So with maximum prerended frames to 1:

I know is not the same conditions but it stayed around that the whole time.

It's true that in terms of input lag it feels slightly better but it might just be placebo, can't tell.

Either way this update is amazing it was running around 65 fps before at 1440p with drops to 55-60.

@HeliosT10 Amazing job, hats off.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Oh ignore me then lol.



T10 or PG?

Oops. PG. I'm usually a stickler for that kind of thing too.

 

[icecold1983]

Is there an active online pc community or crossplay with xbone?

 

[Dinjoralo]

Iiiiiii might actually pick this up. Wasn't expecting them to seriously fix the performance. Like, I heard the update was gonna address performance, but I expected it to be a negligible difference. Wow.

 

[Apoleptica]

Is there an active online pc community or crossplay with xbone?

There's cross play with Xbox one, the multiplayer is quite active.

 

[HeliosT10]

@HeliosT10 Amazing job, hats off.

Am very happy to see it seems that the majority are seeing an improvement, no need to direct thanks to myself but I'll be sure to pass on the feedback that the update has received so far to the team involved in its creation.

If it's worth anything for you and the rest of the team, I'm buying Blizzard Mountain and Hot Wheels. That's something I was not considering before because I wasn't happy with the performance.

I hope PG will aim for this kind of performance for day 1 next time

 

[JordanKZ]

This patch has gotta be done of the biggest improvements I've seen in a game, ever. Amazing work by the FH team.

That makes the two of us. That includes the Porsche DLC.

This makes Hot Wheels a for sure pickup now. This is tremendous post launch support and makes me a much happier customer who will now gladly buy the DLC.

 

[Cjdamon042]

Why is the Store taking ages to download the updaaaaate.... *cries*

Glad it seems to be having a positive effect on performance for people, that's great!

EDIT: I'm having to keep pausing and resuming the download for some reason. Like after a while the download speed just vanishes and it does nothing until I pause and resume it, only for it to do it again. Weird.

 

[Stall19]

You can add me to the list of people amazed at the performance boost. It's like night and day. Feels so good now.

 

[Mohasus]

I can't believe they actually delivered. Kudos T10 and PG!

Specs: 7700 + GTX 970 @1478MHz, 1440p display
Dynamic High Settings works pretty well except for surfer's paradise, where I'm bottlenecked by the GPU, 55-60 FPS.
Dropping MSAA to 0x and disabling dynamic optimization in the process locks the FPS to 60.
Wish I could use dynamic settings without MSAA.

 

[stoke1863]

the game is glourious now, no hitching and i can now play at a fidelity that looks stunning.

Lets hope the work PG and T10 has done has given them a better understanding of how the PC and UWP work, future is looking bright for Forza 7

guys why didnt you add a single toggle for the "Low video memory" pop-up

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Hot Wheels and fixed performance? I wish I still had this now

 

[Pakoe]

Did it finally happen? Oh god, I have to buy the game again.
Gonna test the demo, and buy the ultimate edition again.

Demo will be a few weeks from getting an update.

I hope Digital Foundry pick this back up and do a follow-up video with the improvements.

 

[| Praxis |]

Guess I will download it again. It will be nice to play at 4K with 60fps instead of 30.

 

[ISee]

Game performs surprisingly well @ 4k and ultra settings on my GTX 1080. It's mostly 60fps, with some drops to the low 50s. Not optimal but I just wanted to give it a try. 4k/60 should definitely be possible with slightly less high settings or on a 1080Ti.

It's also such a beautiful game and this DLC is a lot of fun. Well done!

(still in processing, 4k/60 should be available soon. Recorded with Geforce Experience.)

I feel you mate. I refunded due to the PC performance way back when.

Now it would be around $90 bucks I think to pick it up?... I can't believe it hasn't had a price reduction after all this time... I just bought Prey the other day (Used lot's of my bing reward points) and am strapped for cash atm since we are trying to move to a different house since we discovered mold while cleaning out the basement of my recently deceased grandparents whom we where living with to take care of. We tested it and it's the really bad kind and is the reason for our health issues that have been showing up including my pancreatitis a couple months ago.

Hopefully a sale comes soon.

This patch has literally doubled my framerate in certain patches if not more, as now it's using 99%-100% of my gpu at all times when the gpu usage before was massively inconsistent. Now playing at above 70fps 99% of the time, above 80fps 50% of the time. Wonderful!

 

[Pakoe]

i7-920 here at 4ghz. I've just played a quick session to try things out and I'm getting 60fps locked at 1440p (with a GTX 1070). It'd drop to 45-50 at 1080p before; so yeah big improvement even on an old ass CPU like mine!

Thanks for this. I'm also on an i7-920.
What about the stuttering?

 

[DarkestHour]

Stutters are gone and graphics seem way better. Awesome!!

 

[TheBear]

Has the full screen bug been fixed?

 

[Robobandit]

Has the full screen bug been fixed?

yes

 

[AsakuraZ]

The game looks like its running a lot better now. I tried out my DFGT wheel and its not working as intended it seems. I haven't used this wheel in a while but during the game after speeding up, it just starts turning its own and its almost impossible to keep the car straight on the road. I might mess with the wheel settings but if that doesn't fix it, I guess i'll go back to controller.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I would love to redownload this and try it out but the Windows Store has other plans as I keep getting errors, oh well.

 

[TheBear]

yes

huzzah!

 

[Hux1ey]

Finally downloaded the patch.

The performance is definitely improved quite bit FPS wise BUT, the micro stutter is still there.

Running g-sync ranging from 70-80fps, is this a problem with this game and g-sync? How are you guys with locking to 60hz finding the stuttering?

 

[Enclose]

Game looks very bad at full maxed out 1080P. Shame, because the Performance is awesome after the Patch.

 

[dsk1210]

Did anybody else get banned from online play a while ago?

I got banned with no explanation and can not even find a way to appeal or contact anyone about it.

I dont cheat and the only thing I can think is that it picked up afterburner/riva tuner.

 

[stoke1863]

really?

I think it looks stunning, I had a bug once when it looked like ass and i had to restart it.

Anyone with i5-3570, gtx 970 and 8gb ram (especially)?

I'm not seeing any microstutter here with the fps unlocked. It's pretty much silky smooth and perfect for me now. I have gsync as well.

What I was doing before was locking it to 55fps(165hz) since anything over that would stutter. It was smooth for me like that with gsync. Now, I can run it unlocked and I don't get any stutter.

I'm actually incredibly surprised by that.

Of course, I'll have to put it through it's paces in a bunch of different races, but every immediate problem area has been perfect so far!

Joke? How could xbox people be happy if 1080p maxed looks bad

There seems to be a conflict with blizzard mountain in the game, causing crashes. Based on some reports from the forza subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/forza/comments/6a7okj/psa_if_your_fh3_game_is_crashing_after_the_update/

Anyone here have issues with blizzard mountain after the new update and expansion?

Damn this sucks, yeah I haven't been able to try the game after th e update yet, it just crashes. Guess I'll try to uninstall Blizzard mountain.

Just uninstalled Blizzard Mountain and now the game doesn't crash.

I don't know what I'm doing differently, this is the only game I have this problem with too.

Just uninstalled Blizzard Mountain and now the game doesn't crash.

I had the crash and did a UWP app reset, which effectively uninstalled the expansions (without removing them from my HDD).
No longer crashed after that.
Reinstalled both Hot Wheels and Blizzard Mountain (it was pretty instant since they were still on my HDD), and played a bit with no issues.
But now that I try and travel to Blizzard Mountain, it gets stuck in an infinite load.

Something's definitely F'd with Blizzard Mountain.

Edit:

I have a different issue. I can't enter Blizzard Mountain now after the update, it just stays at the loading screen forever.

'Sup!

It is recommended for variable framerates.

Recommended by who?

 

[AsakuraZ]

Fiddled around with the wheel settings, seems a lot better now. I think I was being a harsh critic on the handling since the last time I used the wheel was on Gran Turismo 6, and the physics/handling are fairly different in comparison to FH3.

All and all, the game is running 70-80fps for me, and I haven't gotten a crash back to desktop after playing over 30 minutes, so that's a definite plus for me. Fairly excited I can clear this game over the Summer and work on the dlc later. Feels good to play a racing game with a wheel again!

 

[stoke1863]

It says in the game options

 

[lazerfox]

Forgot how much fun this game is!

Just bought a 4k TV and I can run Forza now in 4k 60FPS on high settings.
Running on i7-4770k and GTX 1070

Great patch. I'm considering getting the Expansion Pass now.

Game doesn't after the patch, not sure why.

Is the Creative Update required now?

I didn't upgrade to creators and it worked for me.

 

[Diablohead]

Really good to hear that performance is up, lets hope this continues into other forza pc titles.
