Reminder that Forza 6 PC beta just released, and so far the reviews are positive saying the port is pretty good. It's also free to play so it doesn't hurt having a look.
>>336604373
I've been playing it for the past half hour or so
it's a bit buggy at the moment, I'm getting a weird flickering effect.
>>336604812
What's the refresh rate for your display? Killer Instinct had a similar issue, it was later found out that they tied the frame rate to the refresh rate for some reason, it might be the same problem.
>Win10 only
>>336605656
Well to be fair Forza 6 is using DX 12, they wouldn't be able to release it on Windows 7 or 8 even if they wanted to.
>>336605171
oh yeah, it's probably that thanks I'll try changing it
the game actually seems really good, the level of graphical options is extensive and impressive. Also the dynamic rendering and resolution is interesting too, I assume that's what the Xbox version uses
I pirated windows 7, can I still get 10 for free? Might upgrade to the slightly more intrusive botnet for forza desu
>>336605797
they didn't need to develop with directx 12 then
fukken faggots
>>336605928
Do you still see the upgrade option? If then yes, just upgrade and Windows 10 should be installed.
>W10
Another game dead on arrival.
>>336606090
>see the upgrade option
Where's that?
>>336604373
Currently downloading since for some stupid reason companies never unlock things for download on weekends or mornings
>>336606143
You say like the vast majority of people haven't upgraded to Windows 10 already.
>>336606143
I dont get to play it/=/dead for everyone
>>336606180
It should be a notification in your task bar like this.
>>336606402
>have actual legit win7
>have never seen that pop up in the multiple years it's apparently been nagging people
Huh.
>>336606542
Not every version of Windows 7 is eligible, only Home Premium, Pro and Ultimate are. Also some OEM versions are also not eligible for some reason.
>>336606734
I'm running Home Premium x64 SP2.
>>336606402
Nah, not there.
I don't see it on Steam.
>>336606542
>>336606970
You can grab it from microsoft's website, at least I seen something there like "Click here to get it".
>>336607113
But if I pirated 7 won't I get in trouble of some variety? I'm sure they can tell I pirated it.
>>336607381
They could tell it either way. It's in their best interest you get Win 10, it's a new business model. They also explicitly said you get free win 10 even if you pirated win 7.
The selection of cars is pretty good considering it's a free to play version.
Good looking out
Yup changed my refresh rate to 60 works fine
This beta is pretty sweet
>>336604373
>so far the reviews are positive saying the port is pretty good
wtf reviews are you talking about you stupid shill. it's another dogshit uwp title exlusive to the winblows store. it's terribly optimized and doesn't have a sliver of the feature you'd expect from a pc game
>no overlays

>can't disable vsync

>labeled as a "beta" and "demo" but already has microtransactions
>inexplicable steering damping on gamepads make cars feel like bricks
>>336607704
Yeah I suppose you're right. Also I didn't know they said they'll give upgrades to pirates regardless, that's a nice move on their part
Time to download windows 10 I guess then
>>336609159
>no wheel support
What in the fuck
>>336604373
I'm pretty sure anybody who really gives a fuck about Forza already bought an Xbone for Forza 6 and Horizon 2. Why does this even exist on the PC? It's not even the same game. It had a piddly amount of content compared to the Xbone version and there isn't even any online modes. If you're gonna port over a game at least port the real thing.
I'm finishing up unpacking from my move this weekend. Does this have wheel support? I heard from some sources that it's XBONE controller only?
>>336609159
>no overlays
Yes there are
>can't disable vsync
Confirmed coming in an update
>no wheel support
Confirmed coming in an update
>labeled as a "beta" and "demo" but already has microtransactions
The final game will still be free to play
>inexplicable steering damping on gamepads make cars feel like bricks
That's because Forza is shit
>Windows store exclusive
No thank. I'll wait until it's not on a platform that's fucking terrible.
>>336610046
Apparently not. Controllers are still great for racing games though, so I don't know what all the fuss is about.
>>336609159
>>inexplicable steering damping on gamepads make cars feel like bricks
>forza
>cars feel like bricks
>play rfactor
>cars feel like cars
So, stick to rfactor?
>>336610105
literally never then
>>336609815
It's a beta m8, the whole thing is probably coming out after. Also they said the next Forza Horizon is also coming to PC now.
>>336610473thepiratebay
>>336609159
>>336609608
>>336610046
From what I read, atm only controllers are supported, but before summer there will be wheel support.
Alternatively you can use something like XInput or something to redirect the Xbox controller to a wheel, even if it doesn't play like the real deal.
>>336610505
I don't think UWP games can be cracked. They don't even include exe files anymore.
Playing this game with full graphics at 60 fps is pretty fucking impressive.
>>336610651
They are, there are multiple Quantum Break torrents with cracks.
>>336610678
The game looks great and it's silky smooth, but I still wish the weather effects were better. The rain looks great from the cockpit view but it's kinda lacking in third person.
Why the fuck can't I download it? I get it, I'm still using a HD6950, but come on! I'm fucking mad, I never should have waited for Pascal.
>>336610505
>>336610651
>>336610770
THIS IS HEARTENING NEWS
>>336610897
At least it includes weather effects at all, unlike Assetto Corsa for instance.
>>336610897
Why are you using 3rd person you fag
>>336604373

Guess I really will have to buy a console for a single game, wont I?

>>336611474
>>336611481
Yeah but Forza Horizon 3 is coming to PC, so nothing to worry about, I guess? These games always get better with every sequel.
its dx12 because forza 6 on the xbone is fucking dx12
Its also a fucking free test platform because from now on the forza games are coming to pc starting with horizon 3 and forza 7
GET FUCKED FOR BEING RETARDED
>>336611620
Could you choose tire types and whatnot in horizon 1? I never played it but 2 is missing a fair few of forza's usual customisation options.I got the 360 version of horizon 2
>>336611620
Good point
>>336612129
IIRC 360 Horizon 2 is dumbed down from the xbone verison both graphically and mechanically
even eating shit is free
but why would i do that?
also the catch is w10 (you'll pay a high price for a soulless racing game)
>>336612264
>mechanically
Nah not from the reviews I read pre-purchase. The map is smaller but the mechanics are the same.
>>336612335

Win 10 can't be that bad of a botnet, can it?
>>336613901
If you're on the Windows 7 or 8 you're already part of the botnet.
>>336614031
Someone told me win 10 has issues with audio drivers, something about sound dropping out and needing a reboot to fix, said maybe I should wait for a service pack.
Is that accurate?
>>336614203
that used to happen to me,but after some times i think an update just fixed it
>>336614203
Never heard of anything like that, sounds works fine for me. But then again Gigabyte offers specific Windows 10 audio drivers for my MB on their support page, so obviously I have installed them before hand.
how do i change the download location in windows 10?
>>336614203

>>336614203
I've had the occasional problem since 8 or 7 that required me to restart the audio service and sometimes the Groove music app locks up audio until I kill it but otherwise it's been fine
>>336616282
>>336618632
How.
I'm just going to close this fucking store and wait until it's updatedneverbefore trying it again.
Anyone know if there is SLI support? if not I'm fucking done
im not getting windows 10 garbage, not even for this.

I'm looking forward to Forza 7.
>>336604373

>>336619532
you will when skylake only works on it
>>336605797
>they wouldn't be able to release it on Windows 7 or 8 even if they wanted to
Yes they could, by not making directx 12 win10 exclusive.
There's nothing in directx 12 that makes it capable of running in one OS but not another, other than the fact that they decided not to.
>>336610216
rfactor fucking sucks, understeer and shitty UI abound
>free to play

What the fuck, this game makes no sense, why not just port Forza 6? What the fuck is this supposed to be?

A taster session
Anybody expecting Forza 6 has been told over and over again, its a prologue to the full games coming on Windows 10
Christ
>>336625986
Drivatars
>>336625147
yeah MS is going to do extra work to make directx 12 compatible on four fucking versions of Windows one being almost ten years old
get a clue....
>>336622556
They did a good job with it. Good for them Forza should be played at 60 fps with sweet ass graphics
>>336618632
I tried to delete the folder once, it's actually really simple, just enter safe mode and delete it manually.
>>336625829
It's called Forza 6 Apex, it's not Forza 6 proper. Think of it as something like Gran Turismo 5 prologue. Full version of Forza 6 is probably coming later this year.
How do you fix "to use this app update to the latest version of Windows"?
There's no pending updates or anything either
>>336629448
Go to Settings>System>About and check the Version number
If it's not 1511 you don't have the update
>>336629784
it just says win10 pro
Does anybody know if this game has microtransactions? Are they optional?
>>336630218
Check your update history to see if you have update KB3147458.
>>336630218
Really?
Maybe you don't have the updates

>>336632794
>>336632591
I think he meant to ask what the microtransactions are
>>336632794
If it's only that then it's no big of a deal, I don't plan on buying games there anyway, the only reason I'll play Forza is because it's free.
>>336632853
Oh
You can pay to get more points, to buy cars faster
Or you can play the game and unlock them normally
>>336632853
That's my point wise ass. I don't know for sure, but my hypothesis is that game is entirely free with everything it has, solely for the purpose of inviting new customers. MS may not be planning any transactions whatsoever
>>336627163
The point is that they wouldn't need to do much, Windows 10 is the same as 8.1 internally, just with added shit on top.
>>336633115
There's a section for marketplace, but it isn't online yet. I think I remember hearing that you can buy cars in place of unlocking them

Only bad reviews so far are by literal idiots.
I can't say exactly how well it runs because all stupid Windows Store games don't get detected by MSI and I can't see the framerate.
Also, even maxed out it looks really bad.

No wheel support, no livery editor, and no multiplayer at launch are very valid criticisms.

They said pirated copies of Win7 and 8 and 8.1 would be allowed to upgrade to a legit copy of Win10 with no penalties. They just want you in the 'ecosystem'. If that's a good thing or not is up to you.
>>336646895

uh no. The upgrade will work, but it will be an unauthorized copy with a bunch of annoying problems to convince you to buy it
