That dry, to rain, to thunderstorm was amazing. Runs great on my 980Ti. What really pisses me off though is that with all these damn graphics features you can turn off and off they still do not include fps counter. More studios need to get with it and include a damn fps counter so we can see what features are killing performances.
Stupid game dvr on windows settings was at 30fps. smh. I'll redo it.
XBOX One impressions:
The demo graphics are actually pretty terrible. It's clear this game is waiting for the One X to drop. The Nuburgring graphics are especially dire. The cars look like they're floating on the road at the start due to extremely basic shadows, and textures look flat and lifeless.
The one redeeming part of the demo is that the lightning causes the cars to light up (a very cool effect), and driving semis is endlessly entertaining.
The Dubai track is like Seattle at rush hour, and was't fun in the slightest due to this.

Damn that looks beautiful, I never picked up FM5/FM6...might have to make a return.

Remember FM5 is currently GWG 😉😎
Here's a gallery of some 4k images I took, there's some loss of quality in the images compared to what it actually looks like. I used Print Screen to OneDrive.

There's a lot of details the next forza really needs to look at, AI, force feedback, pit stops, qualitying, the list has been huge since forza 2 was a thing and every game has hardly fixed these missing issues.
My goodness such a gorgeous game

I don't have a solution to your main problem (sorry!) but this I can explain - UWP apps are a weird, convoluted beast that tie themselves to the OS drive. When you install it to any other drive, the files are indeed put on that drive, but a symbolic link (i.e. a fancy shortcut) is created in the hidden C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder. That way the OS points to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, but it ends up landing at E:\Whatever.

Runs very well in game with a 1080 @ 2k all maxed wìth MSAA 2x but for some reason menu are really slow and lagging. On the other hand I tried with my G29 well and it fells like total shit.

Makes sense. Oh well, no demo for me.
and the reason I blamed UWP has become clear: this happened because I installed this demo on my newer SSD that hadn't had any UWP games on it before. Windows hated that, but had no way to inform me. UWP is a garbage implementation. I just moved the game to another drive on a whim, and sure enough, it worked. Did I say "fuck UWP" yet? No? Fuck UWP. Gonna test this now on my 1080Ti...

This disappoints me greatlyGuess Ill have to try Project Cars 2 then.
there were good impressions on PC2 on E3 by pro drivers, so for those with wheel it must really be the best of the three...

Man I'm surprised even at 8x MSAA the game runs a flawless 60fps at 1440p on a 980ti
I'm running it on a 1070 at 4k, and it's running excellent as well. Your 980ti is probably overkill for this game at 1440p. I wouldn't be surprised if you could run it at 80-90fps maxed.

No HDR footage kicking around?
I don't think there's a way yet of distributing HDR footage, or really ways for people to play it back in media players? Even if you screenshot and post on imgur, you can't actually see it.

On Xbox One. A few details I liked. The netting moves now in the side windows which is cool and the driver suits look real good. The dynamic skies are really cool, but why is the sky on Mugello just static? Hope this is just placeholder.

Built in players on smart TVs are capable of playing HDR through a downloaded file.

Can do on my S8 if there are downloads available.

Windows 10 Store keeps crashing when I try to "buy" the demo... -_-;
There's a 25 page thread on the official Forza forums about the FFB and wheel issues:

PC 1070 blah blah.....
Game looks amazing
Controls feel terrible with a controller.. Maybe it's just me.
Maybe too much flash? The thunderstorm/downpour, and then that other track with the confide, helicopters flying, planes landing etc.. .. The tracks seem too busy. I'd expect this from Horzen, but I'm looking for sim here.

There's definitely some CPU optimization to be done, but it's not bad. The AI on pro and with the aggression limit off = bunch of asses. Every chance they get, they put you into the wall or try to spill you out.
They have dynamic day/night weather now.
Previously all shaders were backed in, now they are dynamic.
This in combination with 1080/60 is probably just too much for a standard Xbox One

Honestly it's at the point now that I don't expect these issues ever to be addressed satisfactorily. Still probably going to buy it but not looking at Forza for the full sim experience, which is a shame because with their resources they could make something truly great
Oh I'm sure. I'm just surprised by how... barren it looks on the XBOX ONE S. Compared to the gorgeous PC version it looks like a last-gen title.
That's pretty much my setup... hoping to squeeze even more frames out on my 144Hz G-Sync.Man I'm surprised even at 8x MSAA the game runs a flawless 60fps at 1440p on a 980ti

Really? That seems to be the exact opposite of other comments here. I'll be checking it out tomorrow on Xbox One as well. Since I don't have the S I'll be able to see the difference between non HDR and with HDR when One X releases. Should be interesting.
As for differences, MS DID say their first party games would all be 4K. I wonder how much other improvements we realistically can expect next to that, but going by your comment here it sounds like X will provide a very clear difference.

The talk of the FFB being bad is killing me. Is there some unwritten rule that all the really polished racers with good visuals have shit FFB?? I mean, what is the point? What is the point making a racing sim with shit FFB? All that attention to detail in other areas of the game for nothing. Waste of time.

Hmmm.... not sure how I feel about the demo(PC). Getting a lot of hitching. Menus are really bad but during the race it is not smooth at all with a 7700K/1080 at 2560x1080. My 1080 doesnt seem to be getting any sort of stress. Tried the default setting (generally Ultra/High), tweaked some setting in and out of the game and it is mildly irritating. Kind of feels like the odd drops in Horizon. I wan't to pull out my wheel to give this a go but hearing some of the comments here I may just leave it packed and just use a controller.
Yeah, not good at all.

Performance issues for me. i5 7600 with 16gb and a 1080ti. Running a rog pg348q gsync at 100hz. All settings left to recommended and at least once a lap the game shits the bed for a few seconds stuttering about badly. I have only managed to run a bench once which gave me max of 100 frames but the other 2 times I have ran the game has simply quit on me. Any suggestions?

Looks like cell-shading on the left where the rocks meet the sky.

Looks good, but what's with the mountains? Looks like they have an outline.

HTF is this running at 4K 60fps on a 1060GTX with an old i7-3770. Dubai track.

Damn
My game actually experienced two instances where it froze for a solid 3-5 seconds during a race. It would resume and run normally, but some odd glitches going on here.

Thank you Microsoft for bringing this beauty to PC. The game is amazing, runs on ultra 1080p 60 fps with no drops on a i5 6600K / RX 580. The sound is amazing and the image quality jaw dropping. It's a must buy for me.

Yeah, same happened here. Are you running a new version of RTSS that supports UWP by any chance? Maybe turn it off. Doesn't do good things for UWP games imo.
UWP games seem to be very sensitive to stuff going on with your PC it seems. Any kind of load seems to cause framerate problems. Forza Apex performance would deteriorate and improve with a reboot.
