Hello, I need some help. I keep getting this message. “The Forza Motorsport server is not available at this time. Please try again later.”
I am getting the same issue. I am poor in FM3. Auction house has been helping me make cash.
Same issue here.
Does anyone know what’s going on with the servers?
I get the same error, yet I am able to go to online races. My best guess is that they shut down the servers for AH and Store Front like they did in FM2. Hope an admin. can update us.
I’m hoping they’re doing maintenance on the T10 servers because I’ve completed FH2 F&F7 and in the reward section hasn’t updated and I haven’t received my in game credits that I’ve redeemed this month for FM4. Hope both issues are related.
Lastly, I agree that in the “News” section of this forum they should update the community on these issues. For example when they will end online support and end of life the DLC on the marketplace. I bought FM3 in 2014 new and found out the hard way the DLC issues…so with FM4 I have all DLC to avoid same mistake. Only DLC i don’t have is the LCE stuff such as the custom BMW liveries.
i bought FM3 last week a 2nd time, so i can get another FM-Game to 100%,
BUUUUUUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS WAS WORTHLESS., cause the AH is offline. So, of course i have the same Problem like u all 
I also understand that online services of older games will be shut down, but as a customer i expect a short info before such an action… would be no Problem if T10 posts it here saying that some services will be closed by the end of XXXXX (then everybody knows it and have a chance to complete the game before the end). Doing that without Information makes me, as a customer, angry…
But maybe it is only a short problem and will be resolved soon…or T10 opens it again for a short time and gives info about that… THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NICE!!!
C’mon 3 days and no update on issue? I could care less on the RVM or HMA articles on the forum. I love Forza as a franchise, but dislike the poor support. What happened to keeping the customer happy? Better yet what happened to buying a complete game and not worry about loosing game functionality along the way…guess I’ll wait until Monday…
Also having same issues with Xbox 360 FM3 servers, not available for past couple of days.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is this temporary or have they stopped running the servers for the older games? Please, someone who knows comment.
yip getting the same hope they return the cars i had for sale in the auction house and redeem the credits for the ones that sold as i am aware fm4 server is working fine.
Hi there
I too am wondering what is happening with Forza Motorsport 3 online.
Please give a warning Turn10, if Forza 3 is going to be shut down.
welcome to the world of turn 10…as long as we keep buying there bulls++t then everything is hunky dory…as soon as there is a problem that needs fixing…FORGET IT…no-one giving an explanation…you lot suck turn 10…stop fingering each others butts and get fixing!!
still no reply…no fix…
[Mod Edit - profanity is not permitted on these forums - MM]
well it looks bad for FM3, but the worst thing is that no one reacts…for me as a fellow forza-buyer that is very disappointing!!! (i played ALL Forza-games until now)
The most disappointing thing is how developers communicate with customers in the gaming business …It is a shame…CUSTOMER CARE?? What is this? T10 is a good example…
Release DLC after DLC to earn money, that is the only thng they do…and of course preparing for Forza 6 to sell more copies…but there should be more:
- answer to customers questions
- newsflow about "old games and servers that will be “killed” BEFORE that happens
- newsflow if there are Problems with games, Servers, Network, save files etc.
All These Points are absolute BASICS for companies with customer realtionships…but not here in this Business…
And it would be soooooooooooooooooo easy to make us happy…but it seems that nothing will change 
SO THERE IS ONLY ONE CONCLUSION: I WON`T BUY FORZA 6 IF THEY DONT TREAT CUSTOMERS LIKE CUSTOMERS! That is the only thing they will feel if several people also act the same way.
Yes, took the words right out of my mouth. I’ll have to buy you a beer sometime mate. Keep pressing on. I too played/completed all Forzas except for this and 4.
We need these games to be working right or at least give prior warning before closures.
Yeah, I don’t recommend even touching FM4 because the unicorn achievement is literally impossible now with support and communications dropped.
Basically for a list of ‘impossibles’ we now have Forza 3’s all online achievements, Forza 2 auction house achievement, and Forza 4’s unicorn achievement.
Would be great to get a response to the FM3 issues.
You’d skip the best game in the series because of a single achievement? It’s not impossible to get either. If you’ve got a unicorn car in FM3, start FM4, it’ll ask you if you’d like to “import” your FM3 save (it works through your HDD, not through servers), then you should get at least one unicorn car in FM4. The achievement pops and there you go.
If the FM3 servers really are finished, I’d recommend just moving on to FM4. FM4 is very similar to FM3, except better in every way. We’ve even got monthly comps like it was still 2011 thanks to the community keeping things alive.
Turn 10’s lack of custom support has always been an issue. They just don’t seem to care; it’s extremely disappointing.

EVERYTHING APART FROM THE TRACKS! …FM3 tracks are STILL the best in the franchise! That’s why I have been back re-doing my career and creating loads of lobby races. Disappointed the public lobbies are gone too!
Another T10 public relations fubar!
As far as I remember, the only tracks FM4 didn’t have that FM3 did was New York and the Sidewinder tracks. I miss New York but didn’t usually run Sidewinder, so losing them wasn’t that big of deal for me.
New York, LeMans Bugatti, Sidewindwer test tracks, Rally di Positano, Camino Viejo Extreme Reverse. …ALL excellent tracks! (Esp Rally di Positano!)
What about all the tracks they excluded from FM5?
Ah, those were the other ones!
This thread’s about FM3’s servers being down, don’t start ranting about FM5 here.
