When it doesn't have any issues, this game is amazing, I would easily say it's my favourite game in the world.. BUT... it has so so many problems on PC

First off I recently had to change my OS drive SSD (totally irrelevant drive to the one FH4 runs / is installed on) and it reset all my progress, I had a little over 700 hours at the time and it removed all aprox 800 cars I owned, cosmetics, influence, credits ect

The game also has major issues with overlays being enabled, I would crash constantly whenever I went into a house or festival, disabled both Steam Overlay and AMD Adrenaline, it seemed to fix it... for about an hour, now it is back to normal, its a dice roll going to modify a car because I never know if it will crash or not

For some reason it has also caused blue screens of death on 2 occasions, not even the BSOD would tell me why

Both FH4 and FH5 have issues with AMD GPUs as well, I used to use a GTX 970 and had poorer performance overall but not as many random crash issues, since switching to my Radeon 590 FB, it has had a lot of issues, I thought I fixed them when I used driver uninstalling software to get rid of old Nvidia drives but it persists on FH4 and FH5, not as badly granted but it still has issues where there should be none

My final point is, if a company as big as Microsoft / XBOX want to add their games to PC, they should make their games work properly first instead of just saying "that'll do" at the end of the work day, the effort put into making this compatible with PCs is honestly pathetic, I absolutely love the game when it has no issues, I could easily spend 12 hours a day playing it and through Covid, I did on some days but for some reason, this game does not want to behave properly

Further more if anyone knows ways of fixing the issues I am having please say because I want to keep playing but this is just ruining the experience of Forza
