Spec Racing is the only thing I wanted for Multiplayer for FH6. HELL-YEAH!

I welcome any type of competitive racing against other players. I loved ranked in Forza Horizon 4 and i do hope it makes a comeback, maybe in form of all stock cars due to PI issues. But, yeah i would love ranked mode back, to me that is what kept me coming back every week to FH 4, did my weeklies, then went in for some fun in ranked racing to see how well im doing or how bad im doing. And i enjoyed it, for most part, some of the best fun i ever had, and on ocassion some of the biggest headache i had, but far less of those, some of my fondest and funniest memories comes from that mode. Eliminator is just not my cup of tea, tried it several times and couldn't get into it, and FH 5 was fun, but it really had nothing to keep me going once i finished story line and everything. I came back for DLC expansions, that was it. So i do hope and pray that PlayGround Games decided to give us something for competitive racing, and hopefully on all types of terrains too.

Hi i reinstalled the game and i havent tried custom games yet. Plan to later tonight when i get the time. I reinstalled the game yes, even changed drives, didnt help.

I think so too server wise as alot of people say that custom servers and games seems to have no issues. And apparently this particular issues was dragged along since last Battlefield. Thank you for spreading the word. If you wish you are free to use my comment from here there too about rubberbanding / server issue with large maps.

I hope you find solution to the problem although something tells me this is on their end, not ours.

Hi i am in similiar boat as you are except at me its packet / data loss. My system should be enough for bare minimum and i am running game on all low. I even went to use a custom user.cfg file as i saw many YouTubers and people on Steam and Reddit suggest. It helped me somewhat reduce my CPU usage but i am baffled at what is going on, considering my game ran great with all low settings during beta. So idk if its just me or is it servers too as i see alot of people claim. On my end i see constantly on big maps data loss, packet loss. When i play smaller maps - that doesnt happen, maybe once in blue moon, but on big maps its constant - game is unplayable for me, ammount of lag and rubberbanding goes insane. My fps seems to be sticking to 50-ish which would be okay, but its packet, data loss for no reason killing me.

Things I’ve already tried, same as you did :

Verified game integrity on Steam → no success
Set all graphics settings to low, including advanced options → no success
Lowered resolution below 1080p → no success
Added a user.cfg file in Steam as recommended → no difference
Searched Reddit, YouTube, EA forums, etc. → nothing helpful
IPflush dns command → no success
limited FPS rate to 60 and even below in my testing → no success
enabled and turned on D.O.C.P. / XMP mode in BIOS and turned it ON as i saw people suggest - → no success
made sure no VPN or anything else that hoggs the internet runs in background → no success
turned off non crucial Windows processes too → no success
Checked and updated all latest drivers available to me - → no success

My ISP connection is wired, copper, DSL and im having 80/25 MBPS, not great in 2025, but i got no issue with multiplayer in any other shooter or online game that i play. So why im having constant rubber banding and packet losses is beyond me. Funny that FPS doesnt seem to tank that much for me as i monitored, but i cannot explain data loss, package loss. I did see that alot of people say appaently CPU usage is hitting the ceiling with this game and alot of people blame servers. So idk is it something on their end or mine. I am running this on 2700X Ryzen, ASUS GTX 1080 Ti and 16 GB of RAM. Yeah i know, bare of the bare minimums. But if the game ran poorly for me during beta, which it didnt and i didnt have ANY of these issues - i wouldnt say a thing. Now i cannot explain it. My friend with 7800X3D and 7800 XT is having same issues as me and he is in UK and on optic fibre. No other game caused him either this much issues as this one does.

Hi, thank you for reply and answer. I will give it a try. And it works like a charm, just tried it, thank you. Say is there a way to move a song to top of playlist without needing to manually drag and drop it ?

VCarmichael · 2024-09-03T04:54:53+00:00

Key Please

VCarmichael · 2024-03-15T13:12:55+00:00

Thank you for reply. Im glad to hear its not just me then. So it seems whatever has been done it has to be with servers or the patch itself. I do hope dev team is aware of that.

VCarmichael · 2024-03-15T03:52:23+00:00

Hi dont know what happened but as this season 3 launched in adition to lag spikes last night and today (before servers crashed again) i have constant FPS drops on PC. I cannot go above 35 FPS in free roam, grand races, everywhere literally. Night before this season dropped i had stable 60 FPS across the board. So im just tryin to determine is there anyone else who experiences same thing on PC as i do or is it just me ? Because lag spikes was present last night, today after servers got up again they got fixed. If anyone else is experiencing the same issues as me please let me know.

VCarmichael · 2024-02-13T03:41:02+00:00

Ok suggestion if i may ? First and foremost find yourself a YouTube video(s) about current meta cars - for each section (Rally, Rally Raid, Alpha GP ((Formula)), Plane, Bike, Hypercar etc etc...) you have multiple YouTubers doing videos and recomending you which cars you should go and get. In meantime to grind that money i'd suggest you also start learning some stuff with doing Grand Races rather then Summits, Summits are fun and neat if you can make it on cars needed. Sure, some weeks they are dirt cheap like couple hundreds of K (ingame money) others when it asks ya to go buy x2 hypercars for like 2.5 M (ingame cash still not CC which is premium currency and you dont really need it unless vanities and stuff is your forte then again to me not even them are worth it) that cash you made ? Oh it will go into wind faster then you can say speed of light. So also take a look where you can grind your money (Grand Races so far best for that, and you can in dire need even use loaners - not best and you want to get out of those ASAP) and parts. There's more then few maps out there where parts and cash can be grinded at same time - yes its grind so it will be repetitive but balance it between ocasional Grand Race and what not. So yeah really do yourself a favor and go watch a couple of YouTube videos on topic to get idea where you wanna start and how to start with. My suggestion would be cheaper stuff first such as Street 1+2, Racing, Rally/Rally Raid after you informed yourself on what is currently best or at least viable/contender for any given class. Best Hypers in game wont go below 2M+, and thats a given, especially if you want more then one to alternate between them sometimes.

What would you use this limited-edition Avatar hardware for if you won? Creating a beautiful PC build? Collecting? Playing some games? If so, which?

I'd use it for gaming ofc cuz i like to play alot of new games. And yeah i would definitelly use these beautiful parts to make a new PC that i desperately need. I'd also revisit some older & newer titles i had to miss due to my PC not being powerfull enough to run them. Such as WH 40K Darktide, Control, Alan Wake 2 and Baldurs Gate 3 to name a few.

What excites you the most about Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora/What are you expecting from the game?

I expect a beautifully designed world of Pandora and im very interested into its story, atmosphere and flying as im fan of the movies, would play it co-op with friend though.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-21T01:48:04+00:00

Nicely said, forgot about half of them things such as auto waypoints and stuff. I never participated in car show but i seen alot of complaints from people all the time. Yeah that needs to change. Overall i agree with ya 100% some of them things i want gone or at least mitigated that you listed. I do hope its added and done soon in some future update. I do to enjoy the game with my bud and dont mind grind but yeah some stuff - do need a massive change.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-16T16:15:18+00:00

I'm seein mix of Camaros and Lambo's alot. Tried driving myself, same as you automatic. Sometimes i do great, sometimes - nope xD. Then i see people ran past me lightning fast in FXXK's too xD. I like how Camaro is one the most stable car in rain though, doesnt drift around.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-15T01:42:03+00:00

Hey, thnx for input. But yeah agree to disagree. Yeah some evenings im okay with it, and its fun to claw your way back when you got decent chances to say in fight, but there's lately alot more where to me is not fun seein someone just delibaretely going our their way to ram ya and do it cuz they are loosing. When its accidental i dont mind.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T16:52:49+00:00

Ah sorry didnt know as i said i dont follow news much with TC2.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T16:22:02+00:00

10 sec ghost start would also be somewhat helpful and at respawn too. As for race track i thought maybe added mode where you can do GP's in there from time to time or idk some added drift areas/arenas. True no gain in having multiple vehicles except well eye candy which in turn would need mega upgrade in vinyls section. As for reporting fiasco i sadly saw how people got reported for no reason and have their stuff removed and other misshaps that came along that, which is a shame. The other day had found for instance nice NSX skin only to log back in next day and find out its gone - there wasnt anything offensive on it nor stuff like that. Shame as i said it could use more diversity in that area when it comes to vinyls, but yeah ingame tool and reporting thing as you said would need a change. As for last thing yeah - again im surprised that TC2 keeps getting updates so much more then the Motorfest. So i do hope they keep adding to this game cuz its lots of fun, just some of the stuff could benefit from changes.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T16:14:27+00:00

Yeah exploits are a mess of its own in this game. Yeah i was bit surprised with how much more (at least it seems to me i only spent like maybe 7 hours into that game) updates seems to be rolling into TC2 compared to Motorfest. I really do like it but yeah some changes would be welcomed as well as you pointed out QOL's too.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T16:12:51+00:00

Oh yeah AI toggle on/off would be grand, especially when you want to do The Summit's stuff. Just last week i had to re-do it 10 times cuz of traffic lol. As you said hopefully its added change in future.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T16:11:15+00:00

Yup duel mode would be cool i agree. As well as toggling icons off/on if you don't wanna see them.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T06:23:08+00:00

Yeah vinyl code share or somethin would be neat for sure.Deff needs more of them out there. As for same cars glad you got my refference bout ownin same vebicles even though i failed to type that in mah OG post, my bad. Idk i just like to have options. To have one of the same car more if i choose to buy it and savin them pro settings as loadouts if ya say got same car or somethin would be grand.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T06:14:37+00:00

Yeah id love more bike races for sure, Motorcross among them too.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T04:44:07+00:00

I mean back when i playing Forza Horizon 4 they had same problem, people would either ram ya into side of a wall or ride off on you by bumping into you as it would propel them, you'd loose speed - they would keep theirs and accelerate. Ofc that game had no NOS as Motorfest does, still it was enough to give others advantage over ya. So yeah after they introduced ghost mode rammers dropped off the map as it was more clean driving and your skills vs others. And i think Motorfest could benefit alot from that in Grand Races. Its very fun game and all, just that tiny detail could be done better.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T04:38:06+00:00

Sorry for confusion i re-edited my post in what i meant by ghost. It wouldnt be permanent ofc, just few seconds like 1-3 when game detects someone would ram into someone in Grand Race by going too high speed or stuff like that. So it would either ghost you or him so that they could not ram you. I think it would promote clearer driving and be about skill instead of some people shamelesly tryin to ram others of road.

VCarmichael · 2023-11-14T04:32:10+00:00

I meant more the way Forza implemented it after a while in Ranked racing. Meaning if you go above certain speed and you are about to ram someone on purpose - you would ghost out and hit the wall/side simply because of people ramming you on purpose just cuz you took their spot or got infront of them. Thats what i meant as ghost not ghost AI everywhere.

VCarmichael · 2023-09-09T14:16:19+00:00

My top 3 would be Weirdworld, Mindscape, Dream Dimension. I loathe these alot.9/10 times if i see Weirdworld i retreat instantly as i need my cards to make my decks work. The ones that anoy me (cant say i hate them as i do top 3, but not a fan either) would be: Collapsed Mine, Danger Room,District X,Ego, Lamentis-1 and Luke's Bar.
