[QUOTE=DormitoryRapier;51051752]holy shit the stuttering in apex is a joke, it's literally unplayable[/QUOTE] try disabling the dynamic optimization settings. if you got 8GB of RAM, then get some more because it runs like shit with that much of RAM

[QUOTE=EddieLTU;51054443]try disabling the dynamic optimization settings. if you got 8GB of RAM, then get some more because it runs like shit with that much of RAM[/QUOTE] already did that and lowered the resolution a bit so now im geting like 70fps on yas marina but it stutters really badly anyways

meanwhile for me in apex, going from low to ultra fixed all the stuttering and everything.

[QUOTE=Psygo;51055080]meanwhile for me in apex, going from low to ultra fixed all the stuttering and everything.[/QUOTE] Sounds like PlanetSide 2 at release where lowering settings just put all the strain onto the CPU until you went full N64 mode: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwatIQDFC70[/media]

[QUOTE=EddieLTU;51054443]try disabling the dynamic optimization settings. if you got 8GB of RAM, then get some more because it runs like shit with that much of RAM[/QUOTE] My Apex runs fine on 8GB.

finally downloaded The Crew, and it feels good to play it on high settings at high framerate, unlike the past 2 betas which were a tragedy on older hardware and few pics [t]http://i.imgur.com/xpE8peY.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RAmtO05.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/etWDOi4.jpg[/t]

Is it just me or are the 350Z and 370Z just damn ugly? I don't know what exactly it is that doesn't work with me, but I actually quite like the Skyline 350GT and that's pretty much just a 2+2 seater version of the 350Z. Also I'm a fan of the S30 and Z32.

the tragedy about the crew is that the 240z can be bought with premium currency only edit: found a bug, volume warning [vid]https://a.pomf.cat/slamhf.webm[/vid]

[QUOTE=venom;51056329]There's a 240Z? I got the SL for like $1, I wish I bought a 240Z[/QUOTE] go to the collection board thing in garages and you can see all the cars.

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;51056335]go to the collection board thing in garages and you can see all the cars.[/QUOTE] It looks like a lot of the purchasable cars don't have a lot of upgrade options :/ The SL is fun to cruise with though, worth the $1. Probably going to reinstall The Crew this week and see if it's much better than it was around when it was first released.

Horizon Chase just hit 1 year, 2 new cars and 1 new city [media]https://www.youtu.be/natlqn-Rafo[/media]

I sat down and managed to play Horizon 3 demo for a couple of hours last night. Really enjoyed it and can't wait for the full release. Some observations: -The road width makes sense for the environment, Horizon 2s roads always seemed way too wide for southern European rural roads, but the wide roads feel perfectly natural in Australia (it's possible the roads aren't as wide as the last game) -The handling feels a bit different from 2. Weight transfer seems more prominent and the cars feel looser which is nice. They still have phenomenal grip on tarmac. Dirt roads seem to have less grip than before, on the last game dirt roads didn't seem to make much different. This makes driving down some of the new thin dirt tracks actually feel kind of treacherous, almost to the point of feeling like playing a rally game. Going off road needs a bit more consideration. -Don't forget to eliminate the steering/throttle/brake deadzones for that proper control. -Online is fun. You can win every race by just being careful and then passing everyone when they inevitably keep ramming eachother/the barriers. I'm not sure if they've made wall riding more punishing or everyone was utterly useless but I was lapping about 5 seconds quicker each lap -The characters are annoying as fuck (but I think this is a Horizon tradition) You can choose what the characters call you. But its kinda lame you can choose to be G or fam but none of the other dialogue changes around it, someone saying "hey G" or "hey fam" sounds lame and cringey. I would've been pleased with "alright G/fam" like how people actually talk.

I tried restarting the race like 5 times but it doesn't help, it always happen at that exact same spot. Send help [vid]https://a.pomf.cat/ayvcfw.webm[/vid]

All I can suggest is error checking the game files, its clearly not loading in the next area for some reason which could normally be due to missing or corrupt files. [editline]17th September 2016[/editline] I haven't experienced this in my playthroughs so far but I've only just hit Las Vegas so there might be a black zone in my game, just haven't come across it.

I haven't seen anything like that in the time I've been playing The Crew either.

is it possible to replicate katayama's rx-3 in forza?

Thrustmaster makes good wheels, yeah? Thinking about getting one, but I'm not ready to drop $400 for their top of the line wheel and pedals [editline]17th September 2016[/editline] Ordered a tmx. Won't get it for a couple weeks. :\

When they work, the wheels are good.

i mentioned the ' Grand Sport' before, but here it is [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hzv2y1vhy6d88i4/20160918_185854.jpg[/t] it's as close as it gets

I like how in the Porsche expansion for Forza 6, the narrator starts by wanking off Porsches for how great they are and that they are machines of perfection, then they put you in the 918 Spyder and it does everything a 'perfect' car shouldn't: Oversteer AND understeer, loss of stability under heavy braking, tyres constantly overheating because it lacks cornering grip etc. Same story as the Nissan GT-R pretty much. I'm lucky that I didn't pay for this expansion, lmao.

The moment I heard a turbo spool in a reliant, I knew I had to purchase FH3 [video=youtube;5E0hfvE5lQk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E0hfvE5lQk&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Gonna purchase fh3 but have to resub to iracing first, the IMSA cars they have been adding look sick

does dirt rally fit into this thread too? it being a rally simulator

No get your own thread

[QUOTE=Del91;51080099]No get your own thread[/QUOTE] dont think so

Rallying is obviously not racing. It's more like a puzzle game. Get that shite outta here.

Is there any benefit to preordering FH3 for the PC besides getting car packs for games I don't own and the single retail-exclusive preorder car?
