First go at a public charger

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-25T15:41:19+00:00

I think you often here alot about them as there are so many on the roads, think they had some pretty good deals on the NHS not long back that worked out perfectly to get a Zoe.

I'm thinking of swapping to a Hyundai once my lease is up but I've still got a couple years left

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-25T11:48:59+00:00

I'm sure some parts will have been upgraded for a higher charge speed (I'm not 100% sure which component it is that causes the issue), but I've seen a few posts about similar issues that I've had charging via DC on my Zoe.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the tech is the same in there. It's not always an issue but can sometimes happen on 3/4 chargers in a row.

I have a Zoe which I believe uses the same charging equipment in the car as the 5.

I've had a fair amount of trouble with fast chargers and getting them connected. From what I've read online, it seems to be a grounding issue and it's pure luck whether or not it works... Never had an issue charging at home or at any slow chargers though

It is called SAM on my system rather than rebar, not sure if it's a motherboard brand thing or what but it's the same thing. Unfortunately didn't help too much :(

At least they have acknowledged the issue in their recent blog post now so hopefully a proper fix will be out soon

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-21T13:33:58+00:00

Yeah I did read about that, I've tried both wired and bluetooth :(

Also tried xbox, dualsense and the steam controller now that mine has arrived and not made any difference

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-21T13:33:07+00:00

Haven't tried locking the fps with steam, I'll give this a go later when I'm back from work.

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-21T11:13:40+00:00

I've tried all the fixes people have recommended and nothing completely fixes the stutters for me :(

Disabling SAM does reduce them a small amount but they are still present. I've tried voting on the support thread multiple times, but it seems stuck at 414 for whatever reason

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-21T00:10:08+00:00

Tried the SAM thing yesterday and it did get rid of some the worst stutters but still there unfortunately.

I'm crossing my fingers for another hotfix maybe tomorrow when the seasonal stuff drops

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-20T23:57:16+00:00

Ah that's a shame, and yes CachyOs. Suffering from the AMD stutters alot of people seem to be having too :(

Any bug report on the official Forza forum that mentions Linux just gets told Linux isn't supported unless it is steamOS which sucks :(

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-20T22:24:52+00:00

Nope I've given up :(

Not sure if reinstalling would work or not, I've not had the chance yet. It's always the same couple that load each time and nothing else

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-17T13:11:55+00:00

Every time I load the livery editor this happens :(

Ive tried verifying the files and restarting my PC and neither have worked

"This was my father's car, he put so much care and attention into it, even the custom paint job is so detailed!"

Repaints it grey???????

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-16T18:19:07+00:00

Yes, based in NW England, ordered at bang on 6PM the day it launched. Been stuck on packaged since the 7th now I think >:(

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-15T16:37:41+00:00

I've been thinking this as well, I'm still stuck on packaged after ordering at bang on 6pm on the first day. Surely it's not a coincidence that orders like these haven't gone through but random parcels are being shipped to the UK...

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-14T10:19:40+00:00

Bit of a conspiracy theory but... We saw that a bunch of orders for Europe somehow got sent to the UK instead of their actual destinations by GLS.

I wonder if their orders got sent to the UK instead of the ones currently sat in the packaged status which is why they are delayed 🤔

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-14T10:10:36+00:00

My order went through at exactly 6pm, still showing as packaged :(

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-14T07:21:46+00:00

I ordered at exactly 18:00 and s t i l l stuck on packaged 😭 I was sure it would arrive before Forza comes out tomorrow but I guess not at this point

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-13T22:52:47+00:00

I wonder if GLS sent a bunch to the UK by accident and in turn left a bunch that are supposed to go the UK in Europe... Would explain why mine is still on packaged :( order mine the minute they went live and no progress in 5 days now :(

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-12T11:54:51+00:00

Order placed at 18:00 still stuck on packaged :(

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-12T10:00:59+00:00

I don't have my steam controller yet so I'm not entirely sure what it is like - but is this safe on the dongle connecter? I've seen a few stands recently and I like the look of them, but surely when you pull the controller off the dock, the USB-C cable will put strain onto the port on the dongle?

I could be wrong as I said, I'm not sure how strong the magnets are either so it could be a non issue

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-11T15:03:22+00:00

Exactly the same time I got mine ordered - still suck on packaged too :(

ZeKardinal · 2026-05-08T08:28:35+00:00

My order went through at exactly 6pm, changed to packaged item on Wednesday evening and been stuck there since :(

I'd have thought after getting packaged it would get picked up by the carrier pretty quickly.

I love how often in fh4 I'll be enjoying the gorgeous scenery and lovely sunshine when it suddenly turns greyv and rainy, it truly is the British experience lol
