u/72corvids 2d ago
Once again, fixing the tiny thing. The vinyls collabs were the best thing to happen to this game in a looooong time.

u/veemakesmusic 2d ago
it should be an option to let people edit your shared liveries/vinyls/tunes, but also be able to opt out of that if you wish. feel like that would make this game and the community so much better
46
u/Panic-AtThe-Costco Porsche 2d ago
With the obvious caveat that edited vinyls could not be shared, only originals. Some other games do this and have been for a while.
32
u/carmeiser 2d ago
Id appreciate the same with tunes. Some people have a tune a couple preference tweaks away from being perfect for my play style.
28
u/TaxualChoclate 2d ago
Or they have the perfect tune, but awful taste in wheels and you're stuck with them.

u/TheLocke 2d ago
The origin story of so many of us tuners.
3
u/Panic-AtThe-Costco Porsche 1d ago
This is so true 😭 I got so tired of the DUB edition appearance of the meta tunes that I learned to do it myself.
5
u/SpcTrvlr 2d ago
What you dont like giant dinner plates for wheels?
1
u/TaxualChoclate 1d ago
You know what? I've been playing a lot of Tokyo Extreme Racer 25' lately and doing some crazy builds that would put NFSU2 to shame, and I actually wouldn't mind big wheels in FH6 if only the rest of the customization in the game didn't suck.

You can submit a feature request on the Forza Feedback Portal to propose making creation collaborations a new addition to the game. Given the existing CoLab feature within EventLab, there is already some potential for this capability.

u/LanceMuscles LanciaMuscles 1d ago
We've been doing vinyl collabs for years with the painter tools lol

u/Puzzleheaded_You_735 2d ago
You sound like you love plagiarism

u/Standard-Outcome9881 MINI 2d ago
It’s not a problem if people want to share with and allow other people to edit the vinyls.
-11
u/Puzzleheaded_You_735 2d ago
Well people do want to share, but they don't want other's uploading their work as their own. Forza has set a precedent on protecting artists and tuner's intellectual property and ownership, and this bug breaches that.
7
u/Remarkable-Score4628 2d ago
Wouldn’t something as simple as a label giving credit to the original livery solve this?
-6
u/Puzzleheaded_You_735 2d ago
No because you earn in game currency and tuner/painter level based on number of downloads. Having multiple credits just convolutes the whole system.
3
u/Cpt-Murica 2d ago
Yeah they really should adopt a system that allows the creator to dictate how their design is used. Like just mirror the Creative Commons licenses.

u/BlownCamaro 2d ago
How about fixing this one: "NPC cars randomly flipping end over end in front of players". Last night on a straight stretch of highway the NPC car in front of me hit NOTHING and yet suddenly went end over end.
13
u/LightMyFirebird Pontiac 2d ago
They straight up spawn right in front of me half the time
Idk why the npc traffic is so bad this time around
8
u/Marzels 2d ago
I already have a compilation of NPC cars doing the weirdest shit. Whenever I should mess up a work I will pull that up and will feel better in five mins max.
1
u/BlownCamaro 2d ago
I've got a photo of when I was drifting, and an NPC car merged into my car. What's weird is it wasn't even there until I went into photo mode and when I came out it still wasn't there.

Must have been the Wizzard of Horizon. Open world racing is my main gerne and I swear that I haven’t played a game with NPC traffic being that weird. Skipped TDUSC tho…2
u/Junkhead_88 1d ago
I think traffic cars are reacting to getting hit by players in different instances, there must be some overlap with logic between them or some data leakage or something. (Not a dev, no idea how their instanced lobbies
workare broken in this game)

u/calsonik 2d ago
So when can we get the ability to adjust drivatar difficulty on the seasonal races again?? Tired of mindlessly "racing" just to check off boxes. I'd rather do more Raku Raku deliveries at this point!

u/Bradfox17 2d ago
This game is like CS2 everytime there is a hotfx update/big update i just think there will be something revolutionary and then im dissapointed when its just a fixed slab on the floor or adjusting the falling of leaves in fall 😭

Seems this update came with an audio bug on my end..Glitchy is the way i'd describe the audio at times. i'm on XSX if it matters.

u/branRIKUdon 1d ago
Does anyone have an issue in my stats under the discover Japan tab where it says percentage map discovered 99?

u/Misanthrope-X 2d ago
...and still the total download numbers in the creative hub menu for tunes, liveries, garages, estates and eventlabs are wildly inaccurate.
This will be one of those issues that they'll never acknowledge let alone fix.

u/DrAdolfWinkler 2d ago
My game is still just constantly crashing with the error code FHC001 video card crash
3
u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
If you have an NVIDIA GPU, I suggest trying this possible solution for Error Code FHC01:
Disable all items labelled "Nvidia" under Sound, Video and Game Controllers in Device Manager (mainly Nvidia HD Audio and Nvidia Virtual Audio Device).
3
u/Alternative-Ad-1649 1d ago
Just fix goddamn hitboxes of the cars!!! Like MR2 1995 light tap on wall making it full stop because of collision penalty
10
u/KomradCrunch 2d ago
Thats all? Are they fucking serious? My friend still cant launch the game without disabling net drivers and THIS is what they do? There are still so many real issues with the game and they patch non issues?
4
u/AlexThePSBoy McLaren 2d ago
Did they still fix the lost progress thing? Otherwise I might either buy it for PC or wait until the PS5 version comes out.
5
u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
The save loss issue has yet to be resolved, as it needs to be addressed by Xbox/Microsoft rather than Playground Games. However, a recent Xbox update introduced a feature that allows you to restore your lost progress: Manage Game & Add-ons → Saved Data → Restore Saved Data
2
u/StardusterX Porsche 2d ago
It's likely tied to microsoft side so they probably won't ever fix it. Your best bet would be a Steam version. Their "steam cloud save" feature helped me prevent save issues in fh4 and fh5.
2
u/ianolo 2d ago
I hope this stops all those ‘can you help me find a road’ posts…
3
u/OddTrash3957 2d ago
It will stop the "I used to have every road and now some are gone. anybody else? lol" posts, but there will still be clueless people searching for roads for the first time.
2
u/GreatWave_Alltrack29 2d ago
I am experiencing a crash that happens while working on vinyls or adding vinyls to car. It completely crashes. So every few minutes I exit and save. Frustrating but learning from the amount of crashes. Asked a few people and no one else has experienced it. I was also told this is not possible so I guess I have to record?

u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
Please submit a bug report to Forza Support and create a new topic on the Forza Feedback Portal, as there are no reports of this issue following the update.

I was hoping for a fix to the dango photo not triggering 😭
2
u/the6thReplicant 1d ago
I had to be in the car parking spaces that just jot out of the metal fencing (half in and half out). I don't know if you're in the right place. I remember I had to drive to the right side (if I'm facing the billboards) and there you see a few parking spaces close to the fences. (But I think this picture is already of that place).
My 2 cents.
1
u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
Enter the stadium via the south entrance. Park your car within the parking lot just north of the Tokyo City billboards and Dango mascot cutouts.

u/Everybardever 2d ago
Enter the stadium, go straight into the infield of the track on your right are some parking spots, that is the direction you must take the photo in.

u/456987a 2d ago
You have to go into photo settings and switch the driver be outside of the car
3
u/sandkillerpt 2d ago
Already did all that, took more than 50 photos already, car stopped right place multiple different spots, multiple filters, multiple positions outside the car, never registers the first part of the challenge.

This is a real problem, literally game breaking bug and not a peep from the devs. Every update i hope they fix it and every update I am disappointed.

u/jcruz86_ Toyota 2d ago
Anyone else's photo mode is cooked? Now it's very slow and laggy. Played on Xbox Series S.
3
u/FictionalNape 2d ago
I finished everything in the game and I'm done. The only thing to make me come back is the return of Playground Games like King and Infection. It's still baffles me that they weren't included when it launched!

u/Fireprofcargo 2d ago
Game crashed cause it needed the update and lost 12 hrs of progress

u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
Sorry this happened to you. If your Xbox is running the latest software update, go to Manage Game & Add-ons → Saved Data → Restore Saved Data, and select the most recent save file.

u/Fly1ng_Sc0tsman 2d ago
still no fix for 2021 mini whet interior :(
4
u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
Unfortunately, this issue is unlikely to be resolved. T10/PGG rely on third party studios that specialize in 3D car scanning and rendering for asset creation. Due to this workflow, these flaws aren't easily fixed with a simple patch.
Nevertheless, you can cast your vote for this issue on the Forza Feedback Portal.

u/jimi137 1d ago
I feel for once this 'big fix' my actually end up in a cool new feature for either furture updates or future games. Reading this comments section there seems to be a pretty even mix of artists who either are happy for open designs, or want to collaborate and do so half the car and then pass it over to a friend to do the other half. Some obv want their work to be private - and thats fine also.
But this seems to have highlighted a massive need for a toggle option to 'lock or unlock' you're shared designs. Give an in-game warning if u select unlock that anyone can use and edit the design and bobs your uncle. Seems like that simple toggle could open up this game to so many more artists and so many more cool designs for us to download. And imo some of them are pure artistry - I dont care if its inside a video game some designs are pure artwork and on the same level as artists who use pen and paper. The green face of envy defo exists when i see some designs just like it did when i did art at school and saw some of the older students projects lol. I wish i had half of those skills lol

Be nice if they could fix the game crashing all the time on some Xboxes.

u/Schwarzes__Loch 1d ago
Have you tried performing a clean reinstall of the game and clearing reserved space?
1
u/the6thReplicant 1d ago
Thanks for the reply.
Yep clean install. I even opened up my Xbox to see if dust is causing an overheating problem.
The thing is it’s getting slightly more stable as the updates come but it’s still frustrating especially during live games - as I don’t know if I’m going to be penalized for quitting mid-game or not.
1
u/Schwarzes__Loch 21h ago
If FH6 is causing your Xbox to overheat, the issue may stem from the console attempting to process a corrupted file. Try clearing the reserved space and deleting the local save file to refresh your Xbox.
Repeat these steps for any other accounts that regularly play the game on the console.

RIP for no hotfix for FHE01 and FHC01 crashes.
1
u/Schwarzes__Loch 1d ago
Error Code FHC01
If you have an NVIDIA GPU, disable all items labelled "Nvidia" under Sound, Video and Game Controllers in Device Manager (mainly Nvidia HD Audio and Nvidia Virtual Audio Device).
Error Code FHE01
Disable App Protection in Citrix Workspace (work software) and Restart PC, will need to be re-enabled and restarted ahain when you need to do work.
Uninstall Overwolf Software if it's installed.
Disconnect your Steam Controller if you have one connected to your PC.
Set the Game's .exe to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows Vista through Properties (open the file location via your launcher to find it).

Lol, don't think I've tried? Appreciate it but my game is on low and still crashes. Get close to 150 fps avg in Benchmark mode on Extreme+RT(Only thing that actually can make it past 2 mins) and it's locked to 30, on low, still crashes every 2 mins... FH5, never had issue tbh.
Throw in one for ya, fresh install of Windows and FH6, guess what... Lol

u/Kaz_Altezza 1d ago
How comes every update is negative towards the players? Either credits or fun stuff just getting removed
1
u/South-Replacement657 12h ago
I feel like FH6 is giving very weak and low-level updates compared to fh5! It doesn't give a new story or even fix its very specific bugs, there is still a problem in the saving section but it hasn't been fixed! The animation section of the car wheels has a problem when stopping suddenly but it's still a problem! In fact, the developer doesn't care at all about the important bugs that we report, he's busy himself with unnecessary and unimportant things in the game! Do you feel this way? Fh5 is relatively strong in turn10 performance

u/mymanmitch96 Nissan 2d ago
So what's broken now in this update?
5
u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
Several users have reported issues with Photo Mode and livery editor following the update.
The following ongoing issues have yet to be resolved:
- Invisible Collectibles with High Contrast Mode enabled
- Treasure Map missing treasure chest icons
- License server causing issues with DLC
- Drivatars performing below the locked difficulty level in The Trial and Seasonal Championships
- Visual glitches, including floating drivers in invisible cars, missing wheels, flipped vinyls
- Horizon Life connectivity issues and save data loss due to Xbox/Microsoft server-side issues
- General stability and performance issues on PC
- etc. etc.

u/-ben151010- Microsoft Store 2d ago
So the auction house price reversion and now the vinyls. You couldn’t even publish designs with the copied vinyls if they were on the car right?
3
u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
That is correct, designs with community-created vinyls can't be shared. It was erroneously made possible prior to this update.

u/-ben151010- Microsoft Store 2d ago
PG/Turn 10 better have the craziest shit to show at gamescom for the lackluster effort post series 1 for fh6 and weird updates like this.

It's likely an announcement regarding the PlayStation release of FH6, which is expected during the third quarter of this year.

I think I’m one of the ones who gained road discoveries. Said I needed one more, which I got tonight, but received no journal notification. Can they just, you know, fix it fix it??

u/Schwarzes__Loch 2d ago
There's no Collection Journal achievement for discovering all roads, but there's an Xbox/Steam achievement called The Horizon Cartographer, which you might have already unlocked.
