[QUOTE=venom;51108357]Ahh, so excited for FH3, these pictures look awesome

Shame it sounds like most of the cars are still lacking in body options. Is it only the S15 that gets the rocket bunny kit?[/QUOTE]S13 does too, 180sx as well, multiple actually

[Reagy]

[QUOTE=mchapra;51108367]are any of you early forza horizon 3 people having issues with performance? i've seen people with GTX 1080s struggle with keeping a stable framerate[/QUOTE]

Yes, performance is very sketchy depending on systems, it likes some but hates others, even people with identical systems get different levels of performance.

[QUOTE=RobyYe;51108385]S13 does too, 180sx as well, multiple actually[/QUOTE]

So, is it only S-Chassis that get Rocket Bunny parts? I mean I guess I'm pretty happy as long as the S13 gets some nice kits, would be cool to see the rocket bunny kits on the BRZ/86 though.
We don't get an S14 though do we?

Also when is Forza going to bring back the FC :(

Oh awesome! Should be good enough for me. :)

Just pre-ordered FH3, downloading now, hope it runs decently on my pc if not I don't mind too much as i'm used to them on the consoles anyway

[BlackPearl]

And I've got a refund. Game ran terrible and when I have to disable my microphone to even run this game, that's just really bad porting. I might give this game a try in the future when they've done some huge patching. I'm sad..

[QUOTE=mastermaul;51106390]Actually everything on the hood is pretty much spot on.

Is that the only new customization stuff for the XB? Having something similar to the V8I exhaust would be cool at least.[/QUOTE]

my game funnily enough started running stable yesterday, with a 970 running at high-ultra at 50-70 fps.

then I joined robyye and whoever failgrenade is on here, and my game started running like garbage again, then after a little bit it was fine again, though I had two crashes while playing with them.

It is a photograph :v:

I realized after I posted it the lighting was kind of video gamey.

My dad just went and got an XBone- since I was already planning on getting Horizon 3 on PC, I'm curious-
If a game is downloaded to a XBone and PC by the same account, can any account on the platform play it? Or can only the Gamertag/account that bought play it?

It's tied to the gamertag, so if he's on it you wont be able to play it

[ChickenMan99]

By that do you mean we can't play it at the same time, or if it's tied to one, only that tag can play it?

What are the conditions on getting a refund from the Windows Store? Tempted to buy it and see how it runs, then refund if it's bad. Can't be bothered waiting for the demo.

From xbox's website,
"At any single point in time, you may only sign into the game on one Xbox One console or one Windows 10 PC. You cannot be signed into the same game on both an Xbox One console and a Windows 10 PC at the same time."

Edit: which i think when you buy it it's tied to that GT so only that tag can play it

Bought it yesterday and refunded it today. Just go to the microsoft support chat and ask for a refund.

I heard rumors on Turn10's forums that we get tire sidewall lettering options in FH3? Can anyone confirm that?

His dad should be able to play with his own account as long as he sets the Xbox as his home console.

I thought that just shared the gold capabilities not the gsmes?

[Rixxz2]

Unfortunately the PC port seems to be, at least for now, an absolute mess.
I haven't experienced any crashes or anything so the game seems to run just fine for me in that regard, however I get massive amounts of stuttering no matter which settings I use. Everything on Ultra with 8x MSAA? Stutter out the ass, Everything as low as possible in 720p? Stutter out the ass.

Locking the framerate to 30Hz makes the stutter go away completely, with the drawback that it's, well, 30FPS, and at least with my system and monitor that comes with a considerable amount of input delay, to the point that it's practically unplayable.

In 60Hz it's also really iffy framerate wise even with everything set to low, with random short drops down to 15FPS, which for whatever reason never happens when it's locked to 30.

This is on the following machine:
i5 4690
16GB RAM @ 2133MHz
GTX 1070
Installed on a Samsung 850 SSD

At the same time a friend of mine with a GTX 970 has it running just fine at 60Hz, and online there seems to be an almost equal amount of people saying that it runs fine as there are people wanting to rip Microsoft a new one, so it's one of those weird titles that prefer certain systems and hate others, regardless of power.

I'll stay away for a while and see, hopefully they'll release some patches in the near future fixing these issues, otherwise I'll try to get a refund. Really disappointing considering how well Apex ran

[Del91]

You share games too.

[kaze4159]

Yeah performance seems to be really random for people, running perfectly smooth on an i5 4690 + gtx 780 + 8gb ram. High settings. Only the occasional stutter which I think is disk related

So I found this little doozy at the airstrip and thought "huh, it's amazing how detailed they go with this whole festival lark". Drove up to it and realised it wasn't just another part of the hangar but actually roof access! "Get in!" I thought as I prepared for a whole array of mad cars all tuned up and shown off. So I pull up to the ramp, and the screen fades to black. Okay, so it'll be a little cutscene of some dudes smoking rubber and showing off.

No. Plain and simple no. Not a thing. Screen fades out and [I][b]poof[/b][/I] you're dumped in the middle of the airstrip without a single "Well done you found a secret!". Totally burned. Unplayable. 0/10 worse than Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

[BoyMilk]

if you want to achieve better performance in fh3 you can try setting everything to low on the main menu, then when you get ingame set the graphics settings back to default.

This gives me about an hour of playtime with little to no stuttering, but after that I pretty much have to hard reset my computer because everything stops responding.

I'm game sharing with a buddy, my home console is set to his. I can play my games and he can play my games, yet we're not even in the same zip code.

Refunded the game today, feeling really sad. Might wait for the demo and patches to see if performance improves.

This is the game I've been waiting for and now I can barely run it.
