The Ferrari in this months rivals is a tail happy fucker It sure is. I think it helps to be gentle on the accelerator when you come out of a corner, but even then it feels like it’s desperate to oversteer.

This fucking Hoonigan trial!!!!! Took me a lot of goes, had to luck into a decent team. It’s a frustrating one and the fog is an awful decision. Never managed to complete it. The fog and the tyre smoke was ridiculous indeed. This season's one I did first time, four useless idiots in bog standard cars thankfully quit after coming last in the first race leaving two of us to come in second and third each time in the last two races.

Think I might be done with this: I get some persistent error about a missing profile, regardless of whether I load in on Xbox or PC.
"The Forza Horizon profile you are trying to load is no longer available. Error code E:116f-0"

Haven't played in a few months but really enjoying dipping back in. Also, fuck this game for making me set up Autotrader/eBay alerts after driving around in a Volvo 240 for a bit. I've only owned my IRL first car for a few weeks and hadn't planned at looking for anything else for a couple of years
Oh, and really liking the Lexus LFA that's part of the seasonal challenges at the moment. I've got a S2 tune on it and it's massively grippy. Might be the easiest car to habdle so far. The back barely ever steps out unless you really try but when it does it's so easy to control.

Er, did I read that correctly- the solution is to… just start again??!

Holy shit that's rough askew. How can it be so corrupted that both local and online saves are unusable?

I… don't know. I mean, I nuked out my local saves on both platforms as part of the troubleshooting stage, and went through a fairly lengthy resync on first boot. At which point it just pops up the note about the profile no longer being available. On PC, you can't even quit the game at that stage without Alt+F4'ing it.
Pretty sure they've fucked it, judging by the numerous other syncing and data consistency issues with accolades/challenges.
Don't want to go through the rigmarole of creating a new save just yet, in case there is something that can be done, but it would make me wary of losing my progress again. Don't think I'm precious about my 'stuff', but I just can't be arsed replaying it to even open up online play again.

Shame MS don't keep x number of images so at least you could roll back a save to pre-fucked state. Though I shudder to think how much more resourcing that would require.
Though a time-machine like archive on the local system could be handy, especially for games where one rolling save per account is used.

Mentioned before, but my progress is all screwed up. I still have my accolades and general progress stats are all fine, except I got booted out of the HoF and my overall rank dropped back to 1. Been playing through the seasons and back up to something like 20.
Wouldn't mind really except it locks you out of certain events so I can't finish off the stories. And it seems to be a lot slower paced ranking up now, assumingly as I have done a lot of simple things for the first time that give you bonuses (though that's speculation).
I can live with it, but if I lost ALL my progress, including cars and credits, I would be livid.

That really sucks. I think I'd put the game off for a year or so after losing that much progress.
Having said that, I'm only 20 odd hours in and I'm playing this game quite casually. I'm literally just checking off events and colouring in roads on the map, so losing that kind of progress wouldn't sting at all. Haha.

It sounds a bit first world problems, but it should be rule number 1: developers should respect their customers time and effort.
I just did a story mission where I had to bomb along the central motorway close passing cars. Ten attempts, none of them better than one star as, often, passes wouldn’t register and occasionally I’d restart the level and only one or two fucking cars would have spawned to pass, ridiculous.

I noticed on that link you sent was about the profile/progress error occurring in FH4, worrying they haven't fixed it between games. If I lost all my progress I don't think I could face starting again (also not particularly caring about my car collection, couldn't face redoing all the stories again).
I'm slowly grinding towards the 5 mil house as I stupidly didn't buy it first when I was getting loads of money from the initial events/accolades/levelling up, on 4.2 mil so far... Maybe I'll blast a session later to finish off just in case.

That proper sucks. Hopefully they’ll at least be able to give your cars back, like that instruction seems to suggest.

Yup, just unlocked online again, so I will let them know. All my leaderboard progress is still there. Think I'm most miffed about my "Awooga" horn: hope that can be returned too.

Has there been any word on a date for the first dlc yet?

I saw some rumours about sometime in February, based on a now delisted Amazon thing, but that’s it so far. I’ve played the hell out of the base game so that’d be great if there’s any truth in it.

Picked this up again having not played much since before Christmas and I don't think I've played in a Storm season week before. The water reflections, the rain drops, the storm skies, this can be a very pretty game but this is the most stunning I've seen it. I'm hooning around at twilight just for the pleasure of how good it all looks.

Yay: I have my inventory back — up to a maximum 522 items. Which I have to download one at a time via the Message Centre. And most of them are clothing items. 🤪

Slowly getting my rank back up, but it's definitely much more of a grind than the first time.
The first two seasons I was engrossed, playing daily, getting all the rewards/cars and doing everything bar the online party mode events. I like that it forces you into different vehicle classes in different race types, leading to some unexpected new favourites.
But since I started Ghost of Tsushima (yeah, very late to the party) I have hardly touched it. And there's a fair few things I want to play hitting Game Pass or coming out soon. So think I am past that "collect them all" mentality, and happy to just play it here and there and not obsess over getting everything each month.
It's a cracking racer, no doubt I will play it on and off for a long time and looking forward to the DLC. But I don't have time to max the seasons each weeks and I think I am fine with that.

What the fuck has happened to this game?! I've been reading of askew's woes and avoiding it for a while, but I did try doing the Goliath event (I think - the end of the off-road stuff) the other week and no matter how many times I restarted it, it always failed to fill in the terrain once you get over the first crest - you're basically hovering over nothingness - and then it completely crashes. So I left it a couple of weeks, just tried again, and the same thing happens. Is it just completely fucked at this point? Weird, because I had virtually no issues at all for the first few weeks. I want to carry on playing dammit!

FWIW I had a go at Goliath last night and everything seemed fine (on SX)

I’ve not had any crashes for ages on my XS, maybe you’ve just been unlucky? That said, the environment glitched out for me a fair bit yesterday when I was doing some huge jumps and landing in the middle of buildings

I think I've been played this game all wrong. I've just been mopping up icons. Doing races and such. Turns out I've done next to nothing of the main campaign and I've never done a seasonal event. That's in 20 hours playtime. Go me!

I'd be pretty annoyed if all my progress was wiped. I've won the Doom horn recently. Completely useless but incredibly satisfying. Almost as much as the first Eliminator victory I scored a few weeks ago. I'm not done with the game yet but my interest in it has severely cooled down.

The game’s not fucked but it certainly has a fair number of bugs and, given it’s constantly reporting back what you’re doing, any server issues, of which there are many, and it begins to fall apart. Have to say I just don’t seem to get this with Sony- fairly regular can’t connect to one Xbox service or another. With MS underpinning this game it feels like they should be doing a fair bit better.

The servers seem to have been a mess since the start. Quick resume seems to make it worse too. Without a clean restart getting into online races is hit and miss, and the map is normally empty of either other players or drivitars, sometimes it's literally empty.
Had a quick play yesterday though, and I noticed busses which I hadn't before which was a nice surprise coming round a corner sideways.
