I, a user of linux and gamer of Horizon 6, am enjoying the game very much.
Despite having every graphics setting set to its lowest and framerate capped to 25, as likelyhood of crash seems to increase with GPU load.

I haven't had much problems really, performance could be better but it's enjoyable
I guess you got an AMD GPU? An RTX chud can only dream.
Yup, RX 9070XT. My condolences
It works extremely well on my rtx laptop.
One thing did stand out to me, though: "There are also bugs with 'use-before-alloc' where the application allocates resources after submit and writing descriptors pointing to them to the descriptor heap while GPU is in flight."
In the world of Direct3D 12, allocating resources, writing everything required into them, and then telling the GPU it's all ready is an absolute must for avoiding odd behaviours, rendering glitches, or full-blown crashes. You absolutely don't want to be flinging out a command list to the GPU before or during that whole process, because it could be requesting the wrong data or a resource that isn't even there yet.
Sound like someone on crack figure out how to avoid problem for optimize some weird shit.
How much vibe coding is going into these releases these days? And how can we bring it back to 0?
Trust me, as someone who started in the games industry 20+ years ago: Crappy technical shortcuts and tonnes of WontFix bugs to hit a deadline all happened just fine before AI.
At this point? Maybe the heat death of the universe? Really under 10% would be amazing.
Make CPU/GPU illegal. No process power no AI.
How are you gonna play videogames without a CPU/GPU
Boardgames are not videogames but there are a lot of really good ones these days. Problem is that often you need to be a couple of people to play unless you like the solo experience.
Analog or digital games, all the same fun!
With AI chips. Obviously
They only ask how to bring to 0, not how to bringt to 0 without affect everyone.
Edit: also ask to 0, not reduce. True 0 = nothing at all.
Just go play Motor Town: Behind The Wheel.
Trust me the driving physics are second to only maybe BeamNG and the open world GTA sidejob like structure is a blast to chill out and play in multiplayer or singleplayer.
Urgent taxi jobs are awesome point to point races.

Fuck Microsoft
The latest protonup version of cachyos-proton ON cachyos plus some mixture of the recommended launch arguments suggested online finally got me to a stable 60 on extreme with a 4070. No easy task, lots of trial and error, but its going.
Forza Horizon 6 - StutterFest Edition.
Note: based on my experience, it doesn't look like stuttering but more like lack of proper frame pacing.
God I wish this was fixed, also the issue where vinyls dont show up correctly in the picker.
I wonder if this is an Nvidia thing. It's been working quite well on my AMD hardware. I played for like 4 hours yesterday and then left the game open for 2 more by accident and it was still stable. I did lower some environment graphics settings to reduce microstutters but otherwise it's running quite well at 60 fps.
Fuck microsoft.
