Forza Motorsport 7 demo is now live for Xbox One and W10

A few posts up - it works on latest Windows Insider release of Windows 10.
Just played it on Windows 10.
3570k (not overclocked)
GTX 1060 6GB (a tiny bit overclocked)
Runs absolutely beautifully. 1080p, 60fps, I put everything on max except for reflections (those gave issues during Horizon 3, so I figured I would turn them to Medium).
Outrun the Storm is the highlight of the demo, such a great time. The sound design is insanity when wearing headphones, there's the pounding rain, the thunder, the helicopters above, and the great engine sounds. I had a minor stutter for a few seconds on the Dubai track.
Can't wait to play it fully after I get my Ryzen build at the end of the year.

I use a program called ShareX all the time, it only works for desktop/borderless window games. It will take lossless pictures and upload them to a website automatically if you set it up that way.
Can't you just push Printscreen and have a full res png saved to OneDrive automatically?

Played a Porsche race and a Truck race, impressed.
Like it a lot.

Greenshot works with windows store games. It's a screenshot app like fraps but free.
Yeah, that's exactly how it works. You get the local copy, and if you have the option chosen, it'll automatically batch them to Onedrive when you close out.
check if your xbox live services are enabled.

Hey hey, my shifter works in a Forza on PC 
the cars don't handle like they should at all, if you go slightly over the limit on sim steering and FFB is still not true self-aligning based. No FOV options on PC... I'm out.
But good that they put out a demo on PC. Looked great and ran fantastic too on my GTX 970 @1080p

Probably a dumb question, but the demo doesn't have online features does it?

Do we know the exact differences between the Xbox One and One X versions yet?
Aside from One X being native 4K. What else?

PC performance is phenomenal. It's official, a single 980Ti can run this game in 4K maxed out.
Pro tip: if you experience weirdly low GPU usage and stutters you need to add Forza 7 to Nvidia CP and set power mode to "prefer max performance"

Thanks for saving my bandwidth. I thought I read that they had a new FFB/Wheel guy working on things. Wonder what he's been doing.
edit: Did a bit of reading on GTPlanet and it sounds like there are still CPU optimization issues just like in Apex and FH3.

WTF does this not show on the UK Windows store app? I had to click a link here to get it down download. Angry face.

Only if you have it running. With anything with default DS4 support turn it off.
Their Store is horrendous to navigate and find things in. Truly appalling.

As much as I want to play on the 29th part of me wants to wait until the Scorpio releases but thats so long away.
God damn it.
God damn it.
There was an interview talking about different levels of detail in reflections, in terms of cube-maps, but I've forgotten the specifics.

Still lower. Someone said Forza M 7 is magic, technically. They're right.

Downloading now. I can already hear my laptop crying.
Does it feel as bad as 6 did with a wheel? I had to stop playing because the driving over the limit felt awful and the FFB sucked.Hey hey, my shifter works in a Forza on PC

Demo is running solid so far for me.

Ah ok. Because with that much extra power that One X offers you'd think the differences should be quite clear. Wonder if they will have a mode for checkerboard 4K as well with extra graphical bells and whistles.

Can't believe how well this runs on PC.
All setting maxed, 1440p, 8x MSAA

They can't do anything without leaving Xinput behind and going to motherboard USB TouchSense API. And since it will never happen, I guess they will forever do emulation.
You have to enable HDR in the windows settings.
I also had to disable the Nvidia display settings first.
HDR on the Dubai track is nice.
I have many LOD popins from other cars, hope this gets fixed in the final version.
The main menu is a bit laggy and the GPU usage goes to 99-100%, also in the Pit before the start.
Everything is fine during the race. 75 - 90% GPU Usage.
4K everything ultra/high 60 FPS V-Sync.
i7 6700K OC
GTX 1070 OC
Need to test my TX Wheel tommorrow.
Oh and for the Cointroller drivers:
Set the Deadzones in the setting right, I think they are set too high.
I have gas, break, steering 0-100.
I am ready for the 29th =D

Crap
I was looking forward to playing it with my new G29. Just played two races with the Porsche on mostly Sim settings and I kept sliding around the track like a piece of soap in a prison shower

How were you able to unlock the framerate?? There is no option for that.

Try typing Forza Motorsport next time.

Man I'm surprised even at 8x MSAA the game runs a flawless 60fps at 1440p on a 980ti

Loving the new handling a lot.
Game runs fantastically. According to the benchmark my average framerate was 58fps fully maxed at 4k with 8xmsaa (not that I'll ever run that as it's not needed) but that's a good start.
Didn't notice any drops or stutters. 6700k 1070

Uhm, yea. It did feel better than Apex and FH3. But you can feel that it's Forza and that they don't take the FFB from an actually modeled suspension geometry with caster and kingpin correct. steering ratio and linearity also seemed incorrect, but I couldn't be bothered to try the other 2 cars. But you can be sure this FFB is baked from some telemetry and tire values.
I could feel a bit more suspension movement and tire load, but even if the FFB would have felt fantastic, you still can't drive a car on sim steering as you should be. On a controller you can't achieve these vastly different steering accelerations and unideal angles at certain speeds and that is what this game was made and tested for. I'm sure it plays great on controller and normal steering, but with a wheel it doesn't drive like a sim and definitely not like a real car.

Not seeing much of a graphical difference between the demo and the x1x footage we've seen bar a higher resolution.

To be fair it shouldn't have to be that way.

Well that's disappointing. I'll probably wait for a sale then. Or just not get it at all and focus on the other 12 racing games that are out. I couldn't stand the wheel support in F6 so it sucks to hear it's not improved.

Mine are and I'm having the exact same issue. Game just crashes. Already redownloaded. FH3 and Apex work perfectly fine.
Also overlays. That is probably my issue.
idk. I'd try asking on their help forums. https://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_topics103_Technical-Support-and-Help.aspx
Yep. Saw someone mention that on reddit, also someone had an issue with nvidia share / rivatuner

Mine is crashing too.
When the game starts in window mode try to press ALT+ ENTER before its fully loaded, so you put the game in fullscreen mode yourself.
Helped me.
Or fiddling around with the window size and then press alt+enter.
Strange problem with a strange fixing...

It doesn't play that great on controller, it feels odd, the steering feels all spongy it's like the stick is connected to the steering with bungee cords, really muted and a bit....dead?

and this
See how the faulting DLL is TargetHardwareProfiler? I believe it is trying to do a hardware check and crashing because the one time I got the game to go in to the main settings it couldn't recognize any of my GPU hardware.
I also installed it to E: so why the fk is it on C:?
