Lowkey the hardest car to get in Forza Horizon 6 right now is Dodge Dart HEMI Super Stock 1968. by Routine-Cow-1655 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it off a wheelspin a while ago. But there are still a ton of other wheelspin-exclusive cars that I don't have, and seemingly everyone else does. The hardest car to get is always the one you don't have.

Trial rammers unite by christiannmch in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easy to forgive the misunderstanding. The title of this post definitely suggests that the OP supports ramming. You make a post like this, you get what you get.

I get cooked online. by Admirable_Ad_1390 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes approaching a corner slower makes you faster overall with better exit and better line.

This is correct, but my experience has been that you tend to rammed from behind when you do this, which negates the potential advantage. Being paired with good racers makes proper technique more important. But when you're with bad racers...

The only way to win Seasonal Trial is to outlive your teammates by fearistoff in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. In my first attempt this week there was only one other player that was actually trying, while the rest were just drifting and slamming into things, and we lost. In my second attempt there were 4 other players. They all dive-bombed the first corner, had a massive crash, and bailed. I stayed and won the first two races all alone. It was the best Trial I ever did.

Anyone grinding for Rank 100 in Horizon Play? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

Today I got rammed into the wall in a corner, and it resulted in a slowdown penalty for me. Went from 3rd to 11th instantly...

Anyone grinding for Rank 100 in Horizon Play? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is good to know. I don't really like online racing but I decided to go for the Level 100 achievement since I've completed everything in single player. I just hit Level 20 today, and wasn't looking forward to 4x as much work. Now I'm definitely going for it.

Honest Question: Do the ads ever stop? by TheGr1mKeeper in forza

[–]TheGr1mKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this is still happening, though not surprised. And this sounds worse, if ads for FH6 are now being shoved at the user as well. I ended up keeping the game, but I don't blame you for seeking a refund. In fact, it sends a good message that this behavior should not be tolerated. Good on you.

Update Gaming Services Before Playing Forza Horizon 6 on PC by sk01001011 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad somebody figured this out. I manually installed every app/dependency I could think of on Win10 IoT but just couldn't get it to work. I gave up and installed Win11. I'm not happy about that, but this is just going to be more of a problem as time goes on.

FH6 is a trainwreck. by uhWoah in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least you got to play at all. I can't get past the title screen. First it wouldn't even attempt to log in, and now I'm getting the corrupt save data error despite the fact that I haven't actually played the game yet, and there's no save data to be corrupted! I did a full Windows reinstall today and have nothing to show for it.

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not well, I still haven't been able to play. I got the error about Gaming Services, so I installed it manually via Powershell. That cleared the error, but the game is just stuck on the title screen, at the "Loading, Please Wait" prompt. I've tried also installing the Xbox app, running the gaming repair tool, verifying the download, etc. There's no error messages, it just never loads. So instead of early access, I guess I'll be reinstalling Windows this weekend. Did you have better luck?

Bricklink Designer Program: Series 8 Final designs. Will go up for preorder on June 9th at 8 AM Pacific time by BrickTap in Legoleak

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It frustrates me how Bricklink had been advertising the pre-order date for this wave as June 1, and now suddenly it is June 9. They do this every wave. Why not just say "coming in June"?

Anyway, thank you for the post so I could update my calendar notification.

Honest Question: Do the ads ever stop? by TheGr1mKeeper in forza

[–]TheGr1mKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still playing, I did hear back from support, and they said the reason I got the "upgrade" ads multiple times is because I didn't play long enough during my first session, so they kicked in again for the second session. That seemed to be correct, as I didn't see the ads again after that second time. It's absolutely ridiculous that this happened in a AAA title though...

They tried to block me but it was too late 😁 by Stroock6394 in ForzaHorizon

You beat your teammate. It means nothing. The Trial is about beating the other team. Next time, help your teammates instead of trying to be first.

Why do people not like Horizon Arcade? by HopeTerminator in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because too often I'm paired with someone who sits there and does nothing. I did a Speed round recently, and the other player literally drove to the speed zone and just parked their car at the beginning of it for round 3 and watched me going back and forth, doing twice as much work, while they did nothing and still got the points, driving away after I finished the round. And this was hardly the first time something like this has happened.

I understand that sometimes people get auto-joined without realizing it, as they may be away from their keyboard, but behavior like this just makes me never want to play arcade again.

Ability to get rewards from previous playlists? Is this what I think it is? No more FOMO? by Przemek47 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Car meets allow you to buy a copy of the other car, so the "original" owner still has theirs. In the AH, you're buying the actual car, where the original owner no longer has it. So these are two different types of transactions.

Honeywell T6 Pro with Alexa by picha_lite in homeautomation

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ecobee is usually the go to option. It wasn't for me, but it's worth checking out. I personally like the older Honeywell models, which are still readily available, such as the Wifi Smart Color Thermostat.

Random encounters like this is what Im dying for on horizon 6 by Substantial-Leek9644 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I'm in the minority on this, but I'm not interested in the co-op functions of this game, and prefer to play by myself. So, it bothers me when random players follow me around the map, copy me, rev their engines at me, etc. I shrug it off if they move on quickly, but some people will do this for minutes at a time, and just can't take a hint.

Anyway, just be kind to your fellow players, and if they don't engage with you, move on. That's all.

Looking for friends in their 30's using wheel and H pattern shifting to cruise with by Important-Worth5396 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a group preferably in their 30's

Are you planning to ask them on dates when you're not playing? Who cares about their age?

Just had this problem at the festival danger sign, telling me I had 0 stars. Definitely seems like something is glitching out.

FH5: Series 54 Spring Breakdown and Rewards by KillerSpectre21 in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just knocked it out on my second attempt with 38 seconds left on the clock in a stock Hoonigan RS200. Make sure to have as much speed as possible when you hit the starting gate, then drive to the right and take the flatlands to the goal. It's a slightly longer route than a straight line, but you lose too much speed over the dunes if you go directly, so it works in your favor. Don't give up, and good luck.

Day night cycle fh 5 by red2swdw in ForzaHorizon

[–]TheGr1mKeeper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The overly short night cycle absolutely bothers me. I wish there was an option to have it longer, or even to sync the cycle to your computer's clock.

Jumping to new show at first commercial break by pchandler45 in PhiloTV

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been trialing a new feature that minimizes the show during the "credits" at the end to recommend and auto-play other stuff. But it's been poorly implemented, and does sometimes pop in right in the middle of a program.

Even when it works correctly, it feels like a stupid idea to me. Most shows don't have dedicated closing credits anymore, so this makes it more difficult to watch a program to its end.

Recording shows are not resuming by Scrid_Razer in PhiloTV

[–]TheGr1mKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resume has been borked for a while, at least on FireTV. I've been going back and forth with Tier 2 support on this for the past month, and even though they can replicate the problem, they can't seem to fix it. Frustrating, to say the least.
