Forza Horizon 5 launched with much fanfare this fall, and needless to say, millions of gamers rushed to download and install the game on their PCs and consoles.
But as we reported already, a continuously growing player base doesn’t necessarily mean everything is always as flawless as everybody expects it to be.
And in addition to the crashes encountered after the most recent update, gamers out there are also coming across various other bugs that make little sense at first glance.
This is exactly the case with this awkward glitch that way too many people are coming across these days.
Uploaded on reddit, this video shows how an otherwise smooth race turns into a, well, abruptly interrupted adventure due to what appears to be a loading issue affecting that specific section of the map.
The whole thing happened an Xbox Series X, but this doesn’t necessarily mean the glitch is exclusive to consoles. Not at all, and people on the linked discussion thread confirm it’s also taking place on PC, so at first glance, it’s not a platform-specific problem and certainly not caused by a dying HDD, as some tend to believe.
Others indicate it’s all a rendering issue caused by low bandwidth, as the game doesn’t load and render the required resources fast enough during the race. In theory, it all comes down to bad optimizations, and without a doubt, this isn’t at all good news given Forza Horizon 5 is one of the most anticipated game releases of the year.
At this point, Playground Games seems to be the only one that can help prevent such awkward bugs from happening, though it remains to be seen if any work in this regard is actually being made in the coming updates. In the meantime, there’s a lot that needs to be fixed in Forza Horizon 5, so hopefully, the game would become more polished before it’s not too late.
