Forza Horizon 6 Patch Addresses AI Drivatar Issues and Adds Useful Region Tracking
Forza Horizon 6's latest patch, released yesterday, brought a variety of changes to the game. Among the updates, the most intriguing were those related to AI drivatars, which could help reduce the frustration caused by the notorious Bowie Knife99. Under the "AI" section of the patch notes, improvements to difficulty balancing and a fix for drivatar race start behavior were highlighted. While the full impact of these changes remains to be seen, there is hope that they will reduce the chances of a drivatar t-boning players at the start line.
Despite these updates, the behavior of AI drivatars for the rest of the week may remain unchanged. Since Forza Horizon 6's release, numerous videos have shown Bowie Knife99 and other drivatars pushing players off the road, into trees, or even sending them flying through the air. While some players have fought back against this digital tyranny, the issue has largely gone unchecked. However, the changes to the AI drivatars may not be the most exciting part of this patch.
New Feature Makes 100% Completion Easier
A more welcomed update is the addition of a "Roads Driven" percentage in the Region Overview. This feature eliminates the need for players to drive blindly around regions to complete all available roads or seek help from message boards. As one player put it, "Literally was burning my eyeballs out of the socket staring at the map til I got the message in my mailbox that an update was out." The new percentage overview is expected to be a huge help for players trying to complete all their to-do lists.
Another player mentioned being stuck on 670/671 roads completed for over a week. This update is likely to be a godsend for many, providing a clear indication of progress and making the 100% completion of regions more manageable.
