So any news on when VIP and other Ultimate Edition content is fixed for the PC version? Forced to play the Xbox version at the moment in order to access all of that.

Feels kind of shitty.

Wow I just spent like 3 hours blasting round the building site in the Focus RS. This game is crazy!
Absolutely love that beast, and it feels so much at home in the construction area.

Any tips on how to shuffle a playlist in Groove Music? I know the game will just play the playlist in order but if I could actually shuffle the playlist itself that'd work. >_>
I'm also curious about this. Is it something that has to be done in Groove Music itself? The app is a clusterfuck.

Good news everyone.

We'd like to let the community know that the store team has root-caused the issue that is causing some players to not have DLC working in-game on Windows 10 PC's. The fix has been verified using a few players, and they are preparing a script that will correct the problem for all impacted players.

Great to hear, is there any time frame on that script?

Doesn't seem like it. Their twitter is just them sending out the same "we're working on it" replies. I want my VIP. :(

Edit:

Are we in it if we're still in the FH2 club, or is this something different I need to sign up for?
For the ingame club there's a sign up sheet and you'll have to sign up to reserve a spot. It's open to join, but if you aren't on the list you may get removed to make room for others once the club fills up.

We are aware of in-game stuttering issues that have been reported by the community on certain configurations on PC. We have some performance improvements coming in the next update, but in the meantime if you're having problems we would recommend to try to allow the game to set the default video settings to see if it improves your experience for now.

To go to default settings, press Y on the video options screen then save.

Any GAF clubs?

Think this is it:

*PSA ForzaGAF Car Club Info*
The car club is slowly growing, but servers are a bit slow and the invite a friend to club is sort of broken on the system. So for the next 2 weeks the club will be open to anyone. As soon as you unlock clubs in game you'll be able to search for "GAF" and join the group. After the 2 weeks we'll set the club to invite only and we will take requests. This should give everyone a chance to get the game and unlock the clubs.

I can't stress this enough, put your info in the spreadsheet. When the club fills up and we need to make space people not on the spreadsheet will be knocked out first. Where is the spreadsheet? Quote this post to see it.

Do we have a time frame for the performance patch?

Also is is possible to add an option to disable the 'bob' of the drone when its stationary and also increase its flying height?

So after hours of fun playing this on the Xbox. I'm now getting crashes. I can't progress at all. It crashes every time. This is so disappointing.

I'm fine at Ultra 4K 30fps for the time being thank you very much :)

BUT, there's some obvious CPU problems beyond just the hitching that everyone is experiencing. I'm fairly confident that people with beefy CPU's should be able to run this at locked 60fps (Otherwise why is the option even in?!!). Right now people can't even hit that when they drop the graphics way down.

I know you guys can sort it!

Try a hard reset of your Xbox.

Like I said on Twitter, we're aware of the issue and working on a solution as a priority. Beyond that there isn't really much I can add at this point in time unfortunately. I/We do really appreciate everyone's patience though whilst we get things sorted.

Thank you for the updates.

I really appreciate that we have the chance here @Gaf to interact with you.
Maybe the tone isn't always right from every post, but it's just the frustration after 2 days of this annoying bug. Really hope you guys can fix this quickly and help us UE buyers out in some way.

EDIT: Oh I just saw your recent post.
That's great news. May we know what caused the problem?
And will we get some kind of compensation for the two days :D

What about for Xbox one users whose vip/car pass isn't showing up?

i think the game might just be made to take the most of 5-6(don't know specifics for Xbox one) cores and putting it in 4 cores results in bad

Is there a spot in the skill tree i'm missing that unlocks the halo theme and other remaining horns? I think I've unlocked two or three already, but going through the entire list I didn't another horn option anywhere.

Anyone here still having problems with VIP on Xbox btw?

Can you confirm 100% that you have actually installed the DLC entitlements? You have to manage game for Forza Horizon 3, then if you have the DLC in Ready to Install you need to press the Install All button

The horns can be unlocked via achievement challenges, achievements that reward you with 0g. You can check for them on your achievement list.

I'll spoiler them in case people want to unlock them as they play.

Halo Horn 1
Complete 3 games of Flag Rush in an Extreme off-road car to unlock.

Halo Horn 2
Complete 3 games of King in an extreme off-road car to unlock.

Halo Theme Horn
Win a game of either King or Flag Rush in an Extreme Off-road car to unlock the complete Halo horn.
 
Anyone get this error when you try to join the GAF FH3 club (in game):

Failed to add Club member. They are already in a Club.

I'm part of the ForzaGAF community thing in xbox one itself, not sure if thats causing the error. Not in a FH3 club otherwise.

When does "Club" tab unlock in game? It's been greyed out for me.

You have to unlock the second stage in your THIRD festival area - 330k fans, as someone said above. Sometimes the club button goes grey for me when the game can't communicate with servers.



edit: never mind, was able to successfully join GAF. I had to join another random club first, get accepted, then try to join GAF, which told me I'd leave my current club if I joined GAF. Worked though, sorry random open club I picked from suggest to me :(

Looks like it'll be awhile before I get them, thanks for the info!
 
So I declined the initial Groove Music trial assuming I could go back and activate it later. Is there any way to do that? I'm always down for a free trial with no credit card/having to remember to turn off auto-renew.
 
Man on the right side of festival perks, for 5 points you can buy a perk that lets you prize spin any time you want for 50k, VIP bonuses don't apply. Soooo dangerous, its basically gambling for cars. I LOVE IT

servers seem much better to me now, everything is working so far *fingers crossed*
