Re: [blind-gamers] (Forza Motorsport and onboard graphics,

[haylieg2780]

It is funny I picked this one up since I am not much into racing games, but I 
have had trouble putting this one down.

Hi Cara, Haylie, And all.

Thank you both for the emails.

I decided to get a £1 trial of the Xbox game pass for 14 days which lets me try 
out Forza on my PC with out having to pay the full amount, and this game is 
absolutely amazing.

If anyone is a bit unsure if there hardware is good enough to run it, or if 
they aren’t sure if this game is for them getting a £1 trial of Xbox game pass 
is a much more affordable test over spending the full amount to find they’d 
have an issue running it.

 

The level of detail in the accessibility is nothing short of wonderful.

I’m not sure why I care what my driver looks like, what there rase gear looks 
like, but I found I totally do. And the racing accessibility is fantastic.

If anyone is thinking it’s just like top speed 3 but just better, it kind of 
is, but just a million times better. It’s like comparing a pedal bike with an 
f1 car.

 

To answer my own question.

I’ve not had anyone look at it yet from a visual point of view but the game 
plays fine on my on-board graphics. It’s a bit slow, I hear “Loading” quite a 
bit on the video clips, but I suspect that’s because I’ve not installed it to 
an SSD, I didn’t have 118 Gig free on my SSD.

I did see keyboard options, but I’m playing with an Xbox controller at the 
moment. I suspect it would be quite a bit harder to play just using a keyboard. 
I’m not sure how it would work with any other controller.

 

The haptics on the Xbox controller are fabulous, although a little baffling at 
the start. So, I think It gives a little shake every time it changes gear, or 
if I’m driving over something a bit rough, or when I hit a barrier. It would be 
good to know exactly what all the little shakes and stuff mean.

 

My 14-year-old son was pretty infused that I was thinking about trying this out 
so in the morning I’m sure he’ll be all over it and I’ll get a better idea of 
what the visuals look like using the on-board graphics card I’ve got. He’ll 
also be nagging me to get his Logitech steering wheel set up on my PC. It’ll be 
interesting to see how the force feedback impacts my driving. In my first race 
I tried, with very high level of AI support I came 3rd, so I’m quite happy 
about that. I’m following the advice to start with driver assists high and 
bring them down as I understand how all the sounds work together. There’s quite 
a learning curve, but it’s well worth spending the time on this one I think.

 

This game could well be on my Christmas list.

 

Sorry for the slightly gushing email, but I’ve wanted to play a racing game 
like this for as long as I’ve known racing games are a thing.

Thanks.

Nick.

Hi All.

I’m really quite interested in (Forza Motorsport. My son has a force feedback

I’ve got a pretty good PC and easily meet the specs for everything other than

For what felt like obvious reasons at the time, I didn’t bother getting 
anything other than onboard graphics when I specified my PC and concentrated on 
processor and memory as I mostly use it for audio design and coding.

 

Has anyone tried playing (Forza Motorsport with onboard graphics or will it 
just not work? I did try a google but it’s quite an unusual question, 

 

According to the DX diagnostic tool my graphics card is:

  Display Memory: 8243 MB

Dedicated Memory: 128 MB

Re: [blind-gamers] bowling

[Cara Quinn]

Hi again Charles, when we do update Ten Pin Alley, we will absolutely be 
including 3D physics and game-play. This will be a much more comprehensive and 
realistic experience. So this will be a lot of fun and should be more of what 
you’re after.

Cheers!

Re: [blind-gamers] games that are on xbox and pc can people please give links?

[Cara Quinn]

Probably the safest controller to get would be an XBox controller. I’m assuming 
that any controller or wheel that works with Windows would probably work though.

There are also controller mapping options available in the game as well, and 
the keyboard is also usable and configurable.

Cheers!

Not sure if this will help, but there is a benchmark option in the PC version 
which will evaluate your system.

You can also adjust the game’s options for different frame rates and whether or 
not to use ray-tracing etc.

I don’t know about compatibility, as I’m not using the PC version, as I’d

Re: [blind-gamers] games that are on xbox and pc can people please give links?

Hi All,

Just want to respond to this since it was my post that started it.

First off, my apologies for not posting links. I honestly had intended 
only to post to gage interest in a possible weekly chat for folks who 
were already playing the game, rather than discuss the game itself.


Secondly, since I am only playing the XBox version, and am not playing 
on PC or looking to play this on a Mac, I had no idea where to 
download the actual game.


For future reference for everyone not on console, when anyone mentions 
that a game is on XBox, you can only ever install that from the 
Microsoft store that I know of, so there is only one place to find 
those games. Obviously, since this game is also available natively on 
PC and also on Steam, this is where the confusion happens.


As a note of interest, I did see someone playing this on an M1 Mac so 
I am assuming this is via Steam. So this does seem to be possible.


Also, it looks like Apple will have more ability to run Windows titles 
natively in the near future so it should be much easier to run these 
titles on Mac.


Lastly, to the person who mentioned that a Forza Discord server 
already exists, (Forza Motorsport Blind Masters) I did look it up and 
found that the link had expired.


Do you know if this still exists, or do you have an updated link?

At this point, I don’t see why having another Forza chat would be a 
bad thing so for now at least, I’ll plan on seeing if folks would 
still like to do this. Any thoughts, anyone? :)


So once again, my apologies for unknowingly starting a contentious 
thread. It was certainly not my intention.


I wish you all a wonderful weekend and to those who are interested in 
Forza, happy racing! :)


Cheers!

Cara

Hi, Charles.  Totally agree.  How many times have we followed 
multiple Google links, only to find that they weren't what we were

Ironic - a message containing 2 words that does absolutely
nothing to help anyone in this thread or anyone reading it, but
yet we’re complaining about cluttering up the list asking for links.

I agree that research could be done. Far too many people just
want the direct link to something. I feel like internet searches
should be the basic thing people learn when they browse the
internet  so they can answer their own question. On the other
side of that, people here are probably used to obscure websites
and don’t realize that this is not the same as an audio game. You
don’t have to know the exact link. Still, though, really, I think
doing a quick search before asking this question would net you
the result you seek.

On the other side of that coin, I don’t think pointing fingers at
someone’s employment status or lack thereof was at all necessary
or respectful in any way as it applies to doing a search,
laziness, or any of that nonsense. The fact that it was a long
drawn out message complaining about how you work when grabbing
the link would have taken less time, lol. The irony is real on
both sides here and I hope I’m not the 

Re: [blind-gamers] (Forza Motorsport and onboard graphics,

[QuentinC]

Hello,


I would be interested to know the answer as well.


I have heard that Intel integrated graphic cards aren't supported, but I 
don't know if it's true, or if there is a way to turn graphic options to 
the minimum to make it work.


I don't want to pay for the game if I finally can't play, of course.


Another secondary question, I don't have an XBox controller, but a 
logitech gamepad. Will it work with it, or can the game be played with 
the keyboard ?



Thank you.

Um, then Ten-pin Alley may not be quite right for you. From what I've watched of its gameplay, you're allowed to choose, name, gender I think, and whether you're left- or right-handed. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I know this is not a full-blown bowling game, but there is  a minigame in crazy

Its called funny bowling; although it lasts for only a minute, to me at least 
it is almost like ten pin bowling.
You have to first get a blue or a red ball and then aim at the blue or red pins.
If you have unlocked it, you can play it in the rewards room over and over

You will encounter funny bowling in the city world and crazy party is totally
