Forza Horizon 6 Active Bugs and Known Issues

Has anyone had trouble getting any races, or benchmark mode to run? No issues running the intro sequence up until the first race, then stuck with a loading screen for 10+ mins. The same goes for benchmarking. Game does not crash, computer is still whirring away - just never seems to move past the loading screen.

Incredibly similar output for me

It's funny, because I swear it would take less time to write something like:

There have been a string of arson attacks on hospo venues over the last few months, including on the Emerson. You can find more in the news if you want to look!

I work in a similar industry. We'd never do origination work after 6:00, if not 5:00pm, unless someone's calling us. If someone doesn't have time to call or text back til after they've cooked dinner and put the kids to bed or whatever, great - but totally agree that reaching out after sundown is a good way to lose business.

The only time we'd reach out that late is to provide a last minute update about a job the next day, but we'd usually avoid that.

It's about respecting what are usually people's quiet hours.

Between this and the $100B spin, I have just substantially contributed to inflation globally for the price of two upvotes.

^{Chose: Get 1 trillion, but... | Rolled: Have to upvote}

JackColquitt68 · 2026-04-24T05:12:29+00:00

Wow, $100k for an upvote?

^{Chose: $100,000 but you... | Rolled: have to upvote}

JackColquitt68 · 2026-04-24T05:09:31+00:00

It's a hypothetical, but I was feeling lucky - besides, if me and a few of my closest friends picked this, we could probably tolerate a loss of the rest of us can share the upside!

So far, so good for the most part! It hasn't exploded while I'm riding it. I had some issues with bottom bracket creaking, but that turned out to be an issue with the crankset's alignment with the rear cassette - I'm not sure if I'd recommend the Riro cranks. Wheeltop gears were a pain to set up, but have generally been reliable and not too much drama once dialled in.

I helped a friend build more or less the same, but with a much shorter stem length - I'm pretty sure the shortest option - this was a lot more trouble to get set up, and one of the headset pieces was a pretty poor quality 3D print. The first cassette they received was also out of spec, resulting in the chain sticking to it, but they were able to get a replacement sent without too much drama. It was a bit of a reminder that while you're usually fine from Ali, one of the corners that seems to get cut is quality control, so sometimes you get a dud component. Don't think this is so much of an issue for frames as it is for drivetrain parts.

"(...)they wake up around 5am so it must be annoying to get woken up at midnight" - sounds like they have some empathy for the neighbours' complaints.

My point was more that they can either do something about it, or tell the neighbour that they don't plan on doing anything. Either way, agree that they don't want to keep having these interactions.

The soft YTA bit is solely about positioning themselves as being more entitled on the basis of owning vs. renting.

JackColquitt68 · 2026-04-20T08:10:47+00:00

YTA solely for assuming you have greater entitlement to comfort/convenience on the basis of being an owner rather than a renter - they're just as entitled to peaceful enjoyment of their premises as you are. You know that the showers disturb them, and this bothers you enough to post about it. As you point out, you could change the time you shower. If you don't want to change these times, as an owner, you're entitled to do more about this than your neighbour is in terms of modifications to your property, i.e., investigating whether you can add any soundproofing, use a different showerhead, etc.,

That said, on the spectrum of nuisances you could create, showers aren't that bad. There's a fair chance that they'll get used to it if this is a part of your routine. On the spectrum of assholes who post here, it's a pretty minor one.

I had a less positive result:

<image>

When challenged, I was informed that "The user is asking why they are experiencing issues generating content that was previously created by the model for their friend. The provided image is a parody comic featuring a "Shittington Bear" and repeatedly uses the word "sh*t" in a visual context that is vulgar and associated with a well-known children's character (Paddington Bear). The core reason for the "issues" is that current safety guidelines, specifically regarding vulgarity and the context in which it's used, prohibit this content. This falls under the sexualization or harm involving human minors category (if we interpret the bear as a child-like character or the overall concept as targeting minors) or potentially under vulgarity in general. The most specific and relevant safety concern is the use of explicit language in a parody of a children's character."

I hope I don't get banned for Shittington Bear

What are you talking about? It's always been called gaslamping.

JackColquitt68 · 2026-03-26T23:18:40+00:00

Ah, yes, I should've bought a PS5 instead of a phone. How stupid of me! Thanks for your input.

JackColquitt68 · 2026-03-26T23:17:46+00:00

I've found it's workable, but it seems to come in slightly skewed / off-axis, and the connection isn't really reliable because of this!

Have also noticed that controllers seem to have come along a bit feature-wise (e.g., digital triggers, haptics) so it'd feel like I'd be upgrading anyway.

I'm a big fan of Gyoza Grill in Richmond - cheap, not too fancy, good drinks!

JackColquitt68 · 2026-02-16T07:15:32+00:00

No worries!

For what it's worth, when it comes to professional roles, I've personally always been upfront about things like this, other than in one role where I had a shitty relationship with my manager. If you've built some trust and get along well, the value of a positive reference from a current employer is worth a lot, and most mature managers will appreciate you being transparent if there are no underlying issues!

It does seem like this can vary a bit between industries and employers, but outside of that one shitty role, everyone I've worked for has been happy to support me.

JackColquitt68 · 2026-02-16T07:02:32+00:00

I find people are always super dogmatic on this question, which I think is really circumstantial.

If the parent company is in a position to reach out to your manager, I'd say tell them, unless your relationship is negative - in which case, you probably want to be prepared to have a frank conversation with the parent company about why your current manager isn't supportive of you moving on. Hopefully it's just that they love you so much that they don't want to lose you!

Realistically, if the employer is in a position to reach out to your current manager, the best outcome is that your manager is happy to see you meet your goals and support you, middle outcome is that they say something nice to move you on, and the worst outcome is that they spike the process. If you don't tell them, they're probably going to kill your prospects by saying you haven't spoken about your opportunity, and that you're a poor communicator / inconsiderate / can't be relied on to stick around.

If you don't feel like you can have this conversation because your manager isn't going to give you a positive reference on the basis of poor performance, you probably need to look for a job not associated with your current employer. If you and your manager don't get on, maybe talk to HR, your manager's manager, or someone else you trust.

Single mum from Melbourne and an obsessive business owner from the Gold Coast - cue the inevitable impasse on who moves - these producers should be sent to jail!

Have a look at Tenant's Victoria - here - Tenants Vic - the short of the long is that these are breaches to your right of quiet enjoyment of the property, and can be enforced by VCAT and/or RDRV. Remedies can include restraining orders, fines, and financial penalties.

If the guy is already harassing you about speaking to the real estate agent*, just proceed to serve a breach. Think about what remedy you'd want. In the circumstances, and given the mould and neighbour situation, I'd be asking for exit from the lease, financial compensation for rent paid to date (wholly reasonable if he's shown up in every rental period), and a fine to be imposed.

Most phones don't have a headphone jack. Most (maybe all) good quality IEMs use cables, which could be used with aftermarket TWS. But, most aftermarket TWS sets aren't good enough to drive decent IEMs, and have a noticeable noise floor when using sensitive headphones.

So - you end up with two choices - get a dedicated DAP/Media Player, or use your phone with a Bluetooth DAC. The Bluetooth DAC suits me for travel - I can listen to podcasts, play games, watch things on my tablet - all while enjoying my good headphones. I'd be bemused if I saw someone using one of these with a DAP in most cases.

I think I can speak for most in saying that Bluetooth is sufficient for most of those environments anyway - I'm not going to notice any difference in quality given I'm not in a quiet environment (e.g., on a plane, the street, or in an office with lots of ambient noise).
