In the other hand, a Reddit user found out the cause of the stuttering on PC version.Last month, it was revealed that Windows 10 would get a more secure encrypted appx format. And it appears that the first games protected by this new encryption tech are already available on Windows Store as both Halo 5: Forge and Forza Horizon 3 use it.
But lets take things from the beginning. Via this new secure encrypted appx format, when the user installs an application from the Windows Store, it will get encrypted on-the-fly using the Encrypting File System feature of Windows.
Once encrypted, these application files will not be accessible for modification even if full access permissions are granted.
This basically means that PC gamers wont be able to mod the games at all. For example, modding Forza 6: APEXs weather was really simple via XML files. This modification, however, wont work in Forza Horizon 3 due to this new encryption tech.
The good news at least for developers is that via this new tech, developers are now protected against applications getting decompiled and against piracy.
Way to go to show your dedicated support for PC gaming, Microsoft. /shrugThe reason of those stutters is the fact that the game uses EFS which consumes a lot of CPU.
Update: Maybe it's not related, maybe it is, time will tell. From a Turn10 Community Manager:
We are aware of in-game stuttering issues that have been reported by the community on certain configurations on PC. We have some performance improvements coming in the next update, but in the meantime if you're having problems we would recommend to try to allow the game to set the default video settings to see if it improves your experience for now.
To go to default settings, press Y on the video options screen then save.
