Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Mae Borowski]

Dude that looks horrific... How does something like this get through QA? :-/

Forza. Thats how

Bold of you to assume they have a quality control department.

 

[skazz]

I wonder if it's not their QA department but more of a joint Microsoft one these days... And that certain other Microsoft games which are struggling with quality control are taking priority over the stable FH5.

Or otherwise their QA team is simply busy on FH6 and not able to spend much time on FH5 free updates. This is actually more likely...

I mean, it's Turn 10 that probably handles a lot of the modeling, considering a lot of the New to Forza cars are destined for FM2023 at some point; if anything, it's their QA that looks at cars like this, and since they're mostly contractors that are likely to be affected by layoffs, it's possible quite a few things like this slip through the cracks.

As for the FH6 question... honestly, there're points for and against an imminent announcement, but most of what we've seen seems to be pointing against for the moment. We'll have to see, if they do have that showcase still targeted for June.

I meant that as long as FH6 is in production most QA staff would be there. Since QA is an integral part of the modern software development cycle, not something you just do at the end.

What happens after QA and publishing code to a releasable form would be "play testing" for me, not really QA.

and since they're mostly contractors that are likely to be affected by layoffs, it's possible quite a few things like this slip through the cracks.

Surely contractors are employed externally on a fixed term contract and aware of when their contract will end/job is completed whereas staff who are employed permanently are the ones who are laid off. I work in HR for the NHS so I may be wrong

 

[Digolgrin]

In any event, this week is Terminator Mustang week; oh boy am I excited, this is gonna be so good.

And I guess an F-150 Raptor too, that's fine I guess.

 

[Kelpy D]

I have updated Horizon 5's TCRF page after revisiting AAASuspensionStructure in order to compile all of the possible car IDs that were used throughout the Forza franchise by downloading the Day 1 patch. Turns out a lot of Horizon Editons were left unused and other cars that I did't initially spot 2 years ago. Here's what I missed:

[Cinek156]

I would not expect in my life this car appear faster in my small town in Poland (20,000 people) than in Forza

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

So this are the ones w/o 'Forza/Horizon Edition':

Spoiler

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS
2011 Formula Drift #64 Nissan 370Z
2016 McLaren 570S Vorsteiner
2013 Toyota #18 Camry NASCAR
2012 McLaren MP4-12C Furious 7 Edition
2014 Alumicraft Pro Buggy
2016 CBL Ultra4 Truck

However I do think this one is already in the game?

Spoiler

2016 Lexus LC500

If you played FM23 at launch, you might have doubts about that statement... 🤔

2016 Lexus LC500

The Lexus LC 500 listed in FH5's filename was LEX_LC500_21. Maybe this LC 500 would have been in Motorsport 7/Horizon 4 if Toyota didn't pull out of games excluding Gran Turismo.

The 570S Vorsteiner is kind of in the game too since 620R has the same body kit.

 

[Turboteg90]

After 19 years the terminator is finally here.

 

[Digolgrin]

Speedran the hell out of the Festival Playlist to get mine as soon as it opened up. Haven't applied Mystichrome to it yet but I plan on it later today.

 

[Populuxe]

I think PG have broken the curse of the Series S. I haven’t had a single problem logging in and getting a stable session with FH5 ever since the last update. Meaning I could get this on the first try without multiple restarts.

 

[TokoTurismo]

^ I've what was happening with that Series S situation while offline, and I am grateful to hear the that curse has finally been lifted for you. 👍

Time to celebrate!

 

[Stang616]

Ugh...is it 5:00 yet?

I NEED this....

 

[Famine]

I just keep getting the fallback series now. Fifth time today.

Sigh.

 

[PaulGrey]

I just keep getting the fallback series now. Fifth time today.

Sigh.

I just came by to see if anyone else was having this issue. Guess I'll just wait.

Edit: I just got in.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

There have been some server problems today, Forza Support tweeted about it less than an hour ago.

 

[Populuxe]

Glad I logged in early today.

 

[Famine]

Glad I logged in early today.

I nearly missed my 100% record - couldn't clean up on Wednesday as usual because I was ill with something like a stomach bug, got the fallback twice before I could finish off Summer. Then I just managed to get the screenies for the season change post before more fallbacks until just over an hour ago.

 

[ScottPuss20]

I really want the Terminator Mustang to show up in Motorsport.

Hope you're feeling better now bud

 

[Mae Borowski]

The crashing problem seems to have now gotten worse for me on Series S. First it refuses to respond after opening on quick resume. Again. Then it crashes twice while loading into the Trial

 

[UKMikey]

I can't believe people are still using Quick Resume for FH5 given its current state.

 

[Mae Borowski]

I can't believe people are still using Quick Resume for FH5 given its current state.

Ill be honest, I forgot I had it on quick resume this time. Not sure how this has come about though, was never an issue until about January-ish

 

[The_Greaser]

Definitely agree with wanting the 2003 Mustang in FM23 as well. So should the 1995 Cobra which went absent after FM7.

 

[Xavier2342]

I haven't played FH5 since FM2023 was released. But the moment I found out about one of my favorite cars of all time finally being added to FH5. I had to have it.
