Must be Londoners :p

 

Either way the glow is way way to big and not something you generally see in Europe, especially in the Mediterranean ocean and mountains.

 

Even though you're right, i feel duty bound to stick up for my kinsmen! :p

how are you guys doing on the wheelspin? aside from the 75K i got on one of my first ones, ive been constantly getting low prizes, even with the perk :/

When you get the next level up, you get the wheelspin to claim the free car/credit.

Play around some more and you will understand how it works and you get used to it.

The spin is RNG sometimes you get crap, sometimes mid and rarely top.

 

Ive gotten the car I mentioned before, a Diablo or Harahan, and a 100k cash price, and a lot of crap. Now I just spent some time online and have whole lot of spins to do :D


the spin is completely random though, you could win the top car on your first spin, or never.

Phew, I was really starting to get worried there, as when I first fired up the game earlier today, there was still nothing.

About 3 minutes later a message popped up that I had 11 new messages.

1 of them was my 300,000 credits, 3 of them were cars thanks to Forza Rewards, and the rest were related to the Neowin Club. (Y)

 

I then picked up the VIP pass now just to get that 2x acceleration. I do wish when you get a pack like that, the 5 cars that come with it would just automatically go to My Cars. Having to download them one by one is pretty damn annoying, unless of course something did not work as it was supposed to again?

The cars have auto downloaded for me, the dlc that is. 

 

The gifts cars you get in the mail have always worked like that, you need to click each mail to "download" it to your garage. 

This is the 5 VIP cars and I never got an email about them in game, so perhaps that is why?

They showed up under one car packs as purchased for me and I even clicked each one from the car pack and they were just showing up as $0 and nothing was happening.

I then went to My Cars and they were nowhere to be seen.

The only way I could get them to My Cars was to go to the auto room and manually search through all the cars. I even tried filtering by owned but then they disappeared.

It was not until I chose each car individually and downloaded it individually that they eventually showed up.

 

If this is not how it is supposed to work, they need to fix whatever is making them work like this.

And I did quit the game completely. Twice actually, hoping it would fix the issue.

 

The reason that leads me to believe they were working the way they were supposed to work is tonight was actually the first time I was seeing leaderboards when I was completing objectives (like smashing boards, finding roads, etc.), so that was working for me now while it was not the previous times I played the game.

 

I did read some people saying they were having similar issues with a certain version of the preview program. My console never auto updated as I had a power outage about a week ago so it was not in standby mode and just updated to the latest OS version the day FH2 came out. So the one thing we all had in common is we had not turned on our XBox One in the past week.

Ah, the only cars you get directly into your garage are the mail gifts, and they are just that gifts handed out by turn 10 staff(ish). the bonus cars you have to buy for free. never had a problem buying the 0 credit cars myself though.

I did not have a problem per say, the only problem I had is downloading them individually. I think if you get a Car Pack, that whole pack should just go into your My Cars automatically, and if you do not want them for any reason, you could store them, etc. Just seems like more of a manual process than it needs to be. I see how people would want it the way it is as they enjoy the process of looking at each car, etc. I do not really, and just want to get down to the racing.

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By fishnet37222 · Posted

      It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
