I'm not looking forward to Tuesday.
Only played a little so far, it's stayed pretty solid at 60 FPS for me--though I haven't gotten into a city yet or anything. Playing in 1080p, with FPS set to 60 and the dynamic render quality on high (tried ultra and it dips down into the 45-50 range). I haven't messed with the settings in advance since it's running well as is, and I'm not much of tweaker.
GTX970, i7-4790k 4.0 ghz, 16gb RAM.
So the 60FPS dream for Horizon is already dead? Come on Playground!

I remember someone here mentioned that the store downloaded both on the OS drive and the drive you specified it to download to. I can currently see 2 19gb both on my OS and F drive. Does it really keep 2 as I only have about 38gb left on my OS drive.
I tried locking it to 30fps on PC but it didn't feel nearly as good as Xbox version (which runs at 30fps). Is it just me or is something actually going on there?
I dont know, Apex was a shit show when it launched and is really good now.
some devs do extra work to lower input lag on console games whereas that work might not be done on the pc version where input lag is only a factor of fps
I think the only modern game I've played on PC where 30fps felt as responsive as it does on console was Witcher 3, which I think might have baked-in 30fps techniques to manage frame pacing and input response.
Horizon 3 hasn't been very successful for me and the 30fps lock. The 30fps counter never ever moves from the 30fps target, but the controls feel significantly more sluggish than my XB1 download with and without vsync.
In the past, I tried to limit Just Cause 3 and GTAV (on my old, less-powerful desktop PC) to 30fps thru various means, either by forcing 30Hz refresh rate on my display, using a third party client to restrict FPS limit to 30, a combination of both, and it never ever felt as smooth. Without some really good motion blur (which Horizon 3 does have) to help bleed the lower amount of frames together a bit more smoothly, it also looks really bad to the eyes to me as well at 30fps.
So yeah, 30fps lock on Horizon 3 doesn't feel great to me, either. It's more playable than my 60fps->45fps stutters but noticeably worse than playing on XB1.

Agreed, it definitely is.Witcher 3 felt terrible at 30fps on PC.
Lol , its amazing , i have the same fps in 2560x1440 and 3300 x1660 ( approximative its dsr ) lol ...
playing witcher 3 at 30 FPS literally made me go on Amazon and buy a 970.
i know that feel.

Yea. It's weird how lowering res doesn't really bring an fps boost.
Not at all. Not with frametimes like these:

What are you talking about? How was it any different that playing any other game at 30fps?
Not really, it probably means the game is CPU limited. Resolution wouldn't matter if that's the case.
Input lag. 30fps on console almost always feels better than forcing it on PC.
Yeah, you'll want an OC as surfers paradise peaks out my CPU, 2500K@4.1Noooooooo
Not what I want to hear. I have that exact system (minus the CPU overclock)

Actually, no, it's not a given. The game may be limited by something else completely like the PCIE bandwidth for example. We need proper benchmarks.Well yea that's a given.
But I'd describe that as weird since it's not that common from my personal experience playing pc games. "Weird" probably just wasn't the right word to describe it universally.
Anyone know how to wipe single player progress and restart? I tried the method posted earlier in this thread (reset via apps & features > Forza Horizon 3 > Advanced > Reset) and that cleared my settings etc, but didn't touch my save file. I just continued where I already was.
There must be a way to restart the single player mode no?
Ok, hold on to your butts. Here's how I did it:
-Reset the Windows 10 game like you say in your post.
-Went to my Xbone and downloaded the game until it said "Playable". Started the game once.
-Went to Manage Game->Saves and chose Delete Everywhere,
-Booted the game on Win 10, tada, fresh start.
As far as I know, there's no way to manage the cloud saves on Windows 10. So if you don't have a Xbox, I really don't know.
MS PC Gaming focus keeps delivering.
Okay, I am heading upstairs in like 5 minutes so apologies for posting again, but I got no reply yet so started reading through the thread and I am even more confused. I have read people saying enable this Max Performance Setting. Other's saying to disable it?
So would love to know which one is it and just a confirmation as to where it is?
Any help truly appreciated.
Tried Forza Apex before deciding if I should dive in this and I thought that was decent, did the first races with everything on Dynamic except for AF. No noticeable stuttering, W10 anniversary, latest Nvidia drivers (372), power/performance mode.
That's free though, this is 99.99 , kinda hard to take a leap of faith for this price.
I wish more PC racing games had decent presentation like this (menus, etc, not graphics).
You have lived up to your username my friend.nVidia Control Panel (right click on your desktop if you have nVidia drivers) -> Manage 3D settings -> Power management mode -> Select "Prefer maximum performance" from drop down menu -> Hit apply in the bottom right -- it might take a second for it to apply, but once you're done, that's basically it.

This is all I was looking for.
Thank you as it was pretty much unplayable for me this morning.
If I post again shortly in this thread, it is safe to say it did not work. If I do not post the rest of the night, it is probably safe to say it did work.
So I just did it. Fingers crossed it makes a difference.
Long as I can play in 4k at 30fps min I am happy. How does this run on a 980ti?
Yeah, while it no doubt helped tremendously, there are still plenty of performance issues like you said.I still get wildly inconsistent performance. Enabled it prior to even playing.

Never-mind the fact it still does not recognize all the DLC including the most important one of VIP.
I just banked up 4 wheel spins for tomorrow when I play on the One again.
So again, thank you. At least it is somewhat playable now, but it still has a long way to go.
Really hope they sort it out soon as come next week being able to playing primarily on the PC is going to be massive for myself.
I have a rare weekend where I can play the One to my hearts content as my wife has an important exam to study for that she takes on Monday.
After that it is back to normal so the option to play on the PC means more opportunities for myself to get some playing time period.
So I do hope they release a patch sooner rather than later.
Thanks again as it no doubt helped some.
I mean, how did you expect them to communicate with Microsoft servers? I guess they could create an extra, special games-only communication service, but that's kind of silly. Obviously a Microsoft product is going to use existing Microsoft services. There's really good reasons for that, like getting what should be a more polished, stable protocol.So I wasn't receiving achievements for the first 10 hours or so I was playing. I realized it was cause I had blocked W10's telemetry services, and re-enabling them fixed it. I still blocked all the ones that I could, but that's kinda lame.
I was able to pop some achievements that I should have gotten, but others I cannot. Such as the one for unlocking your fourth radio station (I have them all) and basically doing the first mission. Is there a way to have a second save file so I could start over and get those and then go back to my original save? Or just another way for those first achievements to pop?
