It’s almost here. We’re only five weeks from the release of Forza Horizon 5 on Nov. 9. We know you’re incredibly eager to explore the vibrant and ever-evolving landscapes of Mexico, and we can’t wait to hand you over the keys to experience our biggest, most diverse Horizon adventure yet.



Forza Horizon 5 launches with 53 achievements for a total of 1,000 Gamerscore. Many are tied to our new free-form Horizon Adventure campaign mode; others encourage you to be more social by participating in online events and engaging with the Forza community. We’ve also included several photography achievements so dust off those camera skills and get ready to capture the striking beauty and contrast of Mexico.

Here’s the full list:

Changes in this update:

- Fixed some incorrect disconnect messages.
- Blocked an exploit that could be used to crash servers.
- Added a Mulitplayer Option to disable sprays to prevent other players' sprays from appearing on your client.
- Temp files are removed from disk after each session. Use "l4d_delete_temp_files 0" to disable this.

Now you can easily share your amazing playlists. We've moved all default playlists to a new Online Playlists tab. You can create a new playlist in the Local Playlist tab and then upload it online. A unique share code is then generated that your friends, fans, and followers can subscribe to. They are dynamic, so as you update your playlists, your subscribers will stay up to date with changes. Share your playlist share code around for a chance to be featured as one of our Playlists of the Week!



We added six new reactivity (3 ground and 3 air) skills to the trainer - a total of 30 new levels. See how far you climb. Featuring dynamic difficulty and ranked progression, we think it's a great tool to help you lock in that precise and steady reaction needed for amazing FPS tracking skills.
We've also totally overhauled the look of the Tracking Trainer - very clean, if we do say so ourselves.



We've updated our default playlists (now under Online Playlists). This is a fresh start, with improved playlists. With upcoming features, we’ll be adding more variety, tailoring to every player’s needs and skill level.

• We changed our base playlists and now have four base playlists: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and a special Movement list that is created by long-standing moderator and all-around outstanding aimer, patys. Read more about the movement list here.
  
• We updated and consolidated our two Apex playlists into one handy list.
  
• Updated our Valorant list - there was never a better tool to hit Radiant.
  
• We also tidied up our Fortnite list (updated and merged two lists into one).
  
• We created new lists for CSGO, Warzone, Overwatch and Splitgate.
  
• Check out a very special Fortnite Playlist from the one and only Mr Savage!
  

Featuring a brand new map that is designed to show the basic mechanics you can expect to master in our software, we updated how the player is introduced to the software.


There's always been a ton of different things you can do in KovaaKs and we've made it easier to find new and interesting scenarios and playlists. When you come back to the software, you'll be greeted with a window that shows you a new scenario a day, featured creators, playlists, videos and more!

A ton of work under the hood of this one to ensure the integrity of the leaderboards. We changed the underlying network communication protocol, which should resolve connectivity issues some reported. We’ve also added handling for the full set of client error conditions with improved messaging/display of those conditions. Lastly, we added checks for a number of cheats and now react to them properly, preventing leaderboard score submission.

This patches up to the most recent version and should result in a more stable playing experience for everyone.

• Added mouse sensitivity and FOV support for Rust, Splitgate, CSGO, Destiny 2, Halo, and Battlefield.
  
  
  
• Sandbox: added option to change enemy color when crosshair is on target.
  
  
  
• Sandbox: added optional “Countdown Before Challenge Start” under Settings->Main. This widget is movable and can be recolored too.
  
  
  
• Sandbox STATS: You can now hide individual “Grouped Rounds” on the left side-bar.
  
• Sandbox STATS: Selecting a dot on the graph will highlight the correspondent stats on the left side bar.
  
• Sandbox: Add option to override Weapon Model in scenarios. Find this option in the Weapons tab.
  
• Sandbox: You can now make your bots glow. Check out the “GLOW UP” slider in the color picker of Enemy Colors (Visuals tab). Remember that you need to have your “Scene Color” (found in the Video tab) set to at least Medium to see the effect.
  
  
  
• Sandbox: when playing a playlist in non-randomized order and finishing the playcount of a scenario, it will be marked “DONE”.
  
• Sandbox: for scenarios that have timescale set higher or lower than 1, the second counters are now representative of real time (this applies to the scenario editor and the challenge countdown timer).
  
• You can now scale texture sizes and save them as part of Themes.
  
  
  
• Updated the default weapon model in the game.
  
  
  
• Art optimizations that reduced over 1GB in download and over 3GB in install disk space!
  
• Bunch of tech debt paid down.
  
• Sandbox: improved search performance for local scenarios.
  
• Added DPI and FOV scale to the CSV stats file output.
  
• Sandbox: weapon bar is hidden when ammo is infinite & the player only has one selectable weapon.
  
• Various tooltips updated.
  
• Fixed some issues with highscores not getting posted to the leaderboard.
  
• Sandbox: fixed reload button functionality in Local Scenarios tab.
  
• Sandbox: added separate variables for “zoom in” and “zoom out” for better ADS action.
  
• Sandbox: fixed an issue where semi-auto weapons aren’t always ready to fire on scenario restart.
  
• Sandbox: nested enemy and teammate color options in settings.
  
• Sandbox: updated wording of UI Settings tab so that the functionality is more clear (check to show, not check to hide).
  
• Version number is now prominently displayed.
  
• Numerous bug fixes and enhancements.

This Unreal Engine upgrade featured an overhaul to the audio engine. This caused some issues for some players (crackling, delay) and to address this we have added some tunable audio buffer settings (under Settings > Sound). Scroll to the bottom and there are two settings for audio buffer. The first is Buffer Size (default is 256). The second is the number of buffers (default is 1, but can be set up to 5). We think the defaults should cover most cases for players, but if you experience crackling, try bumping the buffer size up to 512. Note that you’ll have to restart KovaaK’s after making any changes.




As always, we wouldn't be here without you, so please send us your feedback and ideas - find us @KovaaKs and on our Discord. Thanks for your support; more great stuff coming soon!

Artist's Depiction

The moose is the largest herbivore in the forests of most pet-producing planets, living on a steady diet of tree bark and underwater plants. Moose are bipedal, but they have vestigial forelegs which are sometimes used to convey happiness or threaten others in the forest. Moose grow additional heads as they age to confuse predators. Remember the old phrase -- "With more heads, the faster it treads!"

Happy October, everyone! I've been hiding in the mountains and watching the real world moose eat some very colorful aspen trunks. The Orbital Drop update is still being developed, and is getting to the point where new pets need to be added for some new areas being introduced. The current plan is to also make those pets available in the live version of the game, wandering around current areas. The first of these will be the Moose, which will require somewhat more complicated factory layouts to produce.
