First Forza Horizon 3 Patch is Here – Fixes Stuttering

Forza Horizon 3 is already off to a great start, but as with any game launch, there were a few hiccups to be fixed. The first patch addresses quite a few problems, but the most important one is that it fixes the framerate stuttering issues on Windows 10. If you used unlocked or high framerates, this was quite an annoying problem, but today’s patch should fix that up for you.

There’s also a few additional options for control options, allowing for better setup and support for steering wheels.

Check out the full change log below:
