Forza Horizon 4 |OT| Seasoned to Perfection
- Thread starter Klobrille
- Start date
When the hub app is not working, you can get them from rewards.forzamotorsport.net.
anyone else having issues with being kicked out of an online session after almost every race? After a race and returning to the openworld, i have to pause and select Play Online. I have also been disconnected in the middle of a forzathon which was annoying :\
I did them all, I am unsure which one this is. On top of a ruin with a roof? big slope? Start way down, reach the threshold at 200 km/h, adjust angle with rewind.
A very nice haul tonight.
All within 30 minutes, mostly through unlocking wheelspins with skill points, plus a few that I didn't screenshot, like a 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

the one on the construction site, inside the concrete ring and on top, so difficult to reach
I don't like the seasonal championship rewards, while the money is ok, feels like more fun getting cars and wheelspins.
The Route Creator is hilarious if you intentionally make messy checkpoint systems for the AI the fuck over itself. I've made an urban track where there's a part you have to drive twice, except at the end of a straight you go left or right depending on what part of the lap you're on. This with the fact I placed a checkpoint on the start/finish line (since you effectively go over that line as part of the track but not just at the end of the lap) makes the game go bonkers. First of all, you start the race and the game tells you right away you missed a checkpoint. And then you and perhaps one other driver are the only ones who will take the correct route, every other AI will fall in an endless loop of respawning to the previous checkpoint and thus generating a giant train of "ghost cars" appearing, speeding up, only to disappear and teleport back. If I tune it right, I could create a track where there's a constant barrage of AI cars practically blocking a path with you having to time your passage between the disappearing cars to go through. Frogger 2.0.
I used the Cerbera tuned to 999, adjust angle with rewind.
In general, all the boards you have to jump something to get to can be solved eventually by using the rewind function. I think the worst one for me was the one at the airfield where you have to make a massive jump with a great deal of precision, or the one where you have to drive through a concrete ring first and then smash into a board on top of a cargo container. Both of those also involved copious amounts of rewind, but it took a lot of the stress out.
(You'll hate me for this but I think I got the board you're talking about first try. A stroke of dumb luck, I was shocked. Don't remember the car, sadly.)
A very nice haul tonight.
My favourite car in the game. Such a smooth and stable ride, and goes like the dickens.
funny thing is i had no problem getting the ones you are talking about
There's a gully nearby that's part of the "track" that runs around that place.
You start off a bit round the corner then head straight for a mound of earth that acts as a perfect ramp into the pipe.
Abuse rewind to find the perfect speed and angle.
I used a Mini, for style mostly, I'm sure you can do it with any Rally-ish car.
I tried to see if you were gonna be available last week to do some. hopefully we'll be able to get co-op this Thursday or Friday?
I love it, it's probably my favorite race mode online (I can 100 % see why someone looking for straight-up "real" racing would frown at it tho)
I personally just hate how I'm sort of forced to go through the woods and all and not follow the path. And then when I do it, I manage to fuck it all up where I just end up getting last.
I just really love straight racing, following that path.
I love regular racing in single player, but freeroam rush is a welcome respite from the fuckery that comes with it in MP. And using the roads is actually a perfectly valid strategy depending on the car type.
I like the seat-of-your-pants, oh shit oh shit oh shit moments when you're going through a dense section of forest at breakneck speeds
but again, I can see why that's not everyone's cup of tea (sometimes it can get very random)
For me it's too random. Eventually everything devolves into "you win if you manage not to hit a tree" unless you stick to the roads, but it takes a lot of experience with the map to know if that's going to work for a given route or if you have to take a shortcut. Partially this is because sometimes the overland "shortcut" is actually a giant fuck-off mountain you can't climb, and as soon as you realize this your race is done, you lost, forget it. You can't tell this just from looking at the tiny route map.
After saying that the dev seemed to distinguish that there's a ton of players who bought the game and many who are playing through Game Pass. Unless he misspoke (which is possible on a large stage in front of tons of people), he seemed to be quite specific about the fact the game is the best SELLING entry of the series so far. Of course, that can mean multiple things, for example I doubt FH4 surpassed FH3's lifetime sales in 2 months, but it could be selling at a faster rate than other Horizon games which would still make his statement true. Hopefully they'll put out some proper data down the line.
Love the weather in the trailer. The shot at night under the aurora borealis and the snow was so cool.
I've been away from the game for a hot minute. Has the game's wheel support been improved at all?
Is there a maximum limit on Mixer influence? For some reason the last few times I've started the game, I haven't been getting the usual Mixer influence countdown, my driver level hasn't changed at all, and I don't get any new wheelspins. Mixer, for its part, is still showing influence being collected and the level drops back to 0 when I enter the game.
EDIT: Never mind, the next time I logged in, I lost some of my Forzathon progress but Mixer influence was registering properly again. Not sure what's going on but probably server weirdness?

Seems that way, I got that too.
Been playing a bit of Team Adventure for the first time. I get the frustrations with it but it's quite fun. Kind if wish there was a better system for missing checkpoints or they were wider, the reset is pretty hard to come back from.
Anyone got any recommendations for cars to use?

4WD cars for the freeroam stuff, or at least something that drives okay on dirt. For races, it's pretty much up to you. One thing I noticed about the A-class races is lots of people like using the Hot Wheels Boneshaker car, so if you just want a quick pick you could always do that. But really, lots of cars can be competitive, it's up to your driving style and how you tune the car (or what tune you grab online), really. I've won races using the tuned Ford Focus they give you at the very beginning of the game, for example.
I'm getting a bit of this too. I know there's a considerable drop-off once you hit a particular Mixer level after you first start doing it, but I don't know if there's any drop-offs after that. I hope not, it's the only way I've found to semi-consistently earn money without grinding for skills and buying/up-skilling that '82 Porsche.
I think it was just a glitch on my end or a server issue. I'm now getting Mixer influence and gaining levels/wheelspins at the same rate I was before. There was just a weird period where I seemed to get 0 progress on all those things for a session or two.
Don't know if it's been posted but here are achievement list for Fortune Island.
GTPlanet: FH4 Fortune Island Achievement list
GTPlanet: FH4 Fortune Island Achievement list
I put mine down to the same. But there's definitely a slowdown in wheelspins once you hit a certain point, though. But I think it only drops once, now I'll get just under 1 wheelspin/hour, about 8 over a 12 hour period. That's just with some crappy Android mobile plugged into USB power, sitting there with the Mixer app open 8)
Just wondering if someone minds helping me with my last achievement for the base game? Just need the Tortoise and the Hare achievement for completing a PvP Showdown in a D and X class car. Would greatly appreciate the assist :)
Edit: Nevermind, I'm a dufus. Quick youtube guide and I've got it.

Well done.
Did all the qualifiers for the ranked and all its shown me is how shocking the economy of this game is 10 events and I probably only earned 400-300k. How do they expect you to buy any of the expensive cars?

If I recall it has to be an ultimate drift? Double check that wording, I can't check right now.
Wall riding in the online races is shockingly bad. I can't believe they haven't fixed it or it's even there in the first place.
