Just finished playing and the server was down for me as well. It also took longer than usual to load my credits directly after a race for my last two races. Then the server went down. I'm sure that had something to do with the delay in the loading.

On another note, I like the inclusion of Anna. I like that I don't even have to open the map to get a route for the next event. So far, I'm enjoying this even more than the original Horizon. Like Dibils mentioned, it gives you that PGR feel when you're zipping through the city streets. I've been waiting for that feel for quite sometime.

Ok good to know it's not me. I am on a strict NAT....very little i can do about it too, terrible ISP i got.

OMFG the Pagani Zonda is amazing. I am doing that Bucket List now and the speed that thing produces...holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I love how well it handles even at crazy speed.

I was surprised about something though...

I've only done a few races and the dude already says i have 13 more championships to go until the finale. Isn't that a bit.....short? I guess the campaign itself probably isn't too long and aside from that you got many of these other events?

i think they said that after the championship you are only about 20% done with the game
 
I still haven't unlocked clubs yet...left to go see a movie....will try tomorrow.

Ok good good. So that should mean there is tons to do after the finale. I never got to finish the first FH, but i do remember playing plenty of events and never reaching that finale.
 
Yeah, I really like the PGR driving style in this game, and there's a lot of beautiful vistas to explore.

Just found the first 'secret' garage :-)
 
finally comes out in Australia tomorrow.
can u send me car club invite?
 
It seems like none of the DLCs - Day One car pack, car pass, VIP - are synched for me. Is that the case with others as well?

VIP is working for me. I haven't looked at the car packs yet.
 
Regarding the Car Club, I tried to make the club this morning now that I have the clubs unlocked. Sadly, I get the following error when attempting to submit the club:

An unknown error has occurred.

No luck starting the club this morning :(. I can try again after work today though.
 
OMFG fix this s*** asap please MS or Playground.

I was playing the game and i had to charge my controller, so to try to avoid that bug...i decided to go into the dashboard temporarily and then i put in the p&c cable, controller turns off. I turn it on again.....and i couldn't do a thing anymore. I couldn't move around the dash or whatsoever anymore.

I haven't have this with ANY other games except for the demo of FH2 and the full version.

Not sure how well they check these forums, but you could try posting your problem here:

So it really handles like PGR? Yeah,this one is sold.

No, it doesn't handle like PGR, but let's say it's just a very forgiving version of Forza Motorsport driving even on simulation settings. It feels just right. It's far from heavy and drift-dependent Criterion NFS, more akin to the swaying style of Driver SF, but still, above all, like Forza.

I had to wait until I got to the point where I could actually buy cars. Once there, I could finally download all the day one, launch, and and VIP / pass cars.

I didn't get the car for playing the demo though, did anyone?

VIP was working for me as intended. I like the whole "roll" thing you do when leveling up. Haven't gotten a car yet though!

I enjoyed seeing Jeffy and TD get smoked on my very first race. ;)

Yes you have to wait until you reach the second road trip. No I didn't get the Subaru WRX, I think they are supposed to give it as a gift, and no message has come from Turn 10 or Playground as of now. I think they will do it once they solve the current server issues.

I got a car on the roll. I love how VIP doubles the credits on the roll...worth the extra money IMO :) HA!!
 
I just redeemed 600,000 credits for FH2 at the Rewards site. BOOM!
 
The extra horsepower found in the X1 is making this game shine. The draw distance is great and really helps in anticipating turns. Overall the graphics are beautiful and the day/night cycle makes things look even better. They also did a fantastic job with the lighting as the sun sets and beams over the cars and environment. I love the road trips. I'll be purchasing the passes for this game as I can see myself playing it for a long time.

We are in another golden age of gaming with so many top tier games on offer right now. :bang:
 
I'd like to add I'm no car buff so my knowledge is limited. But I just started and I'm racing with the 69 Camaro. I believe its a rear wheel drive. It seems to sort of jump or jerk a bit when I apply power coming out of a turn and when it rains and the road is slick it drifts like nothing I've raced with before. Its safe to say I really like its handling, perhaps its suited to my racing style. I wonder what kind of beast it can become with some proper tuning and modification.

From the Forza team regarding Car Club:

Hi folks,

A few updates for you tonight:

  • We have implemented a server-side fix for those players who have experienced issues with VIP functionality in Forza Horizon 2. With this fix, expected VIP behaviors should work as intended in the game (VIP badge next to your GT, 2x VIP wheelspins, VIP Car Pack cars cost zero credits on first purchase, etc.) As a precaution, we recommend you quit your current game of Horizon 2 and restart the game in order to see the corrected VIP functionality.

  • Some players who were part of the Xbox One October Preview program were experiencing crashing and freezing in Forza Horizon 2 and Forza Motorsport 5. An update was released earlier today and should be available to all Preview participants by tomorrow night. This update to the Xbox One OS should resolve those issues.

  • We have resolved the issue that allowed players to double-purchase VIP and/or the Forza Horizon 2 bundles. This should no longer be possible. We are currently investigating solutions for players that purchased this content more than once.

  • Some of our social features, like Rivals, livery sharing, etc. are seeing inconsistent performance for some of our players. While these features are generally working, some of them are performing more slowly than is ideal. The team is working to improve our online service performance.

  • Once the servers are stabilized, we will then get to sending out payouts for loyalty rewards cars, Forza Rewards payouts, etc.


Thanks again for all your patience with the launch of Forza Horizon 2.

[ORIGINAL POST] First of all, thanks to everyone that has purchased Forza Horizon 2 and is enjoying the game so far.

We wanted to keep you in the loop with what is happening regarding issues with VIP functionality and our intermittent launch day server issues. To that end, here's what's happening at Turn 10:

We are seeing intermittent connection issues with the game. As a result, we may be temporarily disabling some of our services from time to time to help determine the root cause. Clubs is an example of something that was temporarily disabled. These disruptions should be short in duration as we learn more about the problem and prepare a solution.

While debugging the connectivity issues above, we are also actively testing a fix for the VIP issue that some of you are experiencing. We hope to be in a state ASAP, where we can release fixes for both issues. Thanks for your patience. This is a top priority for us today.
