Forza Horizon 4 Catch-All

Ok, so quick update. I tried pretty much everything on the support forums and eventually conceded I'd have to uninstall and reinstall. Another 64GB download and on my connection, that takes about a day. It actually worked.

That managed to fix whatever the issue was. Or maybe that and a combo of other things. In any case, appreciate the help fellas and happy to be racing again. If the game wasn't so good, I wouldn't try, but the Horizon series is just too much fun!

Turns out if you ebrake backwards over the finish line the post-race splash screen shows you sitting backwards.

If anyone's looking to add friends then try BismarckMaybe.

I am also looking for friends. I am StancedBronco, friend me up!

and I'm Moggy123456789

Just set up a Club: GWJ Forza4

Invited a bunch. If you didn’t see the invite, let me know.

Will have the game Tuesday. Will definitely want in once I get clubs opened.

Because Moggy123456788 was taken, of course.

BTW, today I casted some awesome Mixer streams of me making some insane jumps to get influence boards, and Mixer didn't save them, so now I can't prove how awesome I am at taking ten minutes to line up a jump and finally hitting it and landing my car upside-down.

Mixer stream quality is sh*t, but hey, free influence.

Really? Because in my experience, one clear advantage Mixer has is stream quality. For me, it's not even close. But there is also far fewer people streaming. Bit for E3 and such, Mixer was fantastic.

And, man, I'm jonesing to join the fun.

Picked up the fancy pants version, I am (shock) LupusUmbrus on there.

Maybe only the saved stream quality is garbage, or maybe I need to configure something.

Done. Just need BadKen to accept my friend request and I can send the club invite. Not a big fan of the UI for this club management.

So I played some Unlimited Adventure tonight. As an aside, I suck. Dead last in just about every race. Not quite sure WTF was with the last adventure which was hyper cars on dirt. Talk about uncontrollable BS! Anyhoo, couldn't see any way of quitting between adventures without disconnecting.

Hm, the xbox app says I'm friends with Mister Static and I couldn't find any way to check friends in FH4. Did you invite BadKen rather than badkenbad? I can never seem to get BadKen as an online handle, so nearly all of mine are badkenbad.

I requested an invite to the club through the game, but who knows if that's working properly. I'm Strange Colors on XBox - friend me up as needed!

I think I figured it out. Old man UI issues:-)

Mixer's stream quality is also absolute garbage for me.

Ill definitely join the group as having great fun with this (apart from losing every race in the family SUV class - clearly need to tweak these more to be competitive).

LondonLoo on Xbox and have requested an invite

My name is WembleyGWJ. Would love a group invite. I haven't unlocked groups yet, though, I don't think. Should that matter?

I'm divorced7times

I haven't really invested anytime in figuring out the way this game's online component works but I am absolutly delighted to have my drivatar list's filled with Goodjers.

So, what exactly is a convoy and how do they work?

What I've heard is that everything you can do in the game, you can also do co-op. So you share points when you're just out running around in the world doing stunts, somehow you share points from races (and get credit for finishing them, if you place), and so on. The game also has a few specific activities that require two 6-player groups, too.

I don't know all the details, but somewhere in the game's menus, it's probably all explained. When I graduated into the "real" game, the Horizon lady explained everything in detail very rapidly, so of course I have forgotten all of it.

Out of curiosity, what is this club tag supposed to be?

I'm not a fan of having to run around with that attached to my name.

I was afraid I was the only one seeing that! Something seems bugged because sometimes I'll see GWJ, and other times the odd characters show up instead.

Hm, maybe it's just an Xbox Live glitch...

wow, restarting my PC fixed it (at least for now).

Members can invite now as well. Not sure about the tag glitch; I see it about half the time that way.

Still can’t figure out the difference between Teams and Clubs. Looks like we will need to have both. BadKen and I tried out some of the coop yesterday. Looks like it could be fun if we get more folks on there.

In FH2 I played quite a bit of the multiplayer with some folks from another forum. It’s kind of awesome.

You essentially have a party, and you all vote on the type of race or games you want. Then you race to the starting point, earning along the way. There are four races or games, and at the end of each one you all race to the next setting point. You earn points based on both those races to starting points and how you place. After the four races, everyone votes again.

If you have a good group, it is fantastic.

I'm cube135

So I had about five GWJ'ers drop into my Forza world tonight, but I couldn't see how to do anything except set a point on the map for us to all race to, which then turned into a follow-Lupus-fest because he appears to have a UPS van with two Saturn V rockets strapped to it.

I also played around with the Blueprint system a bit and I'm sad it's not quite what I hoped. I thought we'd be able to set our own checkpoints, but instead you use an existing event exactly as-is and then just change the season and available cars.

I still set up some fun with the Classic Rally Cars, but I was hoping to be able to build a set of rally stages exactly how I wanted them.

A "route creator" for creating your own races from scratch is coming in an October update. Did you check "create your own adventure" for doing stuff with your group?

I did not! Looking at the UI and how little explanation there is it feels like they expect everyone to know everything already. If you're new to the game then you have to break out Google to work out what anything does.

For example, I got an in-game mail about how someone was going to handle all the money I make from my business. Which leads to many questions, the first of which is "What? What business?"
