I played Saturday night and yesterday evening and had online disconnects both days. Btw, when I look at the car packs that are available I've got one of them and the 7 cars included says "Purchased" but don't have them in my garage, nor can I find anywhere to claim them. Also when I got my first house the game told me I'd get in-game T-shirts (which I did) but also a Volvo for playing FH3 and it's the same problem here, I don't know where to claim this car?
I heard that the servers were unable to keep up with the huge player databased , hence servers were getting hammer and lots of disconnects were happening to everyone trying to play multiplayer online racing :/ , i hope they upgrade their servers. Have you checked in windows store for all the things you own ? Try to check , windows store / My library / All owned and find out if there are inside there and ready to install or download , if so download and install then check your game again. Also check your xbox app on windows and open your messages , there might be your codes for your free stuff , xbox / messages / check in there for microsoft messages. I hope this helps. Kind Regards: Chispy

Thanks, looks like I had to go to the DLC pack and "buy" them there for free. The FH3 reward is still gone though (I'm fairly sure I read the "Iron Knight" but maybe I'm wrong). I did get a free car in the messaging system, so that's a nice find
I’ve been pretty disappointed with this game to be honest, just seems like the majority of the content was literally copy/pasted from FH3 with the terrible cosmetic items and stupid celebrations being the only new thing in the game. The map, while very pretty just feels too small, the showcase events were ok but there’s not really many of them and I blasted through all the other story modes and race events pretty quickly. I do like the addition of weekly championships but with the map not really being that large I find that all you’re really doing is racing round the same track layouts as the standard race events. Feels like the series could do with more time between releases, with 3 games being released within 4 years of each other the formulas starting to get stale.
Demo is DX12 and RTSS has no issue with other DX12 games. It worked in demo but didnt in final? It seems like to me like they coded it this way: you start forza, forza sees RTSS running, forza closes. I might be wrong, but it really just looks like it closes whenever there is an attempt by RTSS to inject into the process. You can try by turning off osd and setting application detection to none, starting forza and after you're in the game alt tab, reenable osd and detection level(low works fine for me) and as soon as you get back to forza it will shutdown. It's really baffling me why would they do that, game is really well optimized and looks amazing with nice fps (144Hz monitor) and it would be nice to see hardware info within game itself.
I drove the Peel P50 car tonight. Its top speed is about 45 MPH. I thought it is possible to flip the car if I try to go around curves too fast but the car skids instead of flipping. I know that they make the car for UK only. I wish that they sell the car in USA but people buy huge pickup trucks and SUVs instead of regular cars.
Another , new patch downloaded today 384.1MB from the windows store download page of your software ( FH4 ). I will check later what was on this today's download ...
It does not autoupdate itself for me , instead i do it myself looking for updates on the windows store. You have to go to the windows store and select downloads and updates / then hit get updates. it will then update your game if there is a patch / update or fix.
Check that you allow the store to work in the backgrtound. Otherwise, updates will not be downloaded. Settings>Privacy>Background apps
Thank you guys , that indeed was my problem and why the game was not updating for me. Store has to be set to run on the background on privacy settings , now i have fix it .
Not bad! Finally got around playing the demo and I must say Im impressed. It's muuuch better then FH3 (at least the demo), gfx is nice too. Runs great as well, well from what it's worth @ DSR 2880x1620p https://i.**********/qhqpp2JR/Forza-Horizon-4-Demo-8-11-2018-00-48-05.png
