Forza Horizon 3 PC Performance Thread

I got access to the ultimate edition cars by logging out of the windows store and then logging back in. Next time I launched the game it gave me the loyalty cars I was eligible for and I am able to purchase the VIP cars through the auto show under DLC cars. I'm not sure how to tell if any of the other stuff is working.

Delete the save folder thats at the above location.
Launch the game, just before it hits the main menu, disconnect from the internet. It will start a new save. Play for a bit, beat the intro races and get to the point where you can exit the game from the pause menu.
Connect back to the internet and launch the game again. At the main menu it will ask whether you want to use the local save (new) or the cloud save (old). Obviously select the new save and you're sweet

Well, for now you have the privilege of paying more.
So theres no way to delete the cloud saves then??....that needs to be added to the Windows 10 Store then!!
Try this.
Windows settings (not control panel), Apps & Features - click on Forza Horizon 3 - click Advanced Options - Reset.

Just tried. Didn't work. It still wants me to pay again for content I already "own".

This way you can overwrite the cloud save with your local one. But yeah there should be an option to manage cloud saves.

Anyone else had any BSOD's?
That will not delete the cloud save, it will only delete the local save. Then when you start the game the next time, your cloud save will be pulled down again
Does your primary drive have 50gb+ (ideally 60+) of free space? If not, try cleaning up and try again.There aren't any workarounds to thw windows store downloads right? For the 3rd time my download resets out of blue half way through. Having poor connection doesn't help but its painfull as hell
The store will occupy the downloaded space on your main drive even if you select another one to install. Atleast that's the case on the two PCs I did the preload on + a few other people from GAF and elsewhere.

Maybe some day Microsoft will achieve the seemingly insurmountable task of launching a PC game in an acceptable state.

Steam is the same, annoyingly.

Well shit, just tried to play again and it ran like shit this time. Drops down into the 30s with tons of stuttering/hitching making it unplayable.
It was raining, but I was just in the area near the starting festival, and I did rainy race event earlier with no problems. So no idea was the issue is now.
EDIT: Running fine again after restart. Though it wasn't raining in game when I reloaded so not sure if it was the restart or change in game state or what.
Still no idea what caused the random issues. Had hardly any drops after the reset, including in Surfers' Paradise and and rain. Odd.

APEX is exactly the same. Starts to stutter after an extended period which is fixed by rebooting.

Horizon 3 stutters right away for me yay.
105GB free. :\
Game runs perfectly fine for me.
No crashes or anything. Obviously it's not that way for all, but in two days I've had no trouble with it.
Hmm disabling the network connection just cause FH3 not to start or just quits the game when you disable the connection mid game

Pack it up guys, Kotaku say it runs fine*
* Not holding 60fps on a 1080 at 1080p

Well I'm sure it does run fine for him..people are having very varied experiences.
I just lost about hours worth of gameplay because of some save error. IT just popped up and said I don't have enough space. I have 40GB free... error was 0x8083003. All I seem to find is problems with Fallout and elder scrolls games with that. I just find it strange it mentioned that error so late that I lost so much progress. Some bucket lists, races, PR stuff etc.
Edit: Well posted this to wrong thread... meant to post it to the OT, sorry guys.

Uninstalling all my Oculus stuff freed up plenty of space for Horizon 3 on my SSD. Can't wait to see how this runs on my PC. Fingers crossed, but it sounds like another game right in the performance profile that easily justifies my Gsync monitor.
This is crazy, I tested my fps on the same spot with different settings.
1440p nearly everything on High, some settings on Ultra: 41fps
720p! everything on the lowest! settings: 41fps....
Something is really wrong with this game
Yep, I had to limit everything to 30fps and since then I had no problems. Would have prefered 60fps but the constant drops got my nerves.
My FPS seems to tank the longer I play but I think I found a pretty easy fix for it. It's worked three times in a row now. I normally play with an unlocked framerate with vsync off but if I switch to 30 FPS with vsync on and then switch back to an unlocked framerate with vsync off my performance goes back to normal. "Normal" still isn't good but I'll take 40-60 with frequent stutters over 30-50 with frequent stutters.
It'd be cool if this isn't just a fluke and it helps other people but I can't promise anything lol.

Yes I can totally confirm that. My fps seem to get worse the longer I play as well

His definition of fine is pretty damn forgiving.
It's a little unfair to single out MS for this when seemingly almost no AAA PC game launches in an acceptable state these days.

Just had my first crash. VIP isn't working, the all star car pack isn't working......yeeah.
Maybe stupid question, but how can I change the volume level of the Forza Horizon 3 app in the Windows 10 itself? I already dropped all the volume bars in game options to 1 but surprisingly it still is too loud compared to the rest of the system, so it's hard to listen to any other audio. There is no "Forza Horizon 3" section in the standard Windows 10 sound mixer. It seems to be mixed together only on the system level, but when I change that, then everything else is too quiet...

720p! everything on the lowest! settings: 41fps....

Yep - had the exact same experience - there are some serious bottlenecks in the engine somewhere.

If you have an i7, try disabling Hyper Threading, it helped my i7 5930K @4.6GHz get 60 FPS most of the time in Surfers Paradise, with HT I had 45.

I've resigned to a 30 lock with a 30hz refresh @1440 with 2xMSAA. I get a weird fast forward effect at 60hz. Can't explain it. It's like the game speeds up and slows down its not stutter.
Looks and performs rock solid for me at these settings now apart from very very rare moments of single hiccups.
I can also get away with 4k @ 30hz 30fps with MSAA off on my 4k TV and it looks glorious.
6700k
1070
16gb ddr4
I just want the content I paid for now and I'll be happy.

Setting the power management to maximum performance in the Nvidia control panel helped but it's still far from perfect. I set MSAA to 8x and now the game looks perfectly clean and locking the framerate to 48 together with GSync feels smooth enough. When locking the FPS to 36 it almost never drops a frame. It's finally playable but I would love to have some constitent framerate above 36. (Gtx 1070, i7 4790k, 16 GB Ram)
Btw: you can enforce the framerate struggle by simply unlocking your fps und spinning the camera very fast with the right stick when in chase cam. I can bring it down from 80s to 20-30s with that.

How can I set the resolution to 4K to then downsample to 1080P?
I don't think there is a way to do proper DSR/VSR downsampling in UWP apps due to them being only borderless windowed. If you are lucky you will get the option to select one of your DSR/VSR resolutions but it will scale it down and look worse than native 1080p.
Man I know it's only really been going on two days, but the lack of communication regarding the poor performance is disheartening. Atleast an acknowledgement of the stuttering and crashing that players are having coupled with a "we're working on it" would be nice.
This game is so damn good, I do hope the issues can be patched out.

There are two ways, both seem to get the same result for IQ.
1. Just set the DSR resolution like any other game, UWP seems to handle downscaling itself now.
2. Set your desktop res to the DSR res and any borderless game including UWPs will also be high res.

Thanks, I might just leave it as it is then, running great on ultra apart from two sudden exits.
