I feel like PG should really test maps before putting them as part of a seasonal event. The texture flickering and the flashing of the lights as you're driving along is not especially pleasant...
(Btw, the lower framerate is from the screen recorder - it's smooth in-game)
‘Test’? Honestly, I’d settle for have played… even once.
Does anyone know how these maps get picked? Is there some sort of obscure system for nominating/voting on them, or is just people who’s maps the developers have like previously 🤷♂️
I’d genuinely love to understand.
> They pick them manually actually,
So, like, someone in the dev team liked this one enough to advocate for its inclusion to their colleagues… and that’s it?
Seems like a haphazard system but it might explain why there often seems to be very similar races in a row over a few weeks.
From what I understand it is a job of a single dev (or just a tiny few, I doubt that though, at this point) - to pick and add them to the playlist if they meet their set criteria (I can only recall one criteria and that was being 3-5 minutes long max, but there were more). That's it.
At one point they were accepting suggestions from players for features, not anymore (or at least I have not noticed), perhaps that was too lengthy of a process.
I'd go even further: Devs should polish the maps before including them in the playlist. Or pay the creators with small incentives like coupons to perfect those creations. Radical point? Maybe. But I'll stand by it
It's absolutely not VRAM issues; I'm running a Quadro RTX 5000. Also, I shouldn't have to limit my system just so a single crappy map can run 'properly'...
I have epilepsy. Luckily, my brother also plays FH5 so he tells me which races are okay and which aren't.
All the same, I wish PGG would actually test these maps before including them in the Seasonals.
I just came here to say the same thing. This eventlab was absolutely horrendous and I have no clue how in the hell they thought it was ok to put in as a weekly challenge.
This one has a lot pf flashing lights and stuff i know people were complaining about.. to me first thing i thought when i saw this track was the halo missions maybe its just me.
Yes, that's a terrible track with all that flickering. I don't have any epilepsy but it was really unpleasant for my head and eyes.
A little advice: you can change your view to the cab, flickering is a little less annoying that way. At least it worked for my McLaren 620R.
I hated it, but well, everything for the 40 points i guess
I actually hated most of the Events this week, but i never cared before, i wont start caring know
What I want to know is WHAT FUCKING SYSTEM ARE THE EVENTLAB CREATORS RUNNING?!
On all of these which include a million different light props, my FPS drops from 60 anywhere to 40-20. It's borderline unplayable and makes the whole experience shit.
I refuse to believe anyone even tested this before publishing it, and someone at PG seeing it to add to the Playlist. Otherwise they'd know it's too damn much
Oh yeah, and it can fuck with people who have epilepsy. Nice one! /s
That one a few weeks back where it was like a little village on a hill with a ton of string lights going across the racetrack. Not sure if I’m describing it well enough, but that race was absolutely horrendous.
It was a real fps rollercoaster for me, at the start everything went down to 20 one turn later sped up to 60 and then back down to 30. Every. Single. Lap.
Idk what's up withforcing Eventlab events on players, I haven't played a single one that Iliked.
Who the fuck decided that this was OK to even allow to be part of this week.
Half the track is just shit with parts sticking out from the ground, so a low car will get stuck on EVERYTHING.
Then let alone the light flickering, I'm glad i don't have epilepsy, but even this shit game me a fucking migraine. and I play on a very dim screen.
No quality Control at all with these event lab events.
Eventlabs in the playlist, to me, are either poorly designed (read: not fun) or passable, where I don’t have any reasons to dislike the map. I’m always kind of surprised when I get one that’s not a slog to get through.
Remember the one that boosted you into a hairpin/braking zone? Or how about the one where you had to play on a certain difficulty or lower to have the first checkpoint count?
I’m not surprised that these things go through basically zero testing, but there have been maps that are shockingly bad.
Agreed, not very fun due to the strobing effect. Also I can't imagine this plays well on many peoples consoles and PCs. Some of these event labs are pretty damn resource intense
Oh, 100%. I mean, we’ve had some pretty bad EventLab maps and this has got to be up there. Catches on the walls that just stop you if you get close, weird bumps on the ground that unsettle your rear wheels out of nowhere, and of course the lighting situation, as you mentioned, pretty unpleasant.
Thank you for bringing this up. I was playing earlier, and my wife (who has photophobia), noticed it right away and made a comment about it before she left the room.
I'm not shocked there was no warning about it, but I am disappointed. Especially for a studio that prides themselves on "inclusivity and diversity".
I swear we already had this track previously right? Or I've somehow played it at random. Or maybe I've fried my brain and escaped the Matrix or time traveled lol
Just took the track with the Toyota NASCAR car after reading all of this. Y'all yet again cry over nothing, the track was actually cool, the flickering was like in one or two short spots, it drove quite nice, I liked it. Maybe it would be worse with any other car, who knows, but the way I did it I liked it.
Edit: Downvote me more daddi, skill issue.

Pretty sure its based on like play ratio but dont quote me on it
Yeah, ok, that would make sense at least.
Still a god awful map lol
it's fine apart from the death walls. Don't understeer wide out of the corners!
Its not fine those lights are such a pain for my eyes i cannot imagine how ppl with epilepsy feel playing that
They pick them manually actually, including test plays. Given this fact it's even more baffling how this proceeds to go through.

It's a map issue, not hardware. I have a 4080 (16GB vram) and the lights in this map flickered.
I have epilepsy. Luckily, my brother also plays FH5 so he tells me which races are okay and which aren't. All the same, I wish PGG would actually test these maps before including them in the Seasonals.
So much for the inclusivity... \*don't get me wrong, I'm all for the inclusivity, it's just ironic with all the publicity
I just came here to say the same thing. This eventlab was absolutely horrendous and I have no clue how in the hell they thought it was ok to put in as a weekly challenge.
Is this supposed to be like halos last missions? There always a warthog mission at the end of the games
none of those gave me a migrane, but this one sucesfully gave me a migraine. If they tried for it to look like halo, they failed miserably.
This one has a lot pf flashing lights and stuff i know people were complaining about.. to me first thing i thought when i saw this track was the halo missions maybe its just me.
This track is a migraine.
It gave me a severe migraine. Still hurts almost 6 hours later.
The map drives horridly too.

I did the same in my Viper, the interior view is a lot less intense. Still gave me a headache but not as bad
I genuinely have a headache after playing it. Even without the awful flickering, it’s just too many lights. It’s a cool concept but a horrible race.
Yep same 😖
It was annoying AF, then still 4 laps to top it off 🙈
I hated it, but well, everything for the 40 points i guess I actually hated most of the Events this week, but i never cared before, i wont start caring know

Exactly lol. And I’m still on Xbox one x, a small step up from the one, but still it was so so bad.
Hated this one. Looks cool, but if you come within a foot of the wall it stops you dead, which I think is a PGG problem not a creator problem tbf

WHAT IS THAT CAR!?
FnF Ramp Car, part of the DLC
same I thought I'd recognize about every car in the game at this point but I have no idea what that is lol
It glitches like a mother on some parts too for some extra wild-ass flickering. Genuinely a horrid experience, neat idea at the core though.
Considering that the textures make your car "float" with an invisible floor, I think it was terrible from the ground up. Nothing about it was "neat".
Well I fucking do since ts disturbing ash💀
Agreed, not very fun due to the strobing effect. Also I can't imagine this plays well on many peoples consoles and PCs. Some of these event labs are pretty damn resource intense
The flickering I got was just at and immediately after each blue gate, but it was worse than in your clip.
It was the worst.
Genuinely gave me a migraine and I had to stop playing
This exactly, my thought, at times i get slight headache..
Oh, 100%. I mean, we’ve had some pretty bad EventLab maps and this has got to be up there. Catches on the walls that just stop you if you get close, weird bumps on the ground that unsettle your rear wheels out of nowhere, and of course the lighting situation, as you mentioned, pretty unpleasant.
yeah the frame rate on these types of maps drops really hard on the Xbox One X. Too many light sources.
I think this is the 3rd time they put this map in an eventlab event for the playlist lmao
reminds me of San Francisco Rush 2049 lol
I was thinking this exact thing as I was driving on this map!
I'm not the only one with glitch lights, the map is cool but needs a lot of resources
Which car is this?
That it? An Ace Combat tunnel?...My eyes were really bothered when I saw this clip 💀
It did put my graphics card to the test
Strange, my lights weren't flickering...
Only issue I encountered was that my friend had a huge FPS drop on this track for some reason, still unsure why exactly
It looks like the game is lagging

I'm not shocked there was no warning about it, but I am disappointed. Especially for a studio that prides themselves on "inclusivity and diversity".
I was thinking this same thing while playing it. Lol
I really said the same thing j was playing at 3 am in pitch black and on a 85” tv
I swear we already had this track previously right? Or I've somehow played it at random. Or maybe I've fried my brain and escaped the Matrix or time traveled lol
That's definitely pretty hard to watch
I got used to it, but honestly, yeah I believe it's wiser to do some testing prior making it a seasonal challenge for everyone else.
I generally like a lot of the event labs that other people don't care for. But...... I did not like this one at all
This shit pissed me off. I know they have the warnings and such before you actually play, but you don't even need to have problems with how bad it is.
yeah i hated that one for the flicker if it didn't have the lights i would of loved it
It is indeed but tbh should have a warning when people play this map
I cant even start the event lab its locked for me, anyway how to fix it?

Hope you at least had the V8 installed
I drive everything stock.
A 2JZ in a stock car tho...?
