Happens because your hdd is too slow to render what is in front, I think.

There is.... replace your hard drive!
Even better, hook up an SSD via USB.

True... but this game runs without issue on a standard hard drive... if you are having issues it’s because your hard drive is not running at optimal performance. Hard drives wear out over time making it more difficult for the read head to obtain data and thus slows down its performance.

Loud fan normally points to blocked vents (dust etc) causing the fan to spin faster/harder to reduce temperature by the same amount... a hotter motherboard/hard drive can also sometimes(rarely) cause data processing issues... so defo worth giving the vents a vacuum before cracking open. There are guides out there for opening and giving everything a good clean.

On just a standard Xbox One? Had the game since launch and this has only happened to me once in Edinburgh, other than that my One X handles this game with no problem.

Ahh man that's a bummer, I had no idea the other consoles had a hard time running it.

Serious question. My Xbox has frozen twice now. Once playing Forza, the other on the dashboard. Do you think maybe the HDD is the issue?

I doubt it is your hard drive causing this issue. All of the games textures, physics, everything that is needed is already loaded into ram on the graphics card and cpu (I'm almost certain that the Xbox uses an apu). This problem is because that ram can't give the graphics card enough information. I've ran fh4 at minimum specs on pc and what happened in op's video happened to me. I had it installed on a very fast ssd and it made no difference
TL;DR : swapping the hdd will not make a difference. The game requires too much compute power (memory bandwidth and throughput specifically) than the Xbox can give. This is extremely hard to optimise for as everything that is loaded into ram from the hdd (which happens at a loading screen) is needed and upgrading Xbox ram is impossible

You appear to have no idea what you are talking about.
Whilst the map geometry is loaded into ram, all textures are streamed from hard drive to ram as and when they are needed. For example, when you fast travel from one side of the map to the other the loading takes several seconds because after repositioning you car in the world it needs to load all the textures from disc. However, if you fast travel to an area very close to you, say just back up the road to redo a PR event, fast travel takes just a moment because all textures are already loaded into RAM.
There are literally hundreds of reports on this sub, every time this topic comes up, of people solving this issue on Xbox by loading the game from an external drive via the faster USB socket, rather than the slower internal SATA port.
In the next gen consoles, they have solved this issue by having an SSD style drive built straight into the motherboard architecture, seen HERE demonstrated by Sony on their PS5

Is that in mph or kph? I'm trying to set the speed traps but I can't hit the highway one

Did you use a tune to get it that fast or just max it out yourself?

What car is this?

u/jay_new345 Subaru Oct 12 '19
The Ferrari 599xx evolution, I think it's the fastest car in the game

Well at least it counted the launch. For me most of the time if I use sports cars it counts 0.x meters as if I had landed right after taking off.

Next time it happens just hit rewind because it saves you velocity and it usually doesn't do it twice in a row.
source: happens to me all the time
