I cannot join horizon life, it just says finding session forever.
Before loading up Forza the Xbox App Network tab says my NAT Type is Open and Server connectivity is Connected, I can also join xbox party chats.
As soon as I open the game and attempt to join Horizon Online I noticed my Server connectivity turns to blocked and I can no longer join xbox party chat, all while the game is forever trying to find a horizon life session.
I have tried everything Microsoft suggest on their support pages and forums and yet no luck.
Open the Start Menu then type ‘Windows Firewall’. Look for ‘WIndows Firewall with Advanced Security’ then open that program.
On the left pane, you should see a list which should look like this:
Click on ‘Inbound Rules’.
On the pane located all the way to the left, click on ‘New Rule…’.
Click on Program (although it should be already selected), then click ‘Next’.
Click on ‘This program path’, if it is not already selected, then click on ‘Browse’.
Search for the program then click ‘Open’, then click ‘Next’.
Ensure the ‘Allow the connection’ is selected. It should be by default.
Now you can select when you would like this rule to apply to the program… Depending on the connection type. I’d prefer you to leave all 3 selected. Click ‘Next’.
You’ll have to name your rule, so just type something simple like ‘Forza Horizon 4’. You can leave the description blank.
Click ‘Finish’.
Your inbound rule should have been created. If you look for it in the list, it should appear.
Now, you’ll need to do the same thing with the ‘Outbound Rules’ tab. Just follow the same instructions above. Make sure to check the list to verify your rule was created.
After you’ve completed creating your inbound and outbound rules, close the window.
Close any other open programs or files. Don’t forget to save any open work. (:
Next, restart your computer. There’s no need to shut it down completely, but you can if you prefer.
Try running the game. Post your results for me. I will cross my fingers and hope this works.
If it doesn’t, don’t lose faith… There are still a few more things we can try if this process fails.
Its not possible to start the game with Admin-Rights. I cant click on open after finding the FH4 exe for Firewall Settings. You cant do NOTHING. Microsoft is not able to make games. After 1 Week and 100€ payed its not possible to play this game. Last game for me. Such a shame…
Try resetting the xbox app. u can do that by pressing your windows button then press setting and go to apps and features and search for xbox app and then click on it, click advanced options after that scroll down until u see reset. that works for me.
