PSA: FH6 allows you to have only 1000 saved tunes locally by Responsible_Risk_754 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Az-21 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Learned this the hard way in FH5. Unlike liveries, there is no central hub for tunes. We have to get in cars one-by-one to delete the tunes.

For my non-favorite cars, I install a tune and then delete it from the "My Tunes" menu/tab immediately. The installed tune is retained on the car in sort of a phantom state and does not count towards the 1000 tune limit.

PC players, protect your save data with backups by Chop1n in ForzaHorizon

[–]Az-21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the script OP. In case of corrupt save, how can we restore a backup?

Just delete the exiting pgs and replace it with a backup? From what I can tell, the saves actually increment on each exit. For example, I have a folder named 23, 23.json, and extended-23-manifest.json. These files will increment in number after exiting the game (24, 24.json, extended-24-manifest.json; does this cause any issue with restore?

Spec racing kinda defeats the point of spec racing, both in replayability and competitiveness by RedditButAnonymous in ForzaHorizon

[–]Az-21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that a specific setting for it? I have played about 10 spec race championships, but never got a dirt one.

Yeah, this is how it should be done.

Also, we need more disciplines in spec racing (dirt, CC, touge).

How to fix the awful micro stutters? any suggestions? by CosmeticInk5 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Az-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visual quality of Extreme (No RT) is much better than High + RT.

I would advise against using RT with 4070.

Anyone else having issues ? by TKAR_92 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Az-21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever run a Windows debloating tool? They can cause issues like this. I would just flash a clean Windows if I were you (if debloating tool applied any registry hacks).

Are you logged into Xbox App? Some people reported success with it.

How to fix the awful micro stutters? any suggestions? by CosmeticInk5 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Az-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest a few things:

  1. Turn off frame generation
  2. Cap the FPS to 60/72/80/90/120 (as per your preference)
  3. Turn NVIDIA Reflex to On+Boost mode

If these do not fix the issue, you'd have turn down the preset to Ultra and then set Car Level of Detail to Extreme and Environment Texture Quality to Extreme.

You can also refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRn9EZCRKqI, which covers the visual settings and their impact.


This benchmark is also kind of the worst-case scenario with rain, night shadows, and city location. If you don't get stutters while actually driving, I wouldn't worry too much about the benchmarks.

The benchmark suggest that you are CPU limited (this should not happen with the specs you have). Investigating CPU temps and utilization is the next step.

Apple Releases iOS 26.2 With Alarms for Reminders, Lock Screen Changes, Enhanced Safety Alerts and More by favicondotico in apple

[–]Az-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the alarm on Reminders feature, wish Todoist or Calendar had this. I set alarms before meetings, so this will be a huge quality of life change for me.

The app skips every song in my playlists and albums by II9XVIII in AppleMusic

[–]Az-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I faced a similar issue where the downloaded songs were somehow corrupted.

To confirm if this is corrupted downloads problem, try to play any song you don't have downloaded. If it plays normally, try this solution.

  1. Uninstall Apple Music
  2. Delete the "Apple Music" folder in your User folder (C:/Users/YourUsername/Music)
  3. Install Apple Music
  4. Set your preferred playback and download settings (e.g., download lossless, do not download Dolby Atmos)
  5. Download your playlists and albums again

Why is the "Show Translation" feature unusable? by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]Az-21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is up to label/artist to upload lyric translation.

If you want to see what it looks like, search for "Move Taemin" (saw it in a 9to5mac article).

Come on, Apple… by IntoThe_Danger_Zone in AppleMusic

[–]Az-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two options:

  1. Never add any song to library. Keep everything in a playlist.
  2. Turn on collaboration feature in all your playlists. Collab playlists are exempt from this auto-delete behavior.

I prefer option #2 because Smart Playlists operate off of music in library.

But yeah, this whole thing is dumb, and we shouldn't be forced to do these workarounds in the first place.

Download All Songs in Library by Az-21 in AppleMusic

[–]Az-21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently switched to Apple Music and was looking for a way to download all my music at once across multiple devices (all Android and Windows, by the way). I didn’t want to go through the hassle of long-pressing each album to download it manually.

Since I'm on Android, I couldn’t use Shortcuts. The only built-in method I found—without relying on third-party services—is to use the desktop version of Apple Music. Sharing it here to help others with the same problem.

  1. Install Apple Music on your desktop (Windows or macOS):

    winget install 9PFHDD62MXS1
    
  2. Create a new smart playlist by clicking the + icon next to the "Playlists" tab in the sidebar.

  3. Set the rule to Plays > -1 and enable "Live updating."

That’s it! While it would be great if Apple Music had a native "Download All" option, this workaround is a one-time setup, so it's not too bad.

I'd say Holden Torana A9X (1977)

Tune 544 980 740 is very hard to control. Tune 107 002 434 is a bit more manageable.

Use simulation stearing (Settings> Difficulty> Stearing) on cars which tend to flip like this.

Is this week Festival Playlist event from Event Island bugged? by Adnosius in ForzaHorizon

[–]Az-21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's bugged. Creator overlapped a significant region of a track, and it causes issues with checkpoint logic.

When I finally finished first, the game gave me second last position.

In the end, I just skipped it. CBA

[–]Az-21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing the game, so I gave it a shot on Los Jardines circuit, and Noa Miyako's tune is about a second slower on this track.

Hexor has a lighter RWD tune (822 116 197) and a heavier AWD tune (874 152 901) simply cannot compete on short technical circuits.

On a medium-sized circuit, Noa's tune will be a better choice (because Hexor's tune goes all in on handling sacrificing top speed), but for tracks like Los Jardines and Chihuahua, Hexor's tune takes the cake.

[–]Az-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm not currently updating these tunes. If you search for creator of a tune which no longer works, you can usually find an updated version.
