so ok Custom Racing in Horizon Open was one big thing… but don’t know who asked for badges…
when the badges came to FH4 it took another 4 month or so to get them fixed and working…
anyway
for people don’t like to play horizon open the update is kind of underwhelming.

imho basic fixes still not arrived - instead of badges I had done some basic fixes.
I wonder how many updates it will take to fix the black stairs on the ruins here and there.
Wheelusers still ignored…
and the freezes like in eliminator…
and the lighting at tunnels and cockpitcam…
UI QoL - for example still have to switch between gift car list and regular carlist when I go through my cars to gift and delete my doubles… in the giftcarlist its not possible to delete a car and in the regular carlist its not possible to gift a car…
why there are two lists?
still no filter for double cars, still not possible to sort for recently added cars in the giftcarlist
etc…
ending up in deleting all doubles instead of gifting the good ones…

well, and nice to hear in the livestream that some devs are busy playing GT7…
but yeah…
the AI-Train arrives at finishline glitched into each other like maturecontent…

happy drifting,
CJ
