There’s no better way to celebrate the Grit Reaper’s love of late-night rally racing. [h3]Game Fixes & Release Notes[/h3] The latest Forza Horizon 5 update will be available to download on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs though the Microsoft Store and Steam from Tuesday, March 28 – one day before the release of Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure. To begin your expedition in Sierra Nueva, you’ll need to download both the upcoming series update and the expansion once it’s available starting at 11am PT on Wednesday, March 29. Looking ahead, the Midnights at Horizon series begins in-game on Thursday, March 30.

Here’s a look at some of the most notable improvements you can look forward to upon downloading the update: [list][*]We’ve fixed the black windows that appear on car thumbnails in the car selection menu. While this won’t retroactively apply to existing thumbnails, these can be regenerated yourself by modifying the car with either a new color, livery or tuning parts. [*]Fixed an issue in the Las Afueras Street Race upon resetting the car after missing a specific checkpoint. [*]Daily Wheelspins from the Hotel Castillo Player House are now consistently rewarded every day. [*]An issue that prevented players from using d-pad menus after the Convoy host disconnects while loading into a race has been fixed. [*]We’ve made improvements to alleviate the crash rate for head-to-head races in The Eliminator and Free Roam. [*]Players could generate excess accolade points offline that contributed to the Hall of Fame leaderboard by repeating timed accolade challenges. This has been fixed. [*]The number of target photos for Horizon Promo has been corrected. [*]An issue that caused cars to not rev past 3000 RPM when shifting from first gear to reverse, or from reverse to first gear, has been fixed. [*]A PC-specific issue that caused the game to crash if the display was not connected to the primary graphics card has been resolved.[/list][url= https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/sections/4408834302355-Release-Notes-and-Known-Issues]You can find the full list of fixes in our release notes[/url], which will be published once the update has been released.[url= https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409616884883-FH5-Known-Issues]Click here to see a list of the issues that we’re currently investigating[/url]. You can also report any bugs that you’re encountering in Forza Horizon 5 over on [url= https://forza.net/news/troubleshooting-hub]our recently launched Troubleshooting Hub, an issues tracker available on the Forza Forums[/url]. [h3]Anti-Lag & Launch Control[/h3] Visit the Tuning & Upgrades menu at any Horizon Festival Outpost or Player House to fit the new anti-lag system to your favorite cars. This feature is available to all vehicles with a turbocharged engine and delivers more power while producing awesome flame effects and fire-cracker audio. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/7568a7cdf129d57135a846e5a76fb01908bdf4c9.jpg[/img] If you’re unable to locate anti-lag in the engine options, double check that your car has already been fitted with a turbocharger as it will not appear otherwise. In addition, Launch Control has been added as a new assist option that can be toggled on or off. Whether you’re using it for Horizon Rally or Drag Racing, there’s no better way to achieve that perfect start off the line. [h3](Console only) Steering Wheel Rotation Support[/h3] Players who use a wheel in Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One have a selection of new options to customize: [list][*][b]Steering Rotation[/b] – This sets the range of steering degrees of rotation on your wheel device but does not affect the Steering Lock. [*][b]Steering Lock Multiplier[/b] – This sets the angle formed by the front of the vehicle and the direction of front tires at maximum steering angle. The lower this value, the lower the angle will be. [*][b]Steering Speed Sensitivity[/b] – This sets the amount of Steering Lock of the car with speed. Lower value will provide a lower steering lock at high speed. By default (1.0) the steering lock does not change with speed. [/list][h3](PC only) NVIDIA DLSS 3 & Reflex[/h3] PC players using NVIDIA RTX 40 Series GPUs can boost their Forza Horizon 5 framerates to new heights by enabling DLSS 3.0. This feature allows for silky smooth gameplay with over 120 FPS at 4K. Check out the benchmarks below for DLSS 3.0 performance at 4K and 1440p resolutions on RTX 40 Series GPUs. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/ae62c97e17495f06197037ba15a2a2bb964b37e0.png[/img] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/c8cf812f275ba8ee01055d3995a484604243caf1.png[/img] For players looking to reduce system latency and improve overall responsiveness, NVIDIA Reflex will also be added as an option on GeForce GTX 900 and higher NVIDIA graphics cards. [h3]Tire Profile Size[/h3] Tire Profile Size is being introduced for the off-road vehicles listed below, which includes buggies, trucks and performance SUVs. This option can be enabled on every tire compound, allowing players to increase the height of tires to maximize the available wheel arch space. As tire height is a component in gearing, the PI of the vehicle will increase while the gearing becomes “taller.” Increasing the tire height also raises the car’s ride height, giving more ground clearance. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/87d47f7c1cfd09c1928ed1ba77cf2921b84dcf7d.jpg[/img] All players can utilize this feature regardless of owning Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure. Some vehicles that support it are only obtainable in the expansion or were released in previous series updates or the Car Pass. Those cars have been marked with an asterisk.

This abandoned airfield will also be covered in brightly lit neon-infused decorations, while neon barriers and structures will be seen in race events throughout the series. Extended night-time and neon decorations will be visible in the open world for a limited time, from March 30 until April 27. [h3]EventLab Rally & Neon Props[/h3] The EventLab Blueprint Builder expands with 26 new Rally props, available to all players regardless of whether they own Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/d2b062c206b251fe2415f43ab2494d0ae9bdb189.jpg[/img] These structures can be found in the Rally tab and include the Horizon Rally Helicopter, as well as rally trucks, caravans, rally flags, tents, barriers, rally chasers, caravans, a metal shed, a water tank, a gantry, and a rally brick wall that features nodes for snap functionality. Creators can place these objects in all map locations including Mexico, Hot Wheels Park and Sierra Nueva. In addition, we’re adding 5 Neon Lights and 3 Googly Eye props under the Decoration category, while the 3D Neon Horizon Cube Collectible has been added to the Gameplay tab.

These will include a Seasonal Championship and PR Stunt set in Sierra Nueva and are unlocked by winning the Horizon Badlands Goliath. While completion of these events contributes points to your Festival Playlist completion, they are not required to unlock new reward cars, earn “Gold” on a series or unlock the “Min, Meet Max” achievement. Furthermore, non-expansion owners will not feel increased difficulty in unlocking new series reward cars, as their points requirements remain the same as before.
