Typical,Storm Island not included

But you CAN get a free Ferrari 312P if you compete in the Can Am league,and finish a week in the top 50%(running for 4 weeks)
I imagine many of the fast racers on here will do that no problem(and then you can log in on week 2,and do badly so the crap racers like me can move up the average of the league biggrin)

Storm Island was on sale a few weeks ago. Have to say I am enjoying the freedom and variety Horizon gives, although the cross country events seem a lot harder to get the proper racing line in. Maybe I'm just not used to them?

Fair play, every single car pack has been absolute rubbish.

Perhaps a car pack that will tempt you more will be the Porsche expansion,due 1st March if Amazon is to be believed.



20 cars,9 new to XB1,inc 356a & 919 Hybrid. So most likely the 12 from FH2,those 2 & the rest from FM4,although I would love to see a 917 & some earlier ones.
Plus a new track to play on

Porsche 917 seems like a logical suggestion given the other Can-Am cars.

Why does this fking game always need a fking wking fking tt of an update EVERY time I turn it on to play?! Why can't it just work for once without needing me to spend half an hour waiting!

These 'never finished' games are bullst.

They update it to add the car pack DLC into the game. So if you haven't bought the pack and you're online against someone with an Aztec, Cadillac limo, MP4/4 or whatever else the DLC is, you're not racing a load of black VW Jettas as it was before in earlier games.

The Porsche pack will definitely interest me and will definitely be bought smile

Why the fk don't you have autofkingmatic updates on in the background then you wouldn't have this fking problem, they solved this fking problem years ago.

I don't think I've ever had to update anything on Xbox One. Not even chanced upon an updating screen. It just does it itself?

Does it depend on your settings, i.e. whether it's allowed to turn off fully or sleeps for quick startup time? I get the evil update screen quite often...

I generally only play mone once or twice a week so its fully off between plays, its rare that I can turn it on and just play, then every time I use a new or not recently used app it needs an update.
as an indication of how bad it is i have used up 77% of the console memory and I only have 2 games installed!! the rest is updates for other games

I assume so. My xbox runs my living room entertainment stuff as well so is on quite a lot.

For anyone that's interested there is a community bounty hunter even for the month of February.

All details in the link - http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/FM6_Febr...

Best I can get at the minute is a 1:40:948 which is over a second off the current time needed, and I so want the Aston gift car smile
