Hmmm so I didn't get any of the VIP stuff yesterday, on todays first wheelspin I notice I get a VIP bonus I didn't get on any of yesterdays.

 

Unable to invite anyone to the club right now, the club overview is giving unknown error.

 

But anyone who's my friend should find the club by looking for friends club when the game gets to the join a club stage, or just search for club Neowin or tag Neo


Also if anyone figures out the airport discount board. Double tap the guide and click x or say record this ###### ;)

Also just for information, if you challenge a drivatar on the road, the course doesn't have any checkpoints, I'm sure you guys can figure out why that can be... beneficial...

 

I thought that was the point? When challenging cars in the previous game, you'd be given an end point and that was it. With this game being more open world (you can drive pretty much everywhere) you're encouraged to take the car off road.

Makes it easy to win when you can drive a quarter of the distance ;)

 

Also, I get it's a road trip, but I'm not taking that route...

Yeah it does seem a bit strange, I guess you can't implement checkpoints without taking away from the freedom, but then as you said you potentially lose half the race.

 

Also pics seems to be broken...

How do I access the DLC cars? Pre-order bonus and Launch Day car pack, if that makes a difference.

They were under Garage or My Cars for me, forget which one, I then just had to activate them through the game.

The advert for this was on tv last night, i gota say GT6 has a lot to live up to.

 

GT6 or GT7? GT can't hold a candle to Forza anymore. It's one instant where Microsoft has put the money in to get it done right. 

 

This game is the BEST fun I've had on next gen so far.

Activate them how? I'm at work but don't remember seeing them in either place, just 2 cars.

From the pause menu there was a marketplace area. I went there and was had to download, which is what I meant by activate, each pack, even though I had redeemed the code before I even launched the game. It then did a quick little download, and that is when the cars then showed up under cars I owned.

It made no sense at all to be honest and seemed ass backwards, but that is what worked to get the game to recognize I owned those packs. It was showing the cars as costing $0 as mentioned above, but that did not matter until I went to the marketplace and downloaded them.

I think it is safe to say they are having some odd things happen due to launch on the servers, as they should have just been recognized as soon as I launched the game, especially since as I pointed out I downloaded them first thing.

Thank you very much for clarification. I'll try this when I get home. I appreciate it.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
