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.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.

      I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
