Where's My Forza Motorsport 3 Limited Collector's Edition Theme?

If you've purchased the Forza 3 LCE, you probably know by now that the LIVE Marketplace download token did not include the LCE theme as promised on the package. We sincerely apologize for the mix-up. That said, we sent out a message to the inboxes (yes, your little mailbox in Forza 3) of all LCE owners explaining how to redeem their LCE themes. If you're a Forza 3 LCE owner and have yet to receive your theme, please boot up Forza 3 and press the Left Trigger to check your Message Center inbox for instructions on how to download your theme.

Couple issues I have -

- I notice that sometimes when cross over the finish line and do a new lap, it automatically penalises you and gives you a ! next to your time. Annoys me unless it's something I am missing

-Shadows on cars disappear a lot. Don't show up at all in Rear View Mirror

-Textures don't load sometimes. Especially the start of the race with all the signs, just a blurry mess.

-When I choose to restart the race, please instantly go back to the start and not a menu then select start race again, waste so much time!

Some other points I can't come up with.

I seem to be levelling up like there is no tomorrow too. On level 30 already :s

1. If you have been penalized a certain distance or time in front of the start line, your next lap will be invalid. it's logical, and done to prevent people using other cars or cutting corners in front of the finish line to get a faster start than they should.

2.I never really notice this shadow issue, I've tried after someone else mentioend it, but I just haven't seen it fron or rear.

3. I've never seen this either.

4. I prefer it the way it is. that way I can finetune any setup I forgot to do, or hire my personal tame race driver, in case I hit A to fast and accidentally started the race. And just going to the start would take just as long as it would have to load the same stuff, you'd only save the time it takes you to hit A :p

The only real problem I have is that I prefer the Forza 2 race selection where I could pick any race I wanted. Actually I would have preffered a hybrid between the two. where it only showed races for the car type I want or races in a certain race type I want. instead of 3 semi random races wich is only descbired with a name an icon.

oh yeah and I want to be able to edit a sensitivity curve for the analog stick. so I could take long turns with the pad and avoid having to hook up the wheel a bit longer. I really like playing just casually laid back in the sofa. not really possible with the wheel :p

But isnt that what the Event list does, it highlights in green the races you can pick due to your car, light blue = you have a car in your garage that is qualified. Only missing is filtering those races, but they are in blocks of Grade, so starting from Left = F, then E etc.

Point 1 - You've totally mis-read my point. I said the moment the clock starts 0.00.00 on a new lap, it penalises it for no reason. Happens a fair few times now, I am definitely not doing anything wrong.

Point 2- You're telling me that you do see shadows on cars in your rear view mirror?

Point 3- I play off the HDD so that maybe why. Seems to happen more the more I play.

Point 4- I guess so.

Also, when hiring a driver, it doesn;t add to your XP? I am sure Forza 2 did. You see the driver take 50% but what happens to the rest, seems to be discarded.

I forgot to answer lol.. It's Benchmark on Layout A. (Y).

For that do you have to install Disc 2? Is it in the career mode area or only in free play?

I just finally picked up the game and I'm having a blast. Just swapped in a RB26DETT into my Silvia S14 and it sounds exactly like the RB26 does in real life :D I love this game lol

I installed the game onto my HDD, and the loading times aren't that bad to be honest.

      Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
