gaming Video Game Thread - Racing/Sim/etc

[1randomkiwi]

Thought I'd fire up a new thread to chat about the racing/simulator car games that you are currently playing - Forza, NFS, Project Cars etc

General chitchat, photos, you name it.
 

Since Forza Horizon 3 has just come out... here are a few snaps from myself and other gamers.

Show us your creations!

 

Messing around with a mate's drivitar

 

Annoying the locals:

Yeap will be picking up Horizon when it comes out. Be nice to play a Forza game on PC. The port is sounding playable which is good but i'm not holding my breath haha. 

[1randomkiwi]

I've been playing it on PC along with a few other ClubSub mates

Splashed out on the Ultimate Edition for early-access, so far so good.

The graphics and audio are stunning. Handling seems to be less arcade like than previous Horizon titles.

The only major gripe I have is the lagginess of the upgrade menus. But I'm sure they will look to improve that in the not too distant future.

Didn't realise this was coming out on PC, may have to take a look....

[chulozumo]

I'm a PS4 peasant, F*** all racing games still havnt even bought the latest dirt game 

 

Anyone else got NFS on PS4? 

[Andy_Mac]

Grid and Dirt are probably the only ones i've really bothered with on the PC. Normally only pick one up if it's on sale on Steam so am always a generation or so behind.

You need much of a beast of a computer to get the new Forza working well?

[Subru]

I only have project cars and a few other bad games. Dont play em much tho...

Sounds like GTX900 cards run it pretty well. Looks fairly well optimised.

If you want to max it out, you'll need something beefy, but in saying that, it's a very pretty game even on medium-high settings.

Has a cool optional feature where it adapts the graphics settings depending on the environment to give you a decent fps.

I'm currently running high settings at 70-80fps at 1080p on a GTX1070.

 

I play quite a few racing games on PC and both the Grid and Dirt series are high up there.
Dirt Rally is fantastic fun.

[Andy_Mac]

Yea i'm still living in the past ay. Still rocking a i5-2500k and SLI GTX580's

 

Dirt 2 is my all time favourite.

[1randomkiwi]

Mate, give Dirt Rally a go.
It's so good.

They even know about it as well!

with all the problems  looks like they released a Beta version and make you pay way too much for it

PC Specific Issues

• Some antivirus software packages cause the game to exit unexpectedly shortly after launch
• Microphones sometimes aren't being detected for ANNA on PC
• Can't start a convoy on wheel unless you create a custom wheel profile.
• Moving the mouse during races on PC causes the game to swap briefly to mouse control.
• Logitech G27 not recognised on PC.
• Thrustmaster TX Leather Edition not recognised in UI, can't save settings (PC).
• Support for all Thrustmaster TX variants to be added on PC.
• Accelerator/Decelerator deadzones don't work on PC.
• Improved Advanced Controller Options for Wheels coming to PC in our next update.
• Unable to rewind when returning to Solo from co-op and online free-roam.
• Club member status doesn't update unless you reboot.
• Visual vehicle upgrades occasionally don't apply without a reboot.
• Racing line can disappear when saving settings on PC.
• Visible pop-in of objects when switching to/from cockpit camera for the first time on AMD cards.
• FPS can fluctuate when running unlocked on PC.
• Players may see the "Failed to open a connection. Check if your network allows IPSEC connections, and try again." error. This issue can happen after suspending or when trying to quickly reconnect to a server previously connected to.
• If seeing QoS failures, verify port 3075 unblocked for UDP traffic in their router firewall.
• PC players must have the Windows firewall enabled in order to play online.
• Logitech G29 PlayStation wheel UI button prompts are incorrect.
• Logitech MOMO can't access events without using a keyboard.
• Controller hot-swapping will come in a future update, which will improve the experience on Wheel since you will be able to swap to the pad for photo mode etc.

Mine kinda works but is only generic and can't change settings. Change gears use clutch and force feedback is S***!

[1randomkiwi]

Change from manual with clutch to manual or auto in the difficulty settings.

Force feedback is a bit meh. I've started using my 360 controller, primarly because it's how I've played all the Forza titles in the past.

[Bluntman]

Ugh Don't have an xbox only ps3 waiting for the real racing sim  to come out on the PS4 GT Sport once it is out I will purchase.

I've had a crack at Forza series but I don't like them imho pretty colours dont make a good racing game  and don't even get me started on that abomination of a game called NFS

[Joker]

PSN fo' lyfe
