Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox PC app comparison with Steam.
Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox PC app comparison with Steam.
Interested to know if anyone ever try both and notice differences between the two,
really want to hear opinions from Forza Horizon 5 players on STEAM.
I have been playing FH4 on XBOX console for a while and getting into FH5 on PC. (As I don't do console no more)
However, as some of you may notice too, XBOX pc app is so buggy, glitchy, and kind of unstable. Even online, many people reported issues, from failing to install, to failing to launch.
Me myself, encountered some unique craps too, that I supposed, coming from the app being so full of bugs or whatever.
144hz Gigabyte 27" QHD G27Q
CPU 5600x
GPU 6800 XT
Mobo B550F Strix Gaming Wifi2
RAM 16GB 3800CL16
My issues are;
1. When launching game, the intro of this game until I got into options to get into the game, the phase before getting there, are so pixelated, like it was on 720p resolution or some sort, but it is not a big deal, because it's just the intro.
Anyone else experience this on XBOX APP for PC?
is it any different launching this from Steam? I expect Steam is a lot smoother.
2. If I open my Adrenaline's overlay before launching to get some hardware
information
,
apparently the
game will not load, and my fps will read as 1600+ fps, and I can get into the option to launch or to quit, and I have to quit, because it won't load if I continue will just stuck at loading.
Based on the second issue, I avoid opening my adrenaline's overlay, but then, if I open it inside the game, the FPS tend to show either NA, or ZERO, I know this game has in game FPS option, but I wanted thigs to work properly and I am curious, if XBOX app is really this bad and I should just buy this game from STEAM?
I am sure this is either the XBOX app or the FH on XBOX APP, because I played MOTOGP 22, NO ISSUE, yes, from XBOX app too, I play Flight Simulator, No issue too for 3 weeks, only encounter stuck at loading screen once, and for that I am not sure why, but once.
With this FH5 on XBOX app, I could always seek for what's wrong with the game / app, and will find new "wrong" things LOL.
For example, before getting into the game, if I choose to go to settings, my controller "RIGHT BUTTON" don't work, it works inside the game, once getting into the game. Or, if going to setting before starting the game, you know, the menu before "continue", my monitor sometimes read as something else instead of 144hz monitor, sometimes 120, sometimes 90hz, could be anything. Inside the game, everything works just fine apart from my adrenaline messed up not working properly (the overlay)
Thanks for reading,
and I am half of sure to just get it on Steam based on my research online, too many issue from this XBOX crap that cost a fortune (120 dollars a year in Australia).
if you obtain it from the microsoft store, you can also enjoy it on console without extra charges.
if you get it from steam, then to access the console version, you'll need the xbox game pass.
neither the microsoft nor steam versions rely on the xbox app for launching.
you can remove the xbox app if it's causing problems, and the game will still function properly.
i didn't encounter any issues with fh5.
for the msi afterburner problem, open rtss settings and set the detection level to low.
Thank you for the update, I clarified that I no longer use XBOX, sold my old one before the Series X release, and now own a PC instead of a Series X.
Still, I'm facing strange issues with the Xbox app on my PC.
It's as simple as this: all the games I installed won't launch right away. Either I have to restart the whole Xbox process in the background and Windows, or just restart my PC.
This isn't just the first problem I've noticed—I've been paying for this app for two months now, and these issues are bothering me if I end up stuck for years.
Maybe I should try removing the Xbox app from my PC, as it seems to be causing problems.
I'm not a big fan of Afterburner, but I prefer the overlay feature, and it works fine for Forza when the overlay is enabled.
I used Afterburner a few months ago for a short time, and I didn't find it as satisfying as Adrenaline.
I haven't tried RivaTuner yet.
i possess a gamepass account, several titles are installed, none require the Xbox app to run. Uninstalling the Xbox app works without issues. The Xbox Live authentication service is active, but it doesn’t launch games either—it only allows user login to Xbox Live. Games can start without it, letting you reach the main menu. If this service stops or fails, entering the world from the main menu will result in an unknown error. Games can be downloaded directly from the Microsoft Store, and the gamepass appears there. The game launches via GamingServicesUI.exe, which is a Microsoft Store UWP application. Consider repairing that app. Open PowerShell with admin privileges and run the following command to uninstall it: get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage –allusers. Then execute the reinstall command from the Microsoft Store. Access the store at start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN and no reboot is necessary.
I’m pretty sure it’s the app named Game Service UI or something similar from Microsoft that was once fixed and then I had to reinstall or repair it. I noticed people online doing the same thing when they played Microsoft games. My question is, did you need to uninstall or repair the installation after making these changes?
