So, is no-one going to address Fortune Island? All seasonal Championships and the seasonal Trial have been reset. Did that only happen to me, because i started on Fortune Island into the new Season?
The problem is, 4 weeks ago i had a horrible time trying to complete the "Hyper, Hyper"-Trial. I managed to complete it back then, but i am not going to do it again this time, if in 4 weeks the trial will be reset again. I will replay the normal seasonal champisonships, but i will only do the Trial again if it will shop up as completed (with Gold) and will never be reset again.

The championships are 'new' each season. Do it again if you want the reward. If you don't want the reward then don't mess with it.

You will find enough threads here on the forum, where people were complaining about seasonal Championships on Fortune Island being already completed. This had been the case for me for many Seasons. This is the first season/time for me where the seasonal Championships got reset. So, no, they were not showing up as "new" each and every season.

My progression for the "drive 20 miles" Challenge doesnt work too. Im on PC. Any suggestions. If i cant finish it i wont be able to get the AMG GT which really sucks.
Thx

The Cobra is not an "exclusive", it's sold in the Auction House.

Lock your framerate to 30 and experience the power of (almost) cinematic gaming. It does help me every time the game refuses to count the miles i have driven. I know, it sounds like a joke, but unfortunately it isn't.

There is something like 10 cars in total where dont have race springs as option.

I play with one s so i dont have change to use quality mode so im not able to complete weekly forzathon because im not gonna spend hours driving back and forth hoping getting some progress (in first time i spent driving 20 minutes without getting any progress) And i agree that PG should stop pushing these challenges because they dont work, i dont have issue getting 3 million car (and i allready own one) but imagine some guy who dont have lots of credits spending 3 million in car and then not able to finnish weekly forzathon is really bad feeling.

Switching to quality mode works on xbox, i was playing on pc and again wouldn't count anything, switched it to lowest fps (36) and it started work so if on pc might try to lower the fps lowest possible.

Looks horrible such a low frame rate but at least got it done.

I hear ya, man. Not really big on drifting, and not all that interested in learning it. I'm able to get by in FM7 Forzathon challenges, but haven't been able to get 3 stars on a single drift zone in FH3 or 4. I'd much rather go around a corner the normal way.



Yeah, sounds like they maybe fixed a bug, rather than reset anything. Or, the bug just wasn't triggered. Happens on the mainland sometimes too.

Okay, that means, just to be sure, it normally happends every time a season is "repeated" on Fortune Island, that seasonal Championships and the Trial are marked as new. The thing is, with the seasonal championships staying completed for me, it gave me a feeling that i had completed Fortune Island. But now, it feels like i "lost" progress.

drifting now is broken for me. i can be going around a corner. nothing in the zone for it. i notice this when i started to play the game last year. every update kept narrow the area to drift in.
ok the champ am coming in dead last. which i was not before. cars by the time i off the line are already a mile ahead of me. and their rubber banding hard in front of me.
i should note i have alpha firmware from big m themselves for testing.

I can confirm the "30 fps mode", at least for PC users

the only thing works on PC to complete this another stupid bugged "drive XX miles/kms" challenge is locking game to 30 fps at nvidia control panel in vsync tab

Thanks to all for the 30 fps lock tip. I will give it a try tomorrow.
This is really weird.

Edit : I tried this today and it works.

Worked for XBOX One X. Switched the Quality and it started counting.

Am I the only one having trouble with the community event? I swear I have spent 2 (insert expletive here) hours and more than 500 rewind only to come in 2nd. I have tried with 3 cars ranging from low 800s to 900 and still not even close. Any tips?

I found that this is completed by racing ( at least it was for the last time) as well as simply changing your damage / tire wear settings to simulation. Try those?

The championships are just timed events built from a common 'template' I guess, for lack of a better term. The template would have things like eligible cars, tracks, season, weather conditions, and such. Sometimes they reuse these templates for the new season. It doesn't mean you've done it, or haven't done it. it just means they're recycling content because it's sometimes faster and easier than making a new one. It was just more noticeable on Fortune Island, because they had fewer templates than they have for the mainland.

The problem is, that there is a bug that can sometimes pop up in these reused templates, where if you did that championship previously, it shows that you've already got the top prize. This is a problem, because even if you do the championship again, and win, you won't be able to claim the prize, because the game thinks you've already done it. It's not supposed to do that, in fact, it prevents you from claiming your first place prize. You're supposed to be able to do the championships again if you want to, and get your wheelspin or whatever. So you haven't lost any progress. You just have an opportunity to get the prize again.

If they fixed it, then even better. But if not, then you can reboot your console, which sometimes clears the bug, and lets you claim your prize.

Drivertar difficulty on "expert"?

I recommend the Hoonigan RS200 tuned to S900 for this event. It's compact, light and very nimble. Very useful traits for the first track.

I used the 2016 Subaru #199 WRX STi VT15R Rally Car with this tune. The relatively high top speed helps with the straights in the second race. I'm not entirely sure how valuable this tip is, as I have reason to believe I'm good at offroading in this game in general, and didn't have any trouble winning Mountain Attack (the first race of the championship) on Expert with a perfectly bone stock 2017 #14 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing GRC Fiesta.

These two tracks are relatively more challenging when compared to non-community Dirt tracks designed by the devs.

I use hoonigan RS200 also, i mess up in start so it have bit extra work to reach first place but handling of that car make it mutch easier.

In second race there are few shortcuts what make that easier (damn checkpoint placement for that race was terrible).

Excellent! Another chance to get:
* Hoonicorn V2
* Twin Mills
* Crown Victoria

Just please fix the lights on the Crown Vic.

The Trial was actually pretty good this week. I managed to get ahead of the AI. At least until I got shoved out of a checkpoint by a griefer in one race. Even then, I managed to score points. I actually feel like I contributed something to the win.

A new bug! The Forzathon shop doesn't say OWNED anymore even though I have the cars. Just a small bug, but why are we getting new bugs each fix?

Shows owned for me.
