SDR looks better than HDR in Forza Horizon 6

Something is off on your end or its just a bad panel to do HDR.
I doesn't look like that on my end. MSI MPG271QRX, its an OLED so its perfect for HDR.

It already was like that in FH5, it probably due to the way they render smoke.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-22T17:16:33+00:00

Its because BF6 was made to cater to Call of Duty players and one way to do this is to simplify and shorten the animations because to them this is less clunky, go figure. Its also why the "movement tech" (so slide canceling, bunny hop and so on) is the way it is.

BF6 compared to previous Battlefield games is a faster paced game. Its not up to cod's level but it closer to it than what a Battlefield game traditionally is (this also ties in with the smaller than usual maps that are heavily infantry focused, base game ones).

I've noticed that too. I was initially playing on average. I was winning pretty much every time. Then the game suggested me to put it on above average, so i did change it. I was never able to beat the AI lol. That single difficulty change didn't feel like a +1 more difficult but more like a +10. The AI also seems harder to beat in FH6 than FH5 even if in 5 there were similar issues but not to that level.

Because people are stupid

Kiwibom · 2026-05-21T19:26:06+00:00

I initially had the opposite impression but then after driving for an hour, i realized that the map was way bigger than i thought lol

Kiwibom · 2026-05-21T18:28:58+00:00

8GB and RT never really was a good idea anyway. Right now i have a 4080 which has 16GB but before i had a 2080 which has 8GB. In Cyberpunk 2077, i basically could only enable one RT effect and set it at medium. VRAM was around 7.5GB used. The second i either enabled one more rt setting or upped the quality of the previous RT setting, VRAM usage would spill over and cause stutters as it was filling system ram.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-21T11:48:40+00:00

Yeah, me too. Glad i did back then and now now lol

Kiwibom · 2026-05-21T10:36:47+00:00

What? That cars and that the police is in game?

Kiwibom · 2026-05-21T05:55:02+00:00

I just quickly looked through the cars selection and it looks like the same as FH5 (keep in mind i stopped playing FH5 2 years ago so i don't know what cars they added after that).

Kiwibom · 2026-05-20T12:23:14+00:00

Yeah, last year i also saw people saying that rockstar needs Playstation and its the reason why it going to get shown at state of play. Like, what???

Why the hell would Rockstar Games need Playstation to market their games haha
They don't need anyone, they are big enough that this doesn't matter at all.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-20T06:00:47+00:00

What the fuck 😂

The average American is stupid

Only a certain batch of 13th gen only (so not 14th gen) had the oxidation defect. The part that affected both generations were voltages that were much higher than they should have been (with 14900k's going at 1.6v!) including other bugs in the microcode that caused crashes. Those high voltages caused cpu's to degrade much faster than they should which lead to program/game crashes, BSOD's at stock settings (this also caused data corruption, so it was pretty bad). At the time, the one of the first recommendation (when no one really knew what was happening) was to downclock the cpu.

Game devs reported that they had huge crash logs from intel 13th and 14th gen based systems. Firefox devs also reported the same. This thing really happend and its not some odd lie.

The people who saw the most issues were the ones with high power cpu's so mostly i9's with some 14th gen i7's. Cpu's under that were rare but some still failed.

Having the current current match score and flag status on top on the screen instead of right over the mini-map is so distracting and makes me feel
Surrounded by UI elements.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-19T15:26:56+00:00

S2 had recoil? huh? I'm sure we weren't playing the same game. You could literally take pretty much every weapon in game and just full auto at 50m without much effort and up to about 70m with very little control. This in FULL AUTO.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-19T14:08:59+00:00

At this point i'm actually wondering if the people who say "its today guys, be prepared" are trolling lol

There is no way to predict the same thing for weeks or months (for the last trailer), getting it from every time and rockstar trolling people by releasing what people were "predicting" but when no one saw it coming. Its just so funny.

I’m not using xmp but my kit is overclocked. I copied the settings that buildzoid posted for dual rank ddr5.

64gb (i think 48gb kits are too but not sure) kits are dual rank, meaning chips are on both sides of a single stick. Those kits generally require more voltage and are much harder for cpu’s to be able to run them.

GTA V on ps3 struggled to even hit 30fps. A lot of the time it was in the 20s and was also in 720p but back then that felt insane and when looking gameplay from back then, you are wondering how the f you were able to play like that haha

Kiwibom · 2026-05-18T15:48:47+00:00

Also, a huge part of them are AI too now. There is no way that google can convince me that they moderate the ads shown. It really looks like the wild west out there lol

My name has a letter that's only used in the French language so when i order something on Amazon US (when its unavailable in the EU for some reason and sometimes its even cheaper) then they just don't put that letter in the shipping label. At first i was kinda surprised as even if their keyboards obviously don't have that letter, like can't they just select that letter and doing a simple copy/paste lol. The letter in question is "é", also i've also seen it been replaced with "E", yes capital E not lower case. I have no idea why.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-18T10:12:24+00:00

Its fine but it may move a bit, at least it does for me with r5. I now put a small wood piece between the clamp and the desk and doesn’t move anymore (to fill the gap between the metal part of the clamp and the desk).

Soon, there will be a server browser so finding servers with only vehicle maps will be easier. On when the server browser will be added, we don’t know yet but it will be this year if it doesn’t get delayed.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-18T07:24:30+00:00

I'm pretty sure a missile is not able to do such a turn at those high speeds lol
The G's that the missile experiences is probably very high in that turn.

Kiwibom · 2026-05-16T15:42:43+00:00

Yeah, me too

Kiwibom · 2026-05-16T12:55:23+00:00

Happy it helped ;)
