A prototype of Forza Horizon 3 for the PC.

Installation Instructions

1. Once you get OpusDev extracted, enable Developer Mode in Windows, then youll open the folder and run _REGISTER.bat (registers the game to your PC, REQUIRED)

• If _REGISTER.bat fails to install the game properly the manual command for Powershell is in quotes in _REGISTER.bat just run that command from wherever the AppxManifest.xml is on your PC instead of using the register batch for this and Blizzard Mountain.

2. Re-name AppxManifest.xml to AppxManifest_ORIG.xml and AppxManifest_BM.xml to AppxManifest.xml

3. Run _REGISTER.bat (this installs Blizzard Mountain DLC, REQUIRED)

• You now should be all set to run _LaunchOpusRelease.bat(best), _LaunchOpusReleaseFinal.bat(Prompts an update, do not recommend), and _LaunchOpusProfile.bat (Profiling executable, poor performance)

• cmdline.txt has been included and IS REQUIRED for the build to run on modern AMD and Windows, it goes in: "C:\Users\<YOUR_USER>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.OpusPG_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState\scratch"

• Add ForceLocalConnectedStorage=true to the top of cmdline.txt to force the game to save locally at: C:\Users\<YOUR_USER>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.OpusPG_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData (Sorry for the inconvenience i found this as it was uploading)

• Any issues contact me in the Hidden Palace discord!

Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

• This build is roughly 2.5 months post release of the game and 2 days post release of the Blizzard Mountain DLC
• This build has mistakenly been labeled as unable to play on modern AMD hardware running modern Windows versions, well this is incorrect and probably always has been, I'm here to present a fixed release of the build in 1 consolidated download for everyone following the 10 year anniversary of the games release date. *Enjoy!*
• This build was accidentally released on January 3rd, 2017 due to a mix up involving the Rockstar Car Pack DLC.
• This build is notably intended for developers only and contains a debug menu (accessed by either pressing the ` key ON A UK BRITISH ENGLISH KEYBOARD or pressing down on both thumbsticks if using an Xbox One controller)
• The zips and other files in this build are unencrypted and zips use standard zip compression
• The Opus crash loader will appear on boot up after an amount of crashes (usually around 4 or 5 times).
