I’ve had no luck getting it to work on my Linux machine :(
Same, the game is in a wild state. The proton hotfix freaked KDE right out, and Proton GE appeared to work, but started consistently crashing while I was meddling with settings, I can't even run the benchmark anymore. Returned for now, I'll wait for a sale before trying again.

Black screen on startup?
No it won’t even open
You did remember to set the compatibility mode? It requires Proton 10, you might need to set that, or you could try removing Proton 10 and trying to redownload it.
Yes I tried GE proton and several valve protons with no luck
Did you pirate it? I’ve had no issues through steam
It seems they're taking about non steam OS builds. It runs fine on my Legion Go S with bazite, getting like 90fps on medium and balanced mode with frame gen.
Bazzite is not a Steam OS build
Wait, do you think Bazzite is SteamOS? They're two totally different things, just with similar goals. However, both are just Linux distros. They aren't anything special. They just come with certain packages pre-installed. You can add them on any distro.

Microslop lied about divesting from Israel. It’s up to each of us to support murder by buying Forza.

I mean, I'm generally against murder, but if you say so...
This one is going to be a difficult one for me to avoid, being a huge fan of arcadey racers and the Horizon series in general :/ 4 and 5 were pretty much the only live service games I've ever bought (except a few MMOs I've subbed to back in the day).
Upside is, I haven't really had much time to play games lately, and won't for at least a few more months, so even if I do end up caving in, it probably won't be for a few more months. Maybe they'll manage to enshittify it by then and I won't be interested lol
Or you could pirate it
Or just pay version 4 or 5 because it's exactly the same game.
This. I've played fh3, 4, and 5. Only changes are visual and a couple new cars. It's not an awful game, but I'd rather play modded BeamNG.drive.
Yes. It's an open world racing game, what the hell else would they change? It's like expecting Madden to charge every year besides new rosters, it's football what else are they going to change?
I get your point, I'm just not sure what your expectations are.

The shitty gameplay! The shiity physics! The franchise mode. Shitty AI. Awful monetization. All of the other singleplayer modes. All of the features they've stripped out over the years. So much.
This. I can still play most of the fh3 campaign without an internet connection. Can't say the same for fh5.
I might if the multiplayer stays working in the cracked version tbh
Right now it's somehow functional, but I wouldn't be surprised if they used it for more HWID bans
Then you probably shouldn't look into the genocide China is currently doing. You'd buy almost nothing.
I have, and yes I buy the things I need from elsewhere.
Who told you that? Oh, that's right! It was the same people supporting the genocide in Palestine and the war with Iran!
China is not involved in a genocide. Capitalists always project their own crimes onto their critics to turn the public against their critics. China has made rapid and beneficial development for its people that has made the west increasingly desperate to prevent it being an example for the global south to follow suit, as it would undermine the west's imperialism. Their solution is to accuse China of that which America is guilty.
Yeah it's doing those things, while also eradicating Uyghur culture. And that is a form of genocide. Two things can be true.
Just because it's possible both can be true, that doesn't mean they are. That is a meritless argument. There is no Uyghur genocide. Western media made it up because there isn't a source in the west that challenges this narrative. They made it up to discredit China. Over the past 60 years and more, the Uyghur population has increased from 2.2 million to about 12 million, and their average life expectancy has grown from 30 to 75 years. Their GDP has been steadily rising.
The so-called “genocide” in Xinjiang is a lie cooked up by anti-China forces represented by the anti-China German scholar Adrian Zenz. He is a member of the far-right group “Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation” sponsored by the US government, and a key figure in an anti-China organization set up by US intelligence agencies. He is also a racist. His “research” is full of inconsistencies, fabrications and data manipulation.
The western media is making this shit up to distract us from the fact that they are doing exactly what they accuse China of doing.

Must feel super convenient to be able to just say "no that's fake"
It's no more convenient than to make flimsy arguments backed by nothing but ignorant assumptions.

It works quite well. At the start i have to tab out and in again so the game doesnt stay black. All the launch option i found for the game in the past days pretty much didnt do anything or introduced other issues from my experience. So i have none implemented atm.
I get the asset streaming stutters/timestretches mentioned in the article as well as soon i dial in the geometry and texture details above "high". Which is a bit weird since a X3D chip and 16GB VRAM shouldnt have issues with texture streaming at all. But it still looks great on high and tbf my 4-5 year old hardware has no issues playing in 4k60 on high without upscaling. Cant complain. RT crashes the game but RDNA2 doesnt do well with RT performance either way.
Recognition of my controllers is a bit weird. With some launch options i tried i couldnt get my controllers working. Xbone Controller needed some fiddling with the Steaminput options.
Game only supports temporal AA solutions. FSR3 and Xess are shit as always. FSR4 INT8 via optiscaler crashes the game atm sadly. The TAA in FH6 is pretty good though. It doesnt smear or has obvious doubling artifacts. Just a bit soft and that typical TAA "look" which i got used to pretty fast.
I also tried GE-proton-10-34 which at first seemed to be a bit more stable and less stuttery before i narrowed it down to the texture/geometry detail settings. Setting the performance level to "highest clocks" in LACT might(!) help with stutters a bit too.
For the game itself: Its more of the same with a much improved map. I'm mostly happy that we got finally a full highway loop and a lot(!) more curvy and interesting to drive roads. Progression and story still sucks. Those festival wrist bands are just some make-up on a pig. It feels the same compared to past titles in the last 10 years. I played maybe 6-8 hours. Dicked around mostly, barely done any racing and already have like 50 cars and 2 million credits without the progression boost of the premium edition. It is what it is. Story, characters and writing are still painfully bad. Its worse than just nothing since you cant even skip the cutscenes. Just shut the fuck up you soulless fucks. At the start you still get constantly and forcefully stopped in your gameplay because the game needs to tell you something like you're a baby. I'd love to see a slightly hidden menu option where i can confirm that i'm a big boi and already played a game once before.
But yeah, still the best racing game in recent years. Great handling cars, fucktons of cars and content, great looking and optimized graphics. I will put in my 30-50 hours and be pretty happy.
