]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=2203202&full=true[/T]

Look up some stuff about [URL="http://www.photographymad.com/pages/view/rule-of-thirds"]rule of thirds[/URL] following it will generally make your screenshots look much better.

Zooming in for that lower FOV always makes em look much better Generally low angle shots & rule of thirds as HTS CONNER said are easy ways to get good pictures

fucking drift pr event on a wheel is impossible

I'm pretty sure photo mode on PC is actually bugged and consistently renders on lower settings or resolution or something. Seems to be a PC-wide problem, not just you or me

basically what every car looks like in fh3 online [t]https://t.s-ul.eu/kwwe6Htm.jpg[/t]

Is every car online S class? I haven't tried online free roam yet And I've only spent 86k on upgrades while my garage value is 17 million :v: I like driving shit cars

[QUOTE=Doozle;51132673]Is every car online S class? I haven't tried online free roam yet And I've only spent 86k on upgrades while my garage value is 17 million :v: I like driving shit cars[/QUOTE] yes, and if it isn't, then it's a cheater. I already saw some kids early starting in showdown drags.

ok another POTW entry [IMG]http://www.forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=2224644&full=true[/IMG]

game runs pretty good but this fucking crashing is ridiculous. i can't even play for like 5 minutes

It's sort of why I haven't gone online yet
