Today we released the first content update (CU) for Forza Motorsport 6: Apex. This CU includes a number of improvements to the game, including the following:
Players can now disable Vsync in Apex (NOTE: This feature requires upgrading to a specific version of Windows 10 [OS Build 10586.318]). To disable Vsync:
1) Ensure you are on the correct Windows Build 10586.318
2) Select your desired performance from the Performance Target screen:
3) Ensure you application matches your screen resolution settings. The easiest way to do this is set the “Force Resolution” video option to OFF, which will automatically match your game resolution to your native resolution.
4) Ensure your application is running in a full screen mode (no borders / task tray). You can toggle full screen mode by pressing the Alt + Enter keys.
[NOTE: As of this update, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is still capped at a maximum frame rate of 60fps. The team is investigating adding support for higher framerates in a future update.]
Other changes in this CU include:
**Stability and performance updates spanning a number of machine configurations, with specific focus on AMD devices
**Gameplay/objective modifications to a handful of events in both the Showcase Tour and Spotlight Series
**Improved integration between Apex and Forza Hub, as well as improved redemption flow for the free Nissan GT-R bonus car
**Additional UI fixes and general improvements, including: Expiration times for Spotlight Series events are now shown in local time; "New” UI designation now only applies to events that are actually new; Total medals available in Spotlight Series now only counts for active events
[UPDATE: 4:47 p.m. Pacific -- We are aware that a number of users are running into issues with starting Apex since the latest update. For those users who are seeing the 501 Error Code message, you can bypass this error message by holding the "Page Up" button on your keyboard and then clicking the "Quit" button in the popup. The team is continuing to investigate the root cause of these issues.]
