Yeah, I got back from my trip and saw the state of the game (PC) and decided I'm just going to wait until they fix it to buy it. There are still so many people getting so many kinds of crashes and problems, it doesn't seem worth it right now.
I think it is still worth it. I spent 4 or 5 hours playing yesterday and had a couple crash to desktops, but they all happened while trying to load a track or after the race. The only thing the crashing has done to me is occasionally adding 30 seconds to loading the next race. That's it. Maybe you will have to re-do a race because of a game crash here or there, but I've never had a single problem once in a race so maybe not. It's not nothing, but it isn't like you have to walk down the same corridor, fighting the exact same baddies using the same moves every time because you crash every time you get to the end of it.
Edit: Remember that those that aren't having issues generally aren't posting online about it.

The whole rarity (and by direct association, price) system is odd to begin with. It's completely irrelevant after the first 6 hours of gameplay, and only serves to deter you from buying cars that interest you at the beginning of the game.
Not to mention that the majority of the supposed rarities of the vehicles are completely farcical at a basic level. You're telling me a 426 Hemi Daytona is only uncommon? Let me go tell the guys paying a quarter mil for one that.
Tuesday's Specialty Dealer cars:
Nissan Silvia K's Aero 1994
Porsche 911 GT3RS 4.0 2014
Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 2012
The VW bus that was supposed to be up last week (replaced by the Daytona) was pulled because they hit a problem with it. It will be back in rotation "Soon".
The pick for our Thursday's Division this week is (again, requests/suggestions are always welcome): Sport GT Icons

*rubs hands together* Alright! Let's go to the showroom and filter by these divisions which Turn 10 has put so much emphasis on by means of homologation!
So like, how does one go about defeating a field of supercars in a 125 mile race on Nurburgring while driving a Honda Civic?
There are two divisions of vehicles in the event, and you're only actually competing against the Civics for position.. You won't keep up with the Vipers and Maseratis and whatnot. The AI doesn't know how to handle the 'Ring in a FWD with that much downforce. It's a fairly easy race.
So, I broke down last night and bought a loot crate with in-game currency, just to see what I would get. For 300,000 credits, I bought the Legendary Driver Gear crate and I got a handful of mods I don't give a shit about that valued out to about 5-6K and a pink band uniform driver suit. For 300K and a crate with "Driver Gear" in the name, it should have been nothing but suits of various rarities.
I've satisfied my curiosity. Never doing that again. Those things are black holes of bullshit.

ya, I still haven't bought it yet either. First Forza came since maybe... 2 I haven't pre-ordered. I don't know, something just feels off about this one and all these issues. ugh

I opened that one and got the doctor suit and >200% rewards total in mods. I did the two suit crate and got 2 football ref suits, which auto sold the second suit for a third of the crate cost. I did the previous car one and got a 787b. I also got junk when I tried it a second time. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you don't, but I think I actually like them.
Edit: I think the main fix for them would be removing the common cars/mods/badges/driving suits from the selection pool. I do admit to feeling ripped off when those come up in those high price crates.
Also, ran through a full series without a single crash last night. Running long, AI at 80%, and 150-200% total in rewards mods is netting me about 175-200k a race.

I had similar experiences with the >50,000 credit boxes. However, the 50,000 credit mod box is absolutely worth it for getting juicy 70%+ credit mods.

Jesus Christ I finally got to drive the Renault F1 in the new Rivals event. How do people drive these things? I managed to get in a clean lap but my asshole was so puckered I was stuck to my chair the whole time. If I was jacked up on meth, I wouldn't have the reflexes to reliably drive something half as insane as that car.

The Indy cars aren't too terrible. A bit rough in first gear, but what isn't?
Any F1 car with a turbo on it from the 80s to current day is completely batshit bonkers. The first time I got into the MP4/4 it was like taking spice and seeing the future as if it was the past.
Senna and literally any other person insane enough to get behind the wheel of one, no matter what people say about the sport in its current iteration, are superhuman. It is an absurd capability.
I found the Renault to be a hell of a lot easier to drive than I expected it to be, even with traction and stability control turned off. Just be a little lighter on the gas than you think you need to be until you have enough downforce built up and you'll be good to go.
Of course, that was with just me on the track alone. I have no doubt these would be a bit more difficult with others on the track.
I wish Forza used the real hp numbers for the late 80s to early 2000s Japanese cars. We all know the Skylines(and others) made more than the 276 hp number. At least in Forza I've always felt like the R-33/34 was never as good as I wanted it to be.

I'm not sure if it's just me being awful, but I just cannot drive the Formula E cars. Just constant massive oversteer on every turn, skidding out all over the show.

Yeah, I give up trying to do multiplayer. The Xbox app will not work with my mic, I can't hear anybody regardless, and having the game crash three or four times per session isn't worth the stress. Sorry y'all.
e: tried uninstalling device drivers and reinstalling as well as setting mic/audio quality to every available level, neither of which do anything, and the only other solution i'm getting is to install new chipset drivers
Well, this is weird and throws off their usual timing, to do with the incoming Xbox One X next week... NEW PATCH (Nov. 3). PC and Xbox. It is LARGE (~5.2GB on PC, 4.8GB on Xbox).

EDIT: I pulled some notables out of the patch notes(see fully below): Default chat setting for players in a Party is now Party Chat. - THANK GOD!!!
Fixed an issue where Forza Edition cars were not granting XP or CR rewards in multiplayer races. - So not intentional.
Fixed issues for several cars when lights did not illuminate properly... - Yay! Don't have to make "Working Headlights Cars".
Fixed an issue where selecting Quit in the Multiplayer post-race screen would cause loss of engine and collision audio in the next race. - I imagine that's what's been happening?
Full Patch Notes:
November 3, 2017

Multiplayer
With new modes lighting up today, including Tag, Drag, Keep the It, and more, we’ve got more ways to enjoy Forza 7 than ever.

• Fixed an issue where Free Play Drivatar Difficulty was reset to Average if the Game Type is changed.
Split Screen

Man, there are some amazing patch notes in there. Like, how are there so many strange, car-specific bugs that aren't just aesthetic or audio? XD
But hey, they fixed the party chat thing~ No complaints.

This most recent patch has been most excellent for me in terms of stability. Not a single crash yet! I had one incident on Hockenheim where the road stopped loading, but otherwise it has been much improved.
The only strange issue I had was trying to load a bodykit preset on the Koenigsegg Agera, which would basically turn the garage and car select into purgatory.

Same here. Everything seems smoother, no menu stuttering, no malfunctioning headlights, no crashes anywhere, and load times have been markedly improved between tracks.
Also this new Abarth roadster is a hooooooooooooooooot
There is currently a windows store bug. If Forza refuses to load, go into windows store and download any free app. It seems to reset your account and gives your computer permission to use the app again.

How to kill all enthusiasm for playing Forza:
Try playing against Unbeatable AI.
Race on Daytona ever.
Introduce a new audio bug that makes the "series points trickle" SFX play LITERALLY FOREVER and only stop by quitting the game. Unfortunately, it happens 100% of the time after finishing a single player race. THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK.
I'll pick again for this week's Thursday Division until someone gives a suggestion that stops me: GT Racing Reborn
Follow the Division Homologation restrictions. Homologation rules:
Tire Compound - Stock
Tire Width - 375
Power - 625 HP
Class - R 825
The following are the cars in this division, asterisks are the cars not normally available in the store:
1989 Audi #4 Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO*
1979 BMW #6 BMW Motorsport M1 Procar
1975 BMW #25 BMW Motorsport 3.0 CSL
1979 Datsun #33 Bob Sharp Racing 280ZX Turbo
1982 Ferrari #71 Ferrari France 512 BB/LM
1982 Ferrari #72 N.A.R.T. 512 BB/LM
1981 Ford #2 Zakspeed Racing Capri Turbo
1981 Ford #55 Liqui Moly equipe Capri Turbo
1980 Lancia #31 Lancia Corse Beta Montecarlo Turbo
1991 Mazda #62 Mazda Motorsport RX-7
1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7
1994 Nissan #75 Cunningham Racing 300ZX
1984 Nissan #20 Coca-Cola Bluebird Super Silhouette* (DLC)
1978 Porsche #78 MOMO 935/78* (DLC)
I was looking for something top of S class, but the only one sitting at S800 was Exotic GT, which is a very limited selection outside of non-store cars. Still might do it next week unless something else floats up. Anyway, GT Racing Reborn looks fun, features 2 of the new DLC cars if people want to play with those and has nice FM6 SBC memories.

This is awesome news. I saw the patch notes had a lot of bug fixes and the like, now I'm looking forward to buying and installing this as soon as I have some free time :]
So far the only "crashes" I've had since the new patch is being dropped out of multiplayer back into the regular forza menus. So that is an improvement over crashing to dashboard.
Good job with that try/catch block, boys.

I think it is still worth it. I spent 4 or 5 hours playing yesterday and had a couple crash to desktops, but they all happened while trying to load a track or after the race. The only thing the crashing has done to me is occasionally adding 30 seconds to loading the next race. That's it. Maybe you will have to re-do a race because of a game crash here or there, but I've never had a single problem once in a race so maybe not. It's not nothing, but it isn't like you have to walk down the same corridor, fighting the exact same baddies using the same moves every time because you crash every time you get to the end of it.
Edit: Remember that those that aren't having issues generally aren't posting online about it.
I go to sort/filter the cars in the "Buy cars" screen and...there's no option to sort by price? WTF?
Not to mention that the majority of the supposed rarities of the vehicles are completely farcical at a basic level. You're telling me a 426 Hemi Daytona is only uncommon? Let me go tell the guys paying a quarter mil for one that.
Nissan Silvia K's Aero 1994
Porsche 911 GT3RS 4.0 2014
Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 2012
The VW bus that was supposed to be up last week (replaced by the Daytona) was pulled because they hit a problem with it. It will be back in rotation "Soon".

A nice mix, some cars with a bit (or a lot, hi D-Class Jalpa) of PI wiggle room for tuning and another division that maxes out a Class to move forward as a multipurpose car. Same deal as last Thursday.
*rubs hands together* Alright! Let's go to the showroom and filter by these divisions which Turn 10 has put so much emphasis on by means of homologation!
:rotate:
There are two divisions of vehicles in the event, and you're only actually competing against the Civics for position.. You won't keep up with the Vipers and Maseratis and whatnot. The AI doesn't know how to handle the 'Ring in a FWD with that much downforce. It's a fairly easy race.
I've satisfied my curiosity. Never doing that again. Those things are black holes of bullshit.

I opened that one and got the doctor suit and >200% rewards total in mods. I did the two suit crate and got 2 football ref suits, which auto sold the second suit for a third of the crate cost. I did the previous car one and got a 787b. I also got junk when I tried it a second time. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you don't, but I think I actually like them.
Edit: I think the main fix for them would be removing the common cars/mods/badges/driving suits from the selection pool. I do admit to feeling ripped off when those come up in those high price crates.
Also, ran through a full series without a single crash last night. Running long, AI at 80%, and 150-200% total in rewards mods is netting me about 175-200k a race.
I should probably pay better attention to things.
Addendum: Goddamn that race was fun. Nurburgring Full Circuit is love.
Green Hell is bae.
I had similar experiences with the >50,000 credit boxes. However, the 50,000 credit mod box is absolutely worth it for getting juicy 70%+ credit mods.
A) You don't
The Indy cars aren't too terrible. A bit rough in first gear, but what isn't?
Any F1 car with a turbo on it from the 80s to current day is completely batshit bonkers. The first time I got into the MP4/4 it was like taking spice and seeing the future as if it was the past.
Senna and literally any other person insane enough to get behind the wheel of one, no matter what people say about the sport in its current iteration, are superhuman. It is an absurd capability.
Of course, that was with just me on the track alone. I have no doubt these would be a bit more difficult with others on the track.

That insane 270 horsepower is just too much. :P
edit: this is a new one!
e: tried uninstalling device drivers and reinstalling as well as setting mic/audio quality to every available level, neither of which do anything, and the only other solution i'm getting is to install new chipset drivers

EDIT: I pulled some notables out of the patch notes(see fully below):
Default chat setting for players in a Party is now Party Chat. - THANK GOD!!!
Fixed an issue where Forza Edition cars were not granting XP or CR rewards in multiplayer races. - So not intentional.
Fixed issues for several cars when lights did not illuminate properly... - Yay! Don't have to make "Working Headlights Cars".
Fixed an issue where selecting Quit in the Multiplayer post-race screen would cause loss of engine and collision audio in the next race. - I imagine that's what's been happening?

Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
• Fixed an issue with the 2014 BMW M4 Forza Edition, whereby the car could drive inside other cars.
I wish I tried that thing more, lol. Seems like a good patch, certainly needed. Hopefully Forzathon comes soon.
The only strange issue I had was trying to load a bodykit preset on the Koenigsegg Agera, which would basically turn the garage and car select into purgatory.
Same here. Everything seems smoother, no menu stuttering, no malfunctioning headlights, no crashes anywhere, and load times have been markedly improved between tracks.
Also this new Abarth roadster is a hooooooooooooooooot
Try playing against Unbeatable AI.
Race on Daytona ever.
Introduce a new audio bug that makes the "series points trickle" SFX play LITERALLY FOREVER and only stop by quitting the game. Unfortunately, it happens 100% of the time after finishing a single player race. THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK.
I'll be doing something else today now~
Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?

Still might do it next week unless something else floats up. Anyway, GT Racing Reborn looks fun, features 2 of the new DLC cars if people want to play with those and has nice FM6 SBC memories.
e: for anyone wondering what the super rad thing they say you'll get for beating all of the elite events in the forza cup is
it's a forza edition ford gt and a tuxedo
th- that's it
Good job with that try/catch block, boys.
But I can't put it up for download because I didn't make the Pip-Boy on the hood or the Pipboys logo on the doors. My talent has limits.
