Anna/Forza Link locking game up

Ok so anytime I finish a story race or whatever, I get Anna telling me all her life story and I dont care honestly. Everything goes fine until it says use d-pad to activate forza link.

If i push this dang button any harder ima break my controller. I’ve tried re-binding the controls. Tried turning off forza link and Anna all together. Doesn’t work. Its driving me nuts

Still happening to me in 2025. Honestly, Playground Games gotta step things up, they’ve had 4 YEARS to fix this, but alas, still happening to me in 2025

Edit - Technically it days 3 years later above this comment, but 2025 - 2021 = 4, so I’m sticking with 4 years
