Hmm, well it booted after I disabled the microphone and did this..
Found a solution for crashing on turn 10 transition screen on startup
1.Navigate under your profile to
C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.OpusPG_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState\scratch
2. Create a new folder
3. Move all the files *except the folders into the new folder
4. Click yes if prompted "may be harmful" which some antivirus will state
5. Start the game.
6. The THPSystemRequirementReport will regenerate
We'll see if it plays now while in the game.
I had constant startup crashes. Don't disable your antivirus, uninstall it. Was able to start, afterwards.
Have gpu-z monitor vram use, you might be hitting more than 3.5gb

is your cpu overclocked? if not, overclock it as high as you can

especially if they have bandwidth caps..
I could see them re-balancing the amount of money you get for selling duplicate HE cars you win via wheelspins before actually fixing the game.

It's a work laptop, so I can't think of a good excuse why I uninstalled the AV software, lol.
Well when you think about it, these sorts of small fixes take someone about a day to do and another day to to test and go through QA.
The sort of fixes needed to cure stuttering are perhaps weeks worth of work no reason to hold up smaller bugfixes waiting for the big one.
You can put Avast in Passive mode and the game will start up.

Just had 5 startup crashes in a row after playing it just last night for hours without problem...yeah I'm fucking done.
See you in a few weeks after some heavy heavy patches (hopefully). I really want to love this game, why must it be so hard ;/

The antivirus on my laptop is ESET NOD32 Antivirus 9.

Is this for real? If so do they have a timeline for a performance patch?
These days I'd believe it
Not real.
Oh right on, thanks for the heads up.
Thank you!! Just wanted to report back that this worked for me! Anniversary update installed successfully and downloading FH3 now. Bracing myself for the unoptimized clusterfuck.

Apart from just not working as it should there seems to be an issue pulling the data from memory and displaying it. Whatever is being done requires a large amount of either CPU or memory to get it to work. That or it was designed to run at 30fps which I don't think is the case because the frames drop down to single figures. I wonder how it is on the console version.

So I'm getting surprisingly good results with a GTX 970 at 1440p. I'm hovering in the 35-46fps range with everything on high and 4xmsaa. FPS smoothing and dynamic settings both off. Just need to have the stuttering fixed now.
Specs:
Intel Xeon x5650 @ 3.6ghz
GTX 970
24 GB RAM
My Xeon has 12 threads going, I wonder if that makes the stuttering better or worse with this game lol

You might as well just lock it to 30fps instead.

This is my first Forza game. I just booted it up and was running smoothly (55-60 fps, 1440p, Ultra preset) but it crashed after 20 minutes. Can't remember the last game I played that did that.

I have a 144hz monitor so the game gives me 36 and 48 fps lock options. The game stays in the 40s enough for me to keep the limit at 48. Surfers Paradise brings me down to 25 though

I think it's just a bug. Someone mentioned before to keep the Xbox app open and that should fix it. Of course it didn't...
A while ago achievements were screwing up some games (causing a stutter IIRC) so I disabled them in the Notifications and Action Settings section (the one in Windows, not the Xbox App). So make sure it's on in that section too, you might have turned it off in the past and forgotten like I did.
You can always set the refresh rate down to 120, then cap the in-game framerate to 30, 40, or 60. This is what I do and it works great.
Bah, dang. Well, I'll try that I guess.
Everything is enabled, both in the xbox app and windows. Haven't seen one yet. Granted, I haven't had the Xbox app open.
also...jesus, this game looks so damn good. Took this on the way to a race:
upon seeing this screenshot, it also looks like FPS counter shows up even when they're taking using the photo tool. Huh.

Yup.
There's a patch today so hopefully everything wrong will be righted, or at least a little bit.

currently yes. Drone mode takes better shots atm for PC users.
Quoting from the OT.
It kinda works for me. Still not perfect but perfectly usable (see the photo thread).

I had the same issue it was because I had used a tweak to turn of windows telemetry without it achievements don't work

Sorry, but how do you start in fullscreen mode?
Edit: Is anyone else having the text in game being super jaggy? I can't even see most drivertars names from a distance, its blurry and jaggy. FXAA is off.
Is there away to remove the input lag at capped 30fps?
Thanks all
That's strange, have you tweaked the game with task manager?.
With my brothers PC (GTX 1080 - i7 4770K) the game runs on ultra settings MSAAx8 at 4K between an average of 45fps, some areas at 55-60fps and other rare intensive areas at 35fps.
No stuttering at all, but again...tweaking the game on task manager every time we run it.
I mean, the game runs like crap in modest hardwares but this performance at 4K with a single 1080 for me is ok.
How do you force it to start in fullscreen/1080p? Mine always starts with a small window, then later on switched to fullscreen. I would love to have a "working" photo mode on PC...
I'm basically spamming Alt + Enter so that it goes fullscreen as soon as possible. Preferably before the logos. I'm running the drivers from last month and I've got an "error" message each time I'm launching the game, saying that I don't have the latest drivers and if I want to continue or quit. It stays like this indefinitely and I've got plenty of time to go fullscreen lol.
Alright, thanks! I'll try it out
I also found out about using that Sizer software to help you set the window size to exactly 1080p. Wonder if after a patch we'll be able to take photos running 4k resolution, then downscaling them to 1080p. That would result in nice IQ.Alright, thanks! I'll try it out
I'm running 4K and taking the screenshots with the Windows 10 GameDVR. But yeah, a downsampling tool would be better.

I'm downloading the game right now, but what exactly is the issue with the game's built in photo mode?
RamaTheVoice

From what I gather unless you do some tweaking photo mode renders at a lower resolution than gameplay.

I feel like my performance on PC is getting worse. I played before launch with the Ultimate Edition and it was largely fine, but now I am getting major stuttering pretty consistently and the screen tearing has really gone up as well

im pretty sure they wont have actually have fixed anything in such a short time. its quite clear the pc port is going to require a lot of work to fix. i wouldnt be surprised if its never actually happens

I agree. It has numerous performance issues and fixes for stuttering in openworld games don't exactly have a stellar track record so far.
O/T - God damn it, I can't even download Netflix from the Win store now. It downloads a meg or so and then errors out. Any tips for fixing screwed up store downloads?
Well Arstechnica did have a bit on a spin-off article from their review saying that the dev team were aware of stuttering and had a fix coming.

How do you disable audio in this game? There is no option ingame, you can only set all the audio sliders to 1, which is still too loud.
In Windows the game doesn't appear in the sound manager
Probably because of its UWP nature. It was only April this year that you were able to control volume for individual UWP programmes. It seems the feature is still being developed and not all applications are supported yet. This is a post from an MS developer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/...0_build_14316_you_can_now_control_uwp/d21abp8
Basically because UWP applications don't really close, you would see every UWP programme you'd ever run in the volume mixer, so they just hid all UWP apps from the mixer and shipped like that (lol). Now they're getting around to making it actually usable. Enjoy your experience beta testing for Microsoft. Upvote the feature request on Windows Feedback Hub!
