A much-requested feature by our players, this new HUD element helps identify when cars are in your blind spots, making it easier to avoid unintentional collisions and keep the racing clean. Car Proximity Radar can be enabled from the settings menu, where you can also choose which HUD location works best for you.
- Replay Mode: saved race replays now include a new vertical driver list to more easily select the car on focus, a new track map, HUD visibility options, and navigation improvements for mouse and keyboard users.

Bug Fixes and Improvements
PC
Developer’s Note: We have fixed an issue where shift times could be slightly different based on your PC’s FPS refresh rate. The Forza Motorsport community was extremely helpful in providing data that allowed us to home in on the problem. We had an issue in our code where our shifting state machine was not being updated in our inner-most simulation update code. We moved the shifting state machine to the inner-most (high frequency) part of our update, as well as ensuring that our high-frequency update is running at a consistent frequency across various framerates on PC. We were able to run automated benchmark code to time our cars 60-150MPH at various framerates and framerate ranges – with and without the fix – to validate the problem and the fix.
- The VRAM Estimator in PC settings has been made much more accurate. Players should review their settings after Update 9 is downloaded to verify that they’re not using too much VRAM. This is particularly true for players with GPUs that have 4-8 GB of VRAM because some settings can push usage over the limit.
- There is now an option to disable TAA completely on PC. This option is for players who prefer to use their own form of driver-level anti-aliasing. Find the new setting in the Display tab.
- Fixed a bug allowing players on PCs with poor performance to gain a time advantage over other players [1803862].
- An option to enable or disable Motion Blur in cockpit view has been added to the PC settings menu. [1723433]

- Fixed an issue with missing geometry on the track rumble strip.

Hockenheim
- Fixed an issue where the collision zone for a concrete barrier was misaligned.
- Fixed several instances of objects popping into the player’s view across various areas of the track.
- Fixed an issue where the collision zone for a rumble strip placed shortly after the start line had a chance to egregiously lift the car in an unnatural manner. [1791639]
- Updated instances of low-resolution vegetation across the track environment.
Gameplay [All Platforms]

- Fixed a crash that could occur when selecting a car in multiplayer races. [1774574]

Drivatar AI [All Platforms]
- Improved AI merging smoothly into/out of pit lanes. [1775509]
- Fixed an issue where AI would frequently go off track when alongside the player car. [1734971]

UI [All Platforms]

- Fixed an issue where car thumbnails flicker when navigating in the My Cars and Select Car menus. [1799131]
- Enabled Tire wear scalar visibility in the Fuel & Tire menu in Featured Multiplayer. [1766290]
- Fixed an issue with the “Leisure Cruise” Achievement not unlocking for some players despite meeting the criteria. [1681510]
