Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[SU_Tempest]

This is happening to a lot of us. A lot of users on here started reporting this bug right after HW DLC released. It happened to me tonight as well when I logged on. All manufacturers rewards reset and I went up a couple of hundred levels in Open also.

Oh! Okay. Reassured to see it's not just me, thank you for letting me know!

On a side note, the re-redeeming means I am now sitting on a nice pile of wheelspins again (18 normals and 12 supers). The XP that gave me made me jump 2 levels, and I have a bunch of reward cars all over again .

Well, not gonna complain about freebies!...

Finally, I got ONE - count'em, ONE - of the new Hot Wheels car from the wheelspins.

Edit: Interesting detail that I spotted - the Extreme E cars appear to be under the banner of France in the game.

I am wondering if it's because Extreme E is an FIA-sanctioned event, and FIA is a French organization.

That's cool bud no worries. You did a lot better than me with your free spins lol, congratulations on your Mustang. I made a couple of million credits and cars, but nothing special. Not too fussed I don't need anything.

I’ve started working again recently so was able to splash out on the premium add on pack for the game. Really enjoying going back through the Car Pass and discovering what cars were in it. Really enjoying Hot Wheels. I had good memories from Australia but even moreso this time in Mexico. A lot of fun and I’ve barely scratched the surface so there goes my weekend lol. I really like the progression that limits you by class-I was unaware this also applies to anything from your garage and I don’t mind this one bit. Forces you to take it class by class rather then just breaking out a S2 rocket from the beginning.

No, it's because the Extreme E car is made by Spark Racing Technologies, a French company

ODYSSEY 21

The championship cars are a one design fleet, a fully electric SUV, named ODYSSEY 21. In order to withstand the harsh conditions it will face, the car’s peak 400kw (550bhp) output is capable of firing the 1780-kilogram, 2.3-metre wide e-SUV from 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds, at gradients of up to 130...

Hey, today I learned something new. Thanks a bunch!

 

[Populuxe]

I got a boost in my Horizon Open level, too. I was in the high 800s, now I’m maxed out at 1000. I didn’t get all my car collection rewards reset, just two or three.

 

[RYAN]

I got boosted up to 990 in open an got all car collection prizes rewarded again too. This was the second time i signed in after the release of Hot Wheels.

 

[Edax 76]

I only got boosted to level 580. Not fair, why do the Forza Horizon Gods favour you more than me? 😂😂😂😂😂

 

[strela]

Now that I unlocked all classes I decided to do some exploration while trying to get all the xp boards. And it's a lot of fun.
And while driving around at night I found a smaller Dragon.

Did anyone found anything? Maybe the T-Rex?

Spoiler: location clue

 

[Imari]

Is it just me or does the Deora II look like the motor vehicle equivalent of a rather large suppository in shape?

No Paige. Just no.

 

[bluemoon_19]

I got my collector rewards reset too, 1 of my super wheelspins gave me a rip rod. I sold it for 8 million(even better now i see it as a reward on the new playlist, bet the guy who bought it isn't best pleased)

 

[pez2k]

On the topic of boosts, did the requirements change for some of the seasonal accolades? I haven't done the weekly Playground Games in months, yet I suddenly got the top accolade for completing them, having done 26 of the required 25. Other than 24/25 Trials I now have every accolade in the category completed, which I could have sworn I hadn't before.

To me it looks more like half of a a strange car-themed pair of Crocs, the spoiler being the little strap that hooks around the top of your heel to keep it from falling off.

Also, is it just me or are the Hot Wheels qualifiers and story episodes, like, way too easy? I cleared the three star goals by a country mile on all of them and it's certainly not due to any particularly skilled driving on my part. Even the "drive from arbitrary point A to arbitrary point B" goals used for progression feel extremely lenient, and that's without ever going near any cars that are meta-friendly.

I've made a 5-minute meme livery for BTTB, in case it becomes the Bone Shaker of S2 (ridiculously overpowered for Rivals/Horizon Open). Sharecode's 639 749 469

Not just you. Noticed the exact same thing, down to having 24/25 before. That is despite my playing and completing every single playlist since Series 0.

 

[RazorSharkz]

I'm probably late to this party but as much as I love the WRX, having 9 of them but no other Subaru models feels wrong. I'd love the old Legacy and Brat back sometime.

 

[SU_Tempest]

Me, every single time I do the Trial:

I know I'm not alone, but I've done it twice today (for the sake of testing an R34 GT-R tune) and on both counts, I've been rammed and survived divebomb attempts by people who still don't have the word "team" in their vocabulary. There isn't even any goshdarn need to win anymore, my first attempt was a loss, and I still got the Portofino prize car.

They should stop calling it The Trial. A more fitting name is Defensive Drive: Unlimited.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I logged on last night and I didn't get the manufacturer rewards reset or the horizon open level up bug. Do I need to do something to trigger either?

Cross your fingers and hope???? It's a bug mate. It may happen to you or it may not. There is no way to trigger it unfortunately.

Took some FH5 Hot Wheels photos inspired by the Hot Wheels Unleashed game! These cars also appear in that game.

2018 Ford Mustang GT [2018 Muscle Mania]

1964 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage [2018 HW Screen Time]

1983 Audi Sport quattro [2019 Baja Blazers]

2020 Koenigsegg Jesko [2020 HW Exotics]

2018 McLaren Senna [2019 HW Exotics]

Hot wheels is fun but I went back to the base game for the festival playlist and are the extreme e cars are supposed to be dead silent?

The real cars make a whine noise like formula e or even the electric mustang they put in the game. Really lazy again even past the one car and 10 liveries thing.

 

[Populuxe]

It's just a minor thing, but I wish they'd make the font used for the Horizon Festival logo available in the livery editor.

 

[RazorSharkz]

Soft finished Hot Wheels and I honestly think it's my favorite expansion yet. I expected more of the FH3 Hot Wheels expansion and got so much more.

Also I'm not big on the 10 seperate Extreme E vehicles but they are pretty fun to drive. I may need to catch one of their races online

 

[strela]

I finished Hot Wheels and got the Missions Complete! achievement. Only 0.03% of players got it. I thought it must be the rarest achievement in FH5, right? Nope. Beach Bomb has only 0.02% and it only require a simple jump in a Samba Bus, ok the Type 2. That is not fair at all. 😂
Now I have to take a little brake because I'm starting to feel motion sick when playing HW for more than two hours. I never thought you could feel motion sickness while playing video games.

So after the 10th Series update, we stand here:

If we add DLC (car pass [41/42] + expansion - HW [10] + MACH E 1400 (horizon story)+HW cars added to wheelspins [5]),
We have total of 64 actual new to Forza cars out of 108 total cars added to the game, if i have not made any errors.

Edit: corrected for series 9 HW wheelspin cars.

Maybe its decided on how much open racing we did before the ranks and badges were implemented maybe. Although to be honest.. I dont recall playing much Open Racing before the Ranking and Badge update so I doubt it😁

I've completed everything too. Other than the glitched achievement. Funnily enough. All the top 6-7 top most rare achievements on my Steam profile are from the Hot Wheels DLC. Previously most were from DiRT Rally 2.

"Beach Bomb" and "Back in the Saddle" are 0.01% on Steam. "Missions Complete!" and a few other HW achievements are 0.10%.

 

[Edax 76]

I've reported so many top of the leader board scores/speeds for the new DLC. It's absurd, there's one speed trap in the SE of the map which has at No.1 a speed of over 800mph if I remember right.

My enjoyment in the FH games comes from car collecting and leader board scores. It's so demoralising to see this happening so blatantly. I know I've spoken about this before but I really can't believe there isn't something that the developers can't do. They must know the limits of what the in game vehicles are so simply do not allow times/scores above these limits to be counted. I know drift zones are near impossible to police like this, but the other zones? It must be possible.

That monster truck race can just **** right off. I had to rewind 5 times after getting rammed by the scripted AI, and to cap it off, the game crashed during the stunts segment after staying in "letterbox" mode and not showing my score.

Yeah that took me a few attempts too bud.
