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.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By ShadeOfBlue · Posted

      There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
