did u last login before buying hotwheels expansion at the blizzard mountain?

if u last logged out in blizzard mountain then u installed hotwheels DLC the game will crash..

I installed both the DLC at the same time. Do I need to go and do something with Blizzard mountain. Sorry a bit confused by your advice. Thanks

oh i dunno then.. i just knew there was a problem if you had previously logged out in blizzard mountain.. and then installed hot wheels the game would crash.. only way to fix it was to move ya car back to original map then install hot wheels and it should work!

Is Horizon free on PC?

If I want to play Hot Wheels, can I just buy that single expansion?

Thanks.

Edit:

Got it, it is a "play anywhere" title so need to purchase that then the expansion.

Was a "cut down" Forza free at some point?

V_R · 12 May 2017 at 14:21

Forza Apex which is a slimmed down FM6 is free, not Horizon I'm afraid.

Gimpymoo · 12 May 2017 at 14:30

Thanks.

Yeah, the cost of entry is high on this one.

I agree, it's not a cheap game but it's rather fleshed out and there's quite a lot of content.
There's more than 400 cars now, no other semi-arcade racer can boast anything like that.

If you like cars, you'll most likely play this for a long time. I've been playing for about 60h since release and still have only completed 15 of 63 tournaments because I get sucked in into Rivals or just driving around

Not to mention all the collectibles etc.
The expansions are very nice as well.

Just picked this up after seeing the latest patch fixed PC issues. Couldn't quite get into Project Cars

Psymonkee · 13 May 2017 at 23:05

Hot Wheels is ace fun but badly needs a full arcade drift handling model

Amatsubu · 14 May 2017 at 17:41

I praised them a bit too soon, it seems the last update has borked Blizzard Mountain and it won't load from the menu. I managed to make it run by accessing it from the airfield itself but now the game crashes at the loading screen since it remembers I played BM last time so it loads that instead of the main map...

Seems I'm stuck till they release a patch.

Psymonkee · 14 May 2017 at 19:47

The game now runs utterly terrible for me! i5 4790K, 16gb RAM, GTX 970 (not the greatest I know...) but now it does bursts of being smooth followed by feeling like your driving in treacle and skips between the 2 unpredictably! Worse still there's a bug with the PC version meaning the player cars are speed limited while the AI cars aren't - wondered why I kept losing everything!

Amatsubu · 14 May 2017 at 20:43

Had to uninstall Hot Wheels to make the game load Blizzard Mountain :rolleyes:

I swear there hasn't been a single update for this game that wouldn't bork anything else in the process...

About the speed bug, I didn't notice anything? Winning most races on the second hardest difficulty (I think) quite comfortably.

Are you at 1080p? I've got a 1070 but run a 1440p screen, it's absolutely flawless now so I guess it should run pretty good for you at 1080p.

Psymonkee · 15 May 2017 at 07:20

Running a 1440p screen here. Was fine the last time I played it (February!) and now it's just unplayable. Dropping the res does little to help it and locking it to 30fps only helps a little :s

Sargatanas2511 · 15 May 2017 at 08:18

Strange, it runs far better for me now than it ever did. I get 50-70fps solid at 1440p only a few settings not at max.

V_R · 15 May 2017 at 09:05

Runs beautifully at max (no FXAA as I don't like it)/1080p here for me too. Still not tried the Hot Wheels DLC though....

wellibob · 15 May 2017 at 21:34

Latest patch definitely makes the game run extremely smooth and effortless now. Hot wheels is fun also.

Playing Hot Wheels,gives me goosebumps

Very different DLC than many expected and i really enjoying it.
That said - im waiting on Forza 7 news very very soon

E3 will bring some information hopefully.

Amatsubu · 16 May 2017 at 12:42

I hope they'll release a patch soon because I can only play Blizzard Mountain OR Hot Wheels as the update has borked BM for Expansion Pass holders...

hrockh · 16 May 2017 at 15:05

such a good game. I just wish they would bring down the price every now and then..

MS gets called M$ and stuff like this is the reason. The expansion pass costs over 35 euros here, which is just insane. I want to buy it, but out of principle I refuse to pay as much as I paid for the game itself, for two smaller expansions.
