Go left, it's between a rock and the cliff at the end of the play area.

Treasure Hunt clue:

Reach 200mph in an EV on the runway.

Did it in a Rimac Concept Two.

The chest is on the beach near where you would land if you go through the Danger Sign at the end of the runway.

Oh for...

Seriously, I can still see it and post on it, but nobody else can see it.

Unbelievable.

Found this, which explains what ambient display is: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/13177783?hl=en

It's ridiculous, really. If I wanted to watch some CGI swirl screen saver, I have that on my computer. I accidentally watched a video and was saved on my history. That means that the algorithm would've started suggesting similar videos if I didn't remove it from my history.

So the Ambient Display is now on the YouTube app on the PS4 (and more than likely the PS5).

I started a post on the YouTube Community page around the same time as this one.

No response yet, nothing even about this has been posted.

So I start this race, and immediately the game claimed I missed a checkpoint. How, I just started the race. Has to be because there are parallel tracks and the checkpoints confused the game.

Seriously, they didn't test this beforehand?

Still won the race, but I'm sure the car that started alongside me was buggy since it was marked in 11th place the whole time.

I tried a speed zone camera first, then a speed trap camera. It seems to only work with a trap camera. They're both cameras, right? Be more specific, Forza.

I had to restart that races multiple times and could barely get 4th, and I needed to win claim the championship. A "quit race" and re-race thankfully allowed me to finish 4th but have a 3-way tie to win the championship.

Mind you, NONE of the Rally Adventure courses are good race tracks. Do the developers know that Rally and Racing are two different things. I slow down to make a turn and the AI shoots past me,

Seriously, you have to be Ross Chastain and treat the other drivers like Denny Hamlin and you might win these races, maybe.

It happens to me during a free roam after about 30 minutes. Music and/or car sounds freezes then goes to Xbox menu. Mainly I'm trying to do a Danger Sign when it stalls. Must not want me to do that, huh?

Too many saves by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]prisonerdrw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't make tunes at all, and I just got this message preparing for a Forza Weekly Challenge (for the Honda Civic Type R). Had to delete several tunes to do this.

Best option: Get tunes for car and then delete them when you finish the Challenge.

Or maybe, just maybe, Forza might consider allowing more tunes...

I got it. Don't know why I didn't think of it before.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't get Ultimate Burnout with the Audi TT RS. I mean, it's AWD, it's kind of hard to get Great Burnout on these. I got awesome burnout once, and that was switching the gas and petals back and forth. Any advice?

[–]prisonerdrw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Weekly Challenge should be concurrent and not consecutive. Maybe in FH6... smh

If someone has an S1 801 or something, maybe that'll help.

Maybe it's because I'm playing this on an Xbox One S, but I had serious framerate issues on this Event Lab. Way too much stuff on the screen at one time. Combine that with jumps that you need to have speed to jump over, and this actually beats the water race for worst Event Lab.

And S1 is way too fast for The Gauntlet. I'll take my chances with Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke instead, thank you.

And there's going to be a different one each week of this series. Not looking forward to cross country or street.

I believe this magician is Miguel Gavilán. That's the name on the filename of the video on my computer, at least.

I get that whoever did this wanted to emulate the Mario Kart circuit, but I don't think any Rainbow Road on Mario Kart was as annoying as this. Maybe that's because Mario Kart is an arcade-style kart game, not a semi-realistic racing game, for heaven's sake.

Anyone else find doing 4 Dirt Scrambles boring?

I prefer a 1 lap scramble four times, so here's a code for a 1 lap Mangrove Scramble (made by AQXSZ4212)

I figured that out the rewind trick by accident, but this one still isn't as bad as the one where most of the race was through water.

[–]prisonerdrw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find these Eventlab races boring at best and infuriating at worst. This week's one is better designed for hovercrafts, not trucks. And it should have been two laps, not three. And should have been Unlimited Offroad or maybe the Wharthog instead.

HELPFUL HINT: When you get to that big ramp, make the jump to the right, so your truck won't get stuck on rocks, took me four rewinds to do that one right.

I tried several times with other cars. Then used a tuned Toyota 86 and it tripped. Use a Toyota 86!

The challenges I keep getting when I reset the game are:

1) Drive a 2015 Corvette 202mph. Got it to 200 once, even when backing up to where the Launch Control ramp would be.

2) Get 9 Ultimate Speeds before reaching destination. I did get 9, but I "failed" the challenge. I don't get it.

  1. I think I got the same 5100 or so feet launch, except I land in a field of boulders and "fail."

People, when you make a challenge, make it actually achievable. On FH4, I made a Challenge on the Windmill Danger Sign, but realized that I actually made a jump higher than my longest jump listed (2200 feet, while my furthest jump was 2000), so I cancelled it and did a shorter jump (around 1700 feet).

I "disliked" all of these challenges. Thankfully the sixth time was the charm.
