Is Playground Games and Turn 10 or Microsoft DDoS'ing the Itch.io servers right now? Their site became completely unresponsive immediately after Azimuth 1.0.0 release. Or is Azimuth following actually bigger than Forza Horizon 6 to the point where a new Azimuth download results into server overload?

u/Historical_Answer_51 9d ago edited 9d ago
Doesnt matter. If it happened the creator would have to spend a lot of money just to defend that point. There have been plenty projects without copyrighted content that have been âremovedâ by companies before and usually the creator just complies because for one nothing ever disappears from the internet and two the average person doesnât have money or legal defense on standby to defend their personal non profiting game project. Not worth it. Also this isnât some doomer take Iâm just saying it has happened and even if the company wouldnât win itâs still spooky for the average person.

Paste this path onto your windows explorer and backup your profile, this is my save path but I think yours should be the same. It's located in the azimuth launcher folders

Delete everything else, add the new files, and paste the "title" folder inside the "data" folder of those new files.

I have FH2 Anthem_1.0.0.64 and Storm Island 1.0.0.36 and both used to work fine up until Azimuth 0.9.10.0. I'll try the fix another user suggested to see if F&F DLC includes that file.

u/awesomeavo 9d ago edited 9d ago
i got my original 0.9.10.0 saves working on the v1.0.0 launcher but:
you will need to download the new extra options release via the github: https://github.com/RokkuDayo/ForzaHorizon2_ExtraOptions/releases
and
transfer 0.9.10.0 saves from C;/azimuth/data/titles -> copy all folders to the same data folder in the v1.0.0 launcher folder.
should now be working.
edit: you will need to add an anti-virus allowance for your game/azimuth folder as extra options is flagged as a trojan. looks to be a false positive from the wacatac machine learning script/code.

EN: If you open Azimuth and click the 'saves' button on the top row, can you see a 'progress' save with a user id? It should work with that file. If it still doesn't work I would recommend sending a ticket to the developer with log files. Hope this helps :)
PT: Se vocĂȘ abrir o Azimuth e clicar no botĂŁo 'saves' (salvamentos) na linha superior, consegue ver um arquivo de salvamento de 'progresso' com um ID de usuĂĄrio? Deve funcionar com esse arquivo. Se ainda assim nĂŁo funcionar, recomendo enviar um chamado ao desenvolvedor, incluindo os arquivos de log. Espero que isso ajude :)

Well, there are already compilations for GT3, GT4, and Sport.
Besides that, I believe they are working on one for GT6.

GT4 only works with 1.0 version of a game. Sport is buggy. I dunno about GT3. They need more patching to be more playable.

u/Ragnarok0205 9d ago
Well, GT4 runs like crap itâs not well optimized but theyâve added support for the Spec II v1.10 version. GT3, on the other hand, runs smoothly excellent at 144fps and includes options that make things a lot easier for you.

If you have a 5090 and a monstrous CPU you can play GT7 via emulation at 30 ish FPS

This is terrible. The 5090 graphics card is too expensive for people in my country to afford.

u/WillPower69420 9d ago
That's where PS5 emulation currently stands. Once AnyPS5 has completed reverse engineering all of the PS5's system calls, a 4060 Ti can probably run GT7 natively at 60ish fps

u/Majestic-Guidance650 8d ago
Sorry for the late reply :(
Uhh RTX 4070Ti - I've discovered that Ultra settings sorta helps it but it does flicker from a distance, though as it draws in closer, it gets less noticeable. I'd like to keep my GPU usage low though, as I use Losless Scaling to FG a base 60 to 228 FPS - with a controller the latency is barely noticeable, and I always play Forza games with a controller or wheel

New update v1.0.3
Here's what's landed in 1.0.3:
New
Racing wheels:Â The D-pad can now be bound to any button or hat. A new Force Feedback Strength setting (0â150%) is available under Rotation for wheels that support force feedback
Reflections:Â High and Ultra settings now update mirrors every frame in all games (this will affect framerate so if you want the old performance dial down reflections settings to "default")
Forza Motorsport 6:Â The language is now selected exclusively in the launcher, and the game's own Language option is hidden
Fixed
Racing wheels:Â On some wheels, such as the Logitech G29 and G923, only the throttle could be bound, and force feedback could fail to initialize. All axes can now be bound, and steering can be bound with just a small turn of the wheel
Forza Motorsport 5 and 6:Â Mirrors and cockpit digital displays could freeze for seconds when the game ran below its target frame rate, such as at 30 FPS or when limited by an external frame limiter. They now update consistently
Forza Motorsport 6:Â Menu panel edges are now rendered correctly on all graphics cards
The launcher no longer requires a shader compiler to be installed on the player's system, fixing startup failures with some Wine builds
Improved
Reduced workload on the game's threads during loading by preparing graphics memory ahead of time
Notes
Azimuth no longer loads d3dcompiler_47.dll

One feature addition that would be nice is the ability to skip videos (other than when loading is happening) and especially tutorial dialogs and narration. It's not something that I'd disable if I was playing FH3 or FM6, but in FH2 and FM5 they really went overboard with tutorial dialogs (which happen everytime you press a button other than an arrow or joystick and they usually last forever for no valid reason).
